Political Notes.

REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL Committee.
A secret meeting of the Baltimore members
of the Republican State Central Committee
was held on Monday evening at Raine's Hall
with r. Socket Mathews chairman, and
John McGarigle secretary. A committee,
including the chairman, was appointed to
confer with the Republican CITY Executive
Committee, which were holding meeting in
an adjoining room. Upon returning the
meeting was addressed in some lengthy re.
marks by Mr.. Mathews.
In the course Of them, Mr.. Mathews said
that he was not in favor Of a coalition of the
Republicans with either the reform or work.
ngmen's parties. In regard to Republican
nominee for Mayor, he said that he had con.
versed with several long. headed, farsighted
citizens Of Baltimore, and asked if they wonld
accept the nomination, but they had declined.
he had seen one gentleman, and told him if
he would accept the nomination, that he would
be elected if money could insure his success,
Mr.. Mathews claimed that the Republican
party had thrown itself away in 1875, when il
had entered into coalition with the Reform
party. He asked II they were going to do the
same thing in 1877? Henry NJ. Warfeld
will meet with an overwhelming defeat, and
it is sheer madness on his part to continue a
candidate for the mayoraly. The Working.
mems party will see their egregious error.
and bear the brunt and shame of their defeat
on the day Of election.
Could some kind friends, said Mr.. Mathews.
60 to Mr.. Warfeld, and, in convincing him OF
his folly, get him to Withdraw, and could we
get Mr.. Thompson to see that there was no
hope for him and his party, then we could
make q nomination and defeat Col Kane.
Mr.. Mathews seemed TO be in favor of making
straight.out Republican nominations for
Mayor, City Councilmen and members of the
Legislature, but, said he, we have got to wait
until we reach the road where the forks meet.
A motion was made and adopted that a
committee Of three be appointed for the pur.
pose OF ascertaining the true condition of the
Republican party; and to agree upon some
uniform basis of operations. The motion was
adopted, after which the meeting adjourned.
Senator Thurman, of Ohio, made speeeh
at Marion, in that State, on Saturday. the
I'D ult., in which he claimed that Mr.. Tilden
was fairly elected President; that the count
by the Louisiana and Florida returning boards
was fraudulent, and that the action of the
electoral commission in refusing to hear eyi.
dence Of want Of jurisdiction in the returns Of
those States was entirely wrong. He also
claimed that the policy of President Hayes
was precisely what the democratic party had
eonssnpsu TUT onring tne past ten years: As
