He beileved that it could do that, and that no movement toget men outside of the party wonld ever be needed. HBomehow or other the speech seemed to mol- 1ify all harsh feclinge, and to creato a eentiment in’ favor of adjourning, The sentiment was heeded, and the Club adjourned fur one week. LIRD'S MASS-MERTING, Tho *grand mass-meeting of citizens oppozed to the continuance at Republican ruje' last evening was a grand faflure, there being leas than 100 people in Vorwaerta Turner-1lall, One- fifth of the inultitude were employes of Gen. Lich, hits fricnds having faaued the call, The General himsclf was present, but he re- puliated the eathering, and went home, An offort was made to induce Pat MceMannus 1u take the chair, but he aeclined. John Com- iskey was clected. e ekl he won)in't make n speech, anid then matie one, charging that the I(enuhhwm party was reapohieible for the fallure of the tate Savings Institution and for the col.

It can safely be stated thui no votes were maide for the present Counts Clerk, TWELFTII WARD REPURLICANS, A large mceting of the Repubticans of the Twelfth Ward was licld Inst evening nt the cor- ner of Madison and Robey streets, the object being to reorganize the Club for the coming campaign.

The very best men shoufid be nominated, heo urged, for all the oflices to be filicd,—men above reproach, for no other;class could poll the Republican vote. Mr. If, C. Noyes was next called for, and bricly spoke. He urged the importance of organization, and the necessity of nominating the very hest men for all the positions to bo tilled, diwelling especially upon the judiciary. Mr. McCoy was tho next speaker, £l bo- lleved that at the coming election the people would vote for men rather than partisans, and called attentlon to tho fact that several County Commissioners, clected ns_purtisans, were now on trial in the Criminal Court for enibezzling the county funds, The peoplo hiad had enough of such seryauts, and he did ot think that the Republicans could afTord to go into the coming canvass on the reputation of thelr party alone.

W. K. Sullivan, belng repeatedly called for, addressed the meetiug next. He spoke of tho recent labor excitement aud the fallure of banks, which, lic thought, would have an effect over the vatlng popuiation, and which would bo felt fn the coming election. The custow was tou genceral to blame the mn{ o power for all such ilsfortuncs, and Kepublicans should not lose slght of this.

Leach was the next-to- lowest bilder, and his figures were: Huffalo, Loumsville, Akron, and Utien, 842,530, and Port- Iand 45,446, There was much astonlsh- ment that the lowest hid should bn so much lower than any of tho others, and {t {s n mntter of history that the maker of that bid has not proved responsihle in yarious paving contracts herctofore awardeit to him. If the Committee should make the awand to him, Mr. Harrington would, in the oninfon of some persons, lind himself n a usiht place, for it would certaluly appear tbat, if responstble biddera could efford ta do the work for no lcas than £10,000 morc thun Mr. Harrington aake, Mr. 11. cannot expect to make anything If he fulfills the contract in 8 manner satistactory to the clty. And if the bid war put in (ns the al- legation gocr) for the purpose of wetting the contract only to sell it out, then the bidders are doubtless doomed to disappointment, for they have very nutch overshot the mark.

Ho then read from tho preceedings of othier canferences, held two years apgo, between the city and county to show that the city had nover agreed to build a dome, and further from the Council oroceedings of Aug.

On the other hand the Aldermen malntained that tho city had never mado any agreement with tho county of any kind that had any legal bearlng, but, on the contrary, all tiat 1t had doue was to adopt the exterior plana for the whole work, which had only been done a fow weeks ago, Mr. Fitzgerald suggested that thero was no need of talkiug any further, as It was apparcut that no agreement could bo reached, Mr, Van Osdel said the city-did not fntend to have a dome, nor would {t do even so much ns to put in the necessary materfal upon which to bulld a dome at any future time, notwithstana- Ing what the county might do, Mayor Heath catled the attention of theneet. fug to the tlucmou hofore it,—how the two buildmes could be unlted, If they wera to be united at all, Mr. Seono did not want the bulldings con- n;snte«l ot ally und Mr. Fitzgerald agreed with o, Architect Egan hoped the conferonce would not be {n vali, - Moderatlon was necessary, and some arrangement ought to be reachied to unite the two bulllings, clther by corndors or rotunda, and he hoped that the ¢!ty wontd put in the foundation for Its part of the dome at once.
