I raised him up and asked him if he was hurt, lie did not answer, and lived only fifteen minutes after ho was shot. Ho wai Insensible, and did not move from tho spot where he fell. They had some words about a month ago, so Murray told me, but I did not hear It, They both carried pistols aa a general thing.

After Kelly got on his boots Murray reached np to his valise, which was banging on the side of the car above his head.

In the upper Hoard, and Oftean to four In the lower lloard, daciared that the Mayor, who was cognisant of this aa wall aa other corrupt and lllraal had "done nothing lo weaken their confidence In his Intelligence or honrsty." Mr. Crane said that ho supposed It would be proper for him to make a few remarks In regard to tbe present condition of the Rc-pabllcan party la this city.

Thero were divisions existing In the ranks In four of the wards of this city. Let vs go back a few mouths and see If wo cannot discover tho cause of this difficulty. It originated In this ward, and as he looked around ho saw men who were mainly Instrumental In procuring tho nomination and election of Mr. Dowen. men who bad given their ttme, talent, and money to that object.

As to the division It bad commenced aboat etc months ago. Last May he had called at the Mayor's ofllce to consult with hlsa abont the ward ticket, and daring the conversation he men tloned tho name of Matthew 0. Emery as being the most suitable man who could be nominated for Alderman. To this the Mayor heartily agreed, and he, (Mr. Crane,) In tuuiiuj uiu.t v-v Emery and tendered him the nomination, company wuu a aeisga.won, cauoa on air.

wVUtt rtfm riKAMn.il "I n.i which was at once flrmlv declined. Thev returned to the Mavor'e offlee. reported tho result 01 tbe interview to Mr. uowen, ana, at their request, he went at once and per-s naded Mr. Emery to accept the nomination by representing to blm that he was tho best man they could name.

Previous to this Mr. Emery hid subscribed 9100 for campaign purposes twite as much ae Mr. Dowen nad subscribed. The nomination was made, and things were goln on smoothly, when one day Mr. Dowen tent for him and told him that he had been thinking fever the Fourth ward matter, and that ho felt certain that Mr.

Emery could not carry the wardj but that ho had a man who cortainiy couia, ana namoa james ji. uai ton, who waa then representing tbo Democrats from another ward In the lower Board. At thle he expressed great surprise, but Mr. Bbwea said it must bo donej it was their duty to the party, and men must stand aside. A few evenings afterwards, by Invitation, he visited Mr.

Bowen'e house, and found there two itepaDiicane Besides himself, (Major Morse and John 11. Crossman,) and the fallowing Democrats! Col. O'Belrne, J. M. Dalton, Andy Glecson and Mr.

Klrby. The subject of the nomination of Mr. Dalton was at onco broached, and he and tho other Republicans positively declined to listen to the proposition or to have anything to do wun it, ana suirica 10 go. mcywereioi-lowed to the door by Mr. Dowen and Importuned to agree, but would not.

All know the result of tho election, but all do not know that on the day of election a committee of Democrats waited on Mr. Dowen, and ho pledged them that Crane woald not renominated commissioner of the Fourth ward, and he kept hi wordt for, although h- was continued In ofSce, it was only until Mr. uowen got a cnanco to remove mm, V71a CS rf 11 fTIntLr. the condition of the poor, and: the No-It has been said bv Look and others that urossman ana urane iouou no iuu wuu r. no nun wuu were removed If this was tbe case they had found fault, and for that reason they wero removed.

A fraud had come to nottco, and bo was obliged, la exposing It, to expose Mr. Dowen and hie tricks or sacrifice his honor and Integrity, and that ho would do. He bad prepared charges against tho Mayor, mid. Tint withstanding be had bean i -1 a muMa oy "win ooarui or tncro a wnf.Ti u.ilfl nn be opened to the be was sure not even the whitewash of the councils could avail to screen him from that. He had been obliged to sue for bit salary.

Bowcn charges that ho had sold 1500 worth, and farther, mai sjw worm ui it uau gunu iu tho farm of Mr. Crosiman, while the fact Is Mr. crnaaman'e farm had oniv vieidea mm 300 daring the year. Now, let all the other commissioners snow ineur reports, ana it they make, trntbful ones he was sure they would not amount to as much ae his. The speaker then raid his respects to Mr.

B. D. Teck, topographer of the board, and president of the seceders club, and concluded by declaring that the opposition might go on as much as they liked, but they must re member mat tney were opposing men wno were used to that sort of basinets, men who bad been abolitionists for the last quarter of a century, and were not bo frightened by trifles, (Jeorgo W. Ilutton was called on, and said that he was sorry there were two clubs In tna ward, but ho Intended to stick to the orhrlnals. lie was opposed to Mr.

Bowen and would carry his opposition to him as far as possible, but he would still be true to the party. Ever since he had heard the namo of Bowen he had been looklnir for a eood man of that name, but as yet bad failed to find him. When the namo of Bayles J. Bowen was brought before the nominating convention he had tho temerity to oppose It, and for that another uowen, tiia.cn aa tne ace oi nudes, had threatened to kick him down stairs, uiib uc uiu uu uu iuci wo another Bowen lo the Fourth ward of the same stamp. Tako all tbe men of that namo In the city, tie em together, and then lash Bayles J.

at the head of them, and there was not the making of ono man In all of them together. Ho thanked Qod he had gone to Gettysburg thanked Qod he had made Bowen and his clique respect him while there, and thanked Ood the fifteenth amendment had been passed and ratified. Mr. M. Fechln explained the resolutions at length, and In regard to the one relative to Mr.

Moore said ho wished It understood that It only endorsed tbe action of Mr. Moore iu his efforts to expose the fraud and dishonesty of the present party in power at tho rfiiy jiuu. After remarks from J. W. flrecn and several other gentleman, on motion of Win, II.
