DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CLUB.
A Permanent Organization Ef-
fected Last Night.
Persuant to a call a large number
of the prominent Democrats OF the
city met at Judge Hutton's court room
for the purpose of organizing Demo
cratic Central Club. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. Samuel Ham
ilton, who briefly stated the object OF
the organization.
MIR. John mckinley nominated Mr..
j. j. Hanford as permanent chair
man, but that gentleman declined to
accept.
Mr.. Robert Dominguez moved that
the chair appoint a committee con-
sisting OF one member from each
ward, to report on permanent organ
ization. The following committee was
appointed: First Ward, j. Davidson ;
Second Ward, L. Levy; Third Ward !,
R. @. Carlton; Fourth Ward, A. Os-
thoff; Fifth Ward, Capt. A. w. Bar
rett. The committee presented the
following report:
We, the committee, offer the fol-

President, R. Bilderrain; Third Vice
President, S. Hamilton Fourth Vice
President, s. j. Beck, Fifth Vice
President, G. W. Glowner; Secretary,
Assistant Secretary, r. Dominguez (;
Treasurer, J. J. Hanford.
We recommend that the Vice-Presi-
dent constitute the Executive Com
mittee of this organization.
Respectfully, J. Davidson, L. Levy,
R. G. Carlton, Albert Osthoff, A. w.
Barrett.
On motion, the report was unani-
mously adopted, whereupon Mr..
Hamilton introduced, in few well
chosen words, the permanent chair
man, Mr.. Mackay.
Mr.. A. +. Mackay stated that he
was almost Of the mind to decline the
honor conferred upon him as he was
comparatively a stranger to the work
in the city; however, upon second
thought he took the position willingly,
feeling that it was the duty of every
Democrat to do all in his power to
further the interests Of the party he
represented.
Mr.. G. w. Glowner stated that he
felt the fact of Mr.. Mackay being at
the head OF the club would insure its
success.
On motion of Mr.. Glowner the Ex-
ecutive Committee was instructed to
submit and frame constitution and
bylaws at the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Harry w. Patton moved that g
committee OF one from each ward be
appointed to confer with the County
Central Committee.
The following committee was ap
pointed: First Ward, Geo. B. Griffin
Second Ward, II. I. d. Wilson Third
Ward, s. Prayer; Fourth Ward, 0.
H. Bliss; Fifth Ward, o. H. Violet.
On motion Of William S. Waters, Mr..
Louis T. Jacobs was elected Sergeant
alarms for the club.
Mr.. Glowner moved that the roll OF
the club be opened, and that nom
inal entrance fee of 50 cents be
charged. Carried.
Mr.. Waters moved to reconsider
the exacting of a fee, it being un-
democratic. Carried.
A collection OF $19.55 was taken.
On motion, the Treasurer was III
structed to pay certain bills incurred
in advertising the call of the prior
and present meeting.
Mr.. Hamilton suggested that il
would be we'll to organize subordinate
clubs in each ward to work under the
supervision Of the Central Club.
Mr.. Levy moved that committee
of three be appointed in each precinct
by the chair, and that they be in
structed to organize a club in each
precinct in the city.
Mr.W. r. Burke very much favored
this plan, as it would organize the
forces and yet permit every man to
act Independently.
Capt. Barrett offered as substitute
that a special meeting be called by
the Chairman OF the City Central
Committee, at which time there be
appointed committees in the respec-
tive precincts to organize the desired
clubs.
Mr.. Hamilton felt that the motion
of Mr.. Levy, if it prevailed, would
insure a strong working organization
Hon. J. Marion Brooks opposed
both the motion of Capt. Barrett and
Mr.. Levy.
Mr.. w. R. Mcintosh replied in very
emphatic language, and upon motion,
Capt. Barrett's motion was laid on
the table.
Mr.. Mcintosh moved that the
committee confer with the County
and City Committees, and recommend
the holding of caucuses in each of the
precincts Friday night, for the pur-
pose of nominating delegates to the
County Convention, to be elected at
the primaries next Saturday.
On motion an adjournment was
taken until 7:3O P. NJ. on Saturday
next.
