republican committees are sending letters
TO the many republican clerks in the gov
eminent departments at Washington asking
for contributions to the national and state
republican campaign funds,and most of these
Letters receive the desired response. But
for all that, when a democratic Congress
man goes to federal department and asks
that place be given to good and true

The First Meeting of the New


The First Mceting of the New
EssnFsi.
The Board OF Freeholders met yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock. Colonel Wal
tor S. Moore called the meeting to order,
and w. w. Robinson was elected tenn
porary secretary. General Mansfield
read the section of the statutes under
which the freeholders are elected, and
are to frame new charter. On motion
of Colonel Moore, Mayor Workman was
elected permanent chairman, and on
motion Of Mr. Brown, Colonel Moore was
elected permanent secretary. General
Mansfield then said that in his opinion
there was no necessity for the appoint
rnent OF committees to frame new charter
He hadread the one framed by the prior
Board OF Freehoiders and thought that
with o few changes it would suit the peo-
pie. Ho therefore moved to adjourn
until Tuesday next, at which time he
would move to take up the charter sec
tion by section, the Board acting as q
Committee OF the Whole.
Mr.. Robinson suggested that it might
facilitate matters to appoint committee
OF three on order OF business, but this
suggestion did not meet with the APP
prevail OF the rest of the members On
motion Of Mr.. Robinson it was decided
to ask the Council to furnish the station
cry and supplies necessary. The Board
then adjourned until Wednesday morn
ing next st 10 o'clock, and the Secretary
was requested to notify all absent mem
bers to be present.
