There was lively session of the Demo-
cratic County Committee last night The
meeting was an interesting one because
of the imnortance of the business trans.
acted. but more particularly because OF
the hauling over the Goals Chairman
O'Donnell gave every committeeman.
Chairman O'DonnelI informed the men,
bers that there was great lack of inter-
est being manifested in the party's well
fare. You have become negligent, {"
said the Chairman. "Many of you make
no attempt to strengthen the party. This
business must stop or you will wake up
when it is too late. This is no place for
drones. We need workers at the present
time and earnest ones. Our committees
are in deplorable state. 10 my knowledge
but one committee has organized to meet
our opponents in the coming campaign
and that is the Organization Committee
1t is an important committee, but what
can 1t do alonep The Naturalization
committee, Finance and Auditing and
all other committees are yet to be organ
lied, and for my part have not heard q
word about any more for organization.
What do you think Will happen if this
condition of affairs is permitted to existe
You must, one and all, get to work and
work hard. We have been idle too long
Already aud now we must wake up and
make up for lost Time"
ENTHUSIASM AROUSED.
The popular Chairman was cheered.
and the Committeeman determined to let
10 grass grow undei their feet. The
business before the committee was the
fixing OF time for the election of dele
gates to the Congressional and Senatorial
Conventions. The primaries will ee held
on the twenty-ninth inst. The Conven-
tlons will take place October 4; the Con-
gressional al two o'clock and the Sena-
1oriaI at four o'clock. The Assembly
Convention primaries will be fixed at the
next meeting OF the County Committee.
A naturalization burean with head
quarters at the Court House was also de-
Clded upon. Justice Davis will be the
Chairman of this bureau. A branch COM
niltee will be organized in every district
In the county to look after this work,
Last year it was discovered that of the
three or four thousand persons natural
lied, 40 per cent. were Republicans. The
expense OF this work was borne by the
Democratic County Committee. The
committee will naturalize only Demo-
Gratis. Arrangements were also perfected
whereby persons residing in Harrison
and Kearny townships desiring to obtain
naturalization papers can receive them
instead of having to Journey to the Court
House in this city.
ACTIVE WORK,
Some of the committeeman failed to
file with Chairman O'DonneIl the names
of their Supervisors of Election. These
gentlemen were given untiItwelye O'Clock
today to complete their lists. Commit
tees will be organized in every precinct
in the county. Each committeeman was
directed to organize Precinct Commit
lee of at least ten workers, and in this
manner one Thousand organized Demo-
ratio workers will be secured.
Many of the committeeman reported
favorable conditions as existing ia their
precincts. Speeches urging the Demo-
Gratis to work this full for the entire
Democratic ticket were made by Presf.
dent Feeney. Mervyn Armstrong. james
Connolly, Justice Davis and Chairman
O'Donnell.
The committee will be better organized
this fall than In many preceding years.
