! Mr. Mcdaniel replied that there was
| most certainly division In the RepuD-
lican ranks and that the man who
| could bring the members Of THIS rae
tion back into the party would Be doing
a good thing for II. The question Is,
| said ne, do you want them back or do
you not? As for himself ne was most
anxious to sec reconciliation Effected
| and he moved that the chair appoint a
| committee of the fnembers present to
confer with a committee to be APP
| pointed by the executive committee OF
| the faction.
This motion brought on considerable
discussion. Mr.. Doubleday said thai
this matter should be referred to thu
national committee. AS for themselves
they did not feel 1t their province to go
out of their way to conciliate anybody.
The. national executive committee had
helN that this faction was not a part OF
the true party. They could not stoop
TO urge these men to come back. In
plain words should the tall wag the
dog or the dog the tail?
w. NJ, Mcdonald saw no reason why
me factlonists should not be asked to
come PACK lnc~lhe party. Let US ct
out and confer with them.
Mr. Flanagan did not view the ,not.
ter In the Same light as Mcdonald. He
knew but one Republican party In
JeNns. lie knew ana acknowledged no
FACTION. What was this proposed com
nittee TO do? Go out where and con-
sun with whom? Were they to work
~ rort worm or go out after factlora
elsewhere. Our doors are open for ali
Republicans. II any We're outside lei
them come in. a faction would even.
tuhlly ma that 1t could not endure
without the parent organization and
would come back to It. This sentiment
was loudly applauded.
Mr.. Potter said that the doors ~ tho
party were open and thnt ANYBODY
VINO wanted to could either 20 out or
come IN. We do not know nuthori-
lively that such a thing as the Lily
Whites existed.
Mr., Mcdaniel rose again and insisted
mat the wanderers from the true party
should be won back to the end That tbe
party may be strengthened If we keen
on marching in the direction we have
for the past twenty-five years. said he
we viii soon march into the deep blue
sea. They should be tolerant II thew
wanted TO see Republican principles
triumph. They should do ali I'm Their
power to win votes. as their small num-
Der could accomplish nothing otherwise.
He. however, thought he understood thf
sentiment of the meeting. He would
gay nothing further, but would with
