A sad lot of Hannacrats it was that
came away from the meeting OF the Ger
man-American Reform Union early this
morning Their effort to secure the in
dorsement Of the organization for Repub-
lican candidates and the gold standard
had not only failed but they had not
even dared TO bring up the subject Tor
action. 50 certain was 1t Of defeat.
The 692 delegates comprising the Gene
raj Committee met in the Grand Central
Palace. at Forty-third street and LeXing-
ton avenue 10 reorganiZe and elect ofii-
GERS for lSes-G. For some time the Han
nacrats and Republicans in the organiZa-
ton have been banking upon the oft
given statements that "the Germans are
all for a gold standard and the senti-
ment was quietly tested to see II official
Endorsement could not be given.
To their intense disgust, so many adhe-
rents OF the Chicago platform were found
that the attempt was finally decided TO be
unwise.
However. the organization decided 10 go
into municipal politics as warmly as ever
and resolutions were adopted, in which
the following clauses appear:
Resolved. That We are determined TO
maintain the character OF the German
American Reform Union as municipal
organization. and to conscientously OBJ
serve the restrictions prescribed In its
constitution; that we shall, therefore. as
the German-American Reform Union, abb
stain from taking action in reference TO
the impending national issues, and shall
not indorse any of the presidential nomi-
nations.
These resolutions We're passed unanl-
mously.
