The occasion which brought together this
galaxy Of intellect was a meeting Of the Re
publican County Committee.
The first plan suggested was TO follow the
example OF the Democratic County Com
mittee Of Tuesday week, and sit ia the Fos-
ter House parlUr with closed doors. But
{ mflder measures ia the end prevailed. 1--WE
bad secret meeting of that sort last year, -
said Committeeman c. 7. Roberts, land you
ali know what came of it 70 And pony
purse was made OF ani the fires wero iight-
ed IN the main room OF the Cour. House, and
that is where the deliberations were had.
Chairman Kinkead called the Com mittee
to order by remarking in 3 speech less elo-
quent than brief that the first business to be
transacted was the election OF two Repre-
sentative delegates to the Republican State
Convention, to bs held IN Harrisburg on the
NH day Of February, proxino. The word
NH is emphasized for the reason that Col
Hooton's call for the State Committee meet
ing is dated for the fourth proximo and Col.
Hooton is Chairman Of the Republican State
Committee
Messrs. Peter n. Levergood, of ohnstown,
! and VIM. NJ. Jones, Of Ebensburg, were
elected said delegates though not without
opposition. Esquire Miller, OF Wilmore
and Mr. J. C. Stineman, of South Fork, suf-
fered the extinguishment of their aspirations
on the same ballot
At this juncture. Mr.. Wilse Storey, one of
the Secretaries, obtained the floor Produc-
ing a bundle from the left-hand side of his
coat pocket, be began to read aud read till
four or five sheets Of yellow tissue paper had
been inflicted on patient audience. The
idea of the gentleman was 10 put into effect
a little gaE-law. which failed, however, iu its
accomplishments. In other words, and not
TO be too mild about It. Mr.. Storey's resolu-
ton to instruct Harry Roggs who was sub
sequently chosen Senatorial corferee with
power to appoint his own conferees, was 81 g
rally sat down upon just then.
After Mr.. BOggs had been unanimously
elected Senatorial conferee, the resolutions
OF Mr.. Storey were again read and adopted
without Dissenting voice. They recite in
substance that Hon. ohm a. Lemon is the
choice of Cambria county for Auditor Gen.
( eral, aud that Hon. Daniel J. Morrell is the
right man TO represent this Congressional
district in the National Nominating Con-
ventiou Of the Republican party.
! No preference was indicated for President
though ii is a patent fact that Grant is the
man by large majority.
J A motion was offered By a delegate that
the time for holding the forthcoming Coun-
ty Convention shall be fixed by Chairman
Kinkead. Committeeman Abel Lloyd OBJ
iected TO this way of doing business. He
/ said: 81 think il is putting entirely too
much power into the hands Of anv one man.
But this objection was swept away by a mo-
ticn which Immediately obtained giving that
honor into Kinkead's heuds.
Dissatisfaction, as 4 matter Of course, ex-
lists. Storey il dissatisfied; SO IS Abel
Lloyd /; so are Squire Miller, Mr.. Slime
man, Postmaster James, and others too nu-
merous to mention. But the ball goes on all
/ the same, with Don Cameron, the national
I floor manager and malcontents who don {
dance up to the work Grant or no Grant,
when election day comes around will be
mighty few and far between.
