THIRD WARD.
The Third Ward caucus called by the
Central Committe met at the Courthouse.
Dougald ellis called the meeting to order,
and stated that two caucuses for the Third
Ward had been called that as one of the
Central Committeeman for the Third Ward,
he was asked to hold the caucus in
Jacobs Hall, and objection was made to its
being held at the Court house, on the
ground that it was outside Of. the ward. He
said he replied that the caucuses had
been held at the Courthouse for the past
tw enty years. for the reason that no hall
rent had to be paid but only a small bill
for gas and the janitor; but if those who
desired to hold the caucus in Jacobs Hall
would guarantee the payment of rent
of the hall, he would have it held there.
This the party promised to do, and went
away to arrange it, but never came back
again. The committee therefore called the
meeting at the Courthouse, as usual. This
was the only reason he knew of, he said,
why second caucus was in session. Win.

FOURTH WARD.
The Fourth Ward caucus was of the
liveliest description. 1t was seen at the
outset that it was to take the place of the
primary. The First Ward caucus was
called at Z, the Third Ward caucus at 7:3O
and the Fourth Ward at s. Long before
the last named hour large crowd collected
in front of the hall on K, near Tenth street
When the doors were opened the room was
filled with rush to its full limits, only
the recess back of the rostrum and to the
rear of the chair being left vacant 1t was
understood before the doors were opened
that w. f. Huntoon had been selected as
Chairman, and leading Republican of
the ward so informed our reporter. Chas.
Cooley, of the Central Committee called
to order
E. X. Alsip nominated Clinton l.. White
as Chairman. Nj. NJ. Drew nominated w.
f. Huntoon. Mr.. Cooley put the motion
on Huntoon's election first, amidst loud
protests that it was unparliamentary. He
declared Huntoon elected, but great confu-
sion arose, and it was loudly protested that
First, Second and Third Ward men were
thick in the hall and voting and this was
true. A division was demanded and taken
by directing the Huntoon men to stand on
one side and the White men to stand on
the other. Prominent Third Ward Repub-
licans were noticeably active in pulling re-
luctant voters over to the Huntoon side.
and one leading White promoter was forci-
bly, kept on the opposite side. The major
ity was clear for Huntoon, and it was
so announced, but it was impossible
to say how the vote stood as be-
tween genuine Fourth Ward Repub-
liams, so inextricably mixed were they
with First, Second and Third Warders.
But from the subsequent proceedings, it is
fair to assume, that majority really were
for Huntoon. Elwood Bruner was unani-
mously chosen Secretary. NJ. A. Howard
moved that the Chair name a committee of
seven to select and report thirty-eight per-
sons to be voted for at the primary as dele
gates to the convention of Thursday next.
