1eors Agc.-A large and enthusiastic meeting
OF the Unconditional Union men OF the Fourth
W ard was held last night a. the Metropolitan
truck House, on Mass hnsetts avenue.
Mr.. Roht. w. Fenwick was called to The
chair, and Mr.. James ". Galian appointed see
retary.
The object Of the meeting was stated to be for
the purpose OF completing the arrangements
Tor the next election, and to make nomiua-
ton for the Board OF Common Council. in
place q ,Mr. Dnbant, who declined.
Mr.. Michael Larner was unanimously select
ed to NIL the Vacancy thus occasioned
On motion Of Mr.. T. g. Eckiofi, a ward exec.
ntiye committee WAS selected. The duties of
this committee being somewhat onerous, many
OF those nominated declined to serve and fin ally
the following gentlemen were selected, the
meeting refusing to accept their destinations,
viz Messrs. J. b. Wheeler, VIM. Douglas, "
T. Neil; John I. Chsuncey, Jas. Blakeney and
T. q. Clayton.
The business for which the meeting was
called having been attended to, calls were made
for Mr. Utermehle, who came forward and re-
turned his thanks for the nomination he ad
received at the hands of the Unconditional
Union men OF the ward. He was the more
gTanhed because he locked upon it as an en-.
dorsement of his past conduct. He went into
In politics, and if the people of the Fourth
Ward were satisfied with him, and he were
elected to the office for which he was nomi-
mated, he pledged himself to discharge his
whole duty, and while he would be careful of
the interests OF the Fourth Ward, he would also
endeavor to subserve the interests of the whole
city. Mr.. Utermehle, in conclusion, paid
high tribute to the industry of his coijeagnes
and their faithfulness in the discharge of duty
Mr.. Asbury Lloyd was then called for He
said he did not come here to make q speech
This was meeting called for the purpose of
making arrangements for the ensuing election
but he must be allowed to say that he was a
Dixon man. lApplause.l He had known Mr.
Dixon long while, and he would not hesitate
to give him his unqualified support. ZAP
plause.l Mr.. Douglass, too, he knows He
knew them both to be true and staunch uncon-
dllonal Union men, [applause,] and men who
were pledged to put down the rebellion. RE-
newed applause.l He would support these
men Tor two reasons-first, because they were
honest men, and, second, because they had been
tried and found capable. fApplause1 They
had served the city faithfully, and the idea Of
rotation or change in Office was not calculated
to rebound to the benefit of a city As for Mr.
Forsyth, he, too, proved himself an efficient
officer. He, too, was Union man. At the
great Union mass meeting, held few months
ago in the Capitol, Mr.. Forsyth was selected as
one Of the ce-presidents. As to his capacit
for the office Of Surveyor, all could testify that
he had performed the duties with honesty ana
energy. [Applause.1 Mr.. Lloyd also referred
in fitting terms to the fact that his colleagues of
the Fourth Ward delegation in Council were
faithful to the interests of the ward and city
and he believed them to be entitled to the SUP
port of the voters of the ward He fMr. LIeyd,
wanted to see Messrs. Dixon, Douglass and
Forsyth elected, and therefore all were urged to
go the polls and give not only a majority but
handsome one. lApplause.
MT. i. G. Clayton said there was one man on
the ticket he would vote for conditionalIy. He
would vote for Sam Douglas upon one con-
dltlon, viz: if his friends, the candidates for
Aldermen and Council, would pledge them
selves to see that Doug lass got clerk, SO that
he may be relieved OF SO great an amount of
worE: The work Is too great, and will kill Mr..
douglass unless he has an assistant. laugh.
ter and appiause.l
Mr.. James Calian made a few remarks and
referred to facts that had come under his per-
sonal observation, viz that when sick and
wounded soldiers Were brought from the
battle fields to the numerous hospitals located
in the Sixth Ward, where Mr.. Dixon resides,
the latter was ever interchangeable in his exer.
uons TO relieve their wants, and devoted his
TIME and money to their benefit. He iMr
Calian) believed that such disinterestad deyo-
ton to the interests Of the soldiers was good
test of loyalty.
The chair (EIr. Fenwick) SAID he desired to
say word relative to the coming election
Inc attempt had been made to raise a false
issue between the Administration and the
people OF Washington. Two years ago he
tdr. FenWick) had received the nomination of
the National Republican Association of this
city for Register. Mr.. Dixon at the same time
received the nomination for Collector, and was
endorsed by that Republican Association Mr..
A. Q. Richards was the vice president of that
Association, and endorsed Mr. DixoD's nomi
nation. His {Mr. D.'s) loyalty was not cues
| toned then. MIR. Douglass was at the same
election nominated for Register against the
speaker, and received the vote OF all the office
holders in Washington. To raise the cry of
disloyaltY now seems to him 1.-THE speakerl
strange and mysterious
The speaker looked upon MT Dixon as the
| true representative of Washington. TApplause |
He is known here, and the citizens will VOTE
Tor him in preference to a comparative stranger.
[Foice-"Thats so.''J Not but that Mr. Rich
aras was very good man, but Mr.. Dixon has
proved faithful the past two years. Let us,
then, make the thing clear that we are true and
loyal citizens. We should only support those
men who Were nominated by the bona fide cit
liens OF washington. [Applause and cries OF
'fhat's sol Not but that good men may come
TO this city, hut we want those to rule over us
whose hearts beat in unison with our own, and
whose souls go out after US. IApplausel
The NEE ting then adjourned.
