President Dibble having taken the chair,
the following report was presented by the
committee on the conduct of the elections:
FIRST WARD.
The First Ward has two clubs, each claiming to
be the mother ward club; it appears from evidence
on file, that, at the election for officers, held
June 5, 1871, Mr. Thomas Isabelle received the
mT MiaE OF snS anS
caused himself to be elected president.
Your committee are. therefore, in favor of recog-
and A. Frilot, secretary, as the true mother club
SECOND WARD.
The Second Ward has two clubs. each of which
claims to be the mother ward club. From the evil
denee on tile. your committee have decided to re-
cognize as the true mother club that presided over
by Mr.. c. F. Glaudin.
THIRD WARD.
The Third Ward has one regular constituted
mother ward club of which Oscar J. Dunn is pre-
sident, and I. NJ kavanagh, secretary.
FOURTH WARD.
The Fourth Ward has one mother club; +. Mex.
Dunn is president, and John W. Roxborrough secre-
tary.

proven that the club presided over by MIR. J. c.
kuebler, is the regular mother club of the ward.
SIXTH WARD.
The Sixth Ward has two clubs, each of which
claim to be the mother club. From evidence pro-
dueed before the committee it is proven that the
club of which Mr.. F. P. Benedict is president, and
A. Caplo is secretary, should be recognized the
true mother ward club.
SEVENTH WARD. Fti<t
The Seventh Ward has two clubs claiming to be
mother ward clubs. From statements on file, your
committee are convinced that the club of which H.
L. Rey ia president, and w. 81. Green secretary, is
the true mother club of the ward.

The Eighth Ward has one mother club, of which
E. V. Leclere ia president, and F. Bartheemy seere
tary.

The Ninth Ward has two clubs each of which
claim to be the regular mother ward club. From

mend the recognition of the club presided over by
Mr.. w. c. Kinsela as the regular mother ward club.

The Tenth Ward has two clubs, each claiming to
be the mother club of the ward, one of which
Iahr isY liant and nna xx-fh paf 10
Payne as president. On the fifteenth day of May,
1871, the regular mother club from the last cam
paign adjourned for election of officers to the
twenty second of the same month.
Mr. Battle Payne, unauthorized by the old
mother club or any other authority, held an elee.
ton on the seventeenth day of May, and elected
officers while the regular election for officers,
cording to the call with theL regular roll of the
TenthWard, was held on the twenty second of May,
1871, when John II. Bowen was elected president
and Mr.. William Fl. Burroughs, secretary. We,
therefore, recommend that the club of which John
H. Bowen is president which meets at the corner of
Fulton and st. Mary streets, be declared the regu-
lar mother club of the Republican party in the
Tenth Ward, and that the election of delegates to
the State Republican Convention be held as adver
tised by the president of said club, at Miles School
house, Josephine street. at the intersection
of Fulton street, from P. M to P. NJ, on Monday
August 7, 1871.
ELEVENTH WARD.
The Eleventh Ward has only one organic Re-
publican club. of which Ed. Williams is president,
and John Flowers secretary. This club meets on
Sixth, between st. Patrick and st. David streets.
We recommend that this club be declared to be
the regular Republican Mother Club of the Elev-
TWELFTH WARD.
The Twelfth Ward has two clubs each of which
claims to be the mother club. After examining the
history and claims of each, we have come to the
conclusion that the club now presided over by
Paul Bruce has no claims to entitle it TO be desg
club of which D. c. woodruff is president. and
John Moyaan is secretary, is the regular Repub
hean Mother Club of the Twelfth Ward. 1t meets
Mara houa zfr,ao ctr and
mend that it be so declared and recognized by the
Parish Committee.
THIRTEEyTH WARD.
The Thirteenth Ward has only one club claiming
to be the mother club. j. B. Gandet is president,
This club meets on Valence street. between Chest
nut and Camp streets. We recommend that it be
declared the regular Republican Mother Club
of the Thirteenth Ward.
FOURTEENTH WARD.
The Fourteenth Ward has but one club claiming
dent. This club meets in Robinson's church two
squares above the Foucher property.
r1FrKESrH WARD
The Fifteenth Ward has two clubs claiming to be
the mother club. From statements and evidence
presented to US, we find that the club of which
Benjamin Buchanan is president, and G. P. Ames
is secretary is the regular mother club of the Ff
teentb Ward, and we recommend that the parish
ular Republican Mother Club of the Fifteenth Ward.
The club meets at the corner of Boniface and
Jackson streets.
In order to insure fair election in the different
wards throughout this parish for delegates to the
State Convention, your committee recommend the
adoption Of the following resolution, and earnestly
entreat all true Republicans to sustain the regular
mother clubs in their respective wards:

publican of the location of the mother ward clubs,
