The fight within the Citizen Club COM
mittee was between the friends of Mr..
Harry Willink on the one hand, and those
of Mr.. A. l.. Alexander, John l. Morris
sey and Geo. w. Wylly, Jr., on the other.
Just what was the cause of 1t could not
then be ascertained, but it appears there
was an effort made to leave out Mr.. VIII
link and one or two of his friends and
they were determined that they would not
be left out 1t will be seen that their de-
termination prevailed.
The question of chairman is the next
one that Will be involved. The two COM
mittees selected represent the two fac
tons admirably. Ii is the first step in
the direction of harmony in county poll
tics and it win be interesting TO know
whether it is going to bring harmony or
discord.
The chairman may be selected from out
side the committee, or the committee may
choose one of its own number to act in
that capacity. Il has been suggested that
the proper thing to do is to secure some
outside party, who has taken no active
part in politics. and who is known to be
unprecedented and just In every way. The
difficulty of finding just such a man, OF
course, presents itself, but there are such
men in The community, and they can be
found without the use of Diogenes Ian
tern.
The tickets for the primary will be
printed to-day. The managers for the cleo
ton Will probably be chosen to-day, or at
least the majority of them viii be secured.
The one question that has been troubling
those to whom this duty has been as
signed IS the matter of remuneration for
the managers Nobody appears to know
where il is going to come from, and il is
pa difficult matter to secure managers TO
act out of pure patriotism.
The only restriction placed upon a voter
in she primary is that he must be a white
Democrat, The registration lists of 1898
viii be used, and it is possible with that
to make the vote a large one.
There viii be a meeting of the Gambler
Club at the Court House at O'Clock this
afternoon TO make the necessary ar
rangements for the primary.
The feeling among the rank and file
of the Citizens Club has been decidedly
against putting any one on the new SXeCu-
tive committee TO represent its interests
about whose absolute fidelity or strict par
tisanship under any and All circum-
stances. there might be any doubt" said a
prominent member of that faction last
night. 1--WE gave the Liberal Club credit
for having sense enough TO put only stall
wart members of its side out for the new
committee, and we felt that the least
thing that we could do was to have twelve
equally as staunch men representing us
II was no reflection on the others. per-
sonany. that objections were made to their
being selected. 1t was simply due 10 the
belief that they We're not partisan enough
to guard our interests at all times MIR
Morissey quit the Citizens Club in the last
campaign, and went over to the Liberal
club He did so openly and fairly, ana
no one questions his right to do SO. Al
the same time we did not feel that. I'M
der those circumstances, he should be
made one of the new committee to repre-,
