Mr. Smith nommated t § 5 FuDer as temporsry Chairman, The motion wes earried unanimously, and Nr. Fuller mounted the platform and took fus place at the speaker's etand. After gracefuily refurning his thanks for ¢he honor, ho remarked that the eky was fall of reform. dod be wanted to kmow if the Pemocratic parry wounld root out corruption Zrom the pody politic. From the applauso which gredted this appeal, it seemed tha: the Conven- oo wesin for reform. And Mike Evans ap- Planded with tho rest. The next ‘business in order was to elect tem- rary Secretaries. The lot fell on Dr. J. Ward Ais, P. T. Murray, and Allen C. Storey. A mo- tion toappoint a COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS, sonsisting of three from each Division, was car- ried, the Oommmnein to be also instructed to re~ rt permanent officers. |po The Committee rotired to therearof the stage, and, baving corraled nine chairs, sat down to deliberate. It was announced that thers was a coptest in the Fifth \Ward, and whea the Committee had got down to that ward they fnvited the two factions to come up and assert their respective rights. The matter was at last fixed up to the estisfaction of the Committoe, at least, who reported through thair Chairman, Judga Otis, in favor of makiog tho present offi- eors the permanentones of the Convention. The second part of tbe raport showed that thers was mo contest except io the Fifth Ward, and recommended that the repro- gentatives of the other wards be accept a8 delegates to the Convention. So much of the by 5 t was promptly adopted. reference to the contest in the Fifth, the Commuttee reported 1n favor of admitting both delegations and allowing each seven votes, msking fourtcen votes for the ward. This recommendation brought out a deal of impassioned snd very ungrammatical talk from the two factions, interrupted by vigorous snd wepeated cries of * Question.” The question was finally put and carried, and the Fifth Ward became evtitled to its fourteen votes. + Hir. James K. Doolittle, Jr.. maved to appoint & commitzee of nine on_resolutions, three from each division. The motion was carried and the pinted the following Committee: J. B. Doolittle, Jr., Swayne Wickershaw. T. A. Moran, C ‘Augartos Van Rir Buren. Berpard McKenoa, AL A. La Buy, Perry 1L Smith, Aroo Voss, and F. B. Peabody.

He was & life-long Democrat, and al- =hough, he said, the present Administration was t & Democratic one, but one elected on s peo- le's ticket, he was in favor of Jaw at all times, w58 unaiterably opposed to what he consid- B ce to the law.

In DOOLITTLE £ was & dispesition to ery ‘him down, but the Chair succeeded in geiting order, and Mr. Doolittle was allowed {0 go on. e took up Cameron’s remarks and went throngh them ‘in short order. To go on with the prosent Administration, he said, wonld carry the city and the Democratic party to death and disaster. If the Bopreme Court could not de- cide the question, let 1t be put to the people. That an election would be beld this spring was certain, and what better compliment conld the Convention pay than by recommendinz¢he Hon. ‘Thomas Hoyne for that offico? In closing ha moved the adoption of the resolutions. A scone of confusion followed. Cries of 'fl‘n%nasfion! * were heard all over the hall, wotil y MILES KENOE got the floor. Tle sud there had beon a great deal of pettifogging to evade this great question. The point was not whether the Convention shonld nomicate a candidate for Mayor, but whother 1t should recommend to the Tuesday evening mecting the name of the Hon. Thomas Hoyne 88 » fii man for theoffice. The question was whethor the Convention had sofficieut faith in 3Ir. Hoyne's ability to recommend him at that mecting. For his part, he should go tnere and boldly declare bis faith in that gentlemsn, and there ware thousands who would do the eame. There were no two ways to get arosnd this question, The peoplo must be told honestly what thoy ought to do, snd if the Democratic party was afraid of meoting the issue and doing 1t8 part it was & fraud, ond the sconer tha peo- ple knew it the better. He balieved that whea thelsw and Constitution were overridden, he