THAT AUGUSTA CLUB.
Executive Chairman Goddard Says 1t is
Not fractional Organization.

AUGUSTA. Me-, December IL, 1891.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The representations In your editorial on
the formation of Republican club In this
city, do the founders grave injustice
and call for publication In your columns
of the exact truth, which you, in the inter-
est of fair play. will undoubtedly give.aef
You, or any one else, will realize that 1t
is necessary thing to form an organiza-
ton In order to set the ball rolling. Pursu-
ant to call from the secretary of the Re-
publican League, in hurried manner, but
following his explicit directions, some 30
signatures were obtained, and invitations
gwen TO meet for the clubs formation. The
only cause for haste was the desire to be
the first club to organize in the state. The
Ulcers were chosen from young and rep
resentative Republicans. without the ques-
ton of congressional preferences being
thought of, and, until the club was at
Tie dea Of facsou neV
er entered the minds of the organizers.
According to this mornings edition of
that paper, nine of ths thirteen officers are
pronounced for one candidate, probably
meaning Mr.. Manley; TACT which neither
the off :ers themselves, nor any other liv-
ing man at this moment can verify. With
the question of tne first publication of the
n-ws we have nothing to do; 1t was OBJ.
tainable by every paper at the same time,
and was even sent to the Journal bv one of
the officers of the club. who found the Of
fee closed that evening. With the enter
prise of that or any paper In obtaining
news we have no responsibility.
No persons can deprecate any attempt to
make this club factiOnal more than its or
GAMERS. Their only desire is to assist the
Republican party In its coming campaign
and to make assurance douby sure that
active and efficient work will be done for
the cause. The invitation which was
agreed to, and which / send herewith Is
certainly broad enough TO commend Itself
to every Republican and ought to disarm
criticism. Our only desire is to insure
substantial aid to the Republican cause; TO
solidify the party; and to carry 1t to vict0-
ry. The fortunes or successes of any one
man, as the Journal truly says, are imma-
terial and trivial compared to the welfare
OF the party, and with this assurance let
US all stand, shoulder to shoulder, fighting
the common enemy, and without shouting
the personal desires and ambitions of any
candidate for minor Offices.

1T springer upon being called upon,
maize speech. In which he urged the ne
cessity of prompt and energetic action by
the party IL they wish to be successful In
the coming campaign.
Inc committee on rooms reported that
they have secured the rooms at No. 4lg
Market street, the same that has been oe :
cunied by the association for several
years.
1t was decided to hold the nomination
election for Democratic candidates on
Saturday, May 10.
Henry G. Turner, Esq. was present and
made characteristic speech, In which he
said:
Il regret to see the apathy into which
the Democratic party has fallen. This
apathy, however, is not the fault Of the
rank and file, but of the leaders whose
duty II is to guide the masses. Bnt they
do not seem to see and understand this
duty. except when there was some high
political office as a reward. when they are
sure to be at the front.
AT the present time there is urgent ne
cessity for good leaders to come to the
front, not for pecuniary motives but for
the benefit of the party
He also said that II the party hoped to
be successful they must nominate good
men, and not mere ward workers for the
various Offices, and especially for Council.
u Before the meeting adjourned the fol-
lowing were unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That we, the City Democratic
Association In regular meeting assembled,
do heartily endorse the action of Senator
John p. Donahoe and the course he pur-
sued regarding the Five Commissioners
bill and the bill providing for the borrow
ing of $500, 900 for the Improvement of our
streets, and.
Resolved, That we condemn the poig-
| nant attack made by the Every Evening
on the course he has taken, and assure
him of our utmost confidence in the man
iy stand he Inns taken for Wilmington'si in

THE RxruRLacAws Or the city cannot
afford TO squabble on the eve Of enter
ing into the Mhyoralty campaign.
With three such reputable Republicans
as dre candidates there should be no
squabblingnor Ill feeling. The city
would be well governed by either Of
the gentlemen named and good gov
eminent we believe is what the Repub-
licans want. Let the Republicans use
their own discretion in the selection OF
candidate for Mayor and not be in
huenced by any outside pressure or
heated zeal for either.
DR.. Shortlidge would make good
Mayor il elected, 80 would Mr.. Wiley
or Mr.. Baynard, then why get up a
heated contest between them that can
not but result in harm to the Republi-
can party? We were amongst those
who believed from the start that, the
newly adopted plan ofall the candidates
attending ward meetings advocating
their respective merits and claims for
Office would result in more or less i'll
feeling between the candidates and the
friends Of each. Our advice to each of
the candidates would be from now on,
to remain away from these ward
meetings and lot the people alone to
vote uniniiuenced for whom they
please.
