Discipline for 72 Republican Election Dis.
trict Associations.

The Republican County Committee held .
special meeting last night to make provision
for lOl election district associations which
were disfranchised as q result of the recent

y provision OF tho constitution of the county
organization requires that an election district
association be reorEanized when the Republican
vote in the district Is less than tho enrolment
OF the association.
The vote for Governor was the test in the last
election. and lol associations of the l,392 rem
dered themselves liable to reorganization. These
associations may be reinstated in case there is a
good explanation of the deficiency. This was
done in the case of twenty-nine of the delin-
Quent districts at the meeting last night. Sew
eniy-two of the district associations, however.
Will be renrganiZed. and will have no part in the
organization primaries to be hold on next Tues

THE PROPOsEp ELEVATOR.
General Manager Hays viii Come
Here.

He VIII Probably Communicate in Person
With Mayor Baxter and President
WinsIow of the Board of Trade,
While no reply had been received up to
yesterday from the Grand Trunk man
aaement, to the proposition made to Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson, by Portland
parties TO contribute $175, 200 OF the
amount necessary for the proposed eleva-
tor, it il supposed that the proposition
is being considered by Sir Charles, and
very likely has been submitted to the
directors in London
1t Is understood that General Manager
Hays will be here in few days. and will
personally look into the matter. He will
confer with Mayor Baxter, MI. Noyes and
President Winslowkof the Board of Trade,
and will then report to the president OF
the line. and through him to the direc-
tors. Mr.. Hays may possibly be au-
thorized to accept the proposition al
ready made, or he may come hero with
counter proposition On the part OF the
Grand Trunk management. 1t is thought
that an agreement will be reached in the
course of a few weeks. Mr.. Hays VIII
porbably be here in a few days at the
farthsst The Queens birthday took
one day from the business days at the
disposal of the Grand Trunk people after
their return to Montreal, and as has been
said, very likely Sir Charles Rivers Will
son deemed it best to submit the offer Of
the. Portland people to his directors in
London. When Mr.. Hays comes here
he will be in position to devote all nec-
sssary time to a consideration OF the
Portland proposition, and will, it is ex-
pected, practically settle the entire mat
ter.
