Redmond Prindivillo, Chairman of tho Hesing Trish mooting held over Greenebaum's Hank Bundsy afternoon, was directed by that gatter- tog to appoint a committee to connider the #ub- joct of Mr. Keoley’s canvass, and, if thought best, to call on that gentleman and request him fo witudraw ; or to propare an address to Frish- Amoricans, or to troat tho subject in any other way that seomed best. Yoxsterday morning Mr. Prindiville announced tho following namos as tho composition of the Committco: 1.7, Onaban, Milea Kokoo, Thomas ‘Lonergan, Thomas Haljino, al. B. Bailey, Philip Covloy, J. il. Donlan, M. A. Do- vine, Thomas Carnoy,%B. UG. Caultiold, Patrick O'Brion, J. UW. McAvoy, P. Meliugh, Michael Burke. As tho Committeo was to consint of fif- toen, and only fourtoen names wero aunoanced, itia fair to supposo that Rt. Prindivillo was tho other membor. Immediately upon their appointment the Com- mitteo wero NOTIFTED TO MEET in W. J. Onahan’s oltice at4o'clock p.m. At the hour named overy mombor was presont, and tho Committee settled down to talk tho matter over, ‘Tho opinion was advanced that it would do Mr. Keoloy more good than hurt to call on him and receive tho rofusal which they bad Tearnod from ap private source was awaiting them. It was reported to the mecting a8 author- Mativo thet Bir, Keoley had expressed to & mutual friend that ho thought his chances wero too good to lose, and he would soo Mr. Hesing furthor firat before ho wonid give way to him, This being known, it ‘waa yotad unadyisablo to callon Mr. Keoloy at TRE SUBJECT OF AN ADDETES to tho Iriah voters sa from the Committoo was canvassed, aud, after o full exprossion of opinion, it was thought that even that measure would holp the Independent more than it would Lurt bim, and it waa finally sottiod to do nothing at all, but simply iguore Afr. Koeloy’s chaucos as Jar as that could be done. Mr. Conley and Mr. Daloy, sfter the mocting, believed, or affected to beliove, that Koeloy’s strength was not worth while making s furs over, and that the Committee had acted wisely in refusing to formally recognise him as an cle- ment in the contest. “Mr. Conley explained his behof by offering to bet $100 that Keeloy would not get 100 votea on tho North Side, Ths repart~ er did not accept the speculation, and it re- mains open for somo politician. THE KEELEY NEADQUARTERS wero more crowded yostorday than on any pre- viona day of the campaigu, aud from morn to evo the store occupied by the Independent was even full of politicisna aud gentlemen not poli- ticians from tho different wards, particularly thogo on the Weat Side, It could not, of course, ‘bo accurately Judged how Inrgo a constituency each vinitor reprogented; but, if thoy had any following to pledge, Mr, Kooloy will poll a largo Voto. ‘TUX CANDIDATE HTMSELE was ploasantly contidont, aud thonght that Heaing votes wero coming over to bim daily ip large numbers, and that ho was reasonably sure of polling» larger vote than cithor of his op- ponents, Roqueste for ward moctings in his intorest were coming in from all over the cit; and he was arranging for au many as he col attond or find yood apenkera for. ‘Mr. Keoley was much plessed at rocelving an invitation from the Mechanics! Union asking Gen Btilea and himwelf to speak at the South Side Turner Hall, corner of Van Buron and Clark atreeta, to-vight. This invitation was of course accepted, and Keeloy thought it meaut ho had captured thia entire body, 700 strong. Mr. Koeloy was disposed to troat THE IRISH-UESING MEETING of Sunday afternoon with scorn and derision, oud said that it showed nothng at all in tho way of Irish gontimont. Ho should, ho said, if a comunittes called on bim, refuse to withdraw at any price, no mattor what inducements wore held out. One of his friends in the room resentod tho Ampudence of Hosing in claiming to be the stronger, and proposed to send a committes to tho Opposition peadquartors to ask tho loador of that ticket to withdraw iu favor of Keoley. It would be much tore reasonable, bu said, than to sek Keolcy to withdraw ip favor of Hoving. After the result of the Committee moeting at Mr, Onahau's office bad Lecomo known the Keoley mun wore evon moro jubilant than befora, claiming thatthe refusal of the Committee to warry out tho instructions given them by the Hundsy meeting Wau s confeesion of Leaing's Kroat Weaknows among the risk, anda virtual sbandonmont of that whole voto tu Kusloy.

THE VOURTEENTIE WanD. A. large meeting of Koolev's friends in tho Fourteenth Ward was hell iast evening in a saloon at the corner of Lake and Leavitt slreats, ‘Thomas North in tho chair, Mi.

