PuiLaDKLPHiA, January 1. When Chairman Teller's committee swings around to this city if it ever does swing around hereit will find plenty of material to kindle its investigating fires for some time and keep them blazing at a white beat.

Tb science of bulldozing has been ground don to a fine point in Philadelphia. Matters are run by tbe Republicans in power in a manner which all good Democrats despise. The city is always looked to to give a large Kf publican majority just how large is never determined upon until tbe rest of tbe state has been heard from and tbe figures needed to turn tbe balanm the right way carefully noted. Large cities tutlon and tbe communion table nd tbe exchange and literature and everything else. In this case we rball nnd tbe same thing.

Therefore, when you enttat remember that you enlist for a long war. ihe grand thing want to say is this: In iuv opinion people can never attend to more than one thing at the same time. Tbe great ma sot tbe public has never settled but one Issue at a time, and If we want success we have, got to present to the public these Issues successively; not a complication of Issues in a plstform containing many Questions. To my mind, th great object of the Greenback party today should be te show Its strength. Von want tu make the public respect and fear you.

(Applause.) They are now counting bow many Greenback votes there are In congress. Politics and we are politicians necessarily does nothing butcount noses. Yon may show me the Angel Gabriel, with a clear platform and be Is nothing stall to a man with a hundred' thousand votes behind bim. Now. then, we must show our strengtu.

in the years that we huve been at work we have got a large majority of en ripe for our measures. Men wbo bave not yet commuted themselves are ripe for them, and, today, what they need is proof of our power, and then we shall have the Waiters on Providence on Our Side the winning side. Now, to show your strength you have got to Include but one general proiosition in your immediate attempt. I am coming to this idea the only thing tbat seems to me to he the Issue is whether this nation shall exclusively issue its money, or let tbe national banks Issue it; whather the nation will reassume its sovereignty or not. Mr.

Phillips referred to tbe prediction of Sir Robert Peel in 1844, tbat in thirty years the people of England would be discussing the resumption by the government of tbe issue of its currency, as having been fulfilled, and then be continued. When we put tbe Greenback issue in our platform we carry with us all the progressive men of the north and of the south, and make the strongest Issue In the world. Now I don't desire to separate the issues, but one thing at a time most be your oDject. I always, as abolitionist, believed tbat the negro should vote, but up to 1860, we never claimed for tbe negro the right to rote. We simply claimed that no man has a right to own another, and thus we brought on the war snd killed slavery.

If we bad added many other issues equally just, if we had added forty acres of land and a mule for each negro, Hayes would never bave risen to the place be now holds, and General-Butler would bave been president. They made tbe issue tbat the negro be free, and we succeeded. Mr. Phillips said that it bad been found impossible to maintain a labor party, as labor and capital are so intimately connected tbat a con-f-et between them cannot be maintained. He claimed that the National party would absorb and represent the labor element, and be advised the conference to take such action as will make tbe party in New England and throughout tbe land responsible, and which will secure to the government a return of that sovereignty which belongs to it ot right.

Committees Appointed. At the conclusion of Mr. Phillips' remarks tbe, motion to reconsider waa put and lost, and the chairman appointed the following committees: For vassacbueett. John M. Raymond of Salem.

John Howes of Worcester; for New Hampshire, A. B. Robinson, C. C. Rufsell; for Vermont, J.

R. Forrest and I. Taibox; for Rhode Island, John Francia Smith, Harris W. Aldrfch; for Connecticut, A. Troup.

George W. Hewett; for Maine, Solon Cbase. Immediately thereafter a recess of an hour and a half waa taken. ourque, ana cuainlng iiim tt stanchions. Other acu of cruelty and inhumanity were related by tbe witness.

Special Meeting Tbis Afternoon The Business Transacted Kestdenco of City Officials. Tbe board of aldermen beld a special sessloa this afternoon. Among the first business waa the consideration of tbe annual order to pay James Denny $2000 for services rendered;" and Mr. McLean made inquiry why and for what services this money should be paid. Mr.

Harris said tbat It waa ratber bard to define Mr. Denny's duties, but they were general and various, and the committee believe this claim to be ble. He has assisted the city soltci tor lu obtaining claims, betterment, etc Mr. McLean objected to this method of payment. If Mr.

Denny bad rendered any services the claim should be charged to tne appropriation for city solicitor rather than that bf streets. However, be waa willing to defer to tbe judgment of Mr. Harris. The order then passed without dissent. The order granting the new location and route for the South Boston Kailway via West Konrtb.

