A meeting Of this Club was held last evening;
Mr. ID. E. Cahill in the chair, and Mr.. Corne
iius Ryan, Secretary pro TEN. i5E
The Chair called attention 10 notice for a
meeting Tomorrow (this) evening, at Bouldinis
Church, from which 1t would appear that there
was an attempt I'd form another club He he
lieved there was but one club of Irish Republi-
cans in the ward, and IL was not right and proper
to form any other such clubs in the ward. II
would also appear, from the notice signed by
Charles Curtain, that on the roll of this club
there were some renegades. He suggested that
some action be taken.
Mr.. P. Hourhan thought that the more clubs
the better II would be, for it would take devil
Of q big club for the Irish Republicans of the
Fourth Ward. az. 1854
A conversation ensued as to who were in the
club, (called to meet at Bouldins Church.
Emery men, or men who favored Alderman
Emery for Mayor.
Mr.: Hourihan.-" There are Emery men
here" 40 T -
The Chair fare YOU one?~ ..#
Mr.. HOurihan.-'. That's for me to know, and
NOT ior you: A man Is fool now II he does not
belong TO all sides.n
Mr.. g. Ryan said that those attempting to
organize at Bouldin's Church were doing all thew
could TO break up this, the regular club, and he
did not think that 1t would be W.T. ong for this
club to meet and proceed to Bouldln's Church
in body, and then vote down their attempts to
organize. He therefore made motion to that
effect. .I -
Mr.. CarmOdy said they were near enough to
for the members of the club to act in the man
ner proposed. There were not more than
bakers dozen OF them, all told, at BOuldin's,
and they would soon play out.
Mr.. Hourihan said they 1.-THE Emery mem had
as much right to form clubs az any others.
Mr.. Ryan said the men engaged I'm this move
ment were endeavoring to mislead members of
this club, and we're composed Of parties who in

ers." -- 81 = .HH .'-0
The Char asked Mr.. Ryan to name the disap-
MIR. Ryan replied by giving the name If Mr.
Chas. Curtain.
Mr.. A. Gleason did not believe that the par
ties at Bouidin's church should be bothered for
they were not now Republicans, but they were
Democrats, and only give them rope enough
and they would hang themselves.
MI. Hourihan remarked that there we're as
many men of that way Of thinking as there were
of this, and he had seen about 30 men at the
first meeting in BOuldin's church.
Mr.. Ryan replied that many OF those at that
meeting were misled, and had signed their
names without duly considering what they were
doing.
Mr.. Gleason again urged that these parties
should not be bothered. They had a right to 20
ahead If they thought proper, and they would
play out If they were not interfered with.
The motion of Mr.. Ryan was lost
Mr.. r. Hourihan.-" That's right; for every

get us out 2"
Mr.. DOnegan, chairma, of the special COM
mlttee appointed to investigate the actions of
certain dsaffected members of the club, re-
ported that he had seen Mr.. Costello and Mr.

this club: He would say thatIf there were any
who desired to go with this crowd, let them
This. the original club, would be the only one
tee soon to be formed. He requested that fur
agreed to.
Mr.. Ryan said that some of the members did
not think that the present hall was q proper
meeting place, and moved that the Committee
on Hall secure another place Of meeting. The
question was put and decided to be carried.
