formal gathering two weeks ago, when a
small circle Of prominent Republican
workers issued call secretly to likely
members in the city. The situation was
then discussed at length and preliminary
sugges tions for permanent organization
were offered. Sam Brown. the Fire Com
missioner, was credited with being the
prime mover. Certainly he gained recog-
milton as leader, aud last night was elected
chairman.

sented by Julius Kahn:
WHEREAS. The Republican party In the city
Of EranPiePO ha hpan nd
divided into numerous factions; anu whereas,
every faction IN its struggle for Supr emacy has
n times past been ready TO sacrifice patriotism
aud party 10 crafty personal ambitions aud the
settlement of personal animos ties; and
whereas. we believe the PRONUNCIATION and pro-
motion of Republican principles TO be of para
mount Importance rather than the aggrandlZe-
N ent OF individual members of The party; and
whereas. we believe the interests of our State
and city demand the return to power OF the
Republican party; and whereas, we believe it
10 be for the best interests of that party that
the various factions should become recouciled;
that Old wounds should be healed and That
past differences should be buried IN oblivion, so
that In he coming campaign all Republicans,
regardless OF past Affiliations. may be found
marching side by side under the glorious ban
ner OF Republicanism; therefore be it
ResOkUed, That we pledge ourselves, sever
ally and collectively, to do everything that lies
IN our power 10 create. foster and promote har-
mony in the ranks of the Republican party.
ResOt0ed. That we Will do all in our power to
advocate. maintain and proclaim the uudyng
principles of that party. as enuncated from
time To time by Its recognized conventions.
Resolved, That we Will put forth our best
efforts TO secure the nomination and election of
such hOnest capable and loyal Republicans as
Will give our city and State an administration
OF which we may all feel proud, and, finally,
be
Resolved. That we will aid and assist the
State central and Republican County commit
ices in every manner possible TO the end that
Republican principles may be maintained, and
the success Of the Republican party assured.
A constitution and bylaws were adopt
ed in consOnaDee with these resolutions
the objects being to create and promote
harmony in the party. to perfect an or
GaniZaUion in this city, to main tain and
promulgate Republican principles as
enunciated by recognized conventions; to
secure, nominate and elect the ri ght kind
of men, to protect Republican Interests at
all times, and to support the State Central
and County committees in all Republican
work.
The general committee Is to consist of
275 members, each district having as many
members as voting precincts.
The executive committee will consist of
eighteen memDers-0ne from each Assem-
bly, diStrict-whO shall decide all matters
affecting organization. It's members will
be chosen from the general committee.
There shall also be an advisory commit
tee of eighteen mem bers-oDe from each
shall be their duty to settle all disputes
arising in districts.
The finance committee is to consist of
eighteen members from the districts, whose
duty 1t will be to look after ways and
means to carry on the newly organized
BODY.
I'm short" explained a mem Der, 'tbe OBJ
lect IS TO harmOnZe the party and bring
the factions together, but not in the inter-
est OF any boss whatever. In the districts
clubs will be formed, ana each precinct
will be represented by member elected
by Republican voters Of the respective
precincts. In one month we expect the
districts will be thoroughly organized and
then the united Republicans of San Fran
cisco will hold mass-meeting."
