THE NORTI SIDE. EIGHTEENTIL WARD. The Eizhteenth Ward Republicas Club met at Turner-lall last evening, A. G. Burley inthe chai The attendance was very large. The first business was Lo appoint 3 committee of five to nominate sisteen pevsons from.whomn clzht should be eelected as delegates to thé Con- fonat Cgnvention. to be voted for at the nary election Saturd be motion vrevailed. he ballor.ng 1or th delegates oceupied cou- derable time. and was attended with the usual confusion, and the counting was even more tedion The tediousuess. however, was re- lieved by a discnssion brought about by a mo- tion of to appoint a committee of one from eacih precinet to investizate the char- acter of the candidates presented for the several oflices to te filled this fall. Mr. Hesing waated to know whether the pro- posed ¢ ce was to be 8 permanent, affar. Mr. Collyer said he had Jheen on a similar committee fast fall fu looking aiter the charac- ter of candidates for Commissioners, and that he had looiied and inquired especially after Meyer, aud. while all the reports were that he was an honest, reputable wum, the sequence had proved that he had been deceived. It such acommitice was to be apvointed he asked, as wial fuver, to be excused from serving I'ne motion was adopted. Mr. Mullikin movea the appointment of a cemmittee of three to apooint the committes of mne to report at the next meeting of the Club, and the motion prevaiied. The Chairappointed Messrs. Mullikin, Hesing, and Willing as the Cummittee. At this juncture of the proceedings the tellers announced the result of the election for candi- dates tor delegates as foliow Messrs, J. S, hirk, C. K. Larraoce, A. Keith, G. S. Car- William _Floto, Richard Lotholz, 1, E. B. Preston. Afrer this the Ciub adjourncd, and, so far as could be learned, notwithstanding a special ef- fort was made to the contrary, the candiuates adopted ns delerates are aaverse to Mr. Bren- tano for re-clection. Those who preaume to Know gay that out of the cight caudidates for delegates selected he uly certaio ot one, and 10 1o event cau he reccive more than two votes. It was intimated, however, that Mr. Brentano would run one or more independent delezate tickets, and in this event no one can foreteli the result. FIFTEENTH WARD. The Republican Club of the Fifteenth Ward held a meeting last evening at Folz's Hull, 3r. Henry Engeltiard, the President of the Club, in the chair. The Committee en Constitution and By-Laws submitted its report, which was adopted. It was. decided to hold the regular meetings of the Club on the second and fourth Saturdays of cach month. On motion, it was decided to hold a special meeting Friday evening at the saume place. Prof. Kistler, of Evanston, candidate -for member of Congress, was calicd upou for a specch. He said tbat {t was not often that he met with such an assembly as that, yet he wanted to congratulate them on’ this success in harmonizing their two clubs in order to make 2 uaited fight. He nad always been a Republican, and Republicanism was destined to always keep its supremacy. Russia had as ‘much local sovereienty as we had, but had no natfonal sovercignty; but there was where we differea from monarchies. Democracy had always tried tobreak down natiovul sovereignty it yvas, therefore, their boly duty to use the utmost efforts to keep the Republicans in the gscendancy. They must uot be deterred from wheir duty by the Democratic ery of *‘Stop » They must pu forward as candidates their best inen,—men_ahove s on.—and then there will be no ditliculty in achieving 2 grand vietory. .

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONMMITTEE Beld a mecting in the committec-room at the Grand Pacitic Hotel yesterday afternoon shortly after 20%clock. A majority of the members were on hand, and a pretty larze representation of active party men occupied the lobby. Mr. G. M. Couch was called to the chair, and stated that the object of the meeting was to Jix the time for holding the primaries and the Convention. - - ‘On motion, the Chair appointed John Luson, M lorse, and M. A. Farwell to confer with the Congressional aud Senatorial Comauttee as 1o thie time of callme their primarie Mr. Cotlins theught the’ County Committee should fix the dates and let the others follow. Atter some further talk, Mr.J. A. Lebrun moved that the primaries be held Saturday, Sept. 23, ana the Convention on the Juth, and it prevailed over an amendment fixing other dates. ‘Tbe Committee also decided to hoid the city primaries_trom 4 10 7 D. m., except fn the Twelfth Ward, where tne polls will be open from Sa. m.to7 o, In the country towns the time was fixed at 3 . 1. to 7 p. m., and the Bour for the Convention at 12 noon. 7“2 resolution requesting the Senaterial Com- mittecs to kold their prunaries at the same time was adopted. .

FIAT-MONEY CIHAPS. SECOND CONGRE: 1. DISTRICT CONVENTION. The fiat-money fellows of the West Side held their Congressional Couvention at Maskell Halt The circular calling the pow- last wow, epecified 7:30 as the hour of get- ting to work, but nobody cvér heard of a political caucus petting together on time, The “big Ingins” of the party had resolved that the Couvention should be as wuch as pos- free from outsile influences and to sceure this end wisely arranged 2hat none should have admission to the hall un- fess provided with the requisite ticket.

