The vote was then taken on the motion to lay the reporton the table, when Mr. White ana two others yoted to lay the reporton the tabie, and all the others against it Mr. Martin said it bad been his desire from the mrst not to have his name brought before the meeting for president, and he now asked that the minority report be withdrawn. Mr. Barton asked and was granted leave to withdraw the minority report Mr. Griffin moved that the report of the Majority be adopted by a rising vote. Mr. Shiver hoped the motien of Mr. Griffin would prevail Mr. Holmes said, 4s chairman of the com- mittee on nominations he had listened to all sides ef the qnestion, and thought Mr. Dixon Was the best man for president Mr. White said no men had a higher Opinion of Mr. Dixon, both personally and politically, but what he (Mr. ) contended for was that there should be a fair expression of opinion, as many were present to-night who did not par- ticipate in the first meeting, He was in fayor of postponing the election of officers for one week, in order tBat no one should be elected who had swung «round the circle. Mr. Barton said he put forward the fame of Mr. Martin at the request of many working men, but he had nothing against Mr. Dixon, and had made up his mind to stand by who- ever the majority should choose. Mr. Harris said he did not know if Mr. Dix- on wasone of themen who swung around the circle. If any one knew anything of the kind about Mr. Dixon he hoped it would be stated to the meeting. Mr. Henry Better said he was one of the committee to nominate permanent officers, and he thought Mr Dixon was the best man. He bad known him for years, and believed him to be a friend of the colored man. If he thought Mr. Dixon had aay animosity agninst the col- ored man he would not support him. for the day had now come when the colored man could defend himself as well as any other man. Dr. McKim thought there was a desire to elect officers by ballot, he therefore moved wo lay the report of the committee on the table, and if that motion prevailed, be would move to proceed to an election Mr. Griffin hoped that motion would not pre- vail; & majority of the people knew Mr. Dixon, and knew him to be a trustworthy man. Mr. Beron thought it was the duty of this meeting to show some respect to the former meeting, and adopt the report of the commit- tee appointed at that meeting to pominate ot- ficers. There was no evidence that Mr. Dixon had swung around the circle. Was there any evidence that Mr. Martin had notswungaround the circle? Mr. White said he had not charged Mr. Dix- ob with swinging around the circle. Mr. Martin said be spurned the idea of sup- porting Andrew Johnson after he had swung around the circle, he did not oe Dim af. ter that, but supported the 38th Con; 5 Mr. Létnro) tew said be regretted that it should be gary 4 for any man to stand up here in the Sixth Ward and defend the character of Wm. Dixon; but be could not sit here aud hear remarks against Mr. Dixon. He nad known him six years, and knew nim tobe as good a Republican as ever was. Some ume ago, when the election was beld in this city on the suffrage question, there were thirty-five votes cast througheut the city in favor of negro suf- frage. Seven or eight of those votes were in the Sixth Ward, and Mr. Dixen put one of those votes in the ballot-box in favor of uni- versal suffrage. He was a friend of the colored man, and a true friend. Mr. White.—How does the gentleman know he put that vote in? Mr. Lathrope —I know it from the best au- thority in the world. Know it as well as { know J am standing here. Mr. Dixon is as good a Republican as any in this room, white or black. Mr. Richard Morgan.—1 will ask the gentie- man if be himself did not swing around the circle some. Mr. Latbrope.—No. sir; never. I never failed to say Andrew Jobnson was wrong he made that 22d of February Mr. Hamilton thought there was some per- against Mr. Dixon, not polit- would certainly stand Mr. Harris said Mr. Dixon was a sound Re- Publican.
