Hatton urged their passage upon the ground
that candidates for office NOWADAYS need har-
Messing up in order to keep them in the traces
IL was nothing more than Just to demand for
the eOiored people an equal share of public
pap, and Tor one he intended insisting upou
that right. MIR. j. Il. johnson. white approved
CT the intent OF the resolutions. but thought
them entirely too long and should be cut down

was one objection. however, and that was that
IN spirit here was some reflection upon the
worthy representatives from the Fourth Ward
IN the Councils. He thought them faithful and
BY debating future line of action for them
tnere might appear constructive reflection
here was no necessity OF adopting resolutions
OF instruction, for he did not think
there would be any discrimination He
offered as an amendment that thew be
referred 10 committee for the purpose of
being condensed. Mr.. Hatton opposed th-
amendment of Mr.. johnson. There had been
too much cutting down and condensing ALREADY
II was time now to teach the peopI-'s repre-
sentaIves their duty, and they should be re-
Qulred TO give pledges before hand. Some of
the men In office had not done right and we
should take care 10 make them do their duty
hereafter. Pledges We're Necessary, and be

TN Cronin (whlte) did not think the resolu-

the laborIng men should be provided for and
the corporation should cease the practice of

provision TSould be inserted in the resolutions
MAJOR Morse opposed the position assumed oy

plard In said amendments. GeOrge Shank
zap il. (cClOred,) thought the resolutions absurd
Dad ont of place. He wanted no pledges from
any man whom the Republican party might
nominate. IL was generally conceded that
Sayles J Bowen would re their ca ndidate for
Mayor. and " ho was afraid to trust that Inau!
For himself he could labor on the streets, any,
where and was not afraid of work. Office
was not his ann, like 1t was that of some
persons. Mr.. Hatton replied that he would
not trust any man for two years. and
insisted upon pledges hereafter from every
candidate. The cOlOred people had as we'll be
slaves OF individuals a. political slaves. There
were some men " no We're very anxious for Of
nee, and about election times were very aff-c-
tonate TO the colOred voters but still in the dis

lett out In the cold. He repeated that in their
. eageTness for Office. those candidates Cozened
around the Colored voters: telling them how
much they had done ter them: how they mad
been rotten egged in their defence, &c., but at
Ter We're unwilling to admit them on an eQuaii-

be stopped, and II should he the determination
hereafter on the part of the colOred people, TO
have their full rights-equal distribution of
Of'iCes-and nothing else would satisfy them
