were MOTTO be denounced nor ignored. Cheers
were then given for Richards and Bowen.
Doctor Green was then introduced, and

Matthew G. Emery their Choice for Mayor.
The Third Ward Reform Republican Club
met last evening at Wills Hall, on 18th street,
the President, A. H. Kinney, in the chair, and
A series Of resolutions was offered BY MI. l..
G. Jones, setting ferth that the club by its or
ganization and constitution has already stamped
with condemnation and disapproval the official
conduct of Sayles j. Bowen, the ought-t0 be
Republican Mayor OF Washington, who, by his
corrupt administration Of municipal affairs, has
brought discredit upon the party that elected
him as its standard-bearer, thereby FORGETTING
the confidence and esteem OF all xue-hearted
Republicans who in sorrow and bitterness mourn
the Judas in their midst" and declaring:
That a. men disca riding the old Democratic dog a
ma Of party right or wrong, we cannot affiliate with
ruption that has 90 stismatsed Us before the com
mnnty. and, believing in the righteousness of
butter traitor OF our party. That to Matthew G.

Mr.. Chas. Cunningham spoke of 1.-the fraud
and corruption of the present corporate authori
ties" and said that the Republican party Of this
District must be reconstructed He wished they
could have BENJAMIN r. Butler, but as thew
could NOT, he thought the next best man was

Mr.. n. H. Miller thought there was no doubt
about Dispensing Bowen & Co. on the LIST Mon
day Of june next He does not object to any man
putting forward his favorite ,buthe proposed tina
this association should not endorse any man and
put him forward a. q candidate, as this was not
nominating l u convention:
endorse candidates. He believed the custom was
inaugurated by VIM. A. Cook. =
At. Miller thought if Cook originated it, 1t
should be dropped immediately, ~ nothing good
ever originated with him. He had nothing t.
say against Mr.. Emery, and would probably
support him, but he thought there were many
and would probably make as good Mayor as
he. If the resolution should be adopted, the
club would be committed to Mr.. Emery. He
no i'll feeling would be engendered now among
the Reform Republicans by an attempt to push
any man forward at this early day. He believed
easd A. sSsS % mas kdeS He be
ieved Lewis Clephane was q good man. APP
plause.1 If Emery should be endorsed tonight
hundreds OF men would be driven away from
the Reform Republican movement. Cook &
Bowen had gone into the newspaper business
and given 81 900 to this paper recently started
as their organ, and he learned it was their in
tputlOu a German
Z. l.. Bart Moved that speeches on the subject
be limited TO ten minutes
Mr.. A. III. Kinney Mr.. Miller in the chair
thought it was nothing unusual to endorse
man for the position OF mayor. Towns, coun-
ties, and States made their recommendations
There could be no reform worked without taking
a decided stand. III his object was to be an
alderman or councilman, he would talk as Mr.
Miller had, and try to learn how public opinion
was going. 1t was tr1ckery and subtlety to pre-
sent to this club the statement that ward cipbs
never declared their preference. 1t was false
and the gentleman who made the statement
Ont. Miller knew it was false.
MI. Miller called the gentleman to order As
he was personal in hisTemarks.
Mr.. Kinney said some men had already sold
ont. Mr.. Kelsey, of the Second Ward, had sold
out body and soul to Major Richards, and Others
would follow him. Unless the best portions OF
the citizens OF this community would come for
ward, and voted for the Republican Reform
candidate, the ticket would not be successful
Gratis would vote for. He had but little personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Emery, but he knew he
had all the honesty and acceptable qualities
to be found in any one man. The gentleman
(Mr. Miller) counseled unity, when ne was the
: only man who had differed With the club in the
nomination OF Matthew G. Emery. He wanted
the Reform Republicans to stand square upon
the record. Referring to Major Richards. he
said it was no use to talk Of a man 50 indebted
to policemen ard detectives that he could not
act honest IL be would. W., 90
The resolutions indorsing Mr.. Emery were
then adoFted with but one or two dissenting
voices. iF '.s 7..t
