The Republican county executive
ommittee finds 1t difficult to let go of
the oar and turn the boat over to the
silk stocking element and he ring that
formed the Lincoln club. and from which
emanated the So-called ''plan of cam-
paign." The executive committee,
made up of the selections from the late
city committee and the three selected
from the county committee, is willing
TO take hold of the helm as soon as the
county committee shall have settled the
precinct primary war and issued the
call for the county and legislative con-
ventions. The Lincoln club is willing
that the county committee should
hear all the cuss words and take
all the subsequent abuse that
must follow the settlement of
those questions. Then when the hulk
is turned over to the committee on
.'plan of campaign the Lincoln club
will raise their kid.gloved hands and
wave off any protesters and declare
that they have washed their hands OF
the fight between the league clubs aad
the old line Republican clubs. This
will be declared in a bland voice and if
further suggestion is made by those
who shall not be and can't be satisfied
with the dictation of the league clubs
the chief spokesman of the Lincoln club
will remove the fragrant Havana from
his tombstone teeth and with al imperl-

will be appealed to then with q look of
compassion. but he will chuckle with
his face wreathed in a 'why-do-you-
kick" smile INT say: THE laws of the
Modes and Persians are never altered"
1t will then be in order for the men
who have fought many campaigns for
the Republican party before o. B.
Lewis and many of those belonging to
the league Gibbs knew anything about
st. Paul, let alone lived here, to bottle
up their feelings until they get back to
their respective bailiwicks and tell their
friends that they will have to either
submit to the new methods OF 20 over to
the Populists.
The meeting of the county committee
yesterday afternoon was attended by
the usual crowd of office seekers, who
were, as usual, denied admittance, and
for thee hours were allowed to cool
their heels in the corridor. only to be
informed at the end of that time that
the county convention will be held at
Market hall Oct. 8 at 10 a. M, and the
legislative convention an hOur earlier
at the same hall. The primaries will
be held Oct. 2, that being Tuesday,
between the hours of 5 and Z D. m.
Further than this the committee had
not decided. and had postponed until
another meeting the arrangement of
other details.
The committee is in an endless tur-
MOL over the voting places and the list
of judges. The Eighth Ward league
still demands primaries by precincts
and ther right to name the judges on the
day of the primaries. They served
notice on the committee a week ago
that nothing less han that would satisfy
them and handed in a list of judges,
with the declaration that a refusal By
the committee and their call would be
ignored and the club would proceed

assert gives them the right to name
judges at the polls and hold
primaries in all the voting precincts.
This fight was renewed with vehemence
yesterday. but was only one of the many
troubles of the committee. The place
got too warm for some members of the
committee, and Chairman John Cope

he left. and being asked what had been

He hurried away from the building. and

hat to let the wind dry the Precipitation

declared that the committee had been
changed so much since its original ap-
pointment that chairman Leon II,
Chamberlain, who presided over the
convention of two years ago, would not
recognize it as being the same.
Sheriff Chapel was not one of the
crowd in the corridor yesterday waiting
TO see the outcome. He had given his
views before, and feeling that he is
scarcely IN the fight for a denomination
any more. he is letting things take their
course. There were, however, the
customary h~alf-doZen deputies of his
office on hand, some of VIII ON are look
ing for jobs under either Capt. Harris,
George Warren or Charles Reichow in
case either of them should be nominated
and elected. Others of them probably
have a hope that their chief may have
another chance for fat fees and to
charge the county double for their
services. as he did in the case of bills
disallowed by the county auditor. If
