a meeting Of the republican club of the tenth
district was held last night at Germania Hall
llIh street; j. 4. Jenifer in the lair, who stated
that they had been Gale to elect three delegates
10 the central committee, and he was PLAID to see
from The faces present that they were men be-
longing to the district, and not a crowd of men
nom other districts. He cOunselled harmony.
Mr.. LeBarEes said he desired, before any
action was taken, to read a written protest
against tie action proposed by this meeting.
DR.. Bliss objected 10 his reading it. Ii was
well known that LeBarnes' action at the last
meeting was calculated TO stifie the republican
party IeBsrnes had pretended to organize a
club, ana had ignored the usual manner of fair
dealing among republicans. He was unworthy
OF the confidence OF the club, and they should
not listen TO his protest.
After some debate, the Doctor withdrew his
objections, and De Barnes was allowed to read
his paper. He protested against the call which
had been made as illegal, not authorized, and
therefore fraudulent; that JeDifer was not
president; that at the meeting at Wills church
the other night the delegates had been chosen
in a legal way, and are the only men who will be
admitted to the central committee.
After the reading, some debate took place on
the rropriety of receiving the paper, and Mr..
Burke moved that ii be laid on the table, which
was carried by an almost unanimous vote.
DR.. Bliss moved that they proceed to the cleo
ton OF delegates; carried, and ID. W. Bliss, John
Wallace and j. A. Jenifer were elected.
Or motion, the club proceeded to the election
OF officers for the ensuing year, which resulted
as follow. ID. \. Jenifer, president; James
Hudson, vice president; Lewis Clephane, treas
urer; j. Madison, secretary; q. Mason, assistant
secretary; +. Curtin, j. Il. Davidson, III. NJ.
Morton, F. Burke, John Wallace, Adam Geib
and 5. Huntress, executive committee.
The club then adjourned, subject to the call
Of the executive committee.