Aid. Giltroviowed Michiaet Keeloy’s suecassfal career, aud argued.that tiaraby he hal shosn himself fitted to manage tho peaplo's finaness, Michael Keeley appeared at thie juncture, and, amid the cheors of tho crowd, took the stand, He mado ap exeellout peccti, anil was onthisas. tivally received. Tle waid that this waa tho first time had spoken in the Fourteenth Ward, bet there was nonecd of extanded remarks fron him, becauso tnany of those present had already heard lnm iu tho noighboriug warde, and because there wero others proxent who coukl speak better than bimrelf, 10 desived. however, to fnake an explanation, All preacut wero aware tot last weak a ca’l was inauoil by circular for a mocting of the represoutative drivh-Amoricans of the city, and that there circulara woro dis- tributed broadenst by Heaing’s ininions, Mr. Tleaing asked that como Ttishinen shoald sssist in tho digtrioution of the eireatars, bat nono re sponded. Only the relatives aud tho minions of the tyrant carried the bills through tho strests. Tho speaker said he was proud that Irishmen had rebuked this man by thus hurhog bis jnanlt into hte teeth. Ho was proud of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow-citizons, It Bhowed that flexing could not say to Irist-Ameri-+ cana whom they should vote for. Thoy wero ine depondont, and upon this principle the speakor esid ho was running in this exmpsign, and le this he expected to be successful, and to defeat thu tyrant and lus ting. The object of the mect- ing referred to was ovident, No committeo was appointed to wait upon the speaker and ta axk him to withdraw. ‘Lhero was no intention to do anvthing of the kind. Tuo object of the meeting was to create the impression that thespeaker had boon bonght up, and be called upon thoso prea- ent to make the tyrant swallow tits slander, No Tishman inthe city wouid tirst have uttered tt, A man had to boimported from the southern por- tion of the State to dofame ono against whom no reproach had ever bofora heen spoken, But, whon A.C. Hosing found that his slandor did notinjnre the speaker, the mecting was calldtl fo promtlgato tho belief that the fatter bad been bought up. Mr. Mesing was trying perso- ecntion sino, by demanding that all men be discharged from publics work who supported his opponent. ‘The Board of Publie Works had been requeated to lecharie mon who had largo con- tracts ond who employed inou favorabtlo to the speaker, Theso workmon wero to bo compelicd to sacrifice either their meaus of support or their manhood and indepondonce.

Anumber of meetings woro arranged for dur- ing tho weok, and sponkcrs detailed to deliver addresses. The attempt of the Opposition to eloar Keeley from the track was frosly com. mented upou. It was regarded as no nomistak- avlo evidence of waning couraze and popularity, which must have a had offect on tho Oppusition ticket. Keeloy waa reported to have ridi- culed the movomont, and: to havo de- glared bis intention of sticking in tho Held despite avy addrora the so-called Irish Committeo might draw up as bait for Irish votors. Cousidering the composition of Sun- daj'a gathering, it was considered aga direct slap in Keeley’s faco, which that geoticman will repay with intorost at tbe polls. ‘Tho meoting was almost cutiroly composed of the men who traded him off at tho Couvention, snd to ap- proach him now in such 9 manner was deemed the height of impudenco, Great harmony pro- vaila at tho headquarters, and au immonse amount of work ia being done in on quiet, unos- tentationa manor.

Both of them are members of the Republican Executive Commit- tee, and sro working evergetically for Huck. TUK JEFYELUSONIANS. Tho Jeffersonians made very little outward show yeuterday, but one or two committacs wero working very quietly cattiog and drying every: thing for the Convention to-day in the iutarest of the Dovil-Fish ticket. ‘Lhe officers of tho Club denied any knowlodge aa to the probable rosult of the Convention. Several of them wera interviewed thereon, but cither they aro vory good dissembliers or (hey are realty ig- norant or indiferont. Rather s stormy mooting ig oxpected. A fow of tho straight Democrats composing the Club have no sympathy with tho Opposition party, and will favor any plan to rob it of what little show it now has in tho election, On the other Land, the wore turbulout aud (of course) bibulous’ mombers aro determined to carry @ vote of contidenca in the Hosingites, and to pledge the Convention to their support. If no agreement is arrived at by tho two seo- tions, thoro will be aome rollicking fan.

Pirtanuna, Oct. 25.—Lt ia estimated that at Toast 19,000 people assombled on tho South Side to-night to listen to the speech of Gov. Allen, of Ohio, That portion of tne city is largely popu- lated by workingmen, avd it was to thie clasa that Afr. Allen directed tho principal part of his speach, After reviewing and explaining tho right of suffrage and- showing the supreme importance of every man acting at the polls according to bis judgmout, Mr. Allon showed the nocessity inthis Republic of s ropro sentative form of govornment, sod dwelt at some length on tho care which shoula be used in the selection of reprosentativos.

This misapprehension seoms to havo origingted in-an ambigulty in tha report. of this Commission. Tho Commiréion in their written report recommend that the foundatiou bo strengthened, but neglect to give the details of tho manner in which they wish to havo their recommendations executed, nor did tho Commission, as a whole, verbally communi- cate thoir views tothe Supervising Architect. ‘Tho latcer, however, sought ont tho mentber of the Committes moat acccasiblo and obtained from bit his views us to ‘THC INTENT OF THE commission. ‘The interpretation this givon tothe report by one of tho meinbers of tho Commission was pro- eumad to ba the concurrent opinion of the other members of tho Commission. Upon this con- ciumou the Supervising Architect actod, and he drafted his instructious to Hanuaford atrictly in sccordance with tho intorpretation given by the member of the Commission. ‘Lbis intepretation was that tho coucroto was to be reinforced 60 as to incroaac its bearing etrevsth. It appeara, on the other hand, that the majority of tho Com- mirsion recommended tho change in the con- crete only ta resist the upward pressure, Tho tno theorics, of courac, aro radically autagouis- tic. ‘They only contemplated taking out the con- crete of tho foundation whoraver jt wag one foot thick, and fill up the oxcayation with goncroto four feot thick, Tho order ATRICTLY TOUNADE EXCAVATIONS or disturbing the foundations, aud recom- monded only that additional ~ concrete ho addod to resist the upward prossuro, The majority of tho Commission appear to favor this Jatter plan, the minority ‘the former.

It in certainly the purposo of Secrotary Bristow to carry out to tho niinutest detail the recommondations of tho Inst Commission, and it is considered unfortunate that the Commiasionors did not thomeclyos pre- seribe the manner in which thoy intonded to havo their plana executed. It is probsblo thut Heerotary Bristow will call npon the members of the Commiusion for a formal writlen etatemout of their views upon tho question of concroto, and the foundation in partioutar. Architect Pottor may not give any new orders until an au- thoritative oxpreusion of opinion from tho last Commission is obtained, It can be stated that tbe dispatch published in.
