Organising.
The Republican city central commit
tee held a meeting last evening. The
lonp-hair element was on hand, and
they embraced the opportunity to refer
TO the shameless and disgraceful prima-
ries, of few weeks ago, every time they
got q chance. Vacancies on the COM
mittee were filed. The name Of that
eminent reformer, Sam Adams, was
added to the committee, and it was de-
cided to hold the next primaries under
the Porter law.
It was a little after O'Clock when
Chairman Walter S. Moore called the
committee to order. He stated that the
object of the meeting was to fill vacan :
cies on the committee, and to consider
as to how the city primaries should be
held and when.
The roll of committeeman was called,
and it was discovered that majority OF
the members were present.
M. L. Starin moved that the chairman
appoint hepupliCnhc w hAA eAo NoOoA-
cies on the committee.
Chairman Moore said that all he
wanted to do was to please the bonafide
Republicans OF every precinct in the
citv. in the matter OF appointing election
primary like the last one.
A petition was presented, asking that
Sam Adams be appointed committee
man from the Fourth ward.
The chairman eaid he wanted to take
no snap Judgment on anyone, and would
appoint no one to fill vacancy until he
had consulted the Republicans Of the
ward. III
James Meredith, moved that all COM
mitteemen who, by virtue of NOV
ing out of their precinct into another,
had forfeited their places on the COM
mittee, be added to the committee at
large. The motion prevailed.
w. l. Shanklin was appointed to the
committee from the Fourth precinct.
vice s. A. Garrett, resigned. Inquiry
failed to elicit whether George Flint
was etill in the Thirteenth precinct or
not, and his name was passed. o. B.
Phillips was named in the Seventeenth
precinct, instead of F. p. Hamilton. j.
A. Davis, OF the Twenty-seventh pre-
cinct, having removed from the city, the
Fifth ward Republican club was author
lied to fill the vacancy. M. j. McGrew
was appointed from the Twenty-eighth
precinct to succeed M. L. Barker. A. M.
Austin was selected to fill the vacancy
in the Thirtieth precinct and Sam Adams
and w. F.. X. Parker were named
in the Thirty-third precinct. G. E. Day
was appointed from the Thirty-nihth
precinct, in lieu OF E. j. Niles. John
Burns was selected in the Forty-frst,
and +. T. Wright in the Fortieth. A.
J.Vignes was appointed for the Twelfth,
and w. r. Sergeant for the Sixteenth.
@. M. Smell made protest on the ap-
pointmente from the Seventh ward, and
the vacancies from that ward not al
ready filled were passed.
Next came the question as to the
primaries. The chairman, Walter s.
Moore, announced that he was in favor
of holding it under the Porter law. 1t
might prove expensive, but it would
not be as expensive as the ordinary pri-
mary, with the accompanying scraps.
He was in favor OF clean, satisfactory
primary.
John Burns was in favor OF holding
primary under the Porter law. He
wanted no more primaries like the last
one.
Committeeman Garrett was afraid
that the Porter law conflicted with the
present election law. This apprehen-
sion could not be removed until he had
carefully examined the Porter law and
the conflicting statutes.
H. @. Register moved that commit
tee of five be appointed to investigate
and report on what steps were necessary
to hold the primary under the Porter
law. The motion prevailed, and the fol-
lowing committee was appointed: III. T..
Hazard, M. L. Wills, Geo. w. Knox, s.
A. Thomas, T. H. Ward.
1t was decided that the next meeting
be held Tuesday evening.
The question as to what representa-
tion would govern the delegates to the
city convention came up. At the laet
city convention there were 254 delegates,
on basis Of one delegate for each 25
Republican votes, and one for each pre-
cinct.
There was kick on this basis of rep
resentation, and on motion the whole
matter was laid over for one week, go
that the kickers could get their protest
formulated.
REPUBLICAN KICKERS.
The camp of the Republican brethren
at Pasadena is rent by the dissatisfied
politicians, and the voice of the kicker
is heard in the land. The Pasadena
representatives of the 3. o. p. are keep
ing up their reputation in this respect
in an excellent manner.
From the time BeDnie was nominated
down to the late township nominations,
there has been q continual kick from
dissatisfied factions.
The latest affair that has stirred up
the camp of the enemy, occurred in the
township convention, held here yester-
day. Capt. Tubbe, IN old veteran OF
both the Mexican and civil wars, was
placed in nomination for the Office OF
justice of the peace, and his name was
thrown out, because he was not present
to pay his $5 assessment. This action of
the convention stirred the ancient bat
tie ire of the veteran, and he proceeded
to make it extremely interesting for the
parties concerned, denouncing the affair
in no mincing terms.
Nor is this the end OF the rumpus that
this little convention has raised. It
seems that all candidates were re-
quired to swear to support the
Republican ticket, from top to
bottom. This gag stuck in the throat of
