A DUNN PUT OUT.
Latest Stage of she Minkakwa and
Leaoue Row.

The feud between Captain Charles
Rose, President of the Greenville League
Republican Club, and Winfield c. Dunn,
the Minkakwa enrolling clerk at the en-
rollment of the Seventh ward last We'd
nesday, has already assumed an aspect
which may involve the future OF polltlcs
in Greenyille. The residents of that sec
tion have hardly yet recovered from the
disgust occasioned by the continual
wranglfng of the clubs since the spring
election quarrel. The new trouble be-
tween the captain and ana lMr. Dunn piu
fair ito prove interesting.
A meeting of the League was. called
Saturday for tlf purpose of ~denouncing
the wrong done President Rose and Cap
tain Denton.
In explaining his side President Rose
said: Captain Denton and myself pre-
scented the names of nine voters to be
placed on the Republican enrolment in
conformity with the rules of the Republic
can party, and all nine We're accepted and
placed IN the list by the Board then in
session. No fraud was attempted or re-
ferred to. as was stated in The Jersey
City News of September II, and re-
ported to have been stated by Winfield c.
Dunn, Clerk CT the Election Board and
a member Of the Minkakwa Club.
"A clerical error was made by giving
an address at No. 18 Danforth avenue in
stead of No. IS Danturth avenue. also
632 Ocean avenue instead of 652 Ocean ave
nue., which mistakes were corrected and
accepted by the Board.
at is to be regretter that the Republic
cans of this part of the ward are to be
Inundated by such conduct on the part
of an ~ofnceholder, vested with power and
authority. He should be disciplined"
Secretary of the club, Mr.. William Lutz,
said that the 632 instead of 652 was q mis-
take of his. In transferring the list of
names he mistook the number five for a
three. He could not explain the other
error.
The club then proceeded TO take action
and Messrs. Benjamin Franklin, H. c.
Petty and Joseph schlund were appointed
a committee to draw up a set of Tesolu-
tons. Their report as adopted consisted
of a complete review of the treatment
they had received from the M~inkakwa
past year had been subject to slurs, in
situations. disappointments. insults, etc.
They charged that despite the value of
the club as a factor in the politics Of
political management of that section.
They had no representation in the pri-
mary nor ON the enrolment board.
We therefore demand. the report con-
be deposed as Clerk of the Election
Board. That the Seventh Ward Repubal.
can Association create a law prohibiting
any officeholder, either county, State or
National, from holding any office what
ever in enrGllments or primary"
Mr.. Dunn appears to have been a dis
turbing element in the League Club since
its organization. It was he who charged
- f'ANt- ~ ~ Liz 3lC-
publican party at the spring elections.
And it was he who intimates that fraud
was attempted by several League men at
the enrolment last Wednesday evening.
In relation to the matter last night he
said he was bound to adopt the course
that he did at the enrolment. He might,
he said. have accepted with a Repub-
lican spirit the list of names handed
in by Captain Rose but that he saw sew
eral of the names to have wrong adj
dresses and he was bound to have them
righted before he could receive them.
regards making Mr.. Rose swear
that he voted the Republican ticket he
continued, "at the last election, | did
nothing but comply with the rules gov
erning the enrolment They state that
any person whose Republicanism is not
considered prina facie must swear that
he has voted The Republican ticket at
the two previous elections. This L did
in conformity with my belief. I shall
~substantiate my doubts when the matter
is brought before the Ward Board"
Harmony between the Greenville League
Republican Club and the Minkakwa Re-
publican Club is a question of the past.
