HUBBARD RESIGNS.
MEETING OF REPUBLICAN LEADERS
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
They Do Not Want TO He Led by Men
Who VIII Not support
the Ticket.

A meeting of the Republican County
Central Committee, together with officers
of the various Republican clubs, was held
Yesterday afternoon at the committee
rooms on street.
Joseph Steffens presided, and it was an
nounced that the purpose of the meeting
was to consider the action of the so called
independents in placing several of the
regular Republican nominees on their
ticket and also to express their disapproval
of the peculiar actions of @. H. Hubbard,
who had been acting the role of Gem.
mander of the Markham Brigade and
leader of the "bolters."
Some of the committeeman were de-
cidedly in favor of peremptorily removing
Mr.. Hubbard from the command of the
Brigade.
Mr., Ste ffens, however, saved the COM
mittee this trouble by drawing from his
pocket letter from Hubbard, in which
the latter
RENDERED HIS RESIGNATION,
Accompanied by an explanation of his
conduct. Mr.. Steffens explained that owing
to the fact that time was short and delays
dangerous. he had assumed the response
bility OF accepting Mr.. Hubbard's resigna-
ton, and be had gone still further, by ap-
pointing Charles S. Houghton to take the
place made vacant by Hubbard's resigua-
ZION. Mr.. Steffens assured the committee
that he was not trying to be arbitrary, but
only went ahe4d with these matters to save
time.
By unanimous vote the committee ap-
proved Mr.. S,efieus' action. and his sp-
pointment of Mr.. Houghton, and he was
rendered the thanks Of the committee.
Just then Frank Bergman, of the Cheer
full Workers, entered the room for the pur.
pose of protesting on behalf Of his club
against Hubbard as Commander of the
Brigade He said that he did not believe
the club could be induced to turn out
again under Huboard's leadership
When il was explained to Mr.. Bergman
that Mr. Hubbard had already resigned, he
had no further complain, to offer.
Major Ennis, upon being granted the
privilege of making few remarks, stated
that he was member of the original Mark
ham Brigade committee which waited
upon Mr.. Hubbard and requested him to
take command of the brigade. Mr.. Ennis
said he felt doubtful of Mr.. Hubbard s
loyalty to the party at that time. but he
believed that by giving him the command
of the brigade it would have tendency to
harmonic matters, and do more good than
harm. He soon discovered his mistake,
however. and at subsequent meeting OF
that committee 50 expressed himself.
MR. sHERBURN's CANDIDACY.
NJ. A. Howard then addressed the conf
mit.ee. He said that William II. Sher-
burn, Captain of the Markham Glee Club,
had been nominated by the Independents
for Supervisor of the First District, and he
understood that Mr.. Sherburn had accepted
the nomination and was going to make a
fight" for the Office. He did not think
that Mr.. Sher5urn could consistently cap
tain regular Republican club and at the
same time be candidate on the "bolters' I"
ticket. Something should be done, and
Mr.. Howard suggested that Mr.. Sherburn
be requested TO hand in his resignation as
Captain of the Glee Club Immediately.
Major Ennis thought the best way to
proceed was to request the President of the
Mr. Sherburn and obtain his resignation.
Mr. Bruner was willing to accept the
duty, and motion in accordance with Mr..
Ennis views was carried.
THE "INDUPENDEST' TICKET.
After a brief discussion of the arrange
ments for the reception of Hon. W. w
Morrow tomorrow evening, all those
present except the County Central Commit
tee. withdrew. Chairman Win. j. Davi;
called the committee to order and stated
that he had proposition to present. He
saw in the RECORD UNION that the so-caleC
Independents" had nominated county
ticket, on which appeared the names o
various of theregular Republican nominees
Mr.. Davis said the Democratic party wa:
regular recognized political party, anC
when it Endorsed the candidates of othel
parties that was its own lookout. But the
Independents" were supposed to be a Sc
ject was to knife few of the Republican
nominees, and there was wide distinction
between them, as an organization, and tn,
Democratic party. His idea was that thu
Republican County Central Commute,
should learn who were st the head of til,
"bolters," and request them MOI to prin
the names of Republican candidates OF
their tickets.
Someone suggested that a better wa,
would be to do as was done two years ag,
have the Republican candidates selecte'
by the "bolters" publish card publicly de
Ginning TO run on that ticket.
One Committeeman said he was in favo
of taking from the ticket any and every Re
publican candidate who would not disap
prove the "bolters' " Endorsement.
After some further discussion on the sub
ject, it was unanimously agreed to hold {
meeting of the committee on Tuesday after
noon, when the Republican candidate!
would be invited TO be present, and def
mite plan agreed upon.
