TenIlOl-Otler Bits OF RClltlcS.
Last nights session of the ReDub-
Iican city committee demonstrated that
if the citizens party faction, element
or whatever it may be designated,
places a ticket in the field it may cause
a three cornered fight, for the COM
mittee resolved to call a convention
for the purpose OF nominating a ticket.
Whether the convention viii do that
or unite with the bipartisan mu-
nicipal leaguers. etc, remains to be
seen.
The date of the meeting is Oct. s,
the time and place to be selected later
on. Incidentally the apportionment
viii be made later on also at a meet
ing which viii be held Two weeks
from this evening at the same place.
GLANFIBLD RESIGNS.
All the members of the committee
showed up at the meeting, at various
times, with the exception of J. G. G.
Glanheld, q, member from the Second
precinct, who sent in his resignation,
which was accepted. When the chair
man called the assemblage to order
James Anderson, a. L. Eimondi, Joe
Cottle, Dennis Eichnor, r. 5. Camp
bell, Frank himball. T. L. Timer and
Arthur Parsons were present, but Joe
Lippman and j. J. Thomas came i'll
later on, making a full committee, as
concerns numbers. Jake Greenewald
was present to offer sage counsel and
advice with the members, but they di-
Verted his talk from politics TO garbage
and he retired in disgust.
Glanfield's resignation came in right
away after the meeting was called 10
order and was accepted without any
discussion. Then Timer read proxy
from Thomas, authorizing him to act
until the board of education adjourned
and business was begun by Eichnor
Offering q resolution declaring that it
was the sense of the committee that
the city convention be held on the 9Th
of October
Cottle suggested that was the date
of the conference of the church and
Dennis changed the date. As mat
Ter of fact Eichnor changed the date
more than once before he got it so it
suited every one. Had dates been
shirts Eichnor would have exhausted
the wardrobe of the Prince of Wales
during the course of the evening in
fixing the time for the convention.
The motion did not seem TO suit
Campbell who demonstrated to the eff
feet that he did not want TO be hasty
in the matter He suggested as there
were some members absent that 1t
would be a good thing to wait and not
take action at the present time; wait
until there was a full committee and
then do the work carefully, deliberate
". prayerfully and considerably.
Frank kimball had a sort OF hadn /
We better see what the citizens
movement-folks-th ink-about-it intona-
ton in his voice as he endorsed Mr.
CampbeIs proposition. stating that
he too did not think It vas wise 10 so
ahead and rush matters.
In response TO q few inquiries con-
corning the stand he had taken, Mr.
Campbell said that he would like to be
certain on a few points before he
Went ahead with the matter of calling
a convention. There was Mr.. Lippman,
absent. He represented an element
commonly known as the Bryan Repub
licans. which had been a factor in the
last campaign. Campbell said this
sadly and with the air of man who
had collided with something he wishes
to avoid in the future. While 1t was
not 10 be presumed that the same
causes which divided the Republicans
a year ago, would show themselves
fais time. still it was a good thing to
go slow and consult all the elements
ere taking any decisive steps and as
there was ample time for action ne saw
no reason for hurrying
CAMPBELL FOR UNITY.
4 want unity this time" said Camp
bell. There is no use for part of the
Republican party TO attempt to win a
victory. But if we can all be united
believe that success is ours. However,
I have heard il said that if the Re-
pubiicans nominate a ticket and there
are any Mckinley Republicans on ii,
the Bryan Republicans will scratch
them
Mr.. Cottle volunteered the informa-
ton that he had talked With the voters
and there did not see rlto be any such
feeling prevalent. The committee took
Cottle at his word, without Etonping 10
consider the number Of voters fere are
10 talk to and how long il would take
TO see them all and by its silence agreed
that primarily the voters were all
right.
SEVERAL KICKS.
Then the committee engaged in a
mild roar. The first was at the voters
Of the Fifth precinct. which was led by
Campbell. he did not like the manner
in which the election of a Democratic
president of the city council had been
brought about and had cherished an
idea of making a protest ever since the
event took place. II the Fifth precinct,
which had always been considered as
q safe Republican precinct, was going
TO act that way in the future, he saw
no reason why the party should not
combine its strength on some other
precinct where there was good chance
Of winning and leaving the Fifth TO
take care Of itself
Cottle was inclined to think it was all
G'Meara and was expressing himself
quite vigorously, when Campbell said
no. 1t was the fault of the voters that
Mulvey was elected.
Simondi didn't see that the voters
were much more TO blame than the
mayor, who had continued Democrats
IN Office. He wanted nothing but Re-
Dublieans on guard and Glendinnfng
had kept Democrats in Office. This
didn't please Campbelrs ideas either.
He declared the action of the mayor