thought he ought ‘o have manhood to esy even to a friend, * You have disgraced the first princi- pleof Derocracy. Thus far fhalt thou go, and no farzhor,” and io the maintenance of this position e wanted to go to tio polls and vote for a man, whether he was elected or not. He hoped that the Tuesday evening meoting wonld decisre that the Hon.” Thomss Hovne was the fit- test csndidate for Mayor. ~He didn't want to vote for s Republican Mayor. He wanted a Democral nominated, and hoped no cowardice on the part of the Convention would induce it to strike aut the vindication of a principle. N ‘That part of the resolntion preceding the ref- erance to the election of & Mayor was, aftera great deal of palaver and tho interposing of uu~ merous motions to lay on the table, adopted. The Cbairman then read the closing portion of the resolutions, and tha vote was_called by wards, with the following result : Yeas, 113 naye, 9. The decision was received with cheers. CITY TREASURER, Mr, Bernard Callaghan then moved that the recommendation_of the report be made unan- imous, but the Couvention seomed ansious to ‘get down to the roal business in hand, and Mr. fohn MeEiroy inoved to proceed to the nomina- tion of candidates. The motion was carried. Mr, Thomas Moran arose, and, after some elo- quent remarks, nominated Mr. John Mattocks for City Treasurer. Gen. Lieb,-in & few words nominated Ar. Ciinton Brigre, sud_Col. J. D. Healy nominated Mark Sheridan. The Convestion™ then pro- ceeded to ballot. Tho reault of the first informal ballot was as follows : It was then deci allor be formal. It was taken, and resalted as follows : Total votes cast.... 52 Necessary to a clioice. . John Mattocks, Clinton Briggs. Owing to & mistake on the part of the clerks, this ballot was declared 1oformal. There was a very evident disposition on the part of some wards to chango their votes, and the resuit was thot the Convention voted to take snothor bal- Iot. Mr. Sheridan’s name wes witbdrawn, and the result wosas follaws Total votes cast...... o " Alr. Briggs was then made the unanimous nominea of the Convention. FOB CITY CLEEE, Miles Eehoe ncminated Hans Haerting. The name was received with applause, and. oo mo- tion, the nomination was made unanimous. CITY ATTORNEY. Mr. J. B, Doolittle, Jr., then nominated Tg- bort Jamieson for City Attorney. The Hon. Thomas Hoyue snoounced that he was request- ed to withdraw r. Jamjeson’s name. Mr. Vsughan moved to nominate Froucis Adams, and on motion the nomination was made unanimons. FOR POLICE-COUET CLELE, , Mr. Bornara Callaghsn nominated Mr, Charles J. White ; Mr. 8, C. Cameron nominated AMr. Edward Cunpingham ; Mike Batley put up Lat- v O'Brien ; Mr. A. C. Storey nominated Thomas H. Dwyer ; Col. Long put up James Bonfield ; and Mr. Marigs nominated M. J. O'Brien. Dr. W. O. Osgood was put forward by Gon. Sher- man. . The Convention then proceeded to an informal ballot, eeveral votes being cast for B, H. Stitz, who was not one of the regular candidates. The result was as follows : . J. 0'Brien, Dr. W. g B. H. Stitz witbdrew from the fight, and the second ballot was made a formal ope, with the Charles J. WV Bontield, and the Convention procesded to sn- other ballot, with the following result :- Mr. Dwyer baving the lowest number of votes, was dropped, and another ballot was taken, with the fotlowing result : and thasl 3Ir. Cunning dropped m’s na contest narrowed down to 0'Brien and Bonfield. The greatest excitement prevailed while tho vote was being taken, and the aiales wore clearad of epectators only after some diffioulty. As the last ward _voted for Bonfield the return was areeted with loud cheers. The baliot reeulted 28 followa : 50 .86 Mr. Boofield was declared elected. A motion to adjourn was made and withdrawn in favor of amotion byMr. ¥, H. Winston to sppoint a City Central Committee, one from each ward and w0 at large, the ward members to be nominzted by tha delegation from each ward, and the mem- bers at large to be chosen by the Chair.

R.'B. Stone, Michael Schmitz, A. Grabam, A. B. Cook, Dr. C. J. Lewis, C. Folz, and J. S. Mullen. Mr. Taylor was chosen Chairmen and Ald. Stone Secretary.

