President ouigg of the Republican County
Committee has outlined a plan TO the opposition
Republicans which, IL accepted. will result in q
united and harmonious party.
Under tho constitution of the Republican
County Committee the primaries must be held
on Doc. IL. Tho samo constitution provides
that the Assembly district conventions must
also be held in the latter part Of December, and
that the Republican County must
have its annual meeting in January. There is
no escape, It 10 declared, from the provisions of
this constitution. To abandon these prima-
ries and conventions would be to leave the Re-
publicans Of New York county without an or
ganization, and with no sta nding before the
next Republican State Convention.
The regularity of the Republican party organ
iEation must DO maintained according to the
constitution of tho County Committee. But the
plan for harmony provides that the Republican
County Committee at lite meeting In January
bhal appoint q to confer with the
Brookfield.Swayno organization and with other
opposition Republicans in the interest of q
harmonious party. Tho Brookheld-S wayne or
Ranization and other opposition Republicans
are to DO requested to appoint q committee to

tho Republican county organization, and these
two committees. It 10 hoped, will get together
and appoint two committees to be mado up
either of themselves or outsiders, one Of those
committees to revise the constitution OF the
County Committee and the othcr to conduct q
now enrolment.
President ouigg said that It made not the
slightest difference to him or to tho Republican
district leaders who made up tho membership
Of these two committees. All that he desired,
and all that the Republican district leaders de.
sired, ho added, was that a committee from
tho opposition Republicans should con-
fer with q committee Of the Ropubli-
can county organization. looking to tho
appointment of tho two committees which
would revise tho constitution OF the County
Committee and conduct q new enrolment.
President ouigg is in daily communication with
the representatives Of the Brookdeld-Swayne
ers Of opposition Republicans. 'Ae 'AN
