The bolt OF Messrs. LOwenstein and

plaint OF the younger element that they
had been ignored ia the makeup
of tho committee struck some
OF the members as well founded,

members OF the Restocking pcrsua-

But this question was dropped at this
time 10 admit Secretary T.. II. Schriber,
Of The Citizens committee, and several
OF the chief actors iu that little comedy.
Mr.. Schrber came % see Col. Wright

been selected TOR secretary Mr.. Schri-
Der also said, and as Col. Wright
WAS the man most concerned,
the Citizens committee desired 10
know if lie was satisfactory. About
tins time the fun commenced. The
Republicans were jealous nl the citizens
and at once brought up thc question OF
drawing FOR place on the tlcRet. The
Republicans want COL Wright and their
ticket 10 have the first place, and they
demanded, 10 case the citizens drew the
priLc they should hand il over to them.

tested and a wOrdy Warefatc followed.
