Meetings in the First, Second, and Eleventh Wards. GIVING THE *TIMIS” A ‘“S8TIFF.” Yesterday's Times contained a thrilling po- litleal jove to the effect that n number of members of the Boara of Trade, being dissatinfled with the candidacy of A. M. Wright, who was mot, in thelr eyes, the fitting man for ' the place bad declded to put up Mr. George L. Dun- 1ap as an opposition candidate for the position} and that this agreement hag been arrived at at o dinuer party held Saturday, at which time wero present, among others, Messrs, Hutchin. son, Charley Pope, A. L. Burt, Reed, Davis, and Whitney, This publication undoubtedly caused some surpriss to Mr, Dunlap whea he saw these individuals enzaged in thrusting nn unexpected office upon him, and also to Mr. Wright, who had counted the gentlemen mentioned above, or the majority of them, emong his firmest and strongest [riends. DBut both of them will cease to be surprised when they hear the explanation, and learn that it wos simply a iit- tle practical joke om the part of the * hoys,"—n putting up of & **stifl,” as [t is called {n the language of the vulgar, on the Times, They bod a llitle champagzne supper Baturday evening, at which they fell to dlscuss- ing the political situation, and, being all friecds of Mr. Wright, most of themn warm supporters of him, too, they began congratulating one an- other on the fact that all bis rivals hod hauled ofl,—had not been ablo to stand the pressure,— and that the newspapers, with all tfimlr bunting and searching, had been unable to find un]y man who professed his willingness to make the run ngalnst him. Finally, one of them satd: * Let us see {f wo cnonot play a joke on the Zimes and get them to publish the natme of somebody a8 a Board of Trade candidate in opposition to Mr. Wrigot. Then somebods else chimed in aflirmatively, and, tuinking over the lst of per- sons who had been named_ at oue time and an- other, suggested George L. Dunlap. They oil thought that would be very funnv—tbat noth. {ng could be more amusing than the idea of run- alug Mr, Dunlap as o Board of Trade candidate, sud so Pope and oue or two others went over to the oflicc of the Zimes, and roport of the proceedings fng to_ the effcct that, with Mr, Wr‘lfnt, the; tended to ut their _shoulders to the wheel, and have Mr. Duulap uominated in opposition to hhing that they were ready to furnish all the fn- fluence and all the mooey that was necessary; that the Board of Trado was antagonistic to Wright; and that Mr. Dunlap could be voted in with o hurrah. The joke was eminently sucs cessful. Nobody over at the Zimes percelved the absurdity of the’thing: nobody was around who was aware of the pceuliarly friendly rela- tions which he sustulned to Wright, and go they fell into the trap without the feast difliculty. The gentlemen were thanked for the importaut fotcllizence they had brought, nud went back to “conclude thelr party, waiting with impaticnce for the appearance of the following morning’s paper with this exclusive political Intelligence. It was crowdea out Bunday, but, much to their delieht, appeared yesterday morning, aud was the subject of great rejoleing among them on 'Chianee all day. It has shaken thelr fafth tu the futallibility of uewspapers, and it {s donbt- ful whether they will ever cease to crow over the way in which they played it on the ZTimes, It 1s surprising that nobody on that paper should have detected the cvident absurdity of the propusition. Me. Dunlap himself would be the fOrst nan fo see it e lLad ex- perience of ofllee onee Dbefore for o few weeks as City Marshal, aud would be ready to admit that he left the oflice with tar more pleasure than he took it, and that, tou, made a solemn of the meet. beluyi dissatisfled n - with n(ucllu;',v"umt his abilitics did not le ex-, actly fn_the direction of mnuoicipal administra- tion, 'The respousibilitles and labors devolving upon & Mayor are {ur more serious than those which ara the lot of a Marshal or Superintendent of Poliee, und it be got diszusted with cue oflive in four weeks, he would probably pet sufficient of the other in two days, 1t is well known also that Mg Dunlap, with all his ad- mirable qualities, Is not satisfactory to the rank-and-flle of ~ the Domocracy, who aro in tho -habit of stigmatizing™ blm as a “alll cking,"'—a man who doesn't drink bad whisky, andl who doesn't run with the - boya." 1t 8 nleo well kuown to those who know any- thing sbout Board-of-Trade matters that Mr. Wright fs personally popular with the great najority of the men ou 'Change—aven with those with whiom hie bas had differenices In otlier years. e Board-of-Trude men, and vspecially those present at the little purty Saturday evening, re- spect and like positive men,—ncn of angles,— men who hove views of their owsy, ond are not afrald to express them and stand up to them.

The Chalr remfndéd the Club that there were only three weoks st thefr command, He cons eldered the attendance at this first meeting very encouraging, As to the fears which had been oxpressed that the Club would drift entirely into the hands of the ‘Republican pariy, he thought members poed not worry mbout that matter. If the names given to the Club wero not good, thero woutd at once be a bolt. They had notblig to do with candidates, but united to select Ot and proper persons for delegates. Their sketches of thie delegates proposed at the' last election had been In great demund, and this year, with the oxtra funds at their command, they would be able to do much more. The Club then adjourned for one week. TIE PIATISTS. About seventy-fivo of the flatists invaded the restoursnt room of the Tremont [lousc last evening for the purpose of harmonlzing the factions known as the Maskell Hall and Madi- son street Qreenbackers. Judge Felch presided over the meeting with a stately digrity, which, however, failed to produco the deslred effcct, as’ the friendly move for “harmony was in- augurated by a long wrangle, which bad no definite causé, and subsided as quickly as is sprung up. 1t was finally declded to appoint o committee of three from each faction to snbmit o provosition for unfon. Messrs, Batley, Harta- an, Scanlan, Whittaker, Garrettson, and Jorcoran were chosen _as such commit. tee, snd they Immedfately retired to settle the questfon. Durlng thelr absence specches were made by most of those present. At the expiration of some two hours, the Com- mitteo roturned and reported that they were unable to sgrce. The pandemonjum that then ensued was {nflation with a vengeance, nnd the rospects for ‘*hannony " scemed poor {ndeed.
