WITH MUCH RESIGNATION
The Ninth Ward Republicans Try
to Find Where rhev Arc at

The Republican league of the Ninth
ward met at 767 Jackson street last
evening, instead of at Sycamore and
Jackson, as previously announced. The
Democrats had hired the hall they were
talking about for the campaign, and
they had to make other arrangements.
There appeared to be little spark of
life in the committee appointed to
secure hall, and they reported that
they had secured the present meeting
place for the campaign. A recess was
taken to give those present au oppOr.
tunity to sign the rolls. A few responded
to the invitation, Mr.. Reardon suggest
ing that it wouldn't cost anything, as
the candidates were expected to pay
the expenses. While this was going
on Tom Howard was sowing strife in
the rear end of the hail. He was sug-
costing naughty things of Chairman
Lee and telling the members on the
quiet that they never could do anything
with such chairman. These Whisper
ings coming to the ears of the chair
man, when the meeting was called to
order he raised the question whether
they wanted him for chairman, and as
srred them if they did not all they had
to do was to say so, as there was more
fun staying home playing cinch anyway.
Sam Badger called upon those who had
any objection to the chairman to make
it manifest now or forever hold their
peace, but everybody was silent and the
meeting as cool as eggs packed in ice
water. Mr.. Reardon said the
chairman was the only one whom
he heard say anything about the
dissatisfaction. and called upon
all of the officers to resign as the best
way to test the matter. He rendered
his resignation as vice president. The
club refused TO accept it. The secretary
rendered his with the same result Lee
still held the fort. piling up additional
chunks of ice. Reardon said he was
disguised with him, and if he woutln'f.
resign he would leave the club. He
started for the door. Lee resigned.
Reardon ventured motion that the
| club do not accept the resignation. It,
did not receive any votes i'm the mega
| tive or in the affirmative. The secre-
| tary was in despair. The half-deposed

resignation. The second vice presi.

| received one vote. There were none
in the negative. The secretary declared
the motion carried, and the officers still
held the fort. There was little warmth
and sense in the southwest quarter of
the hall, as Jadam Bede would say, and
from that quarter it was suggested that
the matter of reorganization and all
questions pertaining to il be put off for
one week, and that the officers could
resign in writing in the meantime if
they wanted to do SO. Tom Howard
remained quiet. He wasn't saying any
thing, but thinking that he was ill.,
dorsed by the uncalied-for action of the
chairman. Lee thought so himself, and
began to say so, when the secretary
called him TO order. The chairman said
the point was we'll taken. The secre-
tary made a good speech. They ad-
j0urned for a week. Nothing was ac-
complshed except to add to the existing
GOODNESS.
