Col. Waterman, OF the Twelfth Ward, was
called upon for u speech, and said that the
events Of the past few Gays Ind organized tic
Republican patty Hore enec;ually than anything;
else could have done. Until within the Fast
month he had not cared much about the Hepuo-
Lean party, but when lie had found tnat the
Opposition leaders wero III sympathy with the
1euel White League in New Orleans, he had
como to the conclusion that thore vas
much for the Republican party to do.
1t was clear to him that tho Kellogg Gov
crnment could not sustain itself, and the
strong a11n Of the National Government
must TO put forth to assist it. Whoever voted
against the Republican ticket voted for tho re-
cclo1ed people must be protected there, aud the
Republican party must maintain its ranks un-
broken, and achieve victory at the coming cleo
tiou. These sentiments ~e1o moderately ap-
pla1ded.
Mr.. ). F. Scaulou moved, in order to revive an
interest in the Republican party, and to give the
cluh something to do. that the different menl-
hers from the various wards bring III reports Of
the votes At the election OF 1872, and report such
other matters as may be Of interest, Tie mo-
ton ].reyalled.
