The second district meeting, at Union Hall, Mount Pleasant, was largely attended, the ma- Jority of those present being colored people, and a@great deal of wrangling attended the various 8 for the mode of voting—by ballot or rs. Messrs, Laws and Holland monopolized the entire time from 5 to 10 o’elock by personal disputes, which reached such a helght of ex- eitement that the services of two policemen were requisite to keep the peace between the adherents of the twg wranglers. District At- torney Corkhill was present, and was calied on to decide certain points in questign, which had no bearing on the purpose of thé meeting, and which solely concerned the family affairs of Messrs. Holland and Laws. When the question of the appointment of tellers came up, Mr. Holland objected to the appointment of Mr. Browne, on the ground that he had at a former meeting snatched the ballot from a voter and trampled it under foot. Mr. Browne denied the charge, and said whoever accused him of such a thing was a liar. Here a general hubbub en- sued. The disorder was carried on until 10 oclock, when, after the appointment of Messrs. Woods, Pomeroy, Sturtevant and Wali as tel- lers, the election of delegates took place, which resulted as follow Delegates—James M. Greg- ory, J. M. Brown W.

Hell's Bottom was in tts glory last evening. ‘The election took place in Johnson's Hall, on it street, between 1 nd 13th streets, which at haif-past seven Was packed with a howl ing mob, apparently (ull of mean whisky and supplied with bad cigars. ‘The atmosphere was most foul. About half a dozen white men were | present, working for their leaders. There were s in the tield, and a cursing canvass ‘h was carried on. Before the meeting formally opened the groundwork for half w dozen fights was laid. Out in the narrow hall two young voters of the bottom had clinched, and would have rolled down the stairs If the stairs had been wide enough. At s o'clock charles Peters, the president of the republican ub, called the meeting to “alleged” order. He had a big cane, with which he pounded the ta- ble in front of hima, and. « for quiet.

Somebody nom- inated Peters, and put the vote immediately and declared ‘him elected. Peters’ opponents raised « howl and two men clinched. The crowd surged baek and forth for 10 minutes, making the hail hideous with noise. Henry Jolinson, secre- lary of the club, got up and announced ‘that a chairman of the mass meeting was to-be chosen. Peters and Col. Wm. A. Cook were nominated Col. Cook yelled for himself vigorously. Peters had yielded his cane to Jolinson, who had mounted the table. The vote was ‘to be taken by show of hands, Just before Johnson had gut through Peters evidently thought Cook was to be anhounced as elected. He jumped up, pushed Johnson from the table, grabbed his cane and yelled for “a fair count.” “Then there wasascene. Isalah Washington kept shouting and declaring that there was an attempt at frand.

The meeting in this district was held at Kin- dergarten Hall, corner of 8th and K streets, and was called to order by W. H. Chase. A lively contest sprang up over the election of a perma- nent chairman, A. M. Clapp, -, and W. H. Uhase being placed in_nomins was taken by tellers. John McKnight and Geo. Boston kept the score, and the shriekers for suf- frage showed plainly they didn’t deserve it by voting as many times as they could slip be- tween the counters. A dispute arising as to how many times a certain colored man full of rum had voted, it was decided by a square knock down with a chair and the inebriated “brother” being hustled out of the hall by a policeman. This episode constrained Major Richards to mount athair and beseech the “brethren” to Keep quiet, adding that. such scenes were what made the effort to get suff in this District supremely ridiculous.

Other noiinations were made and alter a lively wrangle the chair declared him secretary. The chair called for nominations for delegates to the convention. The whole house ina ininute rose and a perfect. uproar of voices followed, all yelling the names Of candi- dates. It was totally impracticabie to say who Was or who was not nominated. The chair rapped the desk until splinters flew off it, and he stopped from exhaustion. Pandemonium reigned for ten or more minutes and nothing could be done. ‘The police entered, but did not interfere as there was no fighting. In the din and confusion the stalwart Perry Carson was dodging about whooping up the boys. The chair rapped until he was tired, then’ made motions with his bands for the qgowd to be seated. In the din and confusion that followed, a num- ber of names were taken down as nominees, among them Perry Carson, Wm. Wilson, John E all, Henry Brooks, James. 5, Win.

The meeting tn this district was held at Washington hall, corner Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street southeast, and the palmy days ot District suffrage never called together a more disorderly crowd. ‘There was no such thing pos- sible as enforcing order. Fifty voices would address the chair at once, each seeking to drown the other, At times the whole mob would rush upon the the room. ‘There was scarcely a moment in which men were not engaged in brawis and quarrels, and they would conduct their dis- putes without the slightest regard for the chair. All these men were suffrage shriekers. When- ever one could be heard above the din he was shouting for suffrage. An old gentleman—about the best looking man present—said, “Mr. Chair- man, if the American Congress could see us to- night would we ever get suffrage?” “No sir,” responded the chair. It was not until after 11 o'clock that the purpose of the meeting was accomplished, when the election of delegates Was announced, the defeated faction began to curse, howl and hurl denunciations, and as THE STAR reporter leit there was every prospctof a tree fight.

A motion was made that the further reading of the credentials be dis- pensed with, which was carried. A motion was made to appoint a committee on credentials of one from each district, except the contested ones, and it was carried, although Mr. Clapp waived the point that the conven- tion did not know in which districts there wei contestants. % ‘tue chairman appointed the following COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS: J.

Carson.as it was a perfect farce and Ty disgrace to the republicans of the country, and now, at a time when the minds of the best learned and most energetic are puzzled to arrive at conclusions as to the best interest of the party.

For further intor- mation consult the reporter of the press present. AMES SMALL, Chairman. MR. CLAPT'S REMARKS. Hon. A. M. Clapp was called on and addressed the convention, Sr presing the hope that there would be good feeling and harmony,anda desire to advance the best interests of the party.

PURVIS ON SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRIC Dr. C. B. Purvis was called for and responded, saying that they would fall short of their duty by simply electing two delegates. They were to decide in 2 measure whether the people of this District had the right to govern themselv When they elect the delegates he expected tha they would exhaust all their influence in behalf of the people of the District. ‘They had possibly the power to say who shall or shall not be President, and they would not vote for a man ‘who would not reciprocate.

He would improve the condition of the people. How can suffrage better them? He did not believe in the contract system, und: a comprehensive system, which enabled a man Lo live in a palace in a single year. MR. ALLAN COFFIN, formerly of this city, followed, referring to immense debt lett by the board of pnbdlic wor whiie the elected mayors left the office with but reasonable debt He belteved that the great $3 of the community were in favor of su- frage, which had been wrested from them. Whatever name may be placed on it—Grant, Blaine (applause), or any other one—he was sure the great republican’ party would rally to it. {Applause.] MORE SUFFRAGE TALK. Mr. R. L. Laws followed, ana speaking of the men of the District being deprived of everything pertaining to manhood save stature, and they should ask that they be restored to the right of suffrage. It was not because there was a Hell’s Bottom or a Murder Bay, or that they were dis- orderly in their meetings, for this convention was fully qualified to exercise its right, while it would be a compliment for the national conven- on to receive their representatives; they In- tended to ask them to ,treat them as citizens | and assist them to become such.
