club as we'll rs the InYlnclble club. To
night the doors were closed and no FIRE was
klndled for the comfort Of the club. II II

A discussion here ensued 10 relation 10 the
occupancy Of the hall.
Mr.. Charles syphAT proposed TO explain
the whole cause Of the existing troubles,

clle the existing difficulties In the ward. He
asked how the proposition was met I II was
rejected, and the lnylncibles voted Solidly for
its rejection. It was proposed that the
officers Of the First Ward Club should resign.
They did not intend to allow the proposition
to pass. Mr.. Himber was to resign, aud he
was the mouth-piece Of the Inyinci6les.
Mr.. Syphax said he would show that in.
stead OF Mr.. Hlmber, Mayor Bowen was the
ostenslble motive. The committee Of con.
ference had met, and had considered the
proposition, but what did II amount tot II
did not make any difference who was the
nominee.
He proposed to read the report Of tho com.

Mr.. SyphnK refused TO yield the floor
He said that the officers OF the InyincibleI
were determined TO hold on II there were nc
other members OF the dlsorganiEers except
themselves. Bowen and anti-BoWen was
the war cry. The speaker proposed 10 show
up the dlSSenters, and mentioned the names

couraglng the dlssension.
Mr.. Himber said that Mr.. syphax Ghould
be allowed to proceed, and then ether

nothing to lose In the coming campaign,
while the corporation laborers had every
thing 10 lose.

He denied that that club had any slate made
out. Mr.. Martin, the president Of the In
Yincibles, had consistently refused all noml-
nations, and when his name was brought
forward last year he politely declined. Il
was a mistaken idea that Bowen was the
"cat in the bag" By no means; that was
the trouble. Was II on the record that the
Inyinclbles were pledged for BoWenl Mol
