men in the city. That we carried the city
in the county election for county officers
over all the other parties combined.
Judge f. T. Martin said b., was earnestly
in favor of organization and keeping the
party intact: it was the only hopes of sue
| cess in the future, and the city admins
tration should be charged to some party.
John W. Adams thought in a city so
| large some political party should be held
responsible for the city administration.
That the Republican vote was growing
less because the city is found in a disor-
ganized condition. and eventually the
county would become Democratic if the
city did not organize.
Judge Jewett said he thought thorough
organization of the city was right and
proper. 1t might be determined later on
whether TO nominate ticket or not.
Mr. E. T. Allen thought we should or
ganize and if we organize we should nom
mate ticket of straight business men
that would command the respect OF
all good citizens and be better
such a ticket could be elected. Other par
ties are organizing and expect to elect
their men whether nominated or not as
their own candidates
G. II. Brooks-I believe we stand in no
danger of defeat, if we nominate a good,
straight Republican ticket. We have
weakened party ties all along the line by
putting no ticket in nomination; in spite
of all isms we carried the city for the
county ticket. For the sake of the county
we should keep up our organization in the
city. The dominant party has no grounds
to fear The closer the lines are drawn
the safer the Republican party. The Re
publican party has majority in this city.
The only hope of the Democracy is the dis
organization of the Republican party.
The following resolution was introduced
by f. T. Allen, and adopted:
Resolved, That il is the sense of this
meeting that the Republican party of this
city organize, and place in nomination a
Republican ticket for the coming city cleo
ton.
