Politics i'm the Second Ward.
Another Republican Club in the Wdrd-O Ory1at=a-
tion Of the Friends Of Free Speech.
In pursuance to a call to form Republican
Club, No. 2, in the Second Ward, quite a num-
Der of citizens assembled at Union Hall, on 18th
street, above G, last evening
MIR. q. b. Fisher called the meeting to order
and read the call, and an organization was af-
fected by selecting MIR. ID. NJ. Kelsey as Presi-
dent and Mr.. c. B. Fisher as Secretary.
MIR. Kelsey said, on taking the chair, that he
believed they had all come as Republicans, and
not for the purpose of disOrganization, but
to reorganize the party and assert the right Of
free speech, which had been assailed. Those
who assai that principle assail liberty and those
which maintained those principles. He had no
doubt that If they lived up to them they would
next June, find the great mass Of the citizens
supporting their standard bearer. He hoped
that they would have good order at this meet
ing.
for signatures.
Mr.. Joseph Brooks assistant Commissioner
Of the Second Ward) desired to say a word, with
the consent OF those present, and he would ask
the right OF free speech He came not as a
'striker," as he had been styled by the press,
nor as the exponent of any one man, but as a
Republican, true to the great principles of the
party, and as such he could not give his consent
to the formation of another club when there is
Republican club of three years. standing in
existence. He would ask whett er they intended
to break up the party-the only party which had
accorded to his race equal rights. 1t was un-
kind for handful of men to meet here and try
to split the party. He spoke as an individual a
true Republican, and would urge them not to
form a separate club.
The motion Of Mr.. Foote was adopted, and,
the book having been opened, nearly 20 names
were enrolled.
Mr.. Sinclair Burley moved that a committee
selected nrpDara

Mr. John M. Brown offered the following,
which was adopted:

Mir. Kelsey congratulated the meeting that
the hope that hereafter no more Of the disgrace

lad attended meetings Of the Republicans in
this ward and witnessed their chickering's quar-
relings, and threatenings, and hoped that he had

he could not get Brooks to agree with him by
abuse or insult.
Mr.. Brooks-"That's Just what YOU have

"Oh! ah!'' "Free speech."l
