THE REPUBLICAN CLUB of the Eighteeath Ward held a meeting last night in Lower Turncr Hall. There were about 400 members in attendauce, and Mr. E. C. Larned, the President, was in the cbair, and Mr. W. G. Goodrich was Secretary. After the usual preliminary businessbad been transacted there was a call for the report of a committee appointed a week ago to confer with a committee of the German-American Club of the Eighteenth Ward, with a view to consolida- tion of the two orgamzations. Tue Committee hat no conference had yet been held. Mr, moved that the above-mgntioued Cominittee be instructed to perfcet a plan for block-orzanization, each block m the ward to be canvassed and a list of the voters made. The motion was carried. Repeated eries for * Hesing ™ having been made Mr. Wash Hesing rose and. suid that since the subject of aunion of the German-Ameri- ‘an Ciub and the so-calied Eigiiteenth Ward Re- puvhean Club had been Dbroached, be would suagest that the Hon. Lorenz Brentano, the cut of the former Club, be requestzd o k upon the objects, ete., of that organiza- tion. 5 Mr. Brentano complied, and said that the ob- ject of that organization was to help to lect he best men to ofiice, and to that end co-ope ate with all the Republicans of the ward. T 2 he Germans—had uo independent. motives and had organized by themselves because man: in fact, most of the” members of the German Ciub had an indisposition about addressing the Club m the Engiish tongue, tor they could not so clearly express their thousrhts and ieas. e affirmed that the German Club entertai the most friendly regard for the Eighteenth Ward Club, and deplored that there ever had beeu a breach between the Germans aud Americans. Iowever, all these differences had been burie and forgotten, and he hoved that the two 1 tionalities would herester pull together with the «reatest harmony for the realization of their wishes,—the clection of the best men. Nl could not refrain from saying a Work coucerning the Farwell Hall meeting, and the movement which placed the nomivation of County Commssioners for the North Side in the hands of tairteen men.* He did not entér into the spirit of that side-issue, and could not see why the Republicans should go outside of their own ranks to find men worthy to represent the people. 'There were pleuty of good Repub- Ticans. and plenty of yotes to elect them. Then why not have Republicans? There had been in this city too many reform movements, with their disastrous results, and no onc could be held responsible for_the disasters. If the Re- publican party elected its own nominces, the Republican party became respousible for the conduct of the men elected. If the Republican 3 nominations, there was time enoughafterwards to make some new arrangements. In closing, the .speaker again urgeldl independent action on_the part of tne Kepublicans, and melw cd a majority of a £00d 10,000 votcs. [Appluuse. Mr. Crogin then moved that the German- American Ctub of the Eighteenth Ward be in- vited to unite with the Eighteenth Ward Re- ublican Club, and that they be assured that alf of the speeches be in the German tongue. A member moved as an amendment_ that_the Citizens’ Union also be asked to join the Eight- ecenth Ward Club. Another mewmber pronosed the Union League; avotner the Scandinavian- American lub of the Eighteenth Ward; another the Irish-American Clud, and amend- ments followed thick and fust, tll Mr. Gregory moved, as a substitute for all the motions, that caci and every one of the Republican i tions of the various uationaltics be cordiy vited to unite with, mect with, and work with the Eighteenth Ward Republican Club. Discussion was temporarily cut off by repeat- ed cries for Hesing, aud 3R, A. C. HESING stepped forward and said that, having been re- peatedly requested to address the “Republican Club of the ward inwhich he lived, he made bold to ndaressthe meeting. It appeared to Dhimw that many persons were of the opinion that the German Kepublicans effected orzauizations with motives antagouistic to those of the En- elish-speaking Kepublicans. Thiat was not so. The contrary was the case. There was and would be tlie greatest unity of purpose :nd har- mony of sentiment. Those who were best ac- quatited with German Republican_orzanization Lnew that the intents and results of that | organization had always beeu for the best inter- ests of the good cause. This bad been so ever since_the Fremont campaien in_ 1856, when the German Republicans were first independ- ently organized. At that time the results of their movement—their work—was met with no snickering remarks. When in yearsiZone by, and after the Democrats bad_carried the ol Seventh Ward, the Republican Germuns had or- ‘unized, and it was unJoubtediy to the eredit of that organization that the Republican majority of 250 votes had been obtained where, thereto- fore, the Democrats had ruled with a mnajority 700 strong. He regretted to sec a citizens' movement in the nomiuation of & County Com= missioner ticket. He knew what the results of such movements had been in years gone past. In 1869 David A. Gage was elected as ogainst the regular Republican candidate, and- though it had been said that the soeaker was responsible for it, he was not to blame, and he furthermore ‘was not to be held acconntable for many political dlabolisms that had been laid away in history 4 in association with hisname. He was not re- sponsible for the movement that had installed David A. Gage and George Von Hollen. He once undertovk the control of acitizens' move- ment, and while it wos 8 5ugcgss, inasmuchasits tandilates were elcted, he “was bound to con- fess that 2 worse abortion bad never been per- etrated in political malpractice. 1f the Repub- Jican party had not within its ranks enough zood men to fill the oflices to pe filied, it was not tit 10 live and ought to die. He would warn those worthy and doubtless well-meaning vitizens who wore, engaged in the citizens’ movement. to nominate County Conmissioners, that they Would repent__ their * present = movement, and Dhe would say ‘that .he and - the paper he in part represented would not jend fts support to any man who wus nov_satisfactory to every Republican in tho Eightcenth Ward. Heasked: ~Would the Democratic Cgnvention aceept twwo Republicans in placing in flomination five men for the offices of Connty Commissioners? Would the Regub- lican Convention take in_ two Democrats? No! And in answer to the laiter question, empbat- jenlly, No! Did Republicans want to vut more Dentocrats in the County Board? That body was now Demovratic throughout, with the ex- ception of perhaps oue Republican, who was us ‘bad as the other members of the Board. Should ot the Repubiicans be beard at allin the matter of us ng of taxes and the paying out of the Public motieys? ‘Iuc appointment of the coui- Inittee of thirtcen wasa mistake, and the allezed philanthropy behind its appoiutment a fallacy of judgment. When there were three tickets in he Tield there was danger. The Republicans woutd make u ticket, the Democrats would - do ike- wise, and_were “the Citizens” to il a tic! lican ranks would be divided and he Democrats would win, for they always hit and 25 often a8 they could. Asain deprecating the nomination of ajestizens’ ticket, hie closed his re- tuarks by urging blovk-orgunization us the ouly liope of success, and he referred to past experi- ence as examples of the value of such prepara- g tious. Mueh applauso followed Mr. Hesin'gs re- marks. The subject of co-operation was then resumed, ana Mr, Gregory renewed his motion to request a consolidation of all the Republican Lodies in the Ward. : “This called up the question_of what constitu- tuted membership of the Eighteeuth Ward Club, and various opitions were cxpres: d by Mesars. James MeMullen, Gregory, Washing ton Hesing, aud others. 1t appeared that thie Club had ho mewbership roll, and after a deal of cxplanation concerning Mr. Gregury’s mo- tion, it was finally untlerstood that “all Repub- Ticuns in the ward were entitled to all the priv- ilewes of membership, and on that understand- jng 1he motion was passed. Mr. Pehee further moved that the poll-list of the last primary election be considered the mempership roll of the Club, and that those who ¢id not votc then hund in their names, and thut sl be considered members of the Club. Carried, and the meeting adjourned. NINTI WARD REPUDL The Republican Club of the Ninth Ward met at Parker Hall last evening, W. 1L Thompson, the President, in the chair.

