NO HEART IN 7HEN.
Greenville Republicans All at
Sea-charges Against
the MiDks.

The Republicans in the Seventh ward.
the Greenville section of the city, have
decided to give up the idea of nominating
two more Justices of the Peace to fill the
vacancies left by the Ward Convention
a week ago. They have realized that no
one wants the positions, although many
nave been asked to accept. Those APP
preached were not very DESTROYS of being
put up as sacrifices, and declined to run
on the G. Q. p. ticket. The heart has
evidently been taken out of the party in
that section.
One of the many reasons why apathy
reigns in the ranks Of the Republican
party is told as follows:-Shcrtly after the
Ward ConyentionSw held, a week ago,
the Ward Association met in the Min
kakwa clubhouse. One of the members,
not a Mink, however, made a suggestion
about holding a ratification meeting in
Greenyille next week, as he thought it
would greatly benefit the party. A Mink,
or. in fact, all of the members belonging
to the Minkakwa Club. frowned upon the
suggestion. One finally said that he did
rot think it would be a good idea to hold
a meeting.
1.-THE County Committee has been con-
suited upon this subject" he said, "and
they could not see their way clear to pay
ing the expenses Of a ratification meet
ing
Besides, the County Committee had just
built a new clubhouse, and felt that the
money for campaign purposes in the Sew
enth ward could not be spared. A Lacquer
suggested paying for the meeting out of
their own pockets. This idea was imme-
diately jumped upon in the same manner,
the Minks saying that it would not look

to the wishes of the County Committee.
mo meeting will be held, that's sure
said a prominent Republican last evening.
There is no harmony in this ward for
the Minks are doing about everything in
their power to prevent the ticket being
elected. The harmony agreement calls
for both clubs to work for the candidates
nominated, but the Minks are silent. The
way in which cold water was thrown upon
the ratification suggestion demonstrates
the position of the Minks, and | feel sure
that there never will be any be-
tween the two clubs.
s.If the Minks fail to work for the party
this spring then you may rely upon some.
thing interesting happening before ong.
Another Republican, when expressing
his opinion, said that the Minks are sore
that their man was not nominated for
constable. Samuel Williams was the cam
didate for the position, but was beaten by
John Sotheren of the League Club.
