81 NJ. EAssls'.-The Republican Association
with It's new accessions and Its sprinkling Of spec
tatcrs, rather overflled the big wigwam las
night Whether from the heat OF the atmospher
In the closely packed room, or from The natura
ments Of large and vigorous organization, IL sool
became apparent to one looking on sbou, tn
edges that more or less Of fuss was brewing.
The list Of applicants being read by the Secre
tary. objection was made on the part Of some 4
the following names, which subjected them 10
separate vote by ballot: Mr.. I. Dean, VIM. G
Srnoot, and Jas. B. Peak. The others Were de
clared unanimously elected, no objection bein,
raised.
The President, (Maj. b. B, French )-Ther
are now three names to be voted upon by ballot.
Mr.. John II. Wise moved that those maxim,
objection be required to state the grounds Of thei
objection.
Mr James w. Decide, OF Georgetown, woul.
inquire IL such motion would not conflict witt
our constitution IL not, why have ne objection
to its passage. =. -..-.... go --..--e
Mr.. Wise think, sir, II Is right and prope
that those Directing should state their reason
therefor. They may object to a member merely
through prejudice.
One Of the objectors-I can give my reasons
for raising an objection, and there are Others whit
can do the same thing.
Voice. Mr.. President: Twill be recollected
th2tno long since The name OF gentleman wal
objected to, and when the person objecting wa,
asked to make known his objections, II wss ruled
out as being unusual, unnecessary, and unconsti
RATIONAL.
The motion requiring gentlemen to state theii
objections that they might have against gentlemen
proposed, being carried, Eel. .
One Of the Objectors rose and said that the OBJ.
lection ne had To Mr. Peak was that be had been
heard 70 speak very unexpectedly Of the repub-
hcans-apPiying very ugly and harsh epithet to

A Voice in the rear.-I renew Ii, as he Is an
employee OF The Government.
Mr.. Coombs.-Mr. President know nothing
whatever OF these gentlemen whose names have
been proposed to night and objected to- but 1
must say that II, as in the case of Mr. Dean, the
only ohJecnon pS that he has at different periods
Identified himself with different political oigani-
nations, such cannot surely be regarded as a valid
OBJECTION. WY, sir, venture TO assert that there
ID not member Of this Association who has not
at some time been connected with some other
than republican organization, that's So" and
are we going to prescribe men for that, Has not
this Association within the last few weeks been
receiving large aceessions from the ranks Of other
political organizations We hope to be able to
control the municipal elections before long; and
how are we 10 do IL II not by receiving and well
coming those who have been associated with
other parties than our own, but who, becoming
convinced OF the error Of their way, have de-
terIniRed TO forsake the wrong and bold fast to
that which Is good ....-...
Member The gentleman's appeal is all very
we'll but why was Il not put in when member
Of this Association was expelled not long since,
for being seen marching In the ranks Of the Jack
son Democratic Association,
Mr.. Coombs.-Oh, that was after he had Joined
the Association. His backsiiding showed that he
was not sincere In joining. f. That's IL II
Mr. A. Duvaii can be allowed, Mr.. Chair
isn't often that trouble it. 1 have been a mem-
Der some tyeor six years. A candidate is opposed
here tonight, sir, because he has belonged to
some other organizations and another one has been
objected to because he at some time denounced
us as 'd-n black republicans MIR. President,
can say that there are members here tonight
good, honest, and uue-who called me d-n
black republican when j became associated, and
think none the less OF them for It, 1t has not
been four weeks since some gentlemen who are
now an e nd H, nd n,S were smSef:

one, am glad to welcome you Into our ranks; and
Il have no doubt this Is the sentiment Of every
member
MI John r Hllton--Mr President, | am not
acquainted with, nor do know anything with
reference to these gentlemen whose names have
been objected TO this evening; but, sir, Ii has been
anneqnced here that one Of them is an employee
under this administration. Now, sir, in my
opinion tss Is sufficient cause for his rejection
by republican association. lAPplause | am
reminded, SIR, that the downfall Of the American
party may be traced 10 this very cause. The fatal
policy OF admitting such persons into organiza-
nons OF different Poiltical character was clearly
evidenced In the career ana subsequent decline
Of ne American party and therefore think we
