sthe purpose OF representing this Ward in Republican
Centa Committee of the City and County Of New'Yors.
Mr.. Arthur Murphy rose to make objections to THIS

was fair and lust TO call meeting at but one day
notice and then that such meeting, instead OF being
held near the line of Broadway, near tue extreme
edye of the Ward shonld be held more IN the central
norton of the Ward, where there was q hall fitted
Tor the purpose

ing the meeting he thought that one days notice was
quite sufficient for meeting of the kind contemplated
in the call.

resolution that the delegates named in the resolution
should but one meeting-that one OF the Cen
+" trail Committee to be held on Saturday evening".

the Ward

origin of the great Wing party-when by dnt of extra
exertons they could but get together SIX men IN the
Eighth Ward where he had lived forty-six years bat
when success attended their cause thousands came III,
end the Wbig banner foated proudly on the breeze.
MIR Murpby replied that if ne had said aught harsh
he wished 10 be forgiven; the Delegates might be the
hest of citizens; he had heard OF two OF them ana
knew them 80 to be- No doubt the other was oil the
same character. ,.. 81
