GERMANS N COUNCIL
The Germans have been very active in their efforts TO
OH up their ranks and 10 unite Liberal Democrats and
Liberal Republicans. One section OF the German
Democracy has already joined the Liberal Republicans,
and the union made complete at Germania Hall last
Friday night; but the regular Democratic organization
has refused to cooperate with Liberal Republicans,
although it has favored the Cincinnati nominees While
persons belonging TO each organization impressed
with the advantages OF union, few German Repubh-
and Democrats believed that more could be gained
by operating separately 1t was urged that elements
would be brought together which would tend TO ALLEVIATE
some Of the radical Germans who would with diff
fculty forget old antpathics and prejudces But the
malcontents have gradually adopted the views OF the
majority and last night efforts we're made TO secure
cooperation Accordingly a meeting Of the Executive
Committee OF the German Democratic Union General
Committee was held at Teutonia Hall in Third-ave.
Henry Woltman the President, after calling the meet
IN % order stated the objects OF the meeting as ind
Gated above. While the question under considera-
ton a delegation from the German Liberal Republicans
appeared with communication from their organization.
The committee consisted Of Dr. Gercke and H. 5chetzer,
the former OF whom stated that they were instructed TO
consult with the Executive Committee with view 10
securing cooperation The Executive Committee re-
ceved their communication and seven persons repre-
sentng Democratic organization were appointed to
confer with the committee from the Republican organ
izatiou. The Executive Committee then adjourned
