Sullivan and Capt. J. W. Brockway. Philip Wadsworth for County Treasurer, and Reuben Cleveland for Police Commissioner. Tho various elements opposed to tho Healog- O'Hara combination bave been acting inde- pondently of each other for several wooks, and there was not the union aud harmony cssential to success in a political compaign., There were the Republican and Democratic Central Commit- tees, each ompowered to call a Convention there was the Committee of 8eventy, which has slrendy summoned n Convention to meot Thurs- day noxt, and there were two committees of prominent citizens, each of which intonded to put o ticket in the field. The Republicans hesi- tatod as to the proprioty of making nominations; the Democrats wero disinclined from the seginning to nominating =« party ticket, and all that was nacossary was for the two Committoes of citizens to invite their co-operation in the framing of o ticket. Such invitations wero ox- tonded, and, aftor preliminary moetings, tho de- tails of which will be found below, a union meet~ ing of nceredited ropresontatives from each organization was held gestorday afternoon and ovening, and, after protracted deliberation, a ticket was agrood upon. Thore wore presont in tho rotunda of the Pacific Hotol,whero the nomi- nations were made, a largo attendance of citi- zons, who watchod tho procoadings with intor- eat, and, on the whole, scomed woll plonsed with thio result. No platform was sdopted, it having beon decided that the candidates should stand or £all on their morits, The Republican Central Committee, The Republican Central Committeo met yes- lerday afternoon, pursuant to sdjournment, at the Pacific Hotel, Ald, Schaffner in the chair. Thora were prosont, W. M. Loughlin, W. H. Heafford, J. W. Brockway, Tom H. Keefo, Alonzo B8nider, Ald. Btone, John Humphrey, Nick. Eckbardt, ex-Ald. Walsh, W. W. Gardner, Homer Galpin, Ald. Sidwell, Tom Cannon, Goo, AL Howe, B. AL Davie, and 8, W, Kingsley. Quito & number of outsiders woro also proseat. Capt, Loughlin #aid, o8 the Committee bad been charged with crimes, and an attempt made to forco them to adopt & cortain courso of action, ho moved the Committeo moet with closed doors, Ex-Ald, Walsh did not know that tho gentle- men present could do any harm, or overawe tho Committeo. He was opposed to consultations in tnodark. Capt. Loughlin wanted tio Committeo to have tho credit of acting for ituelt, so it could not be #nid it was influcnced by any lobby. Thoir pro- ceedings would be known, for the proes was not excluded, and they were responsible for them. Oue outsider wanted the roll called, but was ruled out. The motion was lost—ayes, 10; noes, 9. r. Ham and hie other oursiders rejoiced, The Chalr suid at the lust mooting it was voted not to call & Convention, ev really thoy had no ‘business oxcopt an invitation, On motion of Homer Galpin, of the Commit~ too, Ald, Gill was put on in his place. Tho Secretary rend an invitation from the meeting hold Oct. 15, at the Pacific, to unite with their Committos for the purposs of nom- funting o ticket. Capt. Loughlin moved to accopt the invita- tion, Ald, Gill said bis rocollection was, the Commit- tee, at its last mooting, voted it was inexpodient to make a nomination, Did the Committeo still {hink so? ‘Tho Chalr told what was dono at the enrly meetings, Lust Mouday a resolution to invite otbor bodies to unlle with thom was voted down, and ono not to hold a Cunvention way adoptod, Then the Committeo adjourned. The resolution stood a8 Its nclion, though it could be recon- sldored, The Beorotary read s lottor from Mr. Folz, roquesting that Mr, Solimidt act for him, REMARKS OF MR, DAVIS, 3r. Davis know but fow mombers of the Committoe, ITe had not attonded any other meeting; but if bo had had any Idea they would decline to call & Convention lie would have at- tonded. He wouldlike to know by what