THE GALLANT sIxTY-NINTH.
This club held meeting last night at
the hall at the corner OF Foucher and
Calliope streets, and were entertained
by Judge w. r.. Houston and d. G.
Noise, Esq, each OF whom delivered
speeches.
The club then elected the following
officers: P. Bertel, Captain; John Sin
clair, First Lieutenant, and Jas. Ryan,
Second Lieutenant.
THE NICHOLS GUARDS
OF the Third Ward also held meeting
last night at the corner Of Girod and
Magazine streets. After some routine
business, Messrs. J. J. Foley and John
p. Sinclair addressed the meeting.
THE HANCOCK CLUB,
OF the Tenth Ward, held an interesting
meeting over Mr.. Michael Sheehan's
saloon, opposite the Magazine Market.
Pending the routine business, Mr.. Hen.
riquez arose and asked for information
who had authorized the reorganization
OF the club as announced in the public
prints, and Its connection with the
Howard Legion. He was not aware
that any such meeting had taken place,
and that at all events 1t was un-
authorized. As for himself, he proposed
to stand alOof from
CHARLEY HOWARD
and his lottery scheme, and he hoped
that the club would condemn any at
tempt to connect them with him.
Otherwise 1t would hold out TO the pub
lie that they were for sale to the man
with the largest pile. In fact. he had
heard 1t on the streets and In the courts.
He felt that the members OF the
Hancock Club were not to be bought
and sold on the streets. Their purposes
were entirely In the interest OF the
Democratic party and not Of that Of
Charley Howard or anybody else. He
finally moved that the club repudiate
and condemn the publication in ques-
ton, which was carried unanimously.
Mr.. ---------, President Of the CLUB,
Mr.. Michael Sneehan, and other NOM
bers whose names appeared rs having
been signed to the so-called reorgan-
ization, each arose and declared that
the use Of their names had been made
without their authority. and that they
knew nothing OF the meeting. G 4
Col. A. L. Tucker, Of st. Mary, being
to the club, made d stirring,
practical speech. After reviewing the
the repudiation OF Grant, the
bringing forth from obscrrity Of Hayes,
q mere representative OF Radicalism,
anc comparing them with Tilden, the
statesman and reformer, and Tilden.
the able representative Of Democracy,
he went into a persuasive argument on
the necessity of working hard not
only for the State ticket, but also
the national ticket: the necessity
Of nominating an honest judiciary and
legislators, without the
latter OF whom Nichols could not full
I'LL his promises Of reform. He urged
them to lay aside all men who sought
for personal ends and self aggrandize-
ment, were liable to SOW the seed Of dis
cord among them. And let 1t not be
said that the money Of the rich could
control the poor, that the money OF
Charley Howard could influence them
their very strength units them to repre-
sent the people in the great struggle.
The judiciary should be such, he re-
peated, as would dispense equal law to
rich and poor, to white or black, and
that they should see that their nomi-
nees for the Legislature should be Sc
ected without regard to the seekers OF
lucrative offices.
Col. fuckers speech ELECTED much
and applause, and he with
lrew to give the stand to Tobias Gibson,
Esq.
Mr.. Gibson's speech was also an. ex-
,ellent effort, and was particularly .ad-
IL essed to the younger members OF the
