PoTTsvILLE, Aug. 19.-In pursuance of a
call issued by County Chairman Payne, of
Ashland, the Republican Executive Com
mittee for this county assembled at Pottsville
this morning. The principal object of the
meeting, as stated in the call, was to name
the date and place for the meeting of the
county convention.
The committeeman arrived here on the
early trains and occupied themselves in
discussing the political situation from diff
ferent standpoints. The action of the Dem
ocrats in deferring the question of fixing the
date of their convention until after the Re
publicans act in the matter was freely dis
cussed, and had considerable bearing in
fixing the latter date.
Chairman Payne called the committee to-
gether in the parlors of the Merchants hotel.
There was a small attendance, only nine
members answering the roll call. Shenan-
doah was one of the towns not represented.
Secretaries S. Burd Edwards and John Duffy
were at their desks
After thorough discussion of the subject,
the committee finally decided upon Monday,
September 30th, as the time of meeting for the
county convention. and Pottsville as the place.
A vote of thanks was rendered chairman
Payne for the manner in which he success
fully conducted the campaign of 1894.
