THE WARD MEETINGS OF TUES.
DAY EVENING.

1t will be seen by the reports furnished the
REPUBLICAN by its corps Of faithful and cor
rect reporters, that all the proceedings in the
Republican ward caucusses of Tuesday even
ing were not so well conducted and har-
monIous as they ought to have been. There
is nothing after all very strange In this, as
excited men are quite likely to do many fool
ish and unwise things, no matter what may
give rise to the excitement under which they
labor. There may, or there may not be, oc-
casion for the excitement. It matters not
what may have produced 1t. When passion
is up the wit and good sense Is out, and a
tempest in teapot is as much q tempest as
one that partakes Of wider dimensions and
broader range.
We have seen great rows in ward meet.
ings before, and We have seen similar scenes
in Congress and among men of much larger
cdliJrc, and among men too, protesting much
dignity and good sense. 1t Is an old saying
that troubles will arise In the best regulated
families, and certainly the Republican party
of the city of Washington cannot plead any
exemption in this particular. 1t is liable to
bAO "AASh bc'Niho NAAAhHAy
der ordinary circumstances. Our system of
caucusslng Is faulty in several particulars.
The true method of selecting candidates
for any office should be by ballot; and especl-
ally when there are crowds, as is the case now
in Washington, should the ballot be the mode
of selecting in every case. Men 60 into a
convention TO select candidates or perad-
venture delegates to do a specific work, and II
the methods Of choice be by the uplfted hand,
by rising to their feet or vivd Uoes, IL can in
no case be as fair, and most men will feel
that they are cheated or are likely 10 be
cheated, and hence will very naturally feel
that they may be dcfrauded and not get their
iayOrite candidates, and hence, also, they
become excited. This appears TO have been
the case with some Of the voters In the
caucus on Tuesday evening, and their repre-
honsiblG conduct was the inevitable result
and tendency of the system adopted for the
selection of candidates. 1t will be so IN any
party as long as these questionable and I'M
satisfactory methods are pursued.
We shall lose nothing, however, by these
cbullitlons; the party will arise in its strength,
and thoroughly united will go to the polls
and will win a splendid victory on June 7.
