SIXTEENTH WARD, THE DEMOCRATIC Lyt~ of the Bixteenth Ward held a meeting last even- ingg at Blelme’s 1all, No. 65 Clybourn avenue, Mr, John McCue In the cialr, Col. Arno Voss fiated that the object of the meeting was to nominate s candidate for Alderman, e wanted to know what the Committee appaluted to con- fer with the Republicans fn regard to a Joint nomination had done, ‘Ihe Seerebury vead o letter from the Repub- liean Central Comunitice of the ward, fn which it was stated that the Committee could not in- dorse any of the names suggested by the Demo- cratie Club, If the name of Ald. Echweisthal Dad heen submitted, It would have been favorably considered. The Commnitiee was conslderably cmbarrassed by the uction of Col. Schaftuer in nominating Mr, Willlam Stewart a8 cawdidate for Alder- man, Although Mr, Stewart had not accepted yot, 1he publiclty given to the matter wmight foree him to run. In view of these facts, they Al not consider 1t advisable to place any of the natnes proposed on the Republican ticket. A Jong debate ensued, durlng which Col. Sehnfiner was eeverely censurcd for his alleged bad faith towards the Democrats, und hopes wera oxpressed by muny of those present that Ald. Schiwelsthul Do renominated, while Messrs, Brachtendorf nnd Bariels violently opposed it. My, Mat Brand, one of the men nominated at he last meeting, sald ho would withdraw s name In faver of Mr. Schwelsthal, but It was clalmed he had no right o withdraw fn favor of any one.- Mr DBurtols enid thero wns ~ a desiro on the port of some partles to bulidoze them fnto nominating Mr, Behwelsthnl, whom the Demo- crata did not want nguin, Col, Voss thought that My, Bartels meant to refleet on him, but ho was barkimg up the wrong tree. The Republicans had mado nse of n leritimate right. ‘Yhie Democrats must elther present the name of o man satisfavtory to thy Lzpublicans, or they must act iudependontly of e Republicans altogether, Alr. McConnell, Chsirman of the Republican Ceutral Committee, who was presont, stated that Mr. Stewart had peremptorily declined, 1l had seen Mr, Scliweisthal, who dld not want. the oftice, but who would make the run if Jointly nominated by both {mrllus. Ho had tomao to state that the Rupublicans would sup- port Sehiwelsthal 3 but if bo was not nominated '.v the Demuocerata the itepublicans would slinply take o vomination from thelr own ranks, awd thint mignt result fn the election of n Sociudlst, Tho opponents to Ald, Schwefsthal sufd fhey would rather have a Socfulist than Mr, Schiwelstial, and Mr, Bariols clafmed that Sehiweisthal was not.a Democrat ut all, and if they vomiuated such u man they had beltor qult. : A motion to put the nameof Ald, Schwelsthal 0 pincs of that of Mat Beand was maile, Mr. Bartels moved to lay the motlon on the tuble, which was carried by one mujority, Dr. Sheppera stated that hie had been told by aomg ol the Republicans to have a littlo pa. tlence, and they onght to walt awhile befure tukinw any decisive sctlon, A vecess of biabf aw hour was then taken, Upon reassembling, the Committee npoolnted by the Republican Club made its uppear- auco and reported, stating that Ald. Schwelsthnl hind been nominated by the Republicans, and asking that the Demoerata indorse the nomina: tian of Mr. Schwelsthal, who had herotofore neted with the Demoerats wud whose nowlngs tion was a concesalon to the Democrats, Dr. Bhepnerd, who had been the favorite of the Demacraty, stated that be had heen drawn inta s figghse by the clattus mude that ke would i the ehiofes OF both parties, but since the Repud- lienus bud nominated Mr. Schweisthinl, and In order to secure hurmony, he would withdraw his nume. [Applisre.] Mr, Jartely, who for somo reason or other had fought Mr, Schwefsthol, sgufn made a wpecel ogainst that gentlemnn, — One of thy reasons assizied for his oppositlon was that he had not contributed enough money on former oeeaslons Lo the Domoertle campnlen fund. Mr. McConnell, of the Ropublican Commitice, stated that Mr. Echwalsthat had not soueht the ofllee, nnd only consonted toserve ultor themost praminent Democrats had urized him to becoma o candidnte. 'The Republicans wmeant, however, to run Mr. Seliwelsthel whother he was fudursed by the Demovrats or not. After some further debate, Dr, Sheppers moved that the Democrats nominate M Benwelsthnl, which motion wi On motion of Mr. Iartels, rofuse to colnelde with the R s luld on the table, It was decided to epublicans n Mr. .Behiwelsthal's nomination, by u vote of seven to sixy ouly thirteen persons halng present, L ol Arno \!n! Dr, Bhoppers, nml several thiers of tho better class of Democrats, were decldedly disgusted with the behavior of Mr. Tartols ind his six adnerents, und they with- drew from the meoting Mr, Benetitendord?, one of those who had fousht Schwelsthal, then proposed to the mx remaining porsons that they indorss the Soclal- {stie candliate, but a moton to adjonrn eut oft further uctlon, wnd the vallant Democrats re- tired greatly demornlized, As the two most yrominent Democratie candidates—Dr, Shappers il Mat Brawd—decline to_run ngainst Mr. Behwelsthal, it is hardiy probable that the Deme oerats will mnuke an independont nomtuation, . THB REFUMLIOAN CLUN of the ward held s meoting last evening at ¥, Jdteerer’s, No, 410 North syenue, Geu. Louls Senuiluer in tho chalr, My, Hettinger, of the Couference Committco on tho Belectlon of an Alderman, stated that they could not come to an agreement with the Demoerats, Mr. Willlam Btewart, whio had been nomiuated ut the previous mecting, decned 10 ruy, und they therefors rccommunded that the Club wuke “u strufght Republican nomina. tlon.
