Amongthe names was that ot Terrence O'Brie: Mr. Greeley objected to Mr. O'Brien’s name, for the reason that he had understood that he had votea the Democratic ticket Inst fall. D. K. Teuney suggested the name of Mr. Wit- Kowsky in place of 0'Brien. He had been in- formed that O'Bricn was a follower of Mike Evans, and if such was the case the Club conid ot afford to touch him. Mr. Hushes safd O'Bricn was a good worker, aud an honorsble, straightforward man, and, he believed. » good Republican. Mr. Sherwood said he lad seen Peter Page duriog the day, and that Le positively declined to allow his uame to be used in counection with the office of Alderman.

ELEVESTH WARD. - An adjourned meeting of the Eleventh Ward Republican Club was lield last evening at Mar- tine's Hall, the object of which was to consider certain statements made relative to the connec- tion of Ald. Throop with the ward and with the Gus Company. There was a large attendauce, and many of the most responsible citizens of the. ward were present. 3Mr. A. A, Bprarrue was in the chair. ‘I'he first business was td pass upon the reso- lution offered st a vrevious mecting Indorsing tbe able, honest, and mauly mavner in which Ald. Throop had represented the ward for two vears. Mr. Dan 3unn presented a eubstitute to the effect that the Ward teuder thanks to A G. Throop and A. B. Cook, for their faithtul serv- ices in the past as representatives in the Coun- off, and for their efficiency as Aldernien. in support of his resolution” Mr. Munn made a speeeh, which ended with the the request that the mectiog should listen to Mr. Throop in re- ply to the charyres made against bim. Volces were heard asking that the charges should be heard first, whereupon Mr. A. G. Lull, the one who was understood to have been diving deep down into the record of Mr. Throop, suggested that the name of the Mayor be added t0 e resolution which indorsed every act of the Aldermen. Mr. Grilfith asked that Mr. Lull produce his charees, Which he understood were in his pocket. Mr, Lull ald he had made no charzes against Ald. Throop. ' All he desired to do was to pre- sent his record and let it speak for itsetf. Some one sald, “Do you charze Ald. Throop !w(’lh being an owner of gas stock? Then prove it Mr. Lall Froposcd to go over Mr. Throop's record carefully, ard, after some bickering, he was permitted to take the floor, and it was quite evident that be meant to hold on to it while there was any fioor left. He produced several rolts of manuscript, which be deposited on the table, and then berun to read the records of the Cominon Council for the last two years from’ the printed official record, the point being to slow that Mr, Throop had_invariably voted in the interest of tne Gas Company. Af- ter reaging for about hall . an hour the ~agudience began to grow impaticat, and iruttentive, and noisy, and the noise was nggrevated by the sound of fiddles in the ball above. Many Buggestions and motions were made, and Mr. Lull went on peaceably reading puge ufter pare of Counil proceedings. Mr, Munn retired to » Jounge in the corner of the ball and went to sleep, or pretended to do s0, keepinr bis weather eye open, however. Mr. Lull's_readingz of the records was uot suf- fideutly effective to enlist the sympatbies of the assemblage, and it was kindly suggested that be go to work and make a. coum:usu% state- ment, wiving his own construction of Mr. Thbroop’s action In reference to the. gas compa- nies. Mr. Ellithorp moved that the whole matter be referred to a commitice to examine the docu- ments and n:})on. but the Chairman ruled the motion out of order. A motion to adjourn met with the same fate, 2s Mr. Lull cloimed the floor. Ar. Sherwood suggested that Mr. Lull con- dense his statements futo u -charge, and give Mr. Throop au opportunity to reply. Mr. Woodard said that 3ir. Throon bad heen under the imputation of votlug, vither jmno- rantly or dishovestly, in the interest of the Gas Company, and arainst the interests of the ci zens, aud he thought it was just to have the question settled riwht then and there. He wanted Ll to go aliead with his charges in Lis own way. i Mr. Lull went alone in his own way for some time, and every one who lud a watch began to look at the time, It was getting to be very ncar Sunday morning. ‘Then a