The Greenville League Warns
Up the Row with the Min
kakWa Club.

- E.
There was another skirmish last evening
in the merry war which Greenville repdbli-
cans are waging with each other. The
League Club held a regular meeting at the
Globe Hotel, and the way they walked over
the Minkakwas just made the trolley wires
jangle outdoors.
Mr.. William G. Hutchings opened the Sc
ance. He said:-"t was always opposed to
taking action on this matter of rivalry be-
tween Republican clubs, believing that 1t
would be for the best interests of both organ-
~izations in this district to work together
tremendously. But now that the aka
was have made public their action of Mon
day evening rendering it impossible for any
republican to belong to both bodies, l believe
that the time has come when we also should
act. | have prepared a set of resolutions
which l will introduce and which l ! hope will
be adopted"
Mr.. Hutchins then read the resolutions
and was frequently interrupted by ap
plause.
MINKAKWAS TOASTED.
The resolutions, which were adopted unani-
mously, were as follows
Whereas, The Greenville Republican League Club
has ever extended the right hand of fellowship to
other Republican organizations; and,
lations with a neighboring Republican Club have
recently been met with such action by a portion of
its members as TO justify its being designated as
foolish" by republicans. therefore,
Resolved. That while we depFecate the action
fore impolitic, as evincing a rule or ruin" spirit,
and as being calculated to afford amusement and
any feeling or resentment in the matter; and
Resolved, That should any member of the Green
nection Herewith because of the action above re
ferred to. we will accept their Tesignation more IN
tlme-as come 1t will-when our aeighborfng club
shall be dominated by those Of its members en-
and who Will then see to 1t that fraternal and har-
organizations be fully established and maintained
If any of the members of the club are
worried over the fight declared against them
by the Minkakwa Club, they did not show it
at the meeting last evening. On the con-
trary, they treated the matter as though it
were a huge joke, and laughed at the idea of
the Minkakwas attempting to down them.
In point of membership the League is much
stronger than Reuben Simpsons pet organi-
Zatlon.
GROWING INFLUENCE.
Last night the League elected twenty new
members, increasing the membership to 270,
which is nearly five times larger than that
of the Minkakwa Club.
There is a general belief that the League
will be the controlling power at the next
primaries in Greenville. Its influence is
already spreading to other portions of the
district. AT last nights meeting a number
of republicans residing in the Bergen section
requested the club to organize a branch in
their midst. The club decided to lay the
matter over until the next meeting.
The Entertainment Committee reported
that it had arranged to hold a stag racket
next Wednesday evening and that Theodore
Ennis. violin; Charles Cocks, cornet, and
William Muller, piano, would be the enter
tanners. The committee which was ap-
pointed to map out the Greenyille section SO
that a captain could be appointed for each
street, reported that it had prepared a map,
which it would submit at the next meeting.