The sufferings and distress of the peopic have assumed such a wmagoitude as to be no longer borne. ‘The caust is the un- just lewislation which was made by the few for ieir benefit as azainst the zood of the manv. Our industries_are prostruted, our manufacto- ries are closed, workingmen are turned into tramps, property i destroved, and all this is for the benefit of the money power. In En- gland fo four years, between 1519 and 1823, the. land-owners were reduced from 100,000 to 40, 000. The same is beiug done in this countrv. Having delivered himself of the forezoing Lar- rowine details, Judwe Felsh surgested that the Conventien proceed to *biz.” During the absence of tlie various committees which had been appointed, the wait Lecame very ifksome, and there weie loud calls for speakers. Dr. W, J. W.

GETTING TO WORK. The Credential Committee reported, and the Secretyry called the roll, to which, with two or three exceptions, the delegates answered. The Committec on Permauent Organization reported in favor of C. J. Bestty, of fhe Twelfth, as Charman, T. Mahouy for Secre- tary, and a siting of Vice-Uresi The report was adopred. A mouon to proceed to batlot for a _Congres- sional nominee was rapturousiv carricd. ‘Tom Kavanagh. who represented a committee of fifteen appointed ot a meetine held in the Halsted Opera-lHouse, wunted to nddress the Convention. They suspected he canie from the Kehoe headquarrers aud wouldu’t have it. M Kavanagh smiled malicious! aid the party would 1 the votes of those whom i vepre- ented, aud then retired. Kavanagh had with him a docunient reciting that, at a meeting of laborinz men held on Friday evenine at the Halsted-Street Opera- House, it was resolved that the wprkinemen of tne Eighth, Eleventh, and Fwelith{Wards would not suppore any Jawver or banker as u candi- date for Congress, and asked that the elaims of Miles Kehoe, the workingmen’s friend, shoutd be kindly considered. Nominattons bemg in ere sugeested: James Fei Ward: C.d. Beatty. ol the Tw Goodhue, of the Thirteenth; and of the 7eeyranh. AMr. Beatty declined. as he bad no monty to end in the canvass. Mr. Goodhue couldn’t e it, and Mr. Norton was withdrawn by 2 triend. The nomination of Mr. Felsh was thereupon made unanimous. After the applause nad sub- sided, the blustering candidate mounted the rostrumn, returned thanks lor the honor con- ferred, and drew a picture of the future great- ness of the Fiat party toat would have done honor_ to ‘wildest enthusiast after . pro- lonixcd opnun smoke. Mr. Felsh said he dig not seck the nomina- ion; he had no political desires, but he woukd t for the princiole fuvolved. e was willing 0 be slaughtered. 1f he thought be could be elected he would not accept the nomination. Tie did not want any votes. All he was going to do was to make encroachments on the other pariics, and ssir things quite lively, so that the next eandidate should have a watkawayv. Mr. Felsh closed by again thanking the Convention tor the honor conferred. On motion, the followine Congressional Com- mittee was appointed: William Madden, Seventh Ward; J. 1 Wegel, Eighth; Henry Little- tield, Ninth; William Murray, Tenth; George W. Collins, Eleventn; C. J. Beatty, Twellth; Thomas Madden, Thirteenth; C. P. Joues, Fourteenth; P. J. Boucher, at larze. John 8. Thomas, anotner coloréd Cicero, was callea on for a speech, and responded brietly in adv’amcy of the nominee and the Fiat party gen- erally. Maj. Camp, not a delegate to the Conven- tion but a member of the National.Greenoack- Labor party, asked_permission to address the Convention, which being accorded, he suzeested that o reason should be given for the summury rejoction of the petition in favor of Miies Kehoe. because the Nativnal party canuot afford to antagounize votes. The Chair wanted to know whom Maj. Camp represented. ‘The Majorstruck & theatrical attitude and said he represented his party. He had azhieved aun honorable record at the State Couvention at Springficld, and was known as a thorough-paced Greenbacker. **Great God, ~Mr. Chair- man, is it le that Miles Kehoe can come here and ask for indorsemcut at the hauds of the Greenback party. {le never can eet my support, and I don’t believe the Green- backers will take him up.” ‘A delewate—This speceh is out of order. Another delegate—I've got a headache, aud don’t want to hear any more noise. ‘The Chair—Allow the wentleman to- proceed. The Major proceeded ina very excited nan- uer. and reiterated that he was 2 good Green vacker, and then closed by usking " the pardon of the Couvention, whereupon the matter was dropped. Subscquently the Chair and the Major had a little confab, after which the former sugzested that the thing should be fixed so that no votes be untazonized. Mr. Cooper said that the Nationals had tioth- ing to do with the Halsted strect party.