author- ity the Committeo could hand over the party to the Democrats and s squad of Independents, By doing it, thoy #aid they no longer had confi- denco 1n tho masgos of the people. He would not bo a party to molling out the Ropub- Heans to any Junto. Thoy must call a Couvention, and leave the rosponsibility to it, It was sbsurd for a committeo chosen to call & Convention, nud that only,. to idrean: it could tako any such position as that proposed, If the Committee cauld do that, what alioginuco did iv owe to the party ? For tho suko of Lonorablo custom, they must call & convon- tiow: Did thoy think the Convention would nominate v nuaight ticket? If so, they went ayainst the wiehos of the party. Was ltfio per for them o forestall tho party? Ho sl 1 ‘| to hiand tho party ovor to any squad. , falth in tho pooplo, and iu a conventlon; Tholr only-conrso ‘wag to call ono. Who would it alnrm? Thoso' Indopoendents should go to' tho Convention, and not oporato on the membors of the Committeo, It would bo a rank usurpation OAPT. T.OUGHLIN * J @10 nut duubt Wi, Davie's Lonosty, but was fnte inlled that thero wore two aldas to the quimtion. Mr. Davis assumod tho lobby bind coutrolled. 1o bellevod o majority favored a couvention. ‘There were times whon rosponsibilitics had to be taken. Why should & convention bo callod ? Weio any national guestions pending ? Woro 1ot tha pooplo dividod on local funuos,—avou tho TRopublicans? o mako a straight tloket, read munbers out of tho parly, That waa neithor jusg nor honorable, Tho peoplo should bo allowed to not for thomuolyes, The Committeo should nct for tho best interosts of tho community. Thoy did not stultlfy thomsolvos by aceopting tho invitation, Thoy endorsed no prinaiplos, simply mon, The Inter-Ocean chargod thom with having sold out, aud s Oustom-Houso olerk made tho samo statoment at a mooting, The bost intorosts of the community wore conaulted by dropping national quostions. Mr, Davia asked what tho umunfunuy was ? ‘What was the difforonce botween this aud other yoars ? Lot thom dissolve as a Central Com- ritteo if thoy proposed not to calla convention, Thoy had no business to "{ to commit tha party in nny way, As s Ropublican committes thoy could not do it, Capt. Loughlin thought the emorgency was woll understood, Most of the Germansin the Ropublican Fll’l¥ had organized on a cortain issue. Innntional politics most of thom woro Re- ublicans, Could tho partyafford torond thom out? Vvhy should party lines bo now drawn, when a year henco thoy would bo ncoded ? As for prooe- dent, a similar combination was mado and in- dorsed in 1871, EX-ALD. GILY had beon a Republican for yoars, and admired zeal in that couse. Ho appreciated Mr. Davis' onxioty, and_when yonng hed it himsolf. But ho thought Mr, Davis’ anxiaty about the part 'was thrown away. The Committeo wan a smol portion of the party, and did noc bind it by thelr action, If its aotton did not suit tho people, it ‘would bo sot agide. The Committeo should do what it did to-day. If noconvention waa called, and the Ropublicana wanted one, they would call it, Bo far as ho kuew thom, they wore againat any convontion, and 8o were the papore. lonco bo was opposed to any convention. He was not fully in accord with thio motlon to accopt tho Invitation, He would like to inclide other org'lnlznflonu. ‘o Ohnlr oxplained that thore was provision mado for lotting in othor organizntions. Ald. Walsh moved to tablo the iuvitation. The motion waa lost. EX-ALD WALSH did not beliove the Committee had lny}})o\vnr to treat with athor organizations, Lven if it had, it would not be wise to do it. These outside movements woro really in favor of a fow men, who_woro not willing to trast tho people, an would in the end destroy tho Government. He was oppoaed to all theso back-room mootings of which thero hod boon s0 many lately. Woro they sura of defeat if