Emery and the worktnxmes.

Respects 10 hSsoen and Cook.
a largely attended regular meeting of the
Fourth Ward workingmens Club was held at
Wallis ballast evening, Mr. j. c. Wall in the
chair and Dir. II. Barton secretary.
Mr.. Geo. W. Hstton was called on. and adj
dressed the meeting, saying from the determined
spirit Of the Emery men in that ward there was
no doubt but that they would carry il By an
overwhelming majority. He alluded 10 the
voting precincts having been changed for the
removal for such purpose to places beyond
the centre Of the ward would make all honest
/ such-determine TO secure the election OF NJ. e..
Emery. lApplause.l He was In this night TO

precincts, he would vote, and every man En-
IL Wa said TO be bad to tell tales out of school,
| but he would venture 10 tell some. There are
| men who had become scarey and chicken
hearted because during the last three days OF
| the registration the Bowenites Of this city,
Georgetown, the county, Alexandra and Prince
Georges, for twenty miles square, massed
about the City Hall, and because men were col

| nothing TO compare with that two years ago;
he hoped they would not ask him how he knew
il, for he would not tell, but he did know it.
IL was not one-third as much. He knew,
two years ago, place in which IS voters
deposited 80 ballots. Now, with their
colonization fallen on, and the white
and colored republicans split, there Is nothing
| To- prevent the election OF Mr.. Emery. The
Bowen men were adopting all kinds OF schemes
| TO put Bowen in power, and they had enlisted
on their side all the vile and desperate men this
side of Albany the Jail, and even HI itself, for
| the purpose Of keeping Bowen In. They expect
to keep him in, but will not bet on his election;
and this shows that they are bent on fraud OF
| some kind. He urged his hearers that when any
| OF them found a timid Emery man they would
take him under protection and see that he votes;
| If they massed together, determined to exercise
| their rights, they would not be attacked.

number0f coo had voted on the other side in a
few hours and the vote was counted before

action of the Emery men in the First Ward as
| noble, and expressed the opinion that there
| would be but one ward for Bowen-the Second.
de next referred to the corporation finances

enormous rate.
Alex. Patterson.-"I was offered $40 for as

me a gold watch"
Mr.. Hatton asked if it was Cooks watch, and

could rejoice in the election Of Matthew u.
Mr.. X. NJ. Hall said victory was almost within
| their grasp. There is a deep seated determina-
cubus which now rests upon it. All classes have
felt the heavy hand of Bowen upon them. The
laborers are not paid except by orders, bus
Cook s Bowen have paid themselves even for
they had hard fight with Mr.. Huntington Ii
Bowen should be elected all corporation work
must stop for they have no money TO carry it on,
and cannot get II. If Mr.. Emery Is elected the
credit of the city will rise, because the people
have confidence in him an honest man, and
know that all the money collected will be judici-
ously and honestly expended. Under Mr. Bowen
the credit of the city has been broken down and
| ruined Alfred Jones took S14 900 of corpora
ton bonds TO Alexandria the other day and sold
then for 70 cents on the dollars. He could not
sell them at all here. MIR. Bowen Overdrew the
bank account Sl91 900, and could not draw
any more. The bank officials told him he was
bankrupting the city. Ii the colored men elect
Mr.. Bowen for two years longer, the finances of
| the city will be SO demoralfzed that the next
Mayor will certainly be Democrat. The col
ored men who are with US now will be taken care
| Of; those who are against US must take care of
themselves Mr.. Hall closed by urging all to be
vfgilant and work earnestly for the election of
Matthew g: Emery. lApplause.l
Votes OF thanks were passed to the President,
Mr.. wall, and he responded in a neat speech
thanking the members for their support both in
the meetings OF the club and at the primary
election.
The meeting, which, notwithstanding the
weather, was a full one, adjourned with three
rOusing cheers for Matthew q. Emery.
