vice presidents; Arthur f. Smith. recording
secretary; VIM. L. w. Seabrook, correspond
ing secretary; Wm. H. Bell. Jr., treasurer.
With the election OF president all interest
died, and the club rushed through business
and adjourned. The defeated side looked
like funeral procession as it filed out of the
room and down the steps. A few Of the faith
ful, including the ex postmaster, the ex-
wanted to be postmaster, eX-wanted to- be
member of the House of Delegates, and a
custom house officer, walked down to head
quarters and discussed the matter. Some
excuse for defeat had to be given out, and it
was concluded that fraud was perpetrated and
more ballots we're cast than there were voters
present. This was not unusual at a Repub-
lican meeting, but still no other cause could
be assigned for defeat. The next day this
charge was on the lips of all the defeated, and
several got more excited than there was ne
cessity for.
Among the vice presidents were two of the
minority, and these, it is said, have declared
they would not serve.
TheiMcKellip- Sharrer side are not disturbed
by the talk of the minority. They say they
expected no contest, had made no preparation
far one, and were interested only in the vel
fare of the party; that they We're only driven
to put up one of their men because the other
side arbitrarily undertook TO run the club all
their own way; that they had intended pro-
posing gentleman for president who was not
identified with faction. They also claim that
had they known contest for the organization
of the club was to have been made they could
have marshaled their forces and won by more
than 100 majority. AS to the AZ votes they
IL .2at
for each of the ballots.
The detection of the defeated will make but
little difference in the Republican vote in the
district, they say The II votes the minority
cast measures the strength of the faction in
the district, and of these far more than half
are Republicans who care more for the party
than for individuals
