THIRD WARD REPUBLICANS.

THIRD WARD REPUBLICANS.
The Third Ward Republican Club met last
night at Jacobs Hall, Ed F. Taylor presid-
ing. There was large attendance, and the
liveliest spirit manifested The minutes
were read and approved. The Chair stated
that the object of the meeting was to agree
upon names to be voted for at Saturdays
primaries as delegates to the County Conven-
ton. W. R. Cantwell said harmony was de-
sired, and list of delegates acceptable to the
people and, if possible, to all the candidates
men whom they will feel they can submit
their claims to. He moved the appointment
of committee of five or seven to select
twenty persons to be voted for as delegates
L. l. Robinson moved to amend so that
nominations be made, balloting had, and
be declared chosen as candidates.
Mr.. Cantwell said that plan would prove
tedious, as it did in the Fourth Ward, while
his plan would be speedy, and, he believed,
fair and representative. Geo. A. Blanchard
said if the first plan included report of the
twenty names to the meeting for ratification,
then it would be equivalent to the plan of Mr..
Robinson. The Chair said the twenty names
would have to be reported back for ratifca-
ton. J. T. Sheehan said it was hardly pos
sible to select a bad ticket in the Third Ward,
however selected He favored selection by
committee, because there was printed ticket
out, probably in the interest of some one, and
il the meeting ballotted that ticket would
have the best opportunity of election. He
didn't object to any one getting up printed
ticket, but if there was any packing it was
more likely to be done with prepared tickets.
Mr.. Robinson withdrew his motion. Z. Il.
Ames moved to amend the original motion
by directing the committee to report thirty
names, from which the meeting shall choose
twenty. The amendment was lost, and the
original question prevailed, the committee
being ordered to consist Of seven persons
The Chair said he did not know five men in
favor of any or all the candidates, and he
should name the committee without particle
of bias He named w. r. Cantwell, James
l. Felter. l.. Elkus, j. f. Sheehan. Win. j.
Davis, Fred. Kern and J. ID. Lord.
A recess of twenty minutes was allowed, TO
give the committee time to select the names.