l)mposmuu was made to give Mr. Laull till Wednesday to prepare his statemen snd Mr. Lull consented to yleld the floor Wednesday. A wotion to hear Mr. Throop vrevailed, and the Alderman came forward amid loud cheers to explain his position. He did so at great Jepgth, woing over the ground which had been beaten by the indefatizable Mr. Lull, and covering " a preat denl more. In effect be demied the imputation of any com- plicity - With gas companies. saying he had spent more money than Luli was ever worth to reduce the price of ras. He wanted the city to pay its ovligations to the Company, as he would want to sce avy individual discharge bis just debts. He said he had voted tor both the new companfes that had made proposals to the Councdl. Alr. Lull took o pote of that, and said he could show that he hadn’t doune anything of the kind. Clark Geib spoke up, and asked if the Alder- man_had ever voted for an ordinance to help the Eleventh Ward. Mr. Throan suid te was working for the city, and not for s ward, Mr. Gelb subsided. Mr. Throop continued to explain himself at great length, insisting that he had only taken the part of the Gas Company, when he saw that the city was dealiug unjustly with them. He was asked how many meetings of the Council be bad attended, and he explained that he bad only missed two ot them, wheo be went 10 the Centennial. More cross-examination en- sued, and eventually Mr. Throop was permitted to sit down. It being now aearly 11 o’clock, a motion to adjourn till Wednesday was weicomed. FIFTEENTH WARD. A meeting of the Fifteenth Ward Republican Club was beld last cvening at the corner of Willow and Dayton streets. On motion of Mr. G. A. Korn, the action of the Club at fts Jast meeting in renominating Ald. Waldo was unanimously indorsed. Mr. Gus Herbert offered 2 resolution calling upon Commiissioners Bocse and Burling to op- pose by their voices and votes the project to lease the abstract-books to orivate parties. Ac- tion on the resolution was postpoued until the next regular meeting, Ald, Waldo, candidate for re-clection, was called upon, and responded in a short speech. Tle hiad no pledges to make, belfeving his record was suflicient to show. that he had tried to do his duty faithfully. With the experience he had gained during the past t¥o years, he hoped to do more for the city aud the ward if he should be re-clected. There was ittle to hope foriil the way of public improvements this year, however, and nobody must expeet any promises. Ile haa heard fu said that if other men had been in the Council, the ward might bave bad an appropria- tion of $30,000 for sewers. He had recom- mended as large an .uppropriation as he could get, but the vote adopting that recom- tendation was reconsigered aud 75,000 ap- propriated for sewers in @ lump. Other wards, owing to the city’s embarrassed financial condi- tion, were just 2s badly off. He had' not sought nor desired the nomi- nation, but bud mercly consented - to serve only when other gentlemen had declined the Louor. If re-elected, he stould serve the city faithfully and honesdf. as he had done in the past. He had been called incompetent at a meeting of “citizens” Friday night, but the people who applicd the term to himwere people who had been seeking to use him and had faited. Thelr indignation was, perhaps, quite natural. He had no desire to curry favor with this class, but, if elected, he would work for the interests of thie witole ward, and not of any cligue. (Ap- plause.] EIGNTEENTH WARD. Tne Republican Club of the Eighteenth Ward met last vight in the North Siae Turner- Hall, for.the purpase of reorzaniziag for the coming election. Gen. Chetiain called the meetine to order, aud, o motion, appointed C. 1. Cragin, 0. W. Kiog, P. W. Blttinger, J. Kirk, and P. Almendinger a committce to m: nominations for permauent ofticers. While this comumittee was abscnt, Mr. Gregory moved to hayea committee of five appolnted to select delegates for the Town Convention, and report thieir names to the next meeting Mr. Washington Hesing moved as an amend- ment that the Club proceed at ouce to nominate delegates to the Town Convention, and vote singly on each nomination, ‘This amendment was carried, but the election postponed untit after the report of the Commit- tee on Nomination of Permanent Oflicers.

