LEAGUERS DISCUSS HARMONY.
Minks, Resolution Received ant
Acted Upon.


Behind closed doors and closely drawn
shades the members of the Greenville Re-
publican Club discussed the rmo res
olution which the M~inkakwa Republican
| Club sent to them yesterday. The meet
ing was indeed very tame and not nearly
SO animated as about forty members VINO
| gathered there anticipated.
After the regular routine of business
had been disposed of the harmony resolu-
ton of the "Minks" was introduced. By
whom the members refuse to say. The
resolution says that the 'sMinks'' will do
| all in their power to settle the grievances
between the two clubs. 1t further says,
THAT we hereby signify to the Greenville
Republican Gu u good will towards
them, and our purpose to enter into an
arrangement with them which shall bring
| about the complete union of both clubs in
political movements hereafter in this ward
| and so that the rights of a CLUB shall
be hereafter duly respected"
The resolution further says that If the
League, after duly considering the reso-
luton, sees fit to appoint a committee OF
| five. including the President of the club,
| the .Minks'' will also appoint a similar
| committee to meet it and settle all the
differences existing. The above resolu-
ticn was drawn up by Judge Erwin of the
ssMinks'' and introduced by Robert Carey
| of the same club.
The discussion on the resolution lasted
| for about an hour. when finally the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously adopt
ed by the club
Resolved, That the communication and
| accompanying resolution be received and
| spread in full on the minutes. That the
| resolution be laid on the table and the
Secretary be instructed to communicate
with the Minkakwa Club to the effect that
this club, upon being advised of the APP
pointment of their committee, a similar
committee to consider any question tend
ing to be of interest to this club or to the
Republican party viii be appointed"
While the club was discussing the reso-
luton Assemblyman ~Goldenhorn, who was
| re1.ominated Tuesday evening at the
| county convention in Columbia Hal, made
his appearance at the club, and sent word
in that he would like to have the pleas
ure Of addressing the members. He was
politely told that the club was in the midst
of a very important discussion and that
he would have to wait until it was over
when a committee would be sent out TO
escort him in. Mr.. Goldenhorn just waited
one hour before he was admitted. He
was enthusiastically received. he then
spoke as follows:-

nomination with reluctance l shall not be
