CRY PoLITIcs.-There is dissension in the
camp of the Democracy in the Third Represen-
tattve District. Last year Samuel Josephs car
and Eleventh Divisions Of the Second Ward:
the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth
Fourth Ward; and the First and Third Divi-
sions of the Fifth Ward, by the clever majority
of257S. Such surplus of strength is, of course,
agreat promoter OF dissension; but "the noto.
rlous cattle bill" as the Unterrihed style it, is
this obnoxious measure the Hon Samuel
JoBephs, who is a candidate for re- election, is
accused OF having been a supporter, and it is
even tnslnuated that its authorship can be
traced to his fertile brain. Therefore, a portion
OF the Democracy are after the Hon. samuel
Win the Sharpest kind of stick, and they
propose TO give him an opportunity to remain
At home for the benent OF his private affairs.
Democratic citizens of the district Invited
to assemble at O'Clock this evening, at Lite
rary HAIL. on Fifth street, above South, where
they will enjoy rare and rich opportunity of
abusing the Hon Samuel, as he so merltori-
ously deserves We hope there will be large
turnout, and that the sharp stick will etfectu-
ally put the Hon. Samuel hors de con'bdt Mr..
is abundantiy qualifed to attend to the inte'
rests of the Third District In the next Legis'
This evening there will be q meeting of the
Republican voters of the Seventh Division OF
the Ninth Ward, at the house of Michael john
ston, No. 1911 Market street, when business Of
importance will be brought up for their con-
slderatlon. Addresses Will be delivered by the
Hon: Charles O'Neill and other eminent
A meeting of the Republican voters Of the
Fourteenth Ward will also be held at o'clock
this evening, and addresses will be delivered
by the Hon. Henry ID Moore, Major 70. ID.
Buckman, Captain W. j. Mackay, and others.
Let there be large and enthusiastic turnout
on this occasion.
The trouble among the Republicans of the
Twenty sixth Ward appears to have been adj
tusted to the satisfaction OF all concerned, at
last II will be remembered by our readers
that two separate conventions were held in this
ward, and two tickets placed In the field. The
ticket headed by Mr.. Robert Armstrong for
Select Council subsequently received the en-
dorsement OF the Ward Executive Committee;
but its opponents broadly insinuated that this
endorsement was secured only by vi et oTfniS,
and other unwarrantable proceedings. On
Saturday evening, however another meeting
OF the Executive Committee was held, atwhich
the following resolution unanimously pre-
vafled:-
"Resolved, That the members fths Committee de.
string harmony and unity In the party now earnestly
power to elect, the following ticket:-
For Common CounCil-George A. Shfssler, James
"School Directors-DRvid Baker, Francis Gwynn,
John Kessler George Austin"
We know not, as yet, whether this resolution
1s to stand, without another charge of fraud on
the part of Mr.. Armstrong; opponents. We
hope that such is the case and shall regard the
action OF the Committee as the final settlement
of the difficulty unless the other side is heard
from without delay. There Is no time to spare
for petty chickering's and disputes nor can we
aford TO lose the united strength of the Twenty
Sixth Ward.
It should not be forgotten that the Republican
Naturalization Committee is in daily session at
No, 4l6 Library street, from 10 to O'Clock. Tho
unnaturalized foreigners resident in the city
should remember that the approaching contest
in this State is but part of the great battle for
equality and justice which is now progressing
30 calamity all over the world, in their own
native land as well as In the country of their
adoption. Let the IN be true to their own inte-