He would, however, recommend that the Club would nowinate Mr. James C. Brooks to be hi: successor: Mr. Petric nominated Mr. J. M. W. Jones for the officc of Alderman. After some cousiderable discussion as to whether Mr. Jones would consent to be a candidate or not, a stand- {ug vote was had on the two nowinees, which resulted in 51 votes for Mr. Brooks and 43 votes for Mr. Jones. The former was then uvani- mously declared to be the candidate for Alder- man of the Club. After passing the ususi vote of thauks to the retirine oflicers of tue Club, and also to Ald. Kirk for Lis servicesfn the City Council, the meeting adjourned. NOTES. The Republican State Central Committee will not call the State Convention for some time yet, probably not until Juue. A long cawnaign is not deemed advisable. It s vot unlikely that onc of the candidates of the Greenback party, which bolds its couvention at Springtield this mouth, will be indorsed by the Republicans. The friecnds of Mr. A. C. Kuopf, of the Thirteenth Ward, beld a meeting in_ his behalf 43 o candidate tor Alderman last night 1n Beuz's Tall, West Lake street, near Robey. 'Fhe at- tendance was very large, and representative in ckaracter. Mr. . Z. Cowles and others made specches, after which the meeting adjourned. Chris Mamer, the Scerctary of the West Town Republican Central Committee, yesterday issued what purported to be a call for” the Town Con- vention, to meet in Billings’ Hall on the 25th iust. As the Chairman, Mr. Hildreth, re- fused to sign the document, and said it was zotten up without bis having been consulted, by the Secretary, it must go for vaught and a new and oflicial call made, duly signed by the Chairman of the Comumitice, or some onc cise authorizea by him. DEMOCRATS, ETC. SIXTEENTIL WARD. A mecting of the Sixteenth Ward section of the Democratic Leazue was held last evening at No. 835 Larrabee strect, Mr. A. C. Story presiding. The objeet of the gathering, which was extremely limited as to numbers, was to nominate un Alderman and to select delegates to the Town Convention, subject to the primary to be held Tuesday cvening at No. 58 Clybourn svenue. The names of several gentle- men, includivg Michael Brand and F. P. Pea- body, were mentioned for Alderman, but their friends stated with all positiveness that they would wot consent to rmo. Then it occurred to everybody that it was exccedingly doubtful whether they could get a good man who would aceept the honor, or who, if he accepted the nomina- tion, could be elected. There was some talk of waiting and scefpg what the Citizens' Uuian_ would do at its meeting Tuesday evening at the corner of Sigel and Scdgwick streets. Finally, the nomination of a candidate for an Alder- manic seat was postponed temporarily, and the meeting devoted itself to the sclection of dele- gates to the Town Convention to be held vext Wednesday. The following were chosen: Jobu M. Collins, Joseph Kline, Martin Doyle, Ni Guertin, Fred Schreiber, Martin Ifuells, Will- fn Skitz, Arnold "Trivp. But Col. Voss was not willing to drop the subject of nominating an Alderman. ile wmentioned the vame of Martin Huells for the office, and moved the uappointment of a Committee o walk ucross the street und ask lun it he would run. The mo- tion was carried, aud the Committee tool walk. It didw’t take them Jong to bring bac word that Mr. Huells was not willing to serve. As he expressed bimselt to the Gomumittee, he “couldu't speak Englich well, and wasn's going down there to tie City-flall to make a fool of himself.”? Finally, to et out of the ditlicnity, o comumittee of three, covsisting of Messrs. Voss, Suliivan, avd Collivs, was appointed and instructed to in the dual capacity of a Printing Committee and a Committee to peddle the emuty bonor wround the ward, see if any reputable person wouid run, and put his pame on the tickets to be voted for at the primary.