Spalding as Chairmsn, was appomnted. Aessrs. Folz and Clark wero also placed on the Committes, and two other members will be added at the next menting. The question of what was the particular work for which tho Central Cormittoe was _eleciod csused eome discussion and consultation on the 1eans to bo employed to unito the efforts of the candidatos, the Campaign Committess recently selected’ by the candidates for office, aud the Contral Comnmiittee, and it was finally decided| that the Central Commitzco would meet for such & consultation with the candidates and their campaign aids_to-morrow morving at 10 o'clock. in Republican Heedquarters, corner of Lake and Clark streets. TENTH WARD. A meeting of tio Independent Club of the Tenth Ward, was held lasy evening at No. 181 West Lake street, C. F. Donovan in the chair, The Committeo appointed at a former meeting to nominate candidates for Aldermon, reported {{.\: names of Michael McNurney and George E. ite. ‘I'he report, 8o far as it reforred to White, was decidedly obnoxious to the more respectablo ortion of the meoting, but the officers being 1n his interest, atlempts 1o express opposition wers in vain. Tho roport was finally doclared attopted, after s great deal of wrang- ling, and: the Secrefary headed a Comumttee to go iuto tho ealcon to surprise Wiute. When he entered the mesting about one-third of the su- dienco left. The rest of the meeting was given to spesch- mukiag, James MeDermott being the leading: orator, . Dr. Harcourt addressed the moeeting, heartily indorsing Mlr. McNurpey. As to White, he maintained a suspicious &ilence, not cven ailnd- ing to him, except to say that politicians were rotten and corrupt beyond measurs, and that he would have nothing to ao with thern, The Secrotary arose and informed the meeting that Mr. White had asked him ta extend an in- vitation to all present to step into the ealoon and take & glasa of beer. ‘The invitation was accopt- ed with’ great uosnimity, and the mesting ad- Jjourned. SIXTEENTH WARD. The Domocrats of the Sixteenth Ward held o meoting last evaning for the purposs or nomin- | noting candidates for Aldermen of the ward. After a short consultation it was docided to de- for sction in regard to this matter until Monda; evenivg to have tlime to consult witl the Republicans who are dlesatisfied with the nominations made at the Rapublican pri- maries. 1t is understood that the independent Republicans desiro to placo in nommation 3ir. F. Linsenbarth,a commission merchant on Sonth Water stiest. The Democrats are willing to take up Mr. Livsenbarth, provided the inde- gundmc Republicans will suppors Col. Arno ogs. THE THIRTEESTH WAED. The Thirteenth Ward Repmblican Clab met 1ast eveniug at Beng's Hall, No. 783 Lake street, the President, hlr. Williams, in H.mchg Bosiness opened by calling upon the candi- dates for Aldermen to pledge themselves. Ald. 8. E. Clevoland came forward at once and teo- dered his resiguation as & candidate for Alder- man. Mr. J. C. Halnes moved that the resigoation be not mccepted. The motion was seconded, and broughtont & stirring debate. Ex-Ald. Gill, who i8 agzin sfter Aldermanic honors, was the first npon his feet, and proceeded to assail Ald. Quirk's character a8 a Republican official. 3r. C. G. Dixon followed in accusation of Ald. Quirk, charging him with bringing illegal voters to the primaries for the purposs of securing big own nomination. Ald. Quirk responaed, and explained his ac- tion at the polls, and his offorts to break up the illogal votine that was_baing attempted in the ward. He then said that the assault upon his character was 80 provoking that he would pay samo little attontion to Ald. Gill'a character as an Alderman, accumulating riches on & meagre sslary of $900 per year, which he received as Sidewalk Inspector. He mentioned sgveral in- stances in which it was allegod Gill had received bribes, particnlar atiention bsiog paid to tho as- sertion that Gill had received $10,000 of Milwau- kes & Bt. Panl Raiiroad bonds for his intlwenco ju eecaring them the nght of way into the city. He was frequently inferrupted by spplause, aod ovidently the crowd thought he cleare himself of the aspersions oast npon him by Mr. Gill. Mr. F. J. Smith wauted no epithets hurled abous promisenonsly, &s it wa3 sp injustice to the Republicans of the ward, and conid reault in no good. - )‘X:z‘c. J. C.'Haines had no idea that his resolu- tion would create such au uprcar. Ald, Cleve- land was o very excellont oflicer, and_could bat poorly be diepensed with. Mo had always been on the right gide of every question bronght be- fore the Council, snd a good bird in the hand was alwava worth more than the unknown singer’ in the bush. 7 Mr. J. A, Roche followed in a slight descrip~ tion of the way matters were run ai the polls on tho day of the primaries. He thought tbat the Eepublicans of she ward kad been slan- dered and ineulted by the conduct of several men at the . primaries. At the conclusion of hiy remarks, a call for the original resolution brought out nmendments iouumerable, and up- on them Gill aaked for a call of the_roll, con- suming much amount of time. Finally, action upon the remgnation of Ald. Cloveland was postponed until the next meeting. A motioo to adjourn was lost, sod C. G. Dix- on_procesded to address the meeting, and ended by calling upon