sixth Ward Republieau tlub.

The regular meeting of this club was held
last evening, the President, Charles Champion,
in the chair. "red-hot" time seemed to be
promised from the jump, as after the reading of
portion where it is stated that "E. 5. Atkinson.
of the Fifth Ward addressed the meeting ami
received a vote of thanks" ami moved that
those words be stricken out.
Mike Sinner and Others-.'I object
Mr. Gaines motion was almost unanimously
carried.
On motion of Miles Sweeney, the ten-minute
rule on speech making was adopted, whereupon
Mike Sinner called for the reading of the Con-
stitufion, which was done, Mike interspersiny
the same with .'Dat's one wrinkle;'' Oats an
other wrinke," and so on. He then denounced
this meeting as having been packed by Gaines,
Simms, and company, and that they had brought
the whole Marine 'cOrpse" to the meeting.
Thomas Ross offered the following:
"Rssoired, As there is an organized body forming
IN the ward with an intention TO he in direct opposi
members Of the original club condemn tn. acton IF
the leaders Of that party in organizing the said club
lead tbose that may misunderstood its Intention
Mr.. Gaines asked the mover of the resolution
to explain himself.
Councilman Simms explained his course in
the Common Council and said that although he
had been severely criticized by the club, he did
not and wonld OF belong to any club in opposi-
ton to the Sixth Ward Republican Club. they
could send him back to the Councils or not, Just
as they pleased lie did not ask them to send
him before, and he wouldn't do so now
Mike Sinner and his son ike said they heard
1t was society organized as the WOrkingmen's
Club for the benefit OF the leaders thereof and
any member Of this club who was connected
with the concern should be expelled.
Councilman Simms again explained that with
out giving mp one iOta Of his Republicanism, he
would never again vote for the man now in
power as Mayor. The main charge against him
(Simms) was that he had insulted the Mayor;
and how? Simply by asking him for the money
which was due to the wOrkingmen Of the Sixth
Ward.
The resolution was laid ON the tah,e

(Which was laid Over) censuring Henry Better
for for having at the last meeting offered resolu
Mr.. Carey White here obtained the floor and
consumed ten minutes in some disconnected
remarks, during which he was frequently inter-
rupted with all sorts Of questions BY those
present.
Mr.. Gaines offered resolution inviting George
Hatton and VIM. Brown to address the meeting
which met with violent opposition from Mike
Sinner, who said " If necessary he would bring
the whole ward to oppose il. He would travel
night and day and bring men up to vote it
down." Several members stated that Messrs
HattOn and Brown had just much right to
speak here as MIR. Atkinson. They were Kepub-
licans, and that was enough. The resolution
was passed.

address the next meeting didn't take, and was
withdrawn; after which the meeting adjourned.
