Yearly Meeting Held at liens Temple De-
cember 9th-Annual Report.
Sunday afternoon a meeting was held in
the Mount Zion temple, it being a yearly
meeting of the Hebrew Relief society.
Il. S. Haas, president of the society, pre-
sided. He opened the meeting with q
speech. He informed them that he was
elected last year president of the society
against his wishes, but that having become
president of said society he made his mind
up to do all he could for the relief of the
poor. During the year three hundred
Russians had been provided for, who were
driven from their homes; they found shell
ter in this city through the assistance Of
the president, with the aid of the liberal
contributions of the members of the
society. Of the three hundred Russians
who nave been provided with shelter, there
remained but six families who are sup
ported by the society at present; the rest
are all making a living for their families,
and a number of them have been able to
provide themselves with Homestead. Dur
ing the year 569 money orders were given
out amounting from 81 to $50; amount
received. S1,400; paid out, 1920; balance
on hand, $3.50. Poor of all classes, men,
women and children have been helped, not
alone with money, but with homes, fuel,
G othing and provisions, and employment
had been found for many. Mr.. Haas has
found it a great trial in relieving &c many
sufferers. Nh. Haas was again elected for
the ensuing year by the unanimous vote OF
| all the members present.

4RTKUR, SURE AS F4TE.

The Republican National committee
meet at Washington tomorrow to choose a
chairman, to fix the time and place for
holding the nominating con-
v%ention, and other business
a~Ppertaining to the nomin-
alton for President. AS the members of
the committee hays journeyed from their
homes TO the capital they have been sub
jected to interviews directed chiefly TO
inquiry coucerningl tbs individual most in
favor among the members of the party for
the candidacy. Summing these up
as a whole, tae outlook
is very decidedly in the
direction of G.. a. Arthur. Whatever Of
concentration there is, and there seems to
be more than is usual at this distance Of
time from the sitting OF the convention,
it is entirely upon Arthur.
The stalwarts are understood to be a
unit for retaining the plan of representa-
ton operative in 1880, and decidedly op-
posed to any increase in the number Of
delegates, which upon the basis of four
years ago is 800, requiring All to nomi-
nate. The Southern States have 500 dele
gates, and these it is unequivocally stated
by high stalwart authority, will,
every man Of them, come up for
Arthur, and that sis a basis SO
strong that to secure the remainder is not
regarded as an impossible task by n
means. Those upon the inner circle count
seventy-two votes sure from New York,
which certainly simplifes the task. Gov
ernor Foster, for some consideration, is
claimed as having pledged the vote of
Ohio, which brings to the Arthur forces
more than enough for the nomination.
Votes are claimed for him from Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, to say nothing of the
eastern or New England states, from which
section it is claimed votes are already
pledged through Chandler and other ma
chine Office holders.
The Half Breeds are reported to be in a
state of great perturbation and serious
alarm at the prospect. The redoubtable
Frye, of Maine, Mr.. Blaine's chief bottle
holder. and others associated with him,
rave devised a scheme to have the basis of
representation changed, to decrease that
from the southern states and increase that
Of the northern states, in the hope that by
such a flank movement the Arthur column
may be weakened. This is es.eemted to
be a Blaine movement, and as the stall
warts have a majority of the committee,
the success of the scheme is not in doubt.
A day or two more and the strength of the
stalwart g.ip will show its full power. In
the language of a prominent stalwart
Republican,, there will be no trouble
about il. Arthur is going to be the nom
inee, sure as fate.".

Durbin Ward Wants a Secret Ballot

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 10.--General Durbin
Ward was in the city yesterday. He is
growing more confident of his chances to
FL Senator Pendleton's shoes. Wards
friends held q meeting in Columbus Thurs
day. The principal topic that was dis
cussed was the Importance of having
a secret ballot. All those
who were present were strenuous
in the advocacy OF it. Some one in the
interest of other candidates has filled Dur
bins ear with a cunning tale about the
advantages of a secret ballot, until he ae-
tually believes that it is absolutely to his
interest to have a secret vote. The move
ment in favor of Henry B. Payne contin.
ues to grow in volume and force. It is
recognized by thoughtful Democrats
in all parts of the state
that he is the candidate
of the men VINO carried Ohio. It vss
claimed by some of the sanguine members
of Pendleton's household that CarlisIe's
election as speaker would help their chief
but it has about as much to do with the
Ohio senatorial fight as the length of Ohio
cornstalks has with the price of butter in
Paris.
