cessary 10 refer TO the action of Senator Pome-
roy and Representative Clark, who are en-
deavoring to introduce new degradation for
our people; for they were not satisfied with

beautiful metropolis made a poor house for
Virginia and Mary land negroes, who were get

turn up their noses al that which poor white
people are glad to accept for he knew of party

now but few of those elected on the Radical
ticket TO the Common Council whose position

tic and Conservative Club was held last even. g.
ing, the President, Owen Thorn, Esq, in the
chair.
Mr.. Dennis Mcnamara asked what had he.
come OF the Vice-President, Mr.. Geo. G. Viii.
son. The special committee Of nine to canvass
the ward had not been able to meet because
they mad no presiding officer. Several members
OF the committee were at the hail last week
but could hold no meeting on account of the
absence OF the Vice President. If he could not
attend the meetings another chairman should
be elected.
Mr.. A. Gleason moved to discharge that
special committee, and appoint new commit.
Tee who would attend 10 the business. He
ted.
Mr.. McNamara said tour members of that
committee had taken some interest in their
business, and had a list of 175 names who id
not register last year but the other members
took no interest and would not work. so the
work OF canyassing was stopped.
The Chair suggested that the club name the
members OF the new committee.
MI. john Houlahan did not see the use in ap.
poinung another committee. A majority would
OF Ihe same old members, and no work would
Mr.. "A. Gleason said the Chair would have
more sense than 10 reappoint the old committee

OF the committee who did not .tend the meet
ings Were the greatest ones tor complaining

nine, TO canya the ward, be appointed; which

Mr.. Gleason moved that the appointment of
the committee be postponed until the next meet
ing; adopted.
Mr.. John Hogan moved that the executive
committee be instructed TO appeal to the other
wards, and get them to organize
Mr. j. Darby thought il very much out of
place for the executive committee of the Fourth
Ward to appeal to The other wards, when they
We're doing so little in the Fourth Ward The
example should be shown in this ward and
then ask other wards 10 organize
The Chair thought this club was doing some
good. An appeal could be made TO the other
wards, and, Il they would organize. central
association could be formed.
Mr. Michael Connell sss.1. the ward had been
canyassed, and II was known how many voter.
there were in the ward. He thought that was
working IN the right direction, and now
efforts should be made 10 get every ward in tbs,
city organized.
MIR. A. Gleason inquired what had become
Of the public speakers who We're TO be in vited.
Mr. Connell said there We're gentlemen out
side of the club who were doing more for the
club than those in il.
MIR. Mcnamara thought there was no neces-
sity for speakers the club could speak for
itself
The motion of Mr.. Hogan 10 request the wards
10 organize was adopted. -
The Chair suggested that the Executive Com
mittee meet and draw up short circular to
be transmitted to the other wards requesting
them 10 organie.

new charter before the next meeting, and he
suggested that the club meet the night after a
