leading spirit Of the meeting. He succeeded
admirably In disgraclng the three Or 1our re"
sncc.a5e men who were present, and they ap.
pcared heartily ashamed OF the performance.
Thomas Clifford presided, and ". T. JOHNSON
acted as Secretrry. Only temporary organiza~
ton was effected last evening. and the only
business transacted OF any consequence was the
election Of three delegates, d. q. Call, Martin
O'Nei], and ". T. Johnson, to attend the meet
ing at Maskcll Hall to-day to deliberate with
delegates from all the other wards in The city
upon the perfection OF 4 county organization
An adjournment WAS made for one Eeek.
SEVENTEENTH WARD.
The WorkingR1eu Of the Seventeenth Ward
held another meeting last evening at the corner
OF Chicago avenue and Franklin street to select
delegates to the Alaskcll Hall Convention, which
comes off this afternoon. This is the third
the same purpose. Tie selections heretofore
made were ratified.
CONFERENCE.
The Workfngmen's party sent the following
Committee, last evening, to meet committee
the differences arising from the cooperative
plank in the Communist platform: Messrs.
McGilyray, Adair, Sheridan, kerrigan, and Car
roll. All Of the Committee were present c1-
cept Carroll. About s O'Clock the Committee
was inrited to meet the Communists in 4 rear
room, aud remained closeted there until II 80.
at this time petty jeai0usies had been pretty
well settled, and the Communists decided to
appoint Il Committee OF Conference consisting
OF Van Pattcn, Parsons, Schilliug, and two lesser
lights
At midnight the Committees were comforting,
with rather poor prospect OF compromise.

The Oil Paintings in "Ga}lerv A"

The Oil Paintings in "Gallery A."
"Gallcrr Az at the Exposition contains 102
oil paintings. Over one-han are from the cascls
OF home artists, while the remainder consist OF
contributions from the studios OF Paris, Munich,
sud Brussels. Many Of tine pictures represent
the artists ut their best; aud, taken ass IN unit,
the collection Is above the average SO far as the
purely technical is concerned. There is how
ever, generally Speaking, an absence Of senti-

beFildering display Of color, he wonders Why
SO much good work is applied to such weak re-
suits.
Commencing at the left of the entrance to the
gallery, the first picture that ATTRACTS attention
is Conway MISUNDERSTANDING Squal1 on Mote
Mountain By George Inucss. This is one of
bis most powerful works, and is probably the
best specimen of his method that has ever been
exhibited In the Vest Inness is bold aud dar-
Ing in his attempts to depict nature, and yet
there Is always logical reason for everything
he essays. He paints obicctively. Follow the
