REPUBLICANS TAKE THE INITIATIVE.

FALLING THE CITIZENS TOGETHER FOR A FAIR
MEETING-woRK OF THE HARLEM CLUB
At the meeting Of the Harlem Republican Club on
Saturday evening a special committee OF five. com
posed of Thomas W. Robinson, d. T. Porter, Colonel
c. B. Pierce, Abram Steers and A. VI. Cnderhll was
appointed to consider the Worlds Fair matter The
members of the club that it IS time that Harlem
people arouse themselves bring the discussion before
the public and see what the feeling is concerning the
proposed site Now that they have taken the in
ative step the members Of the special committee hope
that the other clubs of Harlem, both social and poit
cal will do likewise, that the members Of the
different committees of the several clubs can confer
with each other looking toward the calling Of public
meeting at which bankers, merchants and all of the
prominent men of Harlem may be present to express
their views.
II has not been demonstrated even in the Harlem
Republican Club where the movement started, or yet
by an actual vote, whether the majority of the men
5ers are in favor Of the present Site or not; IN fact
Il is said that there are number of men who do not
favor il. But it IS thought by those who are in
position 10 know that the of opinion is heartily
in favor of the Site and It is believed that as soon
as the discussion is begun those who now antagonze
will see the of their ways and Wal heartily
support the plan. II it is found, after the different
clubs have appointed committees and public meeting
IS called that the majority of the citizens are In favor
of the present site, then proper resolutions will be
the members that they will have the hearty support
and cooperation Of Harlems most influential citizens
The regular monthly meeting of the Harlem Repub-
hcan Club will be held on Tuesday evening, when
several important matters Will be voted on. One OF
them Is an amendment to the constitution which
VIII provide that members failing TO pay their quar-
terly dues VIII be dropped their names VIII DO
posted on the bulletin board when in arrears they
VIII not have the right to vote for officers of the club
nor on any proposed amendment OF the bylaws This
action is taken because some of the members have got
little careless about paying their dues The mum
Der Of denquents in this respect is not large how
ever, and the list of names of those who are in ar
rtsrS contains the names Of many men who have been
out Of town this summer, and mainly
this account have not paid their
dues promptly. The club afford TO be a
ltte strict In this respect however and the members
have decided 10 take hold of the matter In time and
thus prevent any serious lapSes In the future.
The following have been favOrably acted
upon TUESDAY evening: Thomas Allison /. b.
