The Two Rival German Republican Orssni-
zations-AnETy Words from One-Tbe Other
Takes IL Easy.
The two rival organizations OF the German repubi-
can party had each meeting yesterday evening, the
Executive Committee of the German Grant and Col
fax Campaign Club at No. 20 Third avenue, and the
German Republican Grant and Colfax Campaign As
ISOLATION at the Steuben House, on the Bowery. At
the former the proceedings were of but little interest
DR.. A. Erbe, first Vice President, took the chair,
he announcing that DIR. Schuetz, the president was
called OFF to meeting Of the Union League. Dele
gates from the Young Mems German-American Grant
and Colfax Light Artillery and from two clubs in the
Thirteenth ward were admitted. delegate from
the French Republican Club was "accepted' as an
honorary special delegate, ana Mr.. raphael
cans at the French organization. Mr. Lynch, At
torney General OF the State OF louisiana was intro
duced, warmly received and made a speech which
seemed to suit his audience to dot for they warmly
applauded him throughout. The Fourth ward was
announced TO be organized anu delegates OF Inc
German republicans of the ward were admitted.
This about all that ranspired at the meeting VI
this Executive Committee.
Much more interesting were the proceedings AZ me
other Central" organization OF the German repubil-
cans, at The Steuben House Here DR.. Muir presl-
negotiations had for union between the two clubs,
which, however, proved rutess. This report
throws all the blame upon the other side, ana
in Its historical citations 10 seeks to prove That
1.-THE OTHERS" meaning the organization on Third
avenue, have no right to claim 10 be representatives
of the herman republicans Of the city Ex-Coroner
Dr. Naumann then made q speech, IN winch ne al
uded to the ''Others" as the Kid glove party the
arlst0cratS, some OF whom, among them mentioning
| Or. Schuetz, declared they would rather not vote
al all before voting for Lincoln in 1854 And wax
ing warm in the OF his remarks DR.. Naumann
even went so far as to assert that tbe others" had
''lorged' facts for the local columns OF the German
city papers to enhance their own interests He adj
United that they induced men OF scientific reputation
in their profession to join them, and this fact gave
| them their present standing The ''others' repre-
sened nobody except themselves the doctor insist
ed, and few OF their personal friends, while the
| organization presided over by DR.. Muir was
| composed OF regularly elected delegates from
ward and district clubs, and hence sprang
| directly rrom the people. The others had
| the money and professional names, while they
| themselves had the people behind them
If New York is to be lost 10 the republicans 1t will
be the fault of "thOse presumptiOus adventurers'
the Coroner said, and not OF the true hearted
publicans represented in this organization. Another
| member also doctor, got up and moved an amend
ment to the report which charges the "Others" with
uttering 'intentlOnal untruth." DIR. SchwarZen-
| berg claimed that DR.. Naumann's speech was ''puH
ing' the ''Others" by calling them aristOcrats
most of them had been dealers in rabbits skins and
old clothes 1t was necessary he said, to inform the
Americans that 'tlc others" had no body OF any
| party behind them. The report, with the amend
ment proposed then adopted, and after appoint
| ing committee OF five on finance, OF five on the
| press and Of twelve on arrangements the meeting
! proceeded with some routine business and ad-
| lOurned.