A few re- ports were received by Mr. Crowley regarding the nomination of Aldennanic candidates in the wards. After Tuz TRIBUNE reporter had been Qisposed of,—bounced,—John Mattocks gotup o little love-feast, which, as judicated by the patent reportorial telephone, did not amount to anything worthy of publication. ‘THE WEST TOWN Democratic City Central_Committee met last evening at Richards’ Hall, No. 119 Halsted street, and, with. the inducement of 'a well- stocked bar in front of them,and a glorious Iree lunch in a room in the rear, they proceed- ed quickly to business, and as quickly fin- 1shes it. It was first ag cc(? that all the wards should mominate Aldermen at the primarics, but the Tenth Ward alonc is to make the nominations at the ward club meeting. This is understood to be a move of the henchmen of C. C.P. Holden, and calenlated to remore all competition at the primarics. It was then ogreed thatall the candidates should pledze themselves to support the ticket, and not bolt under any circumstances. Thomas Courtney Was next elected to the chair, and C. B. Bartlett to the Secretaryship, and with this arrangement the meeting elected men to attend the primaries. The Club then adjourned to the beer and lunch, the former at the expense of the Aldermanic candidate. 1N BRIEF. The Fourth Ward Democrats held a meeting last c\'enlns at 1636 Wabash avenue, ond nom- inated DeWitt C. Leach as their candidate for Alderman. ‘Tbe Sixth Ward Democratic and Beneficial Club bas nominated Thomas Grithin, a liquor- dealer, as its candidate for Alderwmaun, subject to the primary election. g The Natfonals were to have rallied at No. 130 Canalport avenue lust night, but only one rep- rescntative responded to the call. He engaged in a friendly game of seven-up with the land- lord of the saloon in which the meeting was not held, and it was understood that another at- tempt at o meeting wonld be made Tuesday evening. —————— NEW ENGLAND AND THE WEST, To the Editor of The Tribune. Crricaco, March 16.—Allow me to thank you for the ringing words in this (Saturday’s) paper in your article headed *Ncw England and the West.” Your embhatic Declaration of Inde- pendence has the ring of the true metal (sitver, if you please), and will call forth the hearty “Amen” of the great body of the people of the West. The soaner that New Engtand learns that the West is of age and has set up business for itself, and will no Ionger be led and governed by New Eneland’s orders, the better it will be for all coucerned. Apropos to this silver heresy cant, allow me to _tella little story: A few days azo o man bolding the long-past-due paperof some New England men called upon one of them to try to get *something™ on vit, but nothing could be hud. In the course of conversation the debtor denounced the silver dollar gs a swindle and a fraud, aud os only being & $-cent dollar, ctc. The creditor offered to take 25 cents on the dol- Jar on this New England man’s paper, but could ot get it If this man isa specimen of New Englaud, good Lord deliver me from them! Go on, Mr. Editor; continue to strike your well-dirceted blows for the oid_silver doflars, fraudulently demonetized 1n 1873, and remone’ tized Ly the will of the people of the West in 1878, CROMWELL. e A CORRESPONDENT ANSWERED. Acnora, Til., March 16.—Several of us in this part of the country desire to have our clothing made in Chicago. Our object in so doing s to secure the latest styles and a perfect fit. We have noted from time to time the advertise- ments of Chicago tailors, which read as follows: “Twenty per cent discount oa all orders re- ceived within the next thirty days,’ cte. Now, it seems impossible for a merchant who would be satisfied with o moderate profit to be able to offer such inducements at certain times, and we consequently doubt the genulneness of these statements. What we want is a - first-class tailor in every respect, who wiil be satisfied with an origzinal profit of 15 or 20 per cent, and ns- sure us of the Iatest styles and a perfect fit. ug directing us to such & party you will greatly oblige a number of constant readers. Answer—Partics desirous of baving their mar- ments made to fit perfectly and stylishly by a first-cluss tailor at a moderate price, will do well to call on Mr. H. 8. Newton, No. 36 West Madison street. Mr. Newton makes suits for a large number of Chicazo’s leadiny citizens, and mistits ordissatisfuction in regard to priceis a thing unknown to anybody who patronizes hita. i ot A CAMPAIGN SLANDER. When Dr. R. V. Pierce wasa candidate for State Senator, his politicsl opponents published a pretended analysis of his popular medicines, hoplag thereby to prejudice the people aguinst him. His election by an overwhelming mujori- ity severely rebuked his traducers, who sought to impesch his business integrity. No notice would have been taken of these campaign lics were it not that some of his enemies (and every successful business man has his full quotaof envious rivals) are republishing these Logus analyses. Numerous and mostabsurd formulas love been published, purporting to come from high authority; and it is a significant fact that no two have been at all alike—conclusively proving the dishonesty of their authors. —————— A CAPITAL ARRANGEMENT. We arc ioformed that the Illinois Central, ‘Beltimore & Olio, Michizan Central, Lake Shore, and Rock Island, stop all their trains now at Twenty-second strect, as well as the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago and St. Louis & Alton on Archer avenue, to accommodate people go- ing to Ogden, Ablewhite & Co.'s for clothing.
