Whereas, The composition Of this com
mittee is effected by ward elections, in
which every Republican in a ward is at lib
erty to participates; and

elections and from precedent; be it
Resolred, That while this committee
deems itself without warrant to admit q
representation from the German Republican
Central Club in the manner proposed in ad-
vance of the regular ward elections to con-
stitute parish committee, We have to tes-
tify our desire to cooperate no less effectu-
aliy with our German Republican brethren
than if they had been accredited by ward
elections to this body, and to invite per-
manenr committee of conference from their
organization to unite with us in all matters
vital to the general Republican interest.
