Fixes the Dates Therefor.

Judge Fetterman objected to the Plan,
But Was Overcome.
SOME IMPORTANT SUB-COMMITTEES

The County Republican Executive Com
uittee held its largest meeting this season yes
terday afternoon with Vice President John
n. Neeb in the chair. The purpose was to fix
the number of conventions tor June, 1890,
and to designate the officers to be nominated.
Twenty minutes were consumed in calling
the roll, 200 being present Judge Fetter-
man wanted the roll dispensed with, but
Alderman Schaefer objected, and it was
proceeded with.
Sheriff McCandless offered the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, In accordance with Rule No. 6
of the rules governing the Republican Execu-
tive Committee of Allegheny county, it is pro-
yided tnat 'at least four months previous to
the primary elections and conventional the
Comfy Committee shall determine the number
OF county conventions to be held and officers
to be nominated therein;" therefore be it
Resolved, That primary elections be held on
the first Saturday in June, 1890, between the
hours of and O'Clock p. M, in the several
election districts throughout the county, TO

sioners and a candidate for Assistant Dlstrlct

FOR SEPARATE CONVENTIONS
Judge Fetterman offered an amendment
TO the resolution creating separate con-
yention for each of the general county officers
10 be nominated. This would make eight
conventions instead of four.
Mr. Finn objected to the amendment on
the ground that it would create an army of
delegates, and as there was no opposition
10 the candidates for the several county
offices, he could not see the practlcablllty In
having so many conventions.
Judge Fetterman thought it would create
too much confusion to have two officers
nominated in one convention, and referred
TO the time when all the county officers were
nominated in one convention, and it nearly
ALWAYS took two or three days to make up
the ticket.
DIR. McClarren moved, as an amendment
to the amendment, that the Crawford county
system be adopted; but Chairman Neeb
ruled his motion out of order, for the reason
that the rules provide a system by which all
county officers shall be nominated.
Judge Fetterman's amendment was then
voted on, and was lost by a large majority,
after which the resolution offered by Sheriff
McCandless was adopted, with but one dis
senting voice-that of Judge Fetterman.
Secretary Martin then announced the sub
committees which had been appointed since
the last meeting They embrace a list of 400
names. lie more iE9ortanS committees are

j. NJ. Schaefer suggested that Commit
tee on Complaints and Grievances should
be appointed. Chairman Neeb said that
was unnecessary, as there were never any
complaints or grievances in the Republican
ranks. Mr.. Schaefer thought the Chairman
was wrong, for the leaders were at war all
the time. Chairman Neeb replied that the
County Committee had nothing to do with
the private affairs of the leaders.
Mr.. Schaefer then moved that the regular
meeting of the committee be held on the sec
ond Saturday in each month. This carried,
and the committee will meet next Saturday
to indorse the State ticket.
