party. and the Spanish-American race,
obtained the permission to use the name
OF the party from the Republican county
central committee in issuing invitations
to grand ball and political gathering
to be held at Turverein hall, on Satur-
day, the 10th inst, and, furthermore,
the county committee agreed to stand
the major part of the expense on that
occasion. Mr.. j. P. Goytino, editor of
LIE Progress, associated himself with Mr..
Appel, in the venture, in the hopes OF
drawing to the meeting and ball the
Republicans OF French origin that might
be inclined to grace the "funcion" with
their presence.
1t was well understood between the
impresarios of the fiesta that the call
was to be made under the auspices of
the central committee, since that body,
having to pay for the fun, necessarily
expected to reap the advantages to &C.
crue, at the polls.
As far as Mr.. Appel is concerned, he
fulfilled his part Of the agreement faith
fully. The invitations issued are in
nowise deceptive, and have the full
approval of the Republican party CEN
tral committee.
But Mr.. Goytino's manner of comply
ing with the contract was, to say the
least, peculiar; and that it has not met
with the enthusiastic commendation of
the Republican party will appear fur
ther on.
1t is no exaggeration to say that of
the French voters in the county per
cent are Republican, on the outside.
Now call or invitation to listen to the
eloquence of Mr.. Goytino, on what he
doesn't know about the party which he
honors with his support, would never
have drawn to Turnverein hall any of
the 81 per cent of French citizens who
stand to triumph or fall with Cleveland
and Stevenson, and it is doubtful wheth-
er the few who will vote for Grandpa
Harrison's little descendant would have
cared to be bored further on the subject
in their native tongue.
In order to draw the French popula-
tion to the ball, and to impress the Re-
publican party with the magni-
tude of his pull and influence
over it, Mr.. Goytino, who was ex-
pected to translate the Spanish invita-
tion, and no more, issued one in which
the Republican party is totally ignored,
and no allusion whatever is made to the
political character of the gathering.
The delusive Goytino calls it q grand
ball and literary exercises; and, while
he has kindly remembered the Republi-
can party sufficiently to appoint Judge
Charles Silent honorary president of the
literary exercises and ball, without that
gentleman's knowledge, the three
fourths of the remaining officers and
committeeman on his invitations are all
French Democrats, and absolutely diff
ferent persons from those on the invita-
tions printed in Spanish.
This action on the part of Mr.. Coy
tino is self-evident. He wants to get
the nomination for city auditor on the
Republican ticket, and he wants to i'm
press the Republican leaders with his
powerful magnetism over his country
men. II they attend in body, that
would show that he ia strictly in it,"
and the committee, having no
knowledge of the wording of
Mr.. Goytino's personal invita-
tions, would have been deceived. If it
| is votes that he seeks, he hunts them
solely for himself, and leaves his party
out in the cold, as the invitation clearly
indicates. A large number of French
citizens, however, registered kicks with
the central committee in regard to the
matter. and it then turned out that
Goytino's invitation was not in accord
ance with the expectations of the lead
ers at all; that it was deceptive, and
| issued neither in good faith to the Re-
publican party nor the French citizens.
Judge Silent, when interrogated on
| the matter, said guardedly:
"Mr. H. H. Appel and Mr.. Goytino
were authorized by the Republican
county central committee to, get up
meeting at Turnverein hall on the Goth
instant for Spanish and French Repub-
licans, with such friends and associates
az they cared to invite, and to provide
such entertainment as the Republican
county central committee approved OF.
| 1t was to be known as meeting and
entertainment to be held and given un
| der the auspices of the Republican
| county committee and as Republican
meetingg If any one has designated the
| meeting otherwise, or invited any one to
| meeting of any other character, it is
wholly without authority from us. The
Republican county committee will not
consent that any voter, native or for
eien born, shall be deceived in any
manner nor lured to any meeting under
any improper pretense.
Another member of the committee
expressed himself as dumbfounded at
the boldness of the affair.
