He worid not give 25 cents to anyone to vote for him and any one who woald give money for voies was unworthy of the party.

Browe. trom the Execative Committee, whicd set» forth that, as the colored Republicans oj the city cons!i.ute a large proportion of the party, and they have shown themse! ally quel: ied to fill posi- tions of public trust with ereti! and Rouor to themselves, therefore the Fifth Ward Republi- can Club demand that a colored man shall be laced upon the general ticket ai the election in une next was taken up. William Brown ad yoeated the passage of the committce report, &s nothing more than fair to the colored men of the city. It was a well- known tact. he said, that the colored men con- siitaie a majority of the Republican party,and they should therefore see to it that their inter ests are properly recognized. The char, because of certain remarks made, expiaired thst as the word “white” had been stricken out of the charter of the city by Con- gress, the Executive Committee ni thonght Proper not to mention the name of colored or ‘white in any of their reports or recommenaa- tions. David Parker argued against the adoption of the report,as he thought mention of the word “color” in any report or resolutions bereaftereminently inappropriate. Whenever be heard @ white man use such discriminating language, be :et it down that thet man .horght the negro inferior to him, and he also enter- ed ibe same opinion of any colored man who persisted in separating the words white and colored. in corclusion, he moved that the resolutions be laid on the table and the commit- tee discharged from the consideration of the subject; carried. The resolutions from the General Commit- tee, recommending mass meetirgs of the clubs throughout the city on the night of the 25th instant, for the purpose of electing delegates to the nominating convention the day following, ‘were cailed up and adopted. Mr. Jos. Selden offered a resolution, which ‘was adopted, recommending Mr. William L. Childs, a rember of the club, for the position Of maaster joiner in the — Navy Yard, knowing bim to bea staunch ublican. Meeting then adopted the resolution which was passed by the First Ward Repub- lcan Club on W-dnesday night, regarding as the enemy of the colored race every man and every combination of men that shall in any mapner whatever endeavor to trampie down their right to labor by excluding from the dit- ferent branches of trades, arts, &c., a large | bay of honest mech» iics, artists and Ia- rets because of their co'or. Mr. William H. Brown introduced a resolu- tion reflecting upou the Executive Committee, and inquiring by what authority that com- mirtee appointed nine of their number on the list of the canvassiig committcs of fift-n fo the Fifth Ward. In adyoc sting the passage of his resolution, he said that the conrse of rhe Executive Committes had been t> keep down the plebians, */bo were the “bone and sinew” of the Republican party. They set themselves up as the arisiocrac Mr. Brown also submitted a preamble resolution condemning the action of thove members of the Counclis who had voted for increasing their pay from s23) to $600, wb poor men were actually suffering for the n sartes of live, and expressing respec: for those voting in opposition to it. Mr. J. 1° Arrison detended the action of the Councils in ibis matter, and said that althon rh the bill for increa.e of pay emanated trom a Democratic member, yet, had it come trom a Republican source, there could have been no blame attached. The various duties outside of the Councils which the members of the Bo rds ‘were called upon to (otipnd were explained in consideration of which he claimed that the Per cent, be taken from the laboring man’s !