thoy called a convention ? Tt was said Mr. Farwell did not want one, but that was not o satisfactory anawor. TILE INVITATION WAS ACCEPTED, Yeas—Kosfo, Warran, Btone, Gardner, Hoaf- ford, Loughlin, Gill, Sohaffuer, Brockway, and Humpmog—w. 0 Nays—Bidwell, Bnider, Walsh, Howe, Davis, Kingaloy, Onnnon, and Schmidt—8. The Becretary read s notice from the Third Ward, stating that William Baker was eleoted & momber of the Contral Committeo, in placo of H. D. King, Objection was taken to tho logslity of the ac- tion, aud it was cleimed the Committoo could not raannlzn it. A motion to wbla tho wholo mattor was lost, Mr. Baker was lot in. Capt. Loughlin moved that tho Ohatr appoint & committoo to notify the Independents of the acceptance. 1t was agreod to, and the Ohair appointed Capt, Loughlin, Ald. Stone, and Ald, Cannon. ‘I'he Committes returned accompanied by Col. Baldwin, Robert H. Fogs, aud J. L. Campboell, and reported that the Democratio Contral Com- mitteo and the Independents were awaiting them down stairs, Tho Committee adjourncd and went down, Union of All the Elemonts. Yesterday afternoon a meoting was heldina room of the Grand Pacific Hotel, attended by the Contral Democratio Committos and dele- wates from other political bodies whick aro op- posed to the Hesing-O'Hara combination. Quite n lorge number of our loading political men wore present, and the spint of the meoting was a dotermination that in tho coming struggle reapectability would not bo sufferod to bo defented by bummerism, Bir. Molville W. Fuller was appointed Chair- man, and Justice Scully Socrotery of the moot~ ing. INVITATIONS BENT OUT. It was then resolved that committoos of threo go up to the Republican and Democratio Com- mittees and tell thom that the meoting was in sossion and to invite thom to attend, and Mossrs. Baldwin, Foss, and Scanlan wero appointed such Qommittee to invite tho Ropublicans, Ald. Dixon, Bt. Clair Buthorland, and Charles L, Wil- 8on, tho Democrats, Mr, O. L. Wilson said he understood thero ‘was n Gorman and foreign Anti-Hoesing-O'Hara Committeo who desired to confor with the moot- ing, and moved that a committee be appointed to confor with them. The Chair appointed 0. L, Wilson, Ald, Schafr- ner, aud Mr. Woodwon 8 committes to confer with tho Gorman and forelgn anti-Hesing Com= mitteo. The Committeo entered and was found to bo much more anti-Hesing than foreign in itscon~ struction, CREDENTIALS. It was movod end seconded that & Committeo on Croedentials, consigting of one member from ench dolegation Lo appointed, and that each dologation nominate its representative. Ald, Dixon moved that a Committes of Bwodes and Norwegiang bo admitted to take part in the meeting. The Committee of Credentials was organized a8 follows : Committeo of ‘I'welve, J. L.

Gassotto; Bwedes' Committeo, Mr. Johnson; Norwoglan Committeo, Mr. Matson, - Ald. Dixon stated that the Committes of Soventy had a delegation of oloven members seoking admission to the meeting, and moved that thoy bo admitted, A very lively dobate eonsued, in which Ald. Schaftner opposed the admission of the mom- bors of the Committce of Seventy, He con- sidered their admigsion would prove tho death- biow of the object for which the presontmeeting was called. Onoor two Ropublicans oxprossed an inten- ton to withdraw from tho meoting if the ropre- sentatives of the Commitieo of Boventy wern admitted, and Mr. Jussen oxpressod, for his party, s similar dotermination, Ex-Ald. Camphell suggestod that, if the ropre- gontntives of tho Committee would bind that body not to got up another convention, but abida by tho dacisfon of this mooling, they should bo admitted, The mattor was flunlly, on motion of Ald. Woodard, roferred to tho Committuo on Oroden- tinle, who rotired to anather room, where thoy wuro shortly aftorwards joined by the repio- sontatives of the Committos of Boventy.

