over the appointment of James Baker,

is President of the Association. Baker
Is not as popular with the members as he
would like to have people imagine and
when he was appointed they were greatly
surprised.
An investigation was made. and it was
found that Mr.. Clarke visit ed the ex-H on
orable Jailer Davis, and told him that
the Kimmerly Association wanted Mr..
Baker appointed to the clerkship.
Baker was appointed. and now he is
su ffering from an enlarged Uranium. He
has tried on every occasion TO run

stand that sort of thing. and the matter
has developed into ripe row.
Baker holds the Office of Corresponding

election of officers will be held on next

a candidate for reelection. He will have
an opponent in Mr.. Thomas Jacob. There
will be two tickets. Clarke will have
one, aud the 'reformers," as the kick

the other.
The "reformers" are also bitterly op-
posed to the present Treasurer, Mr.. Max
Erdwurm, and an effort is also to be
made TO turn him down." The reform

for the Republican candidates. and claim
that they have undeniable proof that he
did. Mr.. Erdwurm will also be candi-

An effort will also be made, it Is said,
to change the name of the organization.

A REPUBLICAN ROW.
County Committeemen Who Favor Elec
tlon Scoundrel Stumpf.

County Committeeman Who Favor Eiec-
tion Scoundrel Stumpf.
The last meeting of the Republican
County Committee, which conducted the
recent campaign in this county. was held
last night. Notice of a contested Hobokeu
primary for the election of committee
man was filed.
After come trifiing business incident to
the expiration of the old committee, a
proposition, which created long and ex-
cited debate, was made by one OF the
members of the committee 1t was that
the County Com mittee should go to the
front in behalf of John Stumpf, the con-
victed ballot box stuffer from the noJori-
GUS Bath House" precinct. Stumpf was
convicted and sentenced to eighteen
months at State Prison, but he appealed
and is now ont on bail.
1t Was urged that Stumpf only con-
sented to accept the position OF Inspector
OF Election after he had been requested to
do so by q number of the members of the
County Committee, and that his offenSe
was one of ignorance and stupidity. and
that he signed the returns because he was
threatened bodily injury if he did not. A
howl of Indignation came from a great
majority of the members present. and
dozen men were in an instant on
their feet Protests came thick aud
fast, and the proposition was denounced
in language that was unmistakable. It
was said by those who opposed the
scheme that Stumpf failed in his duty.
He knew that frauds were being COM
mitted IN his election precinct, but he Of
fered no protest. He did not go to the
County Committee after tbe election was
over, and the frauds were being investi-
gated, and tell the Committee what he
knew, and be also RETAINED from giving
any Information TO the Investigating
Committee.
The movement in favor Of committing
the County Committee to the support OF
Stumpf had been we'll planned before 1t
WAS sprung. and it had a number OF Wig
orous supporters. but they were in great
minority, and, although the heated dis
cussions lasted for very long time, they
were completely knocked out.
A motion to lay the proposition on the
table was adopted by vote SO large that
the friends of the ballot box stuffer gave
up the fight, and Stumpf need not expect
any aid from the County Committee.
The Committee unanimously adopted
resolution TO present to the Court a
vigorous protest against the treatment
of the alleged negro repeaters who were
arrested. and who it, is alleged, have re-
peatedly demanded trial. but have been
unable to procure 1t. The protest will be
sent to the Court immediately.
