Mr.. HALLS REMARKS.
Mr.. II. A. Hall requested the attention Of she
convention for few minutes, until they calm
at what had BEEN done and what Was e be- doSe
He desired to call their attention TO state Of
things which many of them had known for
veks, and he might say for months. He had
noticed for months that it was the deter nina
ton OF the Mayor Of this city, surrounded by q
few satellites, TO renominate him and disrupt the
Republican party. He referred to his course In
the Councils, and said that having been elected
by the Republican party he deemed it his duty
TO support that party, but now Mayor Bowen
He saw that Bowen was not the choice Of even
% and 0 tsdy cs sf Of so the sss %
before last Morse, Cook s. Co. saw that Bowen
would lose the nomination, for instance, in the
Fifth Ward, and they packed the meetings and
nominated delegaiss by acclamation, and
clear out, not daring to wait for the primary
convention. The regular Republican Club OF
me Fourth Ward was not represented in the
convention that met i'm Union League Hail this
morning. He wondered that the Fourth Ward
Republican Club did not ell, Il more than a.
teen delegates. Laughter He then reaerred
Third and Fourth Wards, and charged that
they voted handfuis of tickets at a time, and
that by corporation officers. He WIS opros- I
voted the Republican ticket from a voice
IN city affairs. Can the Republican party
stand such assaults? lCries of :. Not" ''No.''l
lie then referred to the Sixth Ward, and told
how they got together at midnight and upset
the agreement made previously with the chair
man OF the regular Sixth Ward Club. He did
Ike to see the Corporation laborers going up
and voting their regular sentiments, but ted
70 see them whipped up to the polls to vote for
a man for whose nomination they were to be
taxed. Now for the Seventh Ward. Look al
things there. The meeting was presided over
by Collector Boswell, whose Republicanism
could not be doubted. The Bowen faction met
,bsa an corner OF the street. and IS of
IL
mitted that the nominations made by Mr. R,s-
Mell's meeting were fairly conducted, because
they couldn't deny it. He then called attention
under which the convention met, and with
that there was a little his ,ry connect ed. Read
ing the same, he said thai tie call, in the first
place, was headed with the name o. Isailh
Bouldin; but the nc xt T orriug that M ne was
out and the name Of Garter A. Stewart substi-
tuted- He thought MIR. 81 ,wart was an honor
able man. (Csies of "a Not politicallyDl The
whole amount of the thing was that robody

now? Who were they? [Cries of Peter
Mack."l Yes, Peter Mack; and there Is some
thing connected with Peter Mack's contract
that is tyo mean to tell here. Now, If the Re-
Mayor Bowen let them say so. Tremendous
cries of " No." " No, %" We won't have it.ul
Isaiah Bouldin, from the Committee on Gre
dentials, reported that on account of the inform
egates, the Committee would recommend that
that delegation be admitted to seats on the
noor without participating In the convention or
right to vote. The report was adopted.
Mr.. KELSEY FOR EITHER RICHARDS OR EMERY.
Mr. ID. NJ. Kelsey thought this convention
party Of the city Of Washington, and by virtue
of the call of the Central Committee He coun-
selled them to be calm, orderly, and quiet. He
for one had been oppo sed to Bowen, and was
posed to Bowen. The Union League Hall crowd
we're the bolters. He knew A. e. Richards
would carry the field two to one against Bowen
He knew that A. e. Richards was an honest
man, capable man, and above all . gentle
one. Yet he for one considered the situation;
he made no propositions now. Bowen weuld
receive the nomination Of the Bowenites Who
uolted. Another gentleman was in the field
who was good Republican; an honest, respect
