LOOKING TO HARMONY.
he reso.Eticn offered by AlfreGl Jones at the
10, mer meeting for the appointment OF & ccm-
mittee OF one from each district to harIEonize
tie differences in the republican ranks OF this
district, ana also the substitute offered by Mr..
Buker, Of the ID district, providing for com
nittoe Of conference of the two wings for a CON-
Iiomise, were taken up. After the resolution
and substitute had been read, Mr.. b. l.. Calill
submitted resolution ''that while We can take
TO action which will admit or imply that the
organization of the general committee effected
by us on Saturday, TIE 9th of April, was unfair
or improper, and while we believe that this or
ganiZatiOn. made as ii was by a majority OF reg
ularly elected delegates of the committee, was.
and is, in all respects proper we earnestly and
cordially invite the members from the few dis
ticts rot rel resented in the committee TO con-
rect the mselyes with it without any unnecessary
delay, assuring them that they will be received
with good will, and be treated in all respects as
if they bad originally met with US; that for the
purpose Of affordiDg them fall opportunity of
chairman of the committee to communicate
cory Of these resolutions to the regularly elected
mt lnbers OF the committee FROM the eth, 18th
and 18th districts, who have not I'D to this time
net with rs or filed their credentials with us
requesting them 10 do SO
MI Cahill made speech in support of his
resolution.
Mr.. Himber said that the meeting called hv
LeBainos was irregular and without precedent
in the history of the central committee. The
difficulty growing out of that call must be
SuuelClpi : as ha
fact that they have hard fight before the N, as
the democratic voters in this District are watch
ing the M with great interest.
Mr.. w. A. Cook said he was willing to sleer
with most any one politically for the sake OF
peace, but Was unwilling to be kicked out OF
bed or to have all the bed covers kicked or OF
him. lie claimed that there were no contesting
delegates-Eone had applied for admission. and
therefore TO compromise was necessary. When
tht Sc me mbers get ready to knock at the door of
the ceItra! committee il would be open to them
and the olive branch of peace be extended. Mr.
Boswell, he believed would come, in and mostif
not all, OF the others; they would soon tire of
Ordway ard Lis followers.
MrW. Z: Marshall was for voting down the res
luton and substitute. The sore heads will all
cCmc into the fold in due time, if not they will
soon die out, politically.
Mr.. Emery thought that neither the original
r"-0iuiion Tor the substitute could be regarded
as IN any sense compromise. 1t was dis
grace TO eEdeavor 70 make peace with me mbers
who doubles differed honestly with the ma
joiity.
Mr.. G. II. Brooks stated that he had convers
ed with seine of those disaftecteG members, AMI
they were as obstinate as ever. From his knOwl-
edge of the m he thought they might aswellsave
their forts.
Mr.. Whiting was for letting them alone; the
oppo .ition comes from one man who is fast los
ing all political Influence. if not all respect in
tins District. He can fall back on his market
house.
". II. BarkCr was opposed 70 any action look
ing to compromise with traitors; they should
b. lett alone.
Remarks of the same tenor were made by sew
eral others, MesSrs. Jones, Buker and Emery
ia the opposition, and afterwards a vote was
taken on the substitute offered by Mr.. Buker
and it was lest by decided vote. \ vote was
then tahon on Mr.. Jones resolution, and il was
lost by a large ma iOrity.
Mr.. Buker here arose and stated that "a his
project for peaceable solution of their III fer
ences had been voted down, he aud his colleague
from the I'd district would bury TIE hatchet and
1oin hands with the ma jOritv, for a fair square
light with all enemies of the party, let them
come from where they might. IGreat ap-
piause.l
The consideration of the resolutions submit
ted by Mr.. Cahill was then on motion postponed
until the next meeting.
MIR. Smith introduced a resolution, which was
adopted, that they deplcre the lack OF work in
the District, which is caused by the action of
the me moralists, and tina, a copy OF the resOlu-
ton be sent to the committee on the District or
Columbia OF the House OF Representa- YES.
Mr.. Buker moved that in those districts in
which there were no contests and the delegates
had not presented themselves for admission
new elections for delegates be held to fiji the
vacancies. Withdrawn, and TO be presented NJ
the next meeting. The committee then al
