Two ORGANIZATIONS WIZ BE the Re

rctary's management.

The split in the ranks Of the Union Re
publican Club is growing wider every
DAY. The next thing to he expected Is a
called meeting OF the club, at which a
number of designations VIII be submitted.
There are about 200 members in tbc
organization, representing private and
official life in the city. The last public
celebration OF the club was on the ED
of last February, when there was very
large crowd present, ard there was no
Indication OF internal dissension. The
trouble among the members was, however,
in full blast al that time.
The causes leading TO a separation Of
many members OF the club from their
brethren are the charges that the club IS
run as a close corporation, aud that the
financial affairs are not conducted on
bus mess principles. 1t is objected that
the accounting desired from Secretary
| George Emery IS not satisfactory.
This, Mr.. Emery denies eInphaucaily. ard
/ on the contrary, it is stated. that at the
last and recent accounting, the records
were ~ order, ard money matters straight,
| there being difference in the books OF
/ only about 8 cents.
! However. unless the minor matters are
/ settled, there win soon be two Repu blican
! clubs instead of one. A paper was in cir
! cllation yesterday. to which several names
