the char, and Mr.. Frank Sitt acted as secre-
fary.
MIR. T. G. Clayton moved the appointment Of
committee Of five to select suitable candi-
dates, and report the same to the meeting for
ratification

Inent of a committee on nominations. He was
IN favor of calling upon candidates through

he did not see the necessity of this meeting
nominating candidates. He didn't care how
many candidates were placed in the field, for
ne would nominate his own and vote for the
best man.

candidates, and was decided to have been
voted down.

cries OF ''no, no." ''go into nomination." &c.

voted down.
HIr T G. Clayton advanced to the speakers
platform, and remarked that he thought this
was to be meeting Of the citizens of the Fourth
Ward to nominate candidates, and that all
party prejudices had been thrown aside. He
thought an opportunity would be afforded all
to express their preference, but it was evident
that the meeting was forestalled, as tickets had
been prepared and passed around. Mr.. O. then
proceeded to read a printed ticket, and when
he had concluded motion was made to adopt

throat. He would tell the gentleman that it
would not do, as he could get enough to sweep
the ticket out of existence. He did not oppose
the gentlemen named, but the modus operdndi OF
presenting them.
Mr. B. F. Hurley thought the meeting a
Legitimate one, but was opposed to all FORE
stallIng. He would vote for Asbury Lloyd;
was in favor of nominating ticket opposed to
all cliQues, and would not vote for any man
