s,bl,can Committee Meeting,

,dopted the following resolu-
]. :
rurREAs, The Republicans of
Ter county, at Primary Elec-
held on the third instant, were
,o a fair opportunity to express
preference for Chairman of
STATE Central Committee, the re-
bcinr 20 to / in favor of Hon.
8 QUAY as against B. F. Gilke-
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That our delegate TO
S,otc Convention A. W. Potter,
IN whom we have the utmost
ISdcncc, he specially requested
,,.e his best cndeavors to secure
election of Hon. Nj. 5. Quay,
Countv's choice for the position,
,cnizing in Senator Quay the
l,cbless and fearless leader of the
riv. whose services to his Coun-
IN time of war, as well as in the
|na of politics, haveendearcd him
the members of the Republican
nv throughout the length and
,adth of our great Country.
RESOLVED, That this Committee
Lsicns Mr.. B. +. Gilkeson for
liking public the official cores
Iudence of County Chairman Ar
east, and we regret that the
hartman Of ourState Central Com
ittee should so Hagrantly, wilful-
and maliciously ialsify the true
Isition and intent of the Snyder
bunty Republicans in the present
Ictional contest, and his conduct in
sclosing an official letter written
| him in sense of the utmost sim
|rity and confidence, by one of his
bounty Chairmen, is highly repre-
tnsible, ungentlemanly and lack
BE- in the ordinary relations of re-
beet and privacy existing between
ben, in the transaction of affairs,
Ind il is the sense of this Committee
bat such a man is unworthy the
|unfdcnce of the party at large, and
icing charged with having expend-
u slOO,OOO.OO without accounting
herefor, in tho last campaign, we
|elieve that the lack of sagacity,
he marked impertinacity and the
,Hicial penuriousness of the State
chairman, as exhibited in hisrecent
,pnduct, render him unfit longer to
ontinue at the head of the Repub-
lean Party in Pennsylvania espec-
" when leader of so high capaci-
y and approved merits as Senator
quay aspires to the position.
The County Chairman, Mr.. Ar
,Ogast did not ask Mr.. Gilkeson for
ny State Funds to help pay for
olding a Primary Election, but
nder the rules of the Party in
'nyder County, Il candidate seeking
he votes of the Republicans is ex-
ected to pay an assessment. If
lr. Gilkeson had stopped (?) to re-
ly to Mr.. Arbogast's letter stating
hat he did not care to submit his
anne to the voters of the County,
0 one would have any reason to
ensure him. But under the cir
he not only made public
livate correspondence, but grossly
nd basely misreprsented it.
RESOLVED, That we as Republi-
ans, who love party above cliques
0 most heartily deplore the present
warfare waged upon
enator Quay, and ask the leaders
t the Party to harmonize the diff
cultes by the division of honors.
he Republicans of Snyder County
elieve that the proper manner to
ring about harmony in the State,
to call Governor Hastings to pre-
de over the deliberations OF the
ming State Convention, and to Sc
'ct Hon. Nj. S. Quay for the re-
'onsible position Of State Chairman,
nd
RESOLVED, That we view with
'e gravest apprehension the refusal
Senator Quay's opponents to al
w the people in the several coun-
es of the commonwealth to decide
le question of State Chairman by
leir votes. We regard it as Il
lngerous experiment for the Par
: Leaders to refuse the Republi-
ms Of the State an opportunity To