the presact candidates to withdraw in favor of Louis Wolf, who wae the Democratic candidate for Alderman last year, but suffered defeat. Another motion was made t0 adjonrn and was carried, but Gill again insisted upon calling the yeas and nays. Mr. Emmertzmades few remarks, and thought that, inasmuch. a8 there were but seventy~two members of the Clubavd 1,000 Bepublicans in tho ward, ‘& pmg&r placo to have the discus- gion was at the polls. iz 2 Mr. 8. M. Booth tendered hia resignation ass member of the Clud, and oxtolled Mr. Gill's record while a citizen of Wiscopein. Alr. J. H. Roche moved that the meeting do pot indorse the nominations made for Aldermen at the primaries. Mr. White proclaimed that the motion was wrong. If, as Mr. Emmeriz hed emid, it was wrong to force the action of sixty-two membera of s club ugnu o thousand voters, then it was wrong for the Club to decidea question which the voters of the ward .had already acted upon. Ald. Quirk said that at s meating of the Club held on the evening after the primarties, it was moved to indorse the nominations st the primaries, and upon that motion the delegates, with Gill ac_their head, went into the City Con- veotion and helped nominate officers. He thonght it poor policy for the Club to throw over the nominations for Aldermen, when they had already accepted -the nominations of dele- ates. . ® A motion to adopt .the resolution was carried by » vouo of 43 o 31. » ‘Ex-Ald. Gill theu moved that a meeting of the Clnb for the purpose of nominaticg Aldermen be beld at the same place Tuesday evening., The 1steness of the hour precluded a further re- port of the meeting. : 4 THE DEMOCBATIC NOMINEES. The Democratic Club of the Thirteenth Ward met 1agt evening at Tainmany Hall, on Tndiana street. The only bueiness was the pomination of Aldermen, and the only two candidstes in the fiold, Patrick O'Donnell and William Wheeler,, were unsnimously nominated. . The nomivees are two very excallent men, and will both make strong_candidates. O'Don- nell run for the offic in 1872, but was defeated by one of the present incombents.

HYDE PARK. A meeting of the Campaign Committees of the Tax-payers’ and Indepsndent ticket was beld at the Gardner House, yesterday sftornoop, for the purpose of discussing the poesibilitv of a compromise. A prolonged discussion resulted in no satisfactory basis of agreemont,.and sn adjournment of the Joint Comunittee waa mado until 2o’clock to-morrow afternoon, when so- other effort will be made to roach & fair compro- mige. The difficalty in the way wns that tbo Inde- pendents insisted on retaining four of their can- didates aa a praliminary to any negotistion what- ever; thoy then proposed to nameone of the and the ayers one. This being rather morsof » jug-handled affair than the Tax- payors’ Committee wers prepared to accept, the whole discassion was wasted. It is wholly im- probable that any compromise ean be reached, and the rejection of & perfectly fair resolution, offered in part by one of their own party, shows that the Independents are willing to adjust mat- ters on no basis which does not give them a pre- ponderance of the candidates. ——— THE PRESIDENCY. WASHINGTON EPECULATIONE. Special Dispatch to Ttie Chicaqo Tribune. ‘WasmNarox, D. C., Anril 8.—Jere Harsalson, colored member from Alsbams, denies that the President told mm that he was for Conkling. Haralson says the President nsked what ho thought ofthe prospects of the Republicin party in Alabama at the pext election. To this ho replied. * That is a very difficult question to aoswer. Morton 18 very strong throughout the South. Conkliog is also very strong, and Bristow bas maoy friende” The President said, “DMorton i8 a very good mam, a firm Repoblican, and no one can urge anything against bim. Conkling is also 8 good man ; has always besn 3 consistent Republican.” This was all thac was said about the persons named. A careful political observer, who has had . talks this week with every prominent Democrat in both Houses of Congress, reaches these con- clusiono : Thero is no longer any talk of an old-fashioned Democratic ticket. It was noisy enough ot the beginning of the session, bat it kas all died awsy. The . bas evuporated Bayard is only & fascinating dream, imposaible of realizetion. Of Thurman, there is some solid residaum remaining, but 1t diminishes day by day. Tilden’s strength may be great; but it gois it pot well known to his party sssaciates in Washington. THE NAME OF JUDGE DAVIS, spoken in a whisper & fow weaks ago, is now on ail men’s lips, nine Democrats oat of ten in Cangroes, if asked to-dsy, not for their prefer- enceg, but for their opinions as to who the St. Louis nominee is likely to be, wonld roply Judge Davis or & now man. The party is likely to try sgeio its 1872 policy. Tho qualificatiou it re- quires of o caudidaie is abilicy to draw off Re- publican votes. MISCELLANEOUS. DEMOCRATIC SQUABELES. 1t is possiblo that indignation mestings will be beld in the Soventh and Eighth Wards in refor- ence to the action of Democratic clubs which were represented in the Damocratic Convention of yesterday. 1In tho Séventh it is claimed that Miko Bailey, Superintendent of Buildiogs, man- ipnlated the business in the interes: of Hildreth and Matt Fleming, in direct conflict with the de- givos of the stannch Democrats of that region.

