Hall last evening:
"At,entio., TA,,d wa,d!--There will be a
meeting Of the Unconditional Union voters OF the
Third Ward, irrespective Of old party lines,l al
Temperance Hall, on Tuesday evening, May 9th,
at TX O'Clock. Prompt attendance Is desired
Mr.. J. F. wollard was called to the chair, but
ascilnsd and c,led on Mr. 400 Arsu, pre-
The Chair read the call for the meeting, and
stated that 1t was open for the transaction OF busi-
ness.
MI J. P HodgsOn offered the following resc-
Rtyo,rsx, That we fully and cordially endorse
the acts Of the present Administration In the
policy adopted by them for the suppression OF
the rebellion, and for the maintenance OF the
Union; that we approve Of the course Of the
Executive In showing himself independent OF
mere party control, and In his recommending to
Congress such measures as he believed were Tor
the benefit Of the whole country, and for all
parties.
Rs,olr.d, That In our present Mayor, Hon.
Richard Wallach, we recognize an uncompro-
who has devoted his time, talents, and energies
20 promote the interests and welfare Of the city
Of Washington; and while congratulating our
felIow-c citizens upon the occupancy Of the eIecu-
tive chair by this sterling patriot, we hereby
nominate him for reelection, and pledge our
selves to use every honorable means to secure so
desirable an end.
Mr.. wollard hoped that the meeting would
pursue the old course, and elect delegates 70 q
convention; and stated that the course pursued In
the several wards was giving great dissatisfaction
among their own friends and II the present course
was continued he thought that another candidate
Of the same party as the present incumbent would
be nominated.
Mr.. Hodgson did not see the use Of the Third
Ward starting the movement 70 hold conven:
ton when nearly all the other wards had expressed
their sentiments.
Mr. wollard said the Third Ward had fire.
quently led of the convention before, and they

they were now pursuing. He did not think 1t
proper for the meeting to peak for the people OF
the ward, and Ii was impossible for such a anna II
meeting to select the mayor. The delegates could
be elected TO q convention, and by the time 1t as
sembled they would know the views Of the peo-
pie.
Mr. Shepherd replied, that Mr.. wallsch had
never been nominated in convention, but had run
upon his own merits. He viewed conventions as
humbugs, and stated that In most cases they were
packed. The free voice Of the people, untram-
meled by the influences Of a convention, was all
that was wanted.
Mr. Wollard stated that It was true that Mr..
Wallach had never received the nomination OF a
convention, but he had never been elected by the
people.
Mr. Shepherd said that Mr. walIach had been
elected fairly and squarely at the last election by
the people, but he was cheated out Of II. Zap
plause.l
The resolutions were then adopted.
Mr.. HodgsOn offered the following resolution ::

Of the Third Ward Irrespective Of all past polit-
ical associations, In convention assembled, do
