KICKED CLEAR OVER.
Dissatisfied Republicans Will Call q
New Convention.
BACKERS OF THE STRAIGHT-OUTS
Have Absolutely No Faith in the Present
Party Leaders.
MAYOR GOURLEY REFUSES TO SERVE

The straight-out Republicans met yester.
! day and decided they didn't want a meeting
of the Republican County Committee called,
but would go it alone and risk a euchre.
Thirty-five Republicans from various parts
/ of the county were present and they or.
ganized by electing Daniel Smith Chairman.
Arch H. Rowand said the object was to have
the Republican party hold primaries and a
convention and nominate three candidates
for the judiciary and one for District At
torney.
John b. Kennedy, of Allegheny, wanted 20
members of the County Committee to sign q
call to Chairman Gripp for another meeting
of the committee. He thought the people
ripe for revolt, and said that the names of
two dead men, wainwright, of Lawrence
vile, and Lyon, of Allegheny. were called at
the meeting of the committee, and he be-
lieved their names were voted against
Rowands resolution. Mr.. Kennedy said if
he were on the election board in C. J..
Magee's district he, the speaker, would not
allow him to vote at the primaries on ac-
count of his supporting Pattison against
Delamater and helping to place the State
under Democratic control.
AFRAID OF ANOTHER MEETING.
Mr. Rowand opposed Mr.. Kennedy and said
that if another meeting of the committee
were called they would come out of it like
whipped dogs, as the committee would be
packed and another meeting would place
the straight-outs in the hands of the oppo-
sition SO that the sympathy of the people
would be lost. He said he liked Finn be-
cause he was q fighter, but for nothing else.
Captain Brarif, of the Sixth ward. Allie
gheny City, was also opposed to calling for
another meeting of the committee and Said
he would not sign a CALL He said the bosses
had trampled on the rules at the last meet
ing and asked what assurance they had that
they wouldn't be trampled upon again.
Mr.. Trimble said he was opposed to asking
for what belonged to them.
Thomas Fleeson, of Tarentum, moved for
the formation of a permanent organiza-
tion.
people were baking the straight-out move
nlent in the hope that the committee would
call a meeting for the purpose of recCnsid-
ering the action of the 18th inst.
Mr.. Kennedy moved to amend Mr.. Flee
sons motion by substituting a resolution re-
questing the Chairman of the committee to
call Il meeting to reconsider This amend
ment was crushed fiat, and the motion to
form permanent organization carried
unanimously.
WANT A CONVENTION OF THEIR OWN.
William Gibbs opposed supplication and
said they would only place themselves in
the hands of the parties who stole the fran
chise and give them chance to confirm the
steal.
Mr.. Rowand offered the following:
