for the meeting, or by what authority Ii was
made; but when, in times like the present. so
msnY voters Of the Seventh Ward bad assembled,
he was opposed to allowing the moment TO pass
without an expression OF views. He therefore
proposed Mr. Charles C. Anderson chairman,
who was elected. DR.. Fenwick was appointed
secretary.
Mr Anderson, on taking the chair. stated that
he came there simply as voting participant aud
had not desired this position. He desired some
ore who knew, TO state the object Of the meeting.
Mr.. Lloyd presumed the caller was absent, but
he knew the object Of the meeting. His mind
was made up az to the course he should pursue.
The views be expressed two years ago were the
views of to-day. He had no desire 81 change.
BE was opposed 90 the Introduction and mixing
up Of national politics In municipal affairs. He
would support the Union and the Constitution.
The Union men were the men to elevate. Those
who would Introduce party politics at this time
are not patriots. The object Of the meeting. in
nominations. should be to ignore party, and hnd
the trucst men He knew not what SCI emes some
IN attendance might have to accomplish, but
these were his heartfelt convictions In regard to
municipal measures. His own feelings were
well known. He believed the present incumbent
was the httest person for the mayoralty; he was
one Of our oldest and most respectable citizens,
ard well known In the community. he understood
the duties of the position; had during his incum-
bency, had strict eye to the Union, the Consti-
tuition, end the enforcement Of the laws he had

Mr. r Elvans said he would ask question,
and begged to have II answered He had attended
meeting Of Republicans at this Hall on Tuesday
night. He had seen two calls In the Star for this
meeting. IL the first advertisement, prescribing
Republicans, was to prevail, neither be nor bis
friends could or would participate. IL, however,
the last call inviting all Union men, was the one
under which they would act, he considered him.
self one Of the meeting, and would participate.
The Chair knew nothing Of either Of the calls
but 1t was the last one brought Ann out. lie was
no party man now-party n ust be put aside.
Mr.. Elvsns thought that. 10 enable all to take
part, platform Of principles should be adopted
80 that be and his friends might know what con-
stituted an unconditional Unian man.
Mr. Lloyd said he should have attended on
Tuesday night, but for the phraseology Of the
Call- He was not 4 Republican, but be did not
hesitate 10 say that all the energies Of the Govern
ment should be given to the prosecution of the
war. he did not, and could not endorse all that
President Lincoln had done, nor was he prepared
to bllndly endorse what might be done In the
future. He would therefore have been an inter-
lOper, bad he attended the meeting Of Tuesday.
All whs would preserve TO every man the guar
antees Of the Constitution, had right to partici-
pate in this meeting. IL Mr. ElvaDs would throw
party aside, and would have eve singly To the
restoration Of the Government, In It's Integrity,
then he had right to participate But IL Il was
10 him (Mr. E.) and his friends that they had no
business here.
M r. Bacon wanted the last speaker to say
what he meant by Ignoring party. The call Of
Tuesday invited al. The resolutions adopted on
Tuesday night savored not Of repu blicsnism, and
no man could except to the sentiments therein
contained.