Dover and Pleasant streets to the Provide oce Kail wav station, passed without objection, finally. An order offered by Mr. Guild formally accepting the gift of the Sumner statue by citizens of Bostou. and expressing tbe tbanks of the city therefor to tbe committee having tbe matter in charge, was passed after a brief speech by tbe mover. Police Business.

The police commissioners reported in regard to the order concerning tbe delivery of official city documents, tbat the necessary steps would be taken for enforcement. Begarding the Kneeland street obstruction to travel, it waa reported that tbe Albany Hallway authorities, had heartily cooperated with them in the prevention of blockades and such arrangements were made tbat in no event would cars be left across the street for a longer period than that allowed by order. 1 be commissioners also recommend that billiard-tables, bowling-alleys, pool and sippio tables should psy a license of 2 a ear to the city; and ask that tbe legislature may be petitioned to this end. The order era-bodying these views was passed, under a suspension of tbe rules. Reports of Committee.

Tbere were reports from various committees, including one favoring the alteration of tne wards in the city building on North Grove street, which should be repaired as requested by board of health. The Older accompanying, and providing for an appropriation ot 3000 from funds already held by the board, was finally adopted. Mr. hidden offered an order authorizing the construction, jointly with the New Vork and New Eugland railway, of a bridge over Last Chester park extended, at a con not. exceeding $11,000.

The Residence of City Officials was the special assignment; the ordinance in favor of requiring officers who may hereafter be engaged for the city'a service to reside within tbe city limits having passed to one reading at the previous session.

January 2. The first day of actual resumption opened very quietly here at the treasury. The singular phenomenon wag presented of no gold payments to anybody. Hitherto, even when gold was 285, the treasury has always r'd" coin on all coin coupons presented. Today it refuses to pay gold even on the secretary's own check.

The local bankers are. somewhat incensed at this, as it puts them to considerable inconvenience. Tbe action of the treasury is strictly within the law, and of course virtually there is little difference, as gold drafts on New York are given to all who want them; but if Sherman -i 88 confident as he professes to be, it seems to be unnecessarily stretching a point to withdraw on tbe first day of resumption tbe local accommodation which the treasury has hitherto extended. The result of this cnange is of course that coin transactions at the treasury department are entirely suspended today, and the cash-room is unusually quiet. A tour of.

the local banks discloses no symptoms of excitement The aggregate testimony is that less that one-sixth of the payments are in gold, the people preferring greenbacks, and that more gold is being received than is paid out.

The first of Mr. RW mond's resolutions waa adopted without dissent.

The second led to A Lively Oiscussion. Mr. A. B. Currier of Boston moved that the word "league" be siricken ut and that "party" be substituted for it.

Mr. Maher and others suggested siill other modifications, and there were tnanv objections that the words, "labor" and "greeubact were not embodied in it, A proposition to leate the question of a name to the committee to be afpoiated was unfavorably received, and then Mr. a.aymotid suggested tiat the proper i tme for argument would be when the committee bat made Us report. Mr.

He wens of Connecticut said he-had been warned by his constituents not to do anything to drive the labor element out of the Greenback There should, saia be, be no chauge in the nme of the party, as the labor and the greenback elements are associated with "each other. Mr. Devine objected to referring the matter to a committee, as such actios would lead to unnecessary delay. A vote having been readied, the subject of the adoption ot name was referred to a. committee.

The Kev. J. M. Babcock moved ti.at this committee be instructed to report a plan of orgauixation for the National Greenback-Labor party ot New England but it waa decided that the proposition was at that time out of order. The remainder ot the second resolution was adopted, and then there was an attempt to reconsider the vote relating to tbe reference ot a name to the same body.

Mr. Raymond objected to a reconsideration. Mr. Hoea of Worcester advised action that so ou Id not prejudice any one against the party. He was not opposed in any wav to labor, but the incorporation of mat word in the name of the organization would not make it broad enough in its significance.

John Francis Smith of Rhode Island agreed with Mr. Howes, and then Mr. Babcock asked if there was a maa present who did not know that tbe greenba cause was the cause of labor. He said it was the cause of all who work for a living. Thev are tb Greenback-Labor party, said be, and nothing elan.

Leave out tbat word "labor," and for every sbop-fceener you attract, you will repel thousands of laborers. Ir. Bland of Wasnington remarked that tbe attempt to adopt a name was revomtionaiy, as tbe conference was not called for. that purpose. Address of Wendell FhtlliD.
