Where cutting was to be done, he left it alone; where filling was to be done, he left it alone; yet by some hocus-pocus it was all measured and paid for. Yet the con- tract for the Seventh Ward, the largest Ward in the city, was given tohim. The reason why practical pavers could not get the work was be- cause they would not pay enough for it. He knew of one paver who was told that he could get a contract by paying $1,0¢0. He promised 8500, work was partly promised to him, but he was afterwards refused the work. Mr. W. A. Cook stood between the Mayor and Mr. Morse; Mr. Morse stood between Mr. Cook and the contractor; so that the Mayor was not known in the case at all. Look at the O'Donovan contract; look at K street— for nearly a mile not half enough gravel on it, and in some not any at all. Patrick Culinane had a private contract, in which not only the ion Iaws, but the laws of Con- ess, had been violated; for he was receiving is pay in bonds that were issued to pay the floating debt.

The speaker remem- bered that after his (Bowen's) nomination tor Mayor there was a grand ratification meet- ing at the City Hail, and Mr. Bowen came down on the steps of that City Hall, in the center of transparencies, which were inscribed with the words * Economy and Keform"—promised that his administration should be economical; that the ag) ey should not go any further into debt. Look at the record to-day! The report from the First National Bank to the Councils last Monday night showed that the corporation had overdrawn $125,000 and some hundreds, and checks to the amount of £109,000 were floating about the city. When Mr. .J. H. Crane was Commissioner of the Fourth Ward, and the la- borers had not been paid paid for a long time, and he asked the Mayor only one month’s pay for those men and reeeived the reply ** no money,” bat very same day a check for $5,000 was drawn sor Jobp O'Donovan when not 4 spade had been put in the work. A man in this ward, whose child died, went to Mayor Bowen and asked for enough money to bury his child. and was turned away from tle Mayor's office without money and with insulf. It was time that this corruption was stopped Put @ mau in Mr. Bowen’s place who is without reproach. M. G. Emery is that man; his bitter- est enemies, those men who now oppose him in this political content, cannot tind one spot on his character.« {Enthusiastic applause. To- day, at the City Hail, the speaker was talking to some men who were friends of Mr. Bowen. One of them said Mr. Bowen will be the next Mayor. The speaker said: “I guess not. He won't get votes enough.” His interlo- cutor rejoined they could elect Bowen agam; they didn't care how many votes the op- position had. There would be frauds attempted, and every man should make it his duty to look out for these frauds. It would be attempted to re men fromthe country and from Mary- land. In the Sixth Ward they are trying to in- umidate the colored men by threats to make them vote for Mr. Bowen, and it was their duty to protect every man who wished to vote tor Mr. Emery. 1t was said that the Bowen men were S52) ged a d ratification meeting at the |, and ‘ity — = ——_ Borg to e colored people to Wtefor Sir, Bowen, It was his option that when Mr. S. knew that the paid bullies of Mr. Bowen, on last Thursday and Saturday, under his very nose, assaulted men because they said they would support Mr. Emery, that he being. a friend sf free, mood would not support Sr. Bowen. jause. faeba said that he had come to the that had been said and by the Bowen men, citizens were in this ys nemination, but it would be ingrat Republican ‘ty to decline,” when he knows that he, Cook & Co. have caused this division in the Republicag party.

The bail was densely crowded, at least two- thirds of those in attendance being colored men. The meeting was of the most orderly and re- — character, Gen. A. Grant occupied e chair and J. B. Cramer as secretary. The report of the committee made at the last meeting having been read, a motion was adopt- ed rescinding the resolution of the last meeting declaring that the vote upon the report should be taken without debate.

He felt contident that the colored people would endorse Mr. Emery. George W. Hatton was in favor of the Boys in Blue speaking out at once.

Cheers were then given for Mr. Richards for his course in withdrawing. A resolution was then offered by Gordon and unanimonsly adopted: + tl meeting at the proper time resolve itself into a committee of the whole to wait on Mr. Emery and inform him of our action.” Col.

Defection in the Club—The Rots Leavit Sinking Ship—Free Speech not Tolerated, The Fourth Ward Bowen Club met last night in the vestibule,of the City Hall, there being the usual assemblage, corporation employes and Bowen strikers present, with D. 5. Cahill in the chair, and Jas. N. Talley Secretary. Captain McMahon, one of the wen dele- gates of the Fourth Ward to the late nomina- ting convention, was called oa, and gave his version of the proceedings of the two conven- tions, demonstrating to his satisfaction that the Bowen men were immaculate, and_their oppo- nents altogether in the wrong. He admitted that the Bowen party consisted largely of cor- poration employes. Mr. Briscoe presented a letter trom Isatah W aldron, resigning his position as a member of the executive committee, and also of the Club, which letter was read by the Secretary and or- dered to be laidon the table. Mr. Gorman then moved that Isaiah Waldron be expelled trom both the executive committee and the Club, as he had gone over to the Emery party ‘and was trying to take others with him. Mr. West hoped that the Club would be considerate, and hear from the other side before any rash measures were taken. Some one stated that Mr. Waldron was present, and he would like to be heard in his own defence. The Chair asked if Mr. Waldron heard in his own defence. Cries of “no! it “put him out!” “put him out!” “he is not a member of the Club, for two reasons. He has both resigned and been expelled, or will be.” The motion to expel was then put and carried by the Club, whereupon two or three persons took hold of Waldron and conducted him, amid the hoots and _jeers of the meeting, to the front ee of the City Hall, and intimated to him that he had better leave. Mr.Mc¥Farland wanted to know whether it would be in order to alsoexpel Mr. Waldron from the house of Mr. Green, who was a good Bowep man. | Laughter.) Jerry Kobinson was next called on for a speech, and facetiously suggested that it was an honor to Waldron to expel him. In this opinion Waldron may coincide. Mr. Ryan followed. C. C. Briscoe was elected to fill the place of Isaiah Waldron on the Executive Committee. Mr. Briseoe moved that Patrick Crowley be expelled from the position of treasurer of the club, for having expressed himself in favor of Emery. After debate, the secretary moved that a special committee be appointed to wait on Mr. Crowley to-morrow (to-day) and inquire into the matter; carried. Messrs.