Woodard statod in bohalf of tho rop~ reaentatives of the Committeo of Bovouty that, after o duo cousidoration of the matter,and in viow of tho faat that thoro wore but fow mom- bora of that body prosont, thoy .did not fool that thoy could bind the body to any action the meot- ing'might take. Tho Committeo had alrondy callod & Convontion, atd that Conventlon tho mombors prosent had no powor to bind, Aftor gomo little further dobato, the mooting adjournod until 7 o'clock to allow the Committes on Aptpurtloumnm of Ollicos timo to proparo & roport, s e, Work of the Convention. On tho ro-sssembling of the meeting ot 8 o'clock, Col. Sebaffnor stated that tho Commit~ teo cntrusted with tho work of alloting the of- flces had propared a roport, which showed tho following apportionment: Judlgo of tho Bupsrior Court, Ropublican, an Amer- foan; Judgo of tho Oounty’ Court, Democrat, an Amorican ; Olerk of tho Oounty Court, Republitan, au American ; Clerk of the Criminal Oourt, Republi- can, an Irishman ; County Troasurer, Ropublican, an Amoricsn ; County Superintendent 'of Helools, Re- ublican, an American ; one_County Commissionor North 8ldo, Republican, n Bwedo ; rom _tho two County Commieloncra from ' tho Weat Bids, omo ~ Republisn ond ono Domocrat, German and Irish ; one County Commiesioner for the Bouth Bide, chnb'lluu, an American § West 8ide Po- lico Commissioner, Domocrat, an American, Oty Ticket—Afayor, Republican, an Amerlcan; Olty Treasuror, Democrat, an Amerlean ; Gity Colloctos, Ropublican, o German 3 City Assessor, Rfi\llnbllun, an ‘Amorican ; 'City Attorncy, Democrat, Trish ; Olerk of tho Pullca Court, Iepubiican, Norwogian, OBIEOTION WAS TAKEN by differont partios, on the ground that the committecs lind done wrong in montioning nationalities, and the national division of the offices was groatly objectod to. Ald. Dixon thought it wns disgracefully un. Irish. Tho Irish people, who hind too long beon votera and nothing olso politically, ought by now to be allowed to hold ofiico, Mr. Taylor thought that the Committos was chargod with the duty of submitting their work to the meeting, and he moved that the roport, savo that part of it reforring to nationalitios, bo accopted. Mr, Gossotte roferred to tho differonco of opinion amongst tho differont nationalitios, and ho did not seo how the offices could be fairly divided without reforence to mnationalitics. Ho ‘would atand by tho report of the Committeo. The report, s amonded by omitting tho na- tionalitios, was adopted. TRISH REPRESENTATION DEMANDED. Mr. Scahlsn spoke for tho Insh racos Shoy had long onough been called voting cattlo, and now proposed to bo ropresonted, Thero wero oloven Amerioans onthat lst and only ono Irish- man. There wero not two office-ucekers for avory Ropublican Irish voto. It was an asper- sion he hurled back. Col. Cooper moved to amend the motion go as to consider the report soriatim, and that the difforent committees each oast one vote. Thoy could get togother each by itaclf and adjust it fairly. Mr. Scanlandissented. The Bwedes and Nor- wogians bad delgaations, but tho Irish had none, though they had beld large meotings. If na- tlonalities wore to bo represented, then tho Irish wanted roprasontation. It was said by Mr, Walker tho Committeo of Beventy had been invited to send delegates, and bad done so. As one of thom, he thaught the discussion out of order. The Qouvention of the Committas of Soventy to bo held noxt weok, would not ratify the nominations now to be mado, unless tho caudidates were good men nominated irrespective of trados, Mr. Taylor's motion to strike out all of the report in' regard to nntionalities was carriod— yeas, 40 ; nays, 14—tho motion getting nn af- firmative voto in every Committce except the Bwedish and Norwegian onos, uTlm roport was dropped, with many nega- ives. A WRANGLE, Ald, Woodman moved to proceed to the elec- tion of