The Chair explained that at the last meeting of the First Ward Republican Club steps were taken to hold a primary election, and this reso- Iution was to put up the names of these Invin- delegates as candidates. He had heard that the boss of the Republican party, Wm. A. Cook, intended to order the election to be held for an hour or two to get in the votes of a few Bowen men, and then close the polls. He an- nounced to all the Cooks and Bo" trict of Columbia that this game could not be ed in the First Ward. If it was tried on they must pass over his dead body.

As for the financial ability of Mr. Bowen, he would inform the club that the account with the First National would speak for his ability—the city is now indebted to that bank $150,000, and all the tax money had been spent, the market fallof floating checks and no one to honor them. He saw , not long | ago how the sum of $250,000 was obtained by the Cor m. It was taken in small sums out of the bank, by order of Mr. Bowen, and interest is being paid on the whole amount from the date of the small amount taken—this is a sample of his ability. The cer then read from Mr. Bowen's mesenge, ving his estimates for the ear, Wl estimates amounted to about $1,290,000; expenditures $1,022,000. The balance the Mayor said would be $268,000, sufficient to leaye an unexpended balance on the 30th of June of $100,000, this was for election purposes.

For his part he was for A. C. Richards and he thought the colored people capable of ju: ing for themselves how to vote. He predicte: at Richards will be elected by 3,000 majority. Mr. Bowen was hardly elected two years ago, and a good many believe that he was not elected at all. [ Voices. “That’s so, he was not.”} He urged all to come up and vote for the Richards’ delegates. He re~ ferred to the figures. Mr. Hall was elected by 2,800 majority, Bowen §3, Boswell by 4.000. Why is it that Bowen can’t get such a majority? Mr. Forney had explained it—that Bowen “hada fascinating way of making enemies” which was ore trucism he ha: spoken of him. John H.
