OF the white registered voters who were favor
able to the cause in the ward, but had not been
able as yet to get it. II they did not get that

FOURTH WARD.
A meeting of the Fourth Ward Republican
Club was held last night, in the CITY Hall T.
II. Gross man in the Chair The Chair, on
opening the meeting, announced that the spe-
clal OBJECT which called thu m together was the
election OF fifteen delegates to the Republican
Mayoralty Nominating Convention, and n in.
vitation was therefore extended to all Repub-
licans OF the ward, not members of the Club, to
participate in the deliberations. w. II. Smith,
colored, offered a resolution instructing the
CHAIR 10 appoint committee of five, whose
duty IT shall be to propose fifteen names. to be
selected as delegates TO the Convention. The
IT solution was carried, and the Chair there.
upon appointed Messrs. w. H. smith, Patrick
Crowley, w. b. Turpn, Palmer Briscoe, and
Major W. ). Morse, as said Commmlttee The
Committee retired for consultation, and short
ly after returned into the hall and reported the

mer Briscoe, Daniel Myers, Marcellus West,

each nominee separately, when the full list as
reported by the committee, was elected.
MI Cronln offered resolution instructing
the delegates to cast their votes tor Mayor in
the Nominating Convention for Mr. Sayles j.
Bowen. and 10 use all honorable means TO Sc
cure his nomination. George W. Hatton (col-
ored) opposed the introduc tion Of the resolu-
ton, and said that If 1t was adopted he should
decline acting as delegate. II he went to the
Convention he should insist upon doing SO as
tree man, untrammeled by any instructions
The meeting would pay very poor conpIi-
me- nj to their delegates by debating how they
should vote at the Con ven tion and should the
resolution be adopted he would tell them that
the vote by which they (the delegates) Were
appoint d would have TO re Reconstructed and
other persons selected who " ould submit TO be-
ing tied up hand and foet. He for one would
not be bound by any such proce edIng. Mr.
Cronin advocated the passage Of the resolution.
he himself as Tree ana lnQepen dent
as any man. and denied that there would be
any compromise of dignity by going to the Con-
vention under instructions. Mr.. Bowen was
the choice OF the Republicans Of the Fourth
Ward, and his Jealous service demanded that
such a compliment should be rendered him.
Mr.. Turpin was warm friend of Mr.. Bowen,
but deemed IL impolitic to foist any such in
ST. uctions upon the delegates to the Convention
as the resolution contemplated. Mr.. ]. Sayles
Brown thought there could be no doubt Of the
fact that Mr.. Bowen was almost the unanimous
Mayoralty, and he could not see how they could
do otherwise than support the resolution. He
could not say, however, that he endorsed the
expe diency OF introducing the resolution. Mr..
j. II. Crane offered as a substitute a resolution
declaring Mr.. Bowen as the first choice of the
Fourth Ward Republican Club for the Mayor
atty. The passage of this substitute resolution.
he thought, would remove all objections, and
and at the same time the delegates would feel
their constituents by casting their ballots for
Mr.. Bowen. Mr.. Cronin accepted the substi-
tute, and il was unanimously adopted. Brief
speeches were made by Mr.. Mckee, of Ken.
