The Republican CITY Executive Com>

the Rumford building last evening. The
attendance of the. truly ioysl Republicans
was quite large, but chat Or the members
of the Executive Committee, justzthe re-
verse. They staid away, n sgreetumspy
people seemed to think, in order 10 kssprout
Of voting one way Or the other On, the psti-

Gallagher.'s friends -wers present in full
force, quaking in their boots, and tho

Mr.. A. Brack Starr, the Secretary seemed
to see the battle from sfar, and couldn't
keep still, but fitted restlessfy to and fro,
regardless Of Republican dignity Or pct
Wash. Hastings, in white tess and pants,
was as cool as cucumber, and John n.

Mr.. Hastings, chairman, stated that, BE-
fore the minutes were read, he wsnted to
say word or two Il A nomination, election
had been held, and as. wss.usually the case
were not satisfied, and he was, one ofrthe
number. The successful candidate received
a majority of the votes, and We must stand
by the party. If we do not adhere to the
party we iDjure it. Captain Gallagher was
fairly nominated, ana I saw nothing very
unfair or dishonest. Ihope tho party will
give the captain its supportstq a3annEsu

Gallagher was declared to be the nominee
officially of the party. ''' ''''' " 'E'''"'''''
AVAIL FROM THE woUNDEB.
A. Brack Starr then read . petition from
Robert G. Fraim, holding forth that having
received over 700 votes, I'll of which were
legal. He believed that he had more honest
votes than either, - Mr. Gallagher or Mr..
Patterson. He thought that 600 of Mr..
Gallsgher's votes were not legal, and then
went on to cite many cases to- proye that D I
large vote other than that from Republicans
had been polled. He did not believe It ex-
pedient to 90 into O. second nomination. @
He would rather sacrifice his position than
hurt the party, and would, therefore leave
It to the committee to decide, hoping tha..
they would act fairly. sgatas as6f4 gilfigsqz3L

If men are besten they should submit and

the case on, such occasions that some men
had to be disappointed and everybody could
not be pleased. 'aHPa' "7 f'9 fGHF ="
Mr.. Solloway was in favor Of tho .resolu1g

nominations and not have the Democrats to

not support the candidate [Applsuse.l
