The Independent Ticket in the Fifteenth Ward
Mass Meetings, Conventions, Etc.
Last evening there was a very large meeting of
the Republican citizens of the Fifteenth ward, who
were favorable to running an independent ward
ticket, held in the Mission House on Brandywine
street, above Fifteenth. Dr. James M. Harris pre-
sided and Mr. John r. Senior acted as Secretary
After the objects for which the meeting called
had been stated by Thomas w. Price, Esq, motion
made by Thomas Carson, Esq, that it was eX-
pedient to nominate an independent citizens ward
and Assembly ticket. This was debated at length,
and several interesting statements were made by the
gentlemen present. Mr. Price gave long history Of
the of Dr.. Burnell, the candidate for Select
Council, from which he drew the deduction that
Burnell had not joined the Republican party from
any patriotic motives as during the Rebellion his
Comprehension was remarkable. The objection to
Thomas II. Glenn, the candidate for Common Coun-
Gil was that he was not in condition, pecuniarily,
to be able to devote the time that would
be actually necessary to the duties that would
be required. AS TO Colonel Davis the speaker did not
believe he could be elected, and had prior to the
nomination advised Colonel Davis TO with
draw from the canvass. At this point a gentleman
arose. and said that he was opposed to both Messrs.
Burnell and Glenn, yet from canvass he had made
of three precincts he did not deem it advisable to
run an independent candidate for the Legislature.
Being called on for che facts, the speaker said that
he had found that IN the First precinct but Repub-
licans objected to Colonel Davis, while II opposed
| Dr. Burne In the Second precinct were opposed
TO Davis and 80 to Burnel and in the Third precinct
| said he came from Twentieth and Parrish Streets
| where Mr.. Davis was decidedly unpopular Several
of the citizens then stated that they could vote for
| Colonel Davis, but that they could nor would not
support either DR.. Burne or Mr.. Glenn. Some
other speakers believed tat colonel DAVIS would not
| stand in the way Of the success OF the party
and others asserted thai he would not
| withdraw under any consideration. Finally,
| a motion was carried TO proceed TO nominate
| candidates for Select and Common Councils and for
| the Assembly. For the first position Benjamin f..
Glenn, ESQ.,, was selected and for the second Chas
ID. Supplee, ESQ.,, was named. When the subject OF
the Assembly candidate was taken up, Mr.. Price said
| he hoped that some OF tine gentlemen who had so
| violently opposed Colonel Davis would name good
| substitute. After waiting few minutes a gentle
man moved TO postpone that nomination indefinitely.
N Opl Ia
marked, "Until November" The motion to postpone
was carried by clever majority
The Camden County Republican Convention

Will be held in the evening" which is to be addressed
by Hon Frederick Il, Frcllnghuysen, and others For
Senator Edward BEETLE seems to have the inside
| track.
The chances are that Messrs Hong, Stokes anC
| Davis are the only old members Of the Legislature
who VIII have opponents from the same side OF the
| house. The feeling against them is becoming NOR,
bitter, as they are not believed to possess tht
necessary requirements to qualify them for tn,
| position.
