Ths Mr. Donncy lad also considered, and
WRutod tho meeting to hear hi6 resolution,
Which was III follows:
Aesolued That tho mcnbcrs Of this Committee md
citizens favorable to tho present 1nWand-ordcr move
Al oy would like TO support tue ensuing city and
county electioH, aud TINT tho names of NIL such
no referred without debate to e Committee On Eec
md that MI resolutions expressive OF Ruch measures
bo referred without dubate to the Executive Commit
tne, for them to consider tho and report thereon
at 4 subsequent meeting OF this Committee but no
nominations 10 bo made by said Committee.
Senator Woodard thought this premature. Tho
system of interviewing men on tho evo Of cleo
tion was u farce, Bnare, o delusion, aud .
fraud. Tho men put forward by the law-anl-
order movement, must be such mon as neod-
ed no interviewing.
a mombor from tile Seventeenth Ward, MIR:
John Sullivan, Baid tho backbone and suow Of
tho law-nud-order party would bo tho Irish, and
these men insistea upon havlng voice in the
nomination Of mon otherwise tho party would
bo badly whipped.
meaning Of tho lnw-ani- order movement WAS tho
utter annihilatlon Of tho infamous CAUCUS syB-
tenn. .........
of tue resolution to make tho Executive Commit
toe tho Nominating Committee, it was, to say tho
least, premature. This Committee Of Seventy
was, for MI that might be said to tho contrary, d
good deal OF It solf-appointod affair. 10 waB not
m advocate Of tho caucus systen, but the causo
Of jts failure was rather tho absence from tho
caucus Of those very mon who Wero Interested in
tho law-and-oraer rmoyoment:, 1t would be batter
10 consult tho Ward Comnittoes: Ho did not
wish to llavo 1t thought that the Committee had
their nominations ready. For his part ho ould
not bring himself to believe that the wisdom OF
ages waH conferred necessari'yin tho Committee Of
Seventy.
Mr.. KoIy ropudiated the idea that the Com
nttoo was sel}-appoiutol It WIS appointed by
o aHB-rnoeting.
Mr.. john Sullivan, from tho Seventeenth
Ward, addressed tho moeting. Ho reminded
that body that If they intended to mako tho conf

fail. For inBtnnco OF tho 500 mon in hla ward
who would support tlla Temperance movement,
none except three or four of thorn would support
temperance candidate.
1Tr. McLogan said tho temperance iBsuo hnd
nothing to do with tho present movement, which
was lii opposition to A. @. Hosing md hiB at-
tempt to ropoal tho Sunday law.
Tlo resolution was laid on tho table. on tho
