The meeting OF Republicans, at the
rooms of the Young Mems Republican

the offer Of a portrait of J. Edward
Addicks.
City Tax Receiver Edmund Mitchell,
Jr., stated the object of tho nesting.
He said that great preparation had
been made for the campaign in the
lower part of the State, and that the
people down the State would take
notice of, how things are running IN
this city. They might think, he said,
that Addicks has captured the Eighth
ward, the banner Republican ward OF
the city, which would do great injury
to the cause.
One of the speakers was asked IL he
knew two weeks ago of the existence
of the Eighth Ward League, and he
acknowledged that he did not.
Councilman Stats ana other repre-
sentatives Of the Eighth ward stood up
for the action Of the League. Mr..
Stats raked the opposition, and said
that the Republicans of the Eighth
ward did not propose to be dictated &c
by handful Of men at Seventh and
Market streets. He said they 1.-THE

and were working for the party, and

Others talked in the same strain, ant
those who were opposed to the actor
of the league were given to understand
that many in the Eighth ward, in fact
majority, are friendly to Mr.. Addicks,
and that the object of the league wat
TO unite the two factions, and with
that end in view they had decided tc
receive a portrait of the late Gov.
Marvil and also one of Mr.. Addicks.
Winfield S. Quigley stated that tht
meeting had not been called for fight
The intention was to have friendly

was much of friendly feeling among
those assembled. The meeting ended
in confusion, several persons talking a
