Republican, Politics.
The Westminster Republican club has q
membership of about 200 and is actively al
work. The detection Of the Rcop- Huber
Goodwin faction does not seem to have had
much effect upon the interest of the success
full side, and they are working with a will
The colored brethren are being drilled into
the new way of voting, and every mother 5
son of them will cast ballot in November
for high taxation and a Force bill.
The faction fight here has left deep wounds
and it is hard for the defeated faction to re
coneile themselves in the minority position
They will have to march under the banner o
McKellip and Sharrer, and follow thei
leadership. The dose is bitter, but they viii
have to Join the procession, not only Thu
year, but next year also. To show the ami
mostly the Roop Huber Goodwin faction
bears to their conquerors, it is said that an APP
pointee from Carroll in the internal revenue
service at Baltimore, and who was with th'
McKellip- Sharrer side in the recent contests
was recently written to by one Of the leaders
of the minority that unless he retracted GER
tain statements he, the said leader, would
have him discharged. The appointee, o
course, cond only smile at such threat
The minority faction have neither the infu
ence to remove nor appoint and have nei
counted in this respect since the Republicans
gained power in 1889. Neither will they
have any voice in such matters in the event
of Harrison's re- election. The Presiden
nor his subordinates could not afford to turn
aside the leaders of the county and do the
bidding of few ambitious politicians who
f have been repeatedly repudiated by the party
