Evening star., 1865-02-24

In a short time the hall was packed with
citizens.
The first speaker introduced was Mr.. James
Kane, of the Fourth Ward, who spoke OF the
satisfaction the long service OF Mr.. Addison
had given, and felt assured that the citizens
would manifest it by re,electing him: Mr, H.,
after an eloquent appeal TO the citizens TO trust
the old pilot who had guided them safely
through many difficulties, which was raptu-
rousIy applauded, alluded to an article signed
Brutus," in one of the city papers, and
thought the author of it should fear TO sleep at
night lest the shade OF Brutus should appear
in his dreams ready to brand him for the defa-
nation of his name Mr.. X. then proceeded to
defend various individuals, and the Irish and
German citizens, from the charge of disloyalty,
and closed by predicting terrible fail for Mr..
Hill on Monday next.
The secretary here announced that the NOM
mating convention had agreed upon the fol-
lowing gentlemen as candidates for the Com
mon Council, which were endorsed by unan-
imops vote OF the meeting Anthony Hyde,

John M. Stake, W. H. Craig, Jenkin Thomas,
John Fowler, Jacob Hieston and John w.
Bronaugh.
Mr.. J. q. Marbury followed In a brief ad-
dress, IN which he spoke of the harmony that
prevailed in the nominating convention, and
recommending it as an example to the voters at
the election. He should vote that ticket through,
and hoped all would do so. MIR. nj. then went
into comparison OF the merits OF the candi-
dates. to show that it is impossible for Mr.. Hill
to perform the duties OF Mayor with efficiency
equal to that OF the present in cumbent Mr. NJ.
then spoke of the tricks the Union League are
reported to be preparing-Ist. The voting OF
residents; a trick they tried in Washington.
The men who enlarged the quota of the District
are now to go further and elect the Mayor and
Councils of this town I'd. The Union League
men say that the supporters Of Mcclellan who
vote for Addison shall not vote unless they
take the oath of allegiance; but the voters for
Hill Will not be required to take the oath. Mr..
NJ. saio that Hill wants the Mcclellan vote.
He applied to him (Mr. Marbury) for his infiu-
ence with the club, and spoke of the oath not
being administered to Hill voters. MIR. III. told
him that if 10000 oaths were required, he (Mr.
M would not vote for Hill.
At the close of Mr.. Marbury's remarks, three
cheers were given for Addison and the ticket
Mr. Addison was called for and appeared en-
the stand, and addressed the company briefly
in his effective sty lie, eliciting applause contin-
uous and hearty. He was glad to hear the COM
plimentary expressions Of the speakers. They
had made out "Old Addison to be good old
fellow; and their reasons were so correct he
had himself been convinced, and would en-
dorse every word they said about him. Loud
laughter and applause.
The principal qualification for Mayor is to
be able to get majority Of the votes. That
qualifc cation Mr.. Hill does not possess. II he
ever does it will be when the ancestors or the
voters present are oil forgotten. If Hill is
elected there will be two difficulties, George
Hill will want to know what the devil 10 do
do with George Hill [Great laughter. Some
people think "Old Addison" has been Mayor
long enough. He thought so himself some-
times. But until they get a better man than
George Hill ssOid Addison" will be Mayor.
Hill will be beat bad in the 1st and Sd Wards.
not SO bad in the Sd Ward, but awful bad IN
the ith Ward, and that is the result OF the ball
loting on Monday.

which were fast in the ice worked their way
down to the lower locks. The ice is still very
heavy on the upper sections and the agents of