Clough said he understood there was enough in the treasury to run the Club until next May, and wished to kunow where it was. ~Quite a commo- tion followed, and it was ascertuined thut many who had subscribed had not paid up. The matter was then deferred in the ausence of the Treasurer.

Tate thought the resolutions cmanated from the Times office. Remarks were madein their favor by J, H. Clough, Mr. Jayne, H. W. Tenner, C. C. Tick, and othiers. The clause thut all taxes were ultimately paid by the workinzmen seemed to be objectionable, and Mr. Teney characterized it as a statement interpolated to catch the la- boring clusses. 4 Mr. Carter was in favor of being liberal to the. workinzmen. He thought the chief burden fell on them, and urged the adoption of the reso- Tutions a5 proposed. The resolutions being finally passed, Mr. Rosenthal, who had votefd in favor of the reso- Jutions, immedistely moved for a reconsidera- tion, Llc thought the resolutions were coward: Iy, o5 the © hupccunious newspaper concern ™ wasin good condition and stroux Republican, and the purty who was simed at had no relation to the paper. He therefore hoped the part of the resolution referring to the newspaper would be recousidered. Mr. Mer: wras in favor of reconsideration, ana urged his views in energetic languuge. Mr. Rosenthal again alleged that the resolu- tions were cowardly. The paper reférred 1o was ihe Staats-Zeltung, and it had done the party no harm, but on the contarry, good. The resolu- tions wonld cost mavy German votes. “After nearly an hour’s talk the vote adopting 4he resolutions was reconsidered. Tl. C. ‘Cate moved to have the resolutions io- definitely postponed.

He said he bad laughed over it bimself, and with this bigh recommendation from ope in the trade I took it home. Well, the e art of love, according to Pierre, is sim- ply the development of the old patural instincts P sclfishness, cowardice, treacbery, aud falgty of every description to thelr fallest capacity. And it isamusing. He shows us what scoun- drels we all are, with the lightest, the happicst touches.
