FOURTH WARD UNION FOR OFFICE MsEr
ING.-Pursuant to call, signed by Nathan
Darling, of New York, at present chief of the
Capito! Police, there was a meeting in the
Fourth Ward, assembled last night in the
Council Chamber, City Hall, for the purpose
OF nominating candidates for Alderman and
City Council On arriving at the City Hall at
about O'clock, our reporter found a party of
about seventeen men. on the steps in front Of
the building: among whom were Capt Darl-
ing, j. I. Clements, Jr., w. H. Goddard, Mr.
Chapman, and others, Of the city's floating
population. About o'clock, the party entered
the building, and organized by calling Mr. H
n. Gilbert to the chair, and appointing Mr.. W.
II. Goddard, secretary.
Mr. John I. Clemen Is, Jr., said he supposed
all knew the object of the meeting. 1t was
held In pursuance of a call published, and it
was continuation of former meeting, at
which Capt Darling presided. THE famous
afternoon meeting, held call of fifteen
minutes time, and which elected bogus dele.
gates to the Richards nominating aUonven-
ton," who were enabled, by hard running to
reach the convention in time to take part in the
proceedlngs-Rep.l He 1.-THE speaker) remem-
bered that one year ago meeting was called
at which there were present no more people
than were here to- night, and ticket was
nominated which was elected, and he belle we'd
s. ticket nominated here would be elected by a
handsome majority. The meeting was for the
purpose OF nominating suitable candidates to
represent the Ward in the City Councils
Mr.. w. @. Choate nominated Mr. George
Savage, and Capt. Darling nominated Asbury
Lloyd, for Alderman.
A stranger, whose name we understood to be
Chapman or Champion, SAID there seemed TO
be an impression that MIR. Lloyd would decline
the nomination. He (Mr. Co. was authorized
TO say that MIR. Lloyd would consent to the use
OF his name, ane. he (the speaker) believed Mr.
Lloyd could carry the ward.
Mr.. Clements said he would support Mr.
Lloyd il he would repudiate the nomin alton he
received at the other meeting
MI. Champion was authorized to say that
hr. Lloyd would repudiate that nomination.
Mf thompson urged the nomination OF Mr.
Lloyd, and said he would accept it.
MI Savage name was here Withdrawn, and
MI. Lloyd was nominated for Alderman, one
person IN the room voting against him
The following gentlemen were then nomina.
ted for the Board OF Common Council, viz
John I. Clements, if, George Savage, Com
fort S.Whittlesey, Jos. Fellansbee and Mathew
G.. Emery.
MIR. A. Duvall said his object was to nomi-
nate anti-slavery men. He would not vote for
any man who was in favor of slavery For
that reason he would not vote for MIR. Savage,
even II he were nominated. He was personal
friend OF Mr. Savage's, but he was not certain
that Mr.. ). was all right on the slavery ques.
ton.
Mr.. Choate then desired to withdraw the
name Of MIR. Savage, but the person vino had
seconded the nomination objected.
A stranger In the back part of the room, whose
name nobody seemed to know, expressed his
opposition to the nomination OF any man who
was on the other ticket. A great deal had been
said about being in bad company; and this
meeting should be careful that they did not
have the same imputation cast upon them that
was cast upon the other party. If any nominee
OF this meeting is going TO run on both tickets
he could not vote for him. The man who won Id
get into office by seeking the votes Of his oppo-
'nents was not worthy the suffrages of honest
men.
Mr.. Thompson said the meeting might rest
assured that the Fourth Ward would be con-
trolled in this election not so much nv Dartv
as by personal affairs. They would vote for
the best man. This will be found to be one of
me most doubtful wards in the city. He (the
speakeT) did not come here as Richards man,
but would vote for thu best man nominated
No test can carry the election in this ward but
that OF loyalty; and we must put forth men no.
Ioriously identified with the interests of the
ward. Mr.. Follansbee and Mr.. Savage were
not such men. Such men, however, as Emery
and Whittlesey would carry the ticket.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Choate and
Frazier tellers, and the meeting proceeded to
ballot for candidates for Council. Twenty.one
votes were polied. of which John T. Clements
received 10, George Savage s, Q. S. Whittiesey
10, JOS Follansbee 10, and nj. G.. Emery
Messrs. John T. Clements, ir, and c. S
Whittlesey were declared nominated: and
neither OF the others having received amaiority
OF the votes polled, another election was held
for the third candidate.
MIR. Clements hoped this body would nomi-
nate Mr.. Savage. He had ever stood firm, and
was a staunch Unionist in the dark DAYS when
it was dangerous TO proclaim ones loyalty
The Chair also advised the nomination Of Mr.
Savage, on the ground that the ward could no,
be carried without the Irish vote, and Mr. s
could control that vote.
The ballot resulted as follows: Savage 10.
toilansbee2, and Emery 6. Mr.. Savage was
therefore declared the nominee.
Mr.. William III. johnson was unanimously
nominated for Assessor.
w. II. Goddard, Captain Darling, and T. B.
Brown were appointed committee to inform
Sne above named candidates OF their nomination.
Adjourned.
OF the candidates nominated, Mr.. Lloyd
allowed his name to be used at meeting held
in the Fourth Ward a week ago, and was fairly
defeated for Alderman by Mr.. Utermehle. At
that meeting Mr.. L. was present while the bal
loting was going on, and subseq uently allowed
himself TO be nominated for the Common Coun-
Gil.
Mr.. J. T. Clements, jr., candidate for Coun-
Gil, claims 8 residence In Missouri
