The Americus Club did not reconsider its
action of indorsing the stand taken by the
Executive Committee of the State League
of Republican Clubs. Instead of a prize
fight last night there was love feast. The
subject was not broached. and the reason
why was that the Dalzen people were
blufed out
AT the last meeting when the Quay con-
tingent worked in the stroke for Robinson
the Dalzell faction howled. They decided
that the resolution would have TO be recon-
sidered and broken down. Dalzell's friends
started to work at once and would
have secured sufficient votes to spoil
the previous action. The Robinson
faction learning of this declared that if the
resolution was reconsidered they would go
to Scranton and have the Americus Club
delegates thrown out because number of
votes had been thrown aside on the night
of the election. The Dalzell people might
have won, but the fact that Jack Robinson
will control the committee on contested
seats gave them but little hope. Rather
than run the risk of losing the delegates
the Dalzen people promised to let the
former stand and they kept their word.
