Thirty-two of the sixty Republican conven-
tions to be held during to-day and tonight
organized in various parts of the city at 10
o'clock this morning, for the purpose of nomi-
natipg candidates for Congress, the Judiciary,
Sheriff, Register of Wills, City Commissioner,
Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas,
Receiver of Taxes, State Legislature and City
Surveyors in the Second, Third, and Fourth
districts AS usual around all these places
were congregated mass of politicians directly
interested in the result of the meetings. 1t
would be useless to say that there was intense
excitement, the canvass which ends with the
ominations has been the most heated one that
.is taken place in the city for many years.
from dozens of candidates for each position
the number has gradually dwindled to few,
each of whom has exhausted every effort to be
the successful man. The conventions promise
to be delayed in effecting permanent organi-
zation, from the fact that there were numerous
cases of contested seats, resulting from the close
character of the vote cast last night at the dele
gate elections, in which our citizens seemed to
manifest great interest. The vote poled was
indeed heavy one, and in some of the precincts
it was found impossible to get all in. This was
particularly the case in the divisions in which
the colored voters are thickly settled. From a
few hundred votes, in some instances, the num-
Der last night swelled beyond any heretofore
cast at any regular election. 1t was the first
occasion that the colored population
have had the right of franchise,
and they all to man availed
themselves of the opportunity. They behaved
themselves orderly, and showed no disposition
to create disturbance. Their conduct on this
occasion argues quiet and peaceable day in
October next, unless they are melted to riot by
the men who do the wholesale voting
for the Democracy. However, numbers
of them manifested their interest in the result
by being among the spectators on the outside of
the halls The greatest excitement centred
around the Sheriff's Convention, at National
Hall, the Register of Wills Convention, at Wash
ington Hail. and the Second, Third, and Fourth
Congressional Conventions, especially at the
latter, upon the result of which depends the
running of an independent candidate.
Below we give full reports of the proceedings
of the City, County and Congressional Conven-
tions, and the result of the deliberations of the
conclaves in the different Legislative and Sur
yeyors' districts.

retaries be appointed, which was agreed to, and

A sharp EIectiOneering Trick.

delegates in regular order, upon which they were
furnished with tickets OF admission to the conyen-
ton during its session. Upon one side OF the tickets
were the words:-
"City Commissioner

Upon the other side was printed the following:-
"City Commissioner,
James Bain
Late Private, 19tn,
