BURYING THE HA7CHET
Harmony At Last Between Rival
Greenville Republican
Clubs.

The final round in the prolonged fight
between the Minkakwa Club and the
l. LGreenyille Republican League was fought
| last night at the rooms of the latter or
| eanizafion in the Globe Hotel. The fight
| has been declared draw, and a sem
blance of harmony has been given to
Greenville Republicanism for the time
being. When the League Club opened
its meeting there was no indication that
harmonious relations with the enemy
would be established; in fact, everything
nointed to a continuance of the war. The
| first business transacted was the passing
of the following resolutions
"Resolved. That the action of the First
Assembly District Republican Committee
in appointing four members of the MIN
kakwa Club on the Enrolling Board and
ignoring the membership of the Green
Vile Republican League, was not only
palpabIy unfair, but also very poor poll
tics; and
Resolved, That in placing upon the en-
rollment list for primary purposes the
name of a member of the MlnkakWa
Club who is a resident of Bayonne eIheo-
dore SMITH, and whose claim OF Green
vile residenceship was based upon an ac-
commodatfon room-rent receipt, pair OF
pants and paper collar, the Enrollng
Board were guilty of gross direlection OF
duty and evinced absolute unfitness for
the position.
Resolved, That by his indignant de-
nunciation of the said action of the En-
rolling Board of the mean tricks OF the
person referred to, and of those VINO
countenance them, MIR. Reuben Simp-
son. President of the MinkakWa Club,
has greatly enhanced his already widely
known reputation for square and honor
able dealing"
TO PATCH UP THE TROUBLES.
After the adoption of the above reso-
lutions, the regular business was re-
surned. Twenty new members were elect
ed. making the total membership 4S3.
The stories that Louis Hennemeier and
Henry Petty are causing dissens1ons In
the club were knocked out by a unan1-
mons vote of the club expressing full
confidence in both Hennemeier and Petty.
While this matter was being disposed OF
the Sergeant-at-Arms announced that
committee from the Minkakwa Club was
waiting outside, and the club decided to
admit the committee. When the door
was thrown open, Mr.. Reuben simpson,
ax-Assemblyman James S. Erwin and eX-
Coroner Burns walked in. Mr.. Simpson,
az soon as the privilege of the floor had
been granted to the committee, explained
that thev were appointed by the cam
naign Committee of their club to en-
deavor to restore harmonious relations
between the two organizations. Mr
simnson said that, in order to accom-
plish the result, the Minkakwas were
willing to share everything with the
League Club.
eve will give you equal representation
with the Minkakwas on all primary and
election boards" said Mr.. Simpson, land
we will share everything with you, pro-
viding you accept our terms. We must
have harmony in this district. We con-
not ieopardize the ticket, and we cannot
win unless we have harmony. Let us, as
Republicans, unite for battle, and let no
dissensions come in our midst"
Ex-Assembly James Erwin then
said:-"This trouble between the two or
oanizations is only childs' play. We
sav frankly that we mean business, and
all we ask of you is to meet us half way.
Grant us as much as we offer you. If
there are any personal differences that
stand in the way of accomplishing what
wa seek. let us eradicate them, root and
branch | don't believe in allowing any
ono or two men to run any club. We, as
a committee. hope and trust that, for
the sake of the district and the party, the
two climbs will Join hands and work to-
gether. as all Republican organizations
should"
ACCEPTED THE TERMS.
In replying to these addresses for the
I,eaeue Club. Mr. w. K. Hutchings
said:-.1t,s the unexpected that always
happens. 1 wonder that the Minkakwa
Club has got so far as this. The sky
was black with the smoke of war, but
there has been change can assure
the committee from the other club that
this club. which has never asked for
ANYTHING but fair treatment, will con-
slider the matter fairly
The committee was then requested to
retire to an ante-room while the matter
was being considered by the club. In
ten minutes the committee was again
called in, and President Rose said that
the Minkakwa's terms had been accept
ed, and that the Campaign Committee
had been instructed to arrange with the
Minkakwa Campaign Committee for
re-appointment of members of the Prim-
airy and Election Boards.
President Rose said that it was under
stood that the League Club would re-
ceive equal representation with the Min
kakwa Club in all district matters.
The Minkakwa Committee then has
tened to it's club rooms, where the Cam
paign Committee was awaiting results.
The news was received with much joy,
and on next Monday evening the club
will take action on the matter. OF
course, the committees report and terms
will be accepted.
