WOULDN'T INDoRsE DORIAN.
Third Ward Republicans Are us
Thoroughly Divided as Possible.

The Republican precinct committeeman Of
the Third ward refused at meeting last
night. to indorse the administration which
has controlled the city for the past two
years, but they did offer to "shed every drop
Of blood in their bodies in the defense of
the flag In case of a war with Spain.''
resolution drawn by c. B. Davidson
which was introduced as soon as the roll
had been called and it was found there was
quorum present, read follows:
Resolved, by the Third ward precinct COM
mitteemen, That loyal Republicans We
regard with pride and satisfaction the i'm
provements that have been made and the
good government which has prevailed in our
city during the last two years under Repub-
lican rule, and while we have not as yet
reached an agreement as to choice of can
didates for the Offices of mayor, comptroller,
assemblymen and municipal judges we here
by express our appreciation of the wise eff
ficient and economical manner In which the
present incumbents have performed their Of
fetal duties.
Col. Sam Lowenstein objected to the pas
sage OF the resolution. 1t was nonsense. he
said, to have a handful of people from the
Third ward indorse and seek to convey the
impression that the Third ward favored any
particular candidate for mayor or other Of
fees. This could be attended to at the pri-
maries, and the resolution would be proper
when the grand old party assembled In con-
vention.
ton. He said ANY mayor who would ap-
point a school board Of Republicans, who
would vote to retain two Democratic officials
in their positions, need expect no indorse-
ment."
Col. Lowenstein's motion to lay the reso-
luton on the table was adopted without
voice being raised to the contrary.
After delegating Chairman Brandhorst to
hand in list of names for judges of cleo
ton to the Republican city committee and
adopting the resolution that all the men,
bers of the committee would rally to the
support of the flag in case of a war with
Spain, the meeting adjourned.
J. c. Reichardt, who is a radical Kiefer
striker, dared any man in the Third ward
be directing his remarks to Register of Deeds
Krahmer that gentleman announced that he
did not intend to oppose Kiefer or any of the
other candidates, but to remain neutral.
The committee then adjourned to the old
Salvation Army barracks, where a meeting
to organize Third Ward Republican club
was being held. When the hall was reached
there was another row.
John Harris, on being informed that an
Kelly as president, Harry Simmons as vice
president, and ]. NJ. Cooley as secretary, de-
nounced the club, and claimed that it was in
the interests of Edward Feldhauser for mayor.
Col. Lowenstein said the thing was a snap
game. No notice had been given of the
intention to form a club, and he, for one,
would not stand it.
J. c. Rechart followed in the same strain.
The names Of the ffty-six present were

President, w. H. Kelly; secretary, c. B.
Dawson; treasurer, A. G. Tong; sergeant-at
arms, Horace Brown.
