The Chair "a. Grant) remarked that he had
stood upon the platform, and saw Cook, the
Attorney, and every Ward Com

1t snch men as W. A. Cook and Joe Williams
This same Cook is the presiding officer OF the
club at Republican organization, and he was a
good specimen to undertake the breaking up Of
q Republican meeting. The speaker referred to
the splendid reception the Boys in Blne had re-
ceived at the hands of President Grant and Vice
President Colfax.
Mr.. W. II. Huestis said it appeared to him
there were but two roads To travel. III they
continued the old Republican organization it
would lead them to ruin If they attempted to
reorganiZe, Bowen would oppose them with his
whole retInue Of Ofice holders. He alluded to
the many improvements which had been made
simply to make votes for Bowen, without being
of use or benefit to anybody under the sun. By
their uniting with the Conservatives, who were
conscious Of their own weakness. they could elect
their man. What had he (the Mayor done with
the Sl9 600 appropriated by Congress to The poor
of this city? The other way vas for them to
organize under territorial government. Mr..
Boswell said there was no Republicanism in
any man who advocated q territorial govern
ment in this city. MIR. Huestis said the pro-
gTamme would be the same old one-tO put 5000
men at work on the Corporation work Just be-
fore the first of June.
Mr.. Tucker said he believed this was a free
government. Do We belong to Bowen, Himber
or any other OF the City Hall ring? He was op-
posed to giving up our present for a Territorial
form OF government; but fight their difficulties
in our present organization. He believed they
were dirty set, but he advised them to fight in
their present organization.
Hr. Boswell said he opposed the second reso
luton on the ground that il would be fatal to
their interests to reorganize the party, as il
would bring defeat. They would be taking
an elephant by the snOut to make this attempt.
The only way to remedy their evils was to unite
together and make reform. When men talked
about reorganizlng the party they did not know
the people, and to say that one man could carry
the election by setting four thousand laborers
to work on the streets was simply ridiculous.
He knew the people better. No living man
could control this city by four thousand laboring
men. III our opponents were not satisfied with
ant c< la
and elect better men to rule, if they car.
Mr.. A. Watson said the meeting the city
authorities had attempted to break up was not
Intended to reorganize the party, but to reform
the existing state Of evils they were living under,
and the City Hall men had boasted that they
had made two thOussnd votes by their action
the other night.
On theE order, and thought it a great improve
ment on that OF two weeks ago. He was sorry
to say that the President Of the COuncil-from
his own vard-had Seen Git TO occupy the chair
belonging TO another meeting, and had appoint
ed sergeant-at-arms To aid him in his unlawful
vcrk ON the occasion. The executive officer of
the corporation was no doubt aware of their
acts. 1t had been published to the world by the
city press, and il was the duty o. the Mayor To
have put stop to a repetition of tho act; but it
B had passed over his notice. and he held that he
was not fit to hold the Offs OF chief executive
The r-SoiutiOns were then adopted scrio.ipt
and the meeting adjourned.
