N street. In the absence of John A. GRAY,
president of the organization, j. l.. Thomas
was elected chairman Of the meeting, with ID.
Lewis secretary. Subsequently the club re-
solved itself into mass meeting with Mr..
Thomas as chairman, after which the platform
adopted some time since, was read. VIM. H.
Bell said the report had been in circulation that
he had declined the nomination as q candidate
for the House OF Delegates In favor OF j. j.

ing and hOoting VIM. H. Bell and Jacob j.
Elliott were placed in nomination. After the
disorder had subsidized a note was taken by

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT SPLIT DISCUSSED.
A meeting of republicans Of the 9TH dis
trict was held last night at the Quaker college,
18th street, near S-Mr. Joseph H. Jackson
presiding, and Gilbert L. Joy, secretary. The
was to prepare for the registration, which viii
take place next Wednesday. Having nominated
Col. George W. Dyer, they should register
it is charged is not known, especially by the
16th-street people, who had had things their
own way Tor some years. Probably had John
+. Cook and the attorney for the 9Th, 9Th, aud
9TH districts-Ahdrew Freeman-made the nom
nation, Col. Dyer would have been known well
enough. The laboring men outside the 10th
street crowd had made the nomination and were
him. The following we're selected as the cam
paign committee: Ohio T. Cant, John O'Brien,
Thomas Muiloy, Hugh Baggett, Robert Green,
Graham, and John Mckay. The president
called attention to the fact that they were not
fully represented in the general committee.
MI. VIM. SchOoler said that the general COM
mittee had not had many meetings recently,
but proposed to have meeting this week. This
club had elected ID. NJ. Davis to that committee,
and he was ruled out in accordance
with q resolution to admit no Greeley
man, and thus there was vacancy.
Mr.. John CrOnin was elected to I'LL the vacancy.
Mr. jackson offered a resolution endorsing the
nominations of Grant and Wilson, Gen. Chip
man and Col. Dyer; also endorsing the board Of
public works. MIR. Schcoler said th at some peo-
pie that asked who Col. Dyer Was, have com.
of those who voted for Handy's nomination, all
but ten were members Of his church. He was
glad that they (the regular republicsns) had not
allowed any particular religious sect to rule
them. All were represented-BaPtists, Cath
OlCs, Presbyterians and Methodists. HANDY
has been nominated at Bethel Hall, and some
OF the very men who had nominated him
Walker with them-say that they cannot sup
port him, for he is in favor of the board of pub
lie works. Mr.. Thomas Payne said that he had
opposed Handy when he was first nominated,
and still opposed him. His reasons were that
Handy was minister of the gospel, and got his
meat, bread, tea "a vOice-"And cigars'') from
the poor as well as the rich-S1 800 per year for
preaching, and he thought himself above some
of those poor men. "WOe to them who despise
the poor" He had been called on to accompany
committee OF laborng men to the board of
public works, and refused-thus showing that
he was against them. After further discussion
of the candidates, the resolution was adopted.
The meeting adjourned with cheers for Dyer.
