all Anti.TnmmanS Nominating Conventions
on the same Duy-rrarticRIiy Unanimous
Vote OF the tounty Committee Last Night
The Republican County Committee, at Its meet
ing in Lyric Hall last night, sounded a warning
for the benefit OF the managers of the Low boom.
Mr.. low was not mentioned in specific terms
nor was any reference made to the Citizens
Union, but that the resolution adopted by the
County Committee was intended for both there
is no doubt.
Tho meeting was called specially to receive
proposed amendments to the Constitution OF the
organization. the substance Of which was pub
lished by TIE Sun yesterday. All the proposed
amendments were Offered and will be considered
AT the regular meeting OF the in Sop
tcmher. No other business was in order under
the call. but after all the amendments were
offered Commissioner Of Public Works Colle
arose aud said:
Il know that this meeting was called for q
special purpose and that the resolution which I
would like to offer may not be considered ger
inane. II is, however, / consider, OF great i'm
portance in connection with the great issue
which this organization must confront in the
approaching campaign. We all appreciate the
efforts which the President of our County Com
mittee has made to secure united effort on the
part OF all organizations opposed TO Tammany
Hall in the support Of a single anti-Tammany
ticket 1t lie certain that those organizations
ought not to be spending the precious moments
making faces at each other and In quarrels and
pickering. 1t seems to me that the best way to
secure harmony Of action on the part of all anti.
Tammany elements would be to have all organ
~izatiOns which propose making nominations fx
on the same day for holding their conventions,
50 that conferences may be had and, II possible,
that one anti.Tammany ticket may be selected
by all. With that purpose in view, and with
the unanimous consent of the committee, i
would like to present this ~resotion:
Re soired, That the Republican County Com
mittee hereby recommends to the Republican
propose a conference with all organizations OPP
posed to the rehabilitation OF Tammany Hall,
with a view TO the selection Of the same day for
holding OF all anti-Tammany conventional, 30
that entire harmony and ready conference may
be assured In the selection Of candidates and
promulgation of principles"
President Quigg asked if unanimous consent
was given to the consideration Of the resolution.
Some one. who could not be identified, moved to
said that such a resolution would be entertained
II 1t was decided to consider the resolution.
There WAS no objection TO its consideration and
no renewal OF the motion 10 table. The motion
TO adopt was carried with o roar of ayes. Three
men voted mo" One Of these. Charles F. But
Ter, the colored delegate from the Twenty
seventh. Assembly district, explained later that
not believe in a conference, and thought that the
Republican party should go ahead and nomi-
nate regardless OF the action Of any other or
RaniZation.
