the distribution of tickets, reported tha. the
arrange ments will be completed on Sunday
next, for distribution of tickets.
Dr. Boyd hoped the committee will see the
necessity OF Promptness and caution fin their
distribution Of tickets.
DIR. Boyd moved that the money be placed in
the hands Of Mr. Manning, subject to the order
OF the chairman OF the committee on the ratifi- :
eaton meeting; agreed to.
Mr.. Watson offered a resolution "That all
Republican candidates, and these elected in
GEORGETOWN, shall constitute District Com
mittee on Appointments, to inquire into the
loyalty Of persons employed at the Govern
nal Re ven ne, the City Post once, the Smith.
sonian institute, the Public Buildings aud
Gronpds and the Washington Aqueduct; and
the result OF such inquiry TO the loyal press Of
the city at as early day rs convenient; and
also to report to Congress at its next session.
And We request every ward club In the city
to adopt this resolution
Mr.. Watson re reViewed the resolution and
gave his reason for 1t. The Republicans in
the District have been wronged, not by their
enemies, because they have not the power, but
stitutions named in the resolution, and alleged
that the Republicans have not received the
portion TO which they are entitled and re-
ferfed to the Quartermaster's Department,
and the courthouse ana court. The lack of
heart In the Republicans is the primary cause
OF much of this unfair distribution OF the
benefits OF these Institutions, In which dis.
loyal men hold places which should be occu.
pied by Republicans.

solution. and in a brief address endorsed

probability that In some places the leading
position is held by compromise with copper

voters Of the ward to begin on Monday and
clean out the city.

his 800 per month he will do Justice.
Rev. Mr.. Bowen (colored) spoke Of the con-
servative meetlng where he had been, and had
