Thene are the Sixth to tho Fourteenth, Inclusivo, and the roll helng called jt appeared that every wakd except the Tenth was represented.

" The Chalr sald that the object of the meeting, a8 he understood It, sastofix the time nnd place for holding the Town Conrentlon, and to make as ap- purtionment of delegates. Mr. Kohleaat, of the Twelfth Ward, said ihat bis ward had determined to have the same repre- sontation In the Town es in the City Conventlon. All tho Committea thon assembled could do was to pominata the time and place. Jnstice Ballsbury thonght that it would be best ta give tho warda the same fepresantation as in the Clty Convention, Mr, Hckbardt, of tho Ninth Ward, mados mo- IIUYII \:‘mbodymg this recommendation, which pre- vailed, > tica Bcully moved that the Town Conventlon ‘b6 held on the forenvon of March 20, the same day a8 that on which the City Conventlon meats, It wan sugzested that the City Convention metat 104, m., and posslbly soma dolegates might be members of both Conventions. Mr. Kohlsaat there(ore moved to hold the Town Conventlon on the 27th Ioat, ¥ Justles Scally considered tho' town election enuslly important with that for city oficers. The nomination of Conetables was a very imporiant matter, and he thought 1t possible that if the City Convention wero hold firat disscuaions might ariso which would interfere with the work of the Town Canventiou. Mr, Grabam, of the Beventh Ward, moved that the Town Convention bo hield on the 27th inat. at 102 m. The motton provailed. Mr, Hoffmun, of tho Ninth Ward, sald it Parker Hall, on tho corner of Madison and Haslsted sireots, could be procured cheap, ELRCTING DBLEOATES, Mr, Malone, of the Fourteenth Waed, moved that ench ward clab Lo allowod to select delegates tothe Conventlon. .

Tiummers ran the prisarics and rung in whom they leascd, Letthe ward clubs choose the delegates 1o primary aystem was 8 pernicious one, and m lesn checked would eveutually undermino the He- publican party. Mr. Mamer's experience of clubs was the same as that of the Jast speaker with the primarics, As soon as it became known that tho Club wasto choase hio delegater, the hooka ware ** doctored,™ and men placed upon them who never voted a Ite- publlcan ticket 1n thelrlives, The natural conse uence was that men of standing in the party 1o« funcd to aMllate with the clubs. Judea olley cansldered that their only object abould be to get the beat men poesible, = Thero wad not such an _opvortunlity for " fraud where the clutis chosa the delegates e under thc‘rr(mury wyatem, Ho would move, a8 aon amendment to Mr, Eckhardt's motlon, that the clubs bo ** recom- mended” Instead of **instructed to select dele- [‘l}lu‘l‘ Mr, Eckhardt accepted the amendment, and the motfon, su amended, provailed, On motlon, the Chalr appointed Messrs.
