SHAM REORGANIZATION.
Tie Local Republican
Leaders Have No Idea
Of Letting 60 Their
Hold.
HE PAaGB0RE DEAR HOWL.
A Movement to Suppress Local
Rule Male to Pass for
p i Reform.

For SEVERAL aks past Dr.. paHEborn,
the amanueu} ,f Mr.. Joseph rs Dear,
has been max insane APPS as to the
Republicans organize ii party in
this county. not only has appealed.
buN has said would be done, q state
uent as f&Ise al most political rsnasks Ia
the EggHtaa , oarnal. In a conversation
a leading Republican, who Is Federal
of1ceh5lders yesterday said to nae:--
10 REORGANIZATION CONTEMPLATED.
Reorganization noshi The only thing
about the Republican party in this
county that requires recognizing is the
alleged Republican, but really Demo-
cratic paper. the Eueaing journal. OF
course ycn know that Pangborn and Dear
are not recognized as Republicans by the
leaders OF the party in the county. aud
this howl that they have set up was done
for the purpose Of trying to reinstate
themselves in the party TO reap the bene-
Cts Of the Presidential campaign
THAT course is admitted, but there
must have been some foundation for this
action."
Il will tell you what it was at a
meeting Of the County Committee. some
time age, It WINS suggested that consti-
pose Of discussing the best method TO pre-
vent Republican conventions no1inaf-
ing Democrats. as was recently done in
HoboEen and Bayonnen
1t seems to nae that this action casts
serious reflection on the characters Of
these Republicans. -
$50 it does and SO it ought. The Coun-
ty Committee decided that some action OF
this character should be taken. and in
| consequence delegates will be chosen &c
meet IN convention during tie latter part
OF 5eDtember.
TO WHIP gEcREASTs INTO LINE.
Sene years ago the members Of the
maze the City Committee also They
had full control Of all the primaries an
city conventions. Ia no other part OF the
| county is this true, and delegates mother
towns and cities have n0on &c hold them
responsible for their misconduct. The
County Committee has no authority over
them and cannot hold them 10 account.
Now Silis entire story OF Reorganization
simply Hgegus that the convention to DO
called shall devise and make amendments
TO the bylaws that will place the enrlra
eeunty under the same supervision that
is exercised Ia this city. "
coL0TEL DIcKISSON's VIEWS.
Meeting Postmaster Dickinson later In
the day, l Inquired Of him Il Sswsl,
| Blaine or Harrison had anything to do
! with this local action Of he patty He
\ laughed and declared positively that he
had no idea hat Mr.. SeweiA had the
\ faintest ideR OF the MATTER and that It
| was absurd to think that President Har-
risou or Secretary Blaine did. Colonel
Dickinson said that the Constitutional
| Convention would be composed of TWEEN II
| delegates from each district He de-
nonncea the action Of the Republicans in
Hobeken and Bayonne last spring, and
said that for the good of tina party a
change must be made that Will make
delegates responsible to some one in the
outlying districts.
JUDGE SEYMOUR SAYS THE SAME THING.
Ex-Judge Seymour expressed the same
sentiments uttered by the Postmaster
/ and added that in his belief the first aud
greatest step TO be taken by the party IN
this county TO aid it to victory was TO
start newspaper that would represent
Republicans and Republican views. He
denounced the Journal IN round terms
as ever'b being willing TO betray the party
for gain, and expressed his opinion Of
Dear and Pangborn in forcible language.
He did not call either of them Christian
or a gentleman.
The Judge assured me that there was
to be no reorganization In the sense
spoken Of BIZ Pangborn, that no change
/ in the County Committee would be made
other than to give it additional power, no
| change in the manner of electing its
members would be made. There would
be no limitation TO their power IN any
particular. Judge Seymour laughed at
the idea OF DIR. Sewen knowing anything
asout the local affairs Of the party.
