S. Al- bright, No. 705 West Monroe street, for the purpose of taking steps to Insure the nom- ination of a Presidential candidate other than ex-President U. 8. Grant. Among those presont were Messrs. II. H. Rice, W. K. Sul- livan, Homer Galpin, W. LI. Beebe, Ald. J 'T. Rawleigh, D. L Hough, J. W. Fenald. Col. Whitney, 8.8. Gardper, G. Newcomb, ‘Alexander White, KR. ¥. Willisms, W,. TL. French, J.

The meeting. was called to order by Col, object was, per- haps, to nominate a ward ticket to the Goun- ty Convention, perlinps to express Its prefer- ence for the next President of tho United States, on which question he understood there was some division amongstthem. Not- witstanding this, ho believed they should and would unite together on some solid basis. His Idea was that the Republican party nead- ed this fall to put forward Its strongest man, Tf any one figured out the vote, he would sec that. the Republican candidate, to be success- ful, must carry New York. It wasn good thing for them to come together and consult about, ns the very life of the Nation was in- ole Je tho outcome of the next Presiten- election. ‘On motion, Col. DL. Hough was called to ‘the chair, and Mr. W. H. Beebo was appointed Secrotary of tho mecting. Mr, W. K. Sullivan, belng called upon fer a fow remarks, sald that. whitever the object of the meating, he stipposed there was one thing upon which all were united—and that was the fact that it was not desirable to nominate ‘Gen. Grant for a third tenn. They might have personal preferences outside of Cen, 'Grant; hisSpersannl choice was for Mr. Washburn, and after him alniost nny" other ‘of the Republicans mentioned as candktates, with the slugie exception named, We might, in fact, preter somo of these to Mr. Wash- -burne from the fact that that kentleman had not come out as a candidate, Mr. Wash- durne seemed to he in favar of Gens Grant, anda yote given to him might simply be a vote in disguise for Grant. If Mr, Wasti- burne had come out n inonth ago, independent of Gen. Grant, and snid thet he was on candidate, in the spenker's judmment, he would already have secured the nomination, but his chances now were not so good as if he had taken the bolder position. ‘The matter of the third term wis one of ranaclones with « good many who, although they did not fear tht Grant would become 1’ dietator, endangering the Hiberties of tho country, at the samy time did not want to establish a precedent, feeling that {t would be n very dangergs legacy to bequeath to their children, arid’ children’s children, ‘Tho State of Thnols was over. whelmingly for Blaine, not only in the rnral districts, but In the civ.

W, iH. Bevbe, Kk. E. Jenking, and Alexander White aS representing tho Washburne Interest, and Messrs. J.D. Hveratt, J. F. Lawrence, and J. fy Rawleigh as representing the Blaine In- jerest. In the debate whieh preceded the passa: sof theresolution Mr. Gardner sald that he thought the action was a little premature, and that preparing w tieket so soon would valve the Grant men a chatice to prepare thelr Hekcet, and, by placing afew of the anti-Grant sdelegates’ naines upon -ceed in getting at any rate several of their delegates elected, He had known very great ‘success attend the party in a primary elec- tion In which the names of the delegates to vo for were announced only a few “ininutes before the ovening of the polls.