Mayor, and that, ar the roll was called, onch man express his prefeconco, Justico Scully moved a Committeo of three bo appointed as tollers, 1d Tuylor and Mr, Campbell wanied a viva voco vote, Ool. Behaftnor snid tho Committeo of Seventy ropresontatives sald they would not be bound by tho nominations. Were thoy entitled to voto ? Mr., Hurd moved to adjourn till 11 Thurnun‘y. and then proceed with business. [** No, No,"] They had mot— Qol. Gooper raisod thoe point that a motion to adjourn was not debatablo. They had met at thoir own solicl.ation, The Soventy Lad issuod & call for s Convention on Thursday. Bo ho pro- osed that motion for tho sako ~ of Enrmony. If thoso prosont would ma]oum and act deliboratoly, harmony could bo socurcd ond the two Conventions ‘would agroo. If thoy wanted harmony, that was the way to got it. Tha dolegates from tho §oventy could not plodge it or the Convention. ‘Tom Keefo—Then they have no business hera, Ald, Woodard anid it wes pluin that not three- fourths of the men who were to constituto tho Convention wore present, since they did not know nominations wero fo bo made, and that tho press would support any made. Thoy ccmlcl‘1 not push any tiokot through to-night which the press would indorse. If the leaders presont had Yxmpmfl ouno, and protended to forco it down the peoplo's throats, thoy would bear what thoy did not look for, A “etraight Convention of Republicans would becalled Mon- day. Now lot thom wmt, There was plenty of time in which to nomiuate, and good men onough to bo nominated, Ald, Campbell thought such spoechos were juet what Hosing wanted. Ho hoped the Cou- vention wouldproceod to its logitimato businoss, and nominato, ITe did not foar tho result if they did not procinstinate. The motion to adjourn waa lost. Mr, Hurd inaisted on calling the roll, Ed Taylor claimod he had no right to do it until parlinmentary rules ind been adopted, The ovorwholming vote was ageinst adjournment. The Chair thought 1t & wasto of time, Mr. Hurd sald thore wero 8o many outsiders nothing conld be teld by a viva voce vote. Homebody moved to excludo outsidera, Iho roll was called, and tho motion to adjourn lost—yens, 10; noyn, 44, NOMINATION FOR MAYOR. Ex-Ald, Woodman's motion wns adoptoed, Ald, Dixon nominatod L, L, Rond, Monroe Hoath was nomiuated, Col. Jussen nominated John 0, Haines, Bn;;mbody in the rear nominated John Went- worlh, ANOTIER OUTIIEAK. Mr., Blakoly moved so much of the report as roforred to tho Wost Bido Polico Commissioner bo reconsidorod,—its baving boon givon to tho Domoerats. e folt ‘as if ho could not support 8 tigket rovolutionlzing any body in the oity which was Re- ublioan, - It thero ~wora & party I:nme made, & Republican Commissionor would bo elected. If a good ticket was nomivated, he should support it, but in this respoct Lo could not give up his duty to tho party, That place noulfi not bo conceded to the Deimoorats, for it would proolpitate the oalling a Republican Con- vention, Ald, Woodman said it waa disoussed In com- mittao, but ho did not boliove tho Democrats would insiat on it Mr, Danieln said the Domooratic Gentral Com- ‘mitteo represeuted the Democrnoy, and, as auoh, wont into convention, 'Tho Democrats shouls have that Commivsionorship, sinco that party mnde up tho hurd-flsted labori nq olomout, ~ Tho Domocraoy was intact, ready to_vote for the tlckot, Ho could not consenc to Blakely's com- lu,( in and reversiug the report. o Cliair sald the dobato was all out of order, Ald, Oampboll indorsed what Mr, Blakaly said, and thought the Democrats Boz the plum ‘lu the Tronsurorship, As a Ropublican ho protestod agaiust glving up tho Police Board, unless thoy could have the Lroasurership, Ald, G111 said that Board way mado up of three mon, two of thom Domoerats, If the Domocrats g0k tho West Bide man, they would hayo tho ea- tire Board, He waswilling to give tho Domoorats & County.