Speakers from both partios will aa- dress the meeting. ¢ ' CASPAR BUTZ. A very sirong and detarmined offort is being msede to either induce or compel the resigna- tion of Caspar Butz, the P.ugublicm nominge for the office of City Clerk, but Butz has al- ready peremptorily refused to do 8o under any consideration. § In the evont of Butz’ resignation, the Com- mittee will have the choosing of another B date. The bidders for this nomination will be Capt. T.J. Shea, who roceived a very good vote in the Convention,\and Jobn A. Moody, the present Deputy City Clerk, who did not go before tus Convention out of porsonal consideration for his employer, Ar. Forrest. Mr. Moody would make an_excel- lent candidato. in connection with the City Clerk's office for years, and through all the tempests tbat have Taged about the City-Hall his reputation and cheractor havesbeen above reprosch. COLYIN'S BOTS. Ons of the most singniar things that a person would tnotice, upon a close examinstion of the city offices, i8 the number of bummers and loaf- era that daily congregate in 2ud abonu the May- or’s office. Ever befors in the aunals of the city the Mayor's office has been considered a re- spectable place, and visitors were wont to treat it asauch, but at present it has degenerated ioto s third class free-and-easy. Tho reasons for this outrageous state of affairs are obvions, and ominous of » stronuons endeayor by tho Colvin crew 0 maintain _themselves in office. 'Tho Aldermen who voted to prolong his term of office, together with the Mayor and his near rolatives, are the nucleus of the crowd. ‘The Mayor demonstrated his cleverness in un- principled electionsering at the Iatocharter elec- tion, and thoro is every reason to believs that e is eseayiog to play the same gawe at the com-* 10g election. In conjuuction with bis scallawag Aldormen, ho is combining and organizing what might bo termed an Independent party. With _ their usual sbrewdness, ~ they are cilcalating all . sorta of devicea for the furtherance of their schemes. The secunty of the Mayor will depend aimoat salalv upoa the character of the next Conncil, and accordingly Colvin and his crew aro psying particular atten- tion to the composition of that body. Expe- rienced Aldermen who voted for him are, of conree, preferable. and thus it is that Ald. Stout, Hildreth, Fitzgerald, and White have each been renominated. Those Democratic Aldermen who voted for him previonely, such as O'Brien and Bailqy, sre oxpected to join in with the combina- tion, acd really bave already done so, althengh they would deny it if questioned. - Every honest voter will recall the outrages of the charter election, and the fact that this sama crowd are sgain organizing for political purposes should 2lone be sufficient for the clubs in all the wards to josist upon ' Aldermanio candidates pledging themsolves tovole sgainst the pro- longation of an illegal-term oftice, and in the event of their refusing o to do, openly opposing such_cendidates on election day. This motion should pot oe confined to the Eepublican warde, but the same sentiment - should permeate every Demccratic Club in the city. The Demoeratic Cobvention yestardsy asserted their opinion on the subject, “which, if followed out, cannot fail to restors the repntd~ “tion of the-city, and give tone to the pext ads minigtration. remaining m candidates, thus giviog them five - ' tained.
