Not d dissenting voice was heard
from those who had gathered. Indeed
it looked as thought the old fires OF
Republicanism had died out.
When finally about thirty men and
women had gathered Attorney Charles
w. Boyd called the meeting to order
and went through the order of bust
| ness until he came to new business .
when he announced that nominations
would be made for delegates to the
city convention to be voted for at the
primaries on Monday. He then sur
rendered his place at the head TO
Lieutenant Hoffman. vt was announc-
ed that the purpose of the meeting
was to put forth a good ticket of del

order.

J "I am as good a Republican as any
! one here said the judge, "and in the
interest of the Republican party L beg
you not to make a slate here in this
club Judge CoIborn was in thor
ough earnest. He plead with the Re-
publicans present not to split the party.
He said that if a slate were put up it
would merely result in making a fac
ton that would harm the party. He
said that in old Liberal days the
Fourth precinct was able to get what
it wanted by sticking together 1t

If there is no dissension. He was in
earnest in his speech. but received no
encouragement from those present.
Coiborn Walked Out
Then Attorney Boyd wanted to make
a speech, but he was shut off per-
emptorily by Lieutenant Hoffman.
Judge COlborn took his hat and arose
to go and four others followed suit.
One of them, however, wanted to ask
few questions and be proceeded to
fire them at the chair in spite of the
fact that Attorney Boyd was constant
ly moving to proceed to nomina tons.
He asked about the slate part of the
call, pointing to the fact that it was
rather queer for club which was
putting down slate makers to be put
ting up a slate. Under this crossfire
Lieutenant Hoffman grew rather an
cry, and at last the questioner was
compelled to retire, going with Judge
Colborn and the three others.
e. NJ. Miller arose and said he was
sorry Judge Colborn had gone out. but
that the club could get along anyhow.
Then a number of names were put
before the club and a recess was taken
TO prepare ballots. While this was be-
ing done Lieutenant Hoffman exploded.
He jumped around the table and ex-
claimed vehemently:
"CoIborn wanted something here to-
night, but he didn't have courage
enough to ask for it. That's why he
went out
Joe Lippman had been nominated for
delegate and everybody laughed heart
lily. Somebody called out:
Has Ofenbach been nominated? If
he has were done for"
When the balloting was over the fol-
lowing were declared to be the slate:

After the slate was completed Lieu
tenant Hoffman made a stirring adj
dress to the assembled soldiers who
are to march in the battle for political
purity under the slate. He said that
if the club was not careful the Horne
Hobbs sticker gang" would steal the
delegates. The club wants one, square,
honest man as a judge of election at
the primaries to prevent this.
He believed the sticker gang would
hesitate at nothing. They were con-
jurers like Eliason. They will take an
empty box and the first thing you
know it is full Of ballots. The lieu
tenant said he was reliably informed
that the gang stole the delegation to
the state convention and intended to
steal it again. He said a committee
should be appointed rs see that no
man votes twice, and that there are no
more ballots in the box than there
should be. He said the club should
watch the gang. 1t will work all day
Sunday and Monday and so should the
club. He claimed to have the slate
Of the other side.
The meeting broke up and the up
holders of political purity went home
