Mr. Dudley bere withdrew from the room. Mr. Barton offered a resolution inviting the clubs to select delegates to meet at Wood- ward's Hall, on Monday, the 29th inst., forthe ci pend of securing some unity of action of the Republican party. Mr. B. said after the clabs should receive that resolution, and they then should refuse to send delegates, then it would be known where We stand, and it would be known if that call was a feeler thrown out for sinister motives, as he believed it was. Mr. D. R. Parker said the reason why there Was not a fuil representation from all the Wards was because some men were going about electioneering tor themselves, and he hoped the resolution would state emphatically that it was not intended for this convention to imterfere with the nominating convention. He was at the Fifth Ward meeting a few evenings since, and delegates to this convention would have been elected bad it not been for Mr. P. H. Rhinehardt.

The Chair said he doubted the propriety of indulging in personalities, or speaking of the action of other wards, as it was desired that they should send delegates. Mr. Holmes boped the resolution of Mr. Bar- ton would be passed, snd another meeting be organized, when the gentlemen present could give their views. The vote being taken, the resolution was passed, and the meeting adjourned until Mon- day evening. the 29th inst.

J. H. Crossman (white), of the Fourth Ward, also explained. He thought the call was very clumsily written, and badly ex- ressed. Unless the call was ised, it would a hard matter to get delegates, as many thought this convention would interfere with the nominating convention. lt seemed to bim as if the central association had recommended two sets of agents to do the same thing.

Therear seats Will be higher than the front, and the room will accommodate upward of two hundred children. The new partition between the main room and the infant class will be panelled be- low and filled with glass above, folding back from the centre to the <ide-walls, which will throw the entire basement ingo one room, and enable the whole school to eace together in the opening and closing exercises without leaving their seats.
