REORGANIZATION.
The Republican Committee
Meets Tonight to Study
Opinions.

What will probably be the last meeting
of the Organization Committee of the
Republican County Committee to consider
the present plans of that committee for
the solidifying of the G. O. p. in this
county will he held in Lincoln Hall, on
Pavonia avenue this evening. This meet
ing, which will as usual be star chamber
session, was arranged at the meeting held
a week ago. Chairman Aaron S. Baldwin
and Chairman Edward Fry, of the Execu-
tive Committee, have received large
number of Opinions, since the meeting
last Saturday night Something like one
hundred and fifty choice epistles filled
with burning suggestions, recommended
tions and vigorous kicks, have been care
fully perused by these gentlemen, who
were delegated to that task at the begin
ming of the secret conferences. The sub
stance of these letters is generally known,
but the exact contents is known only to
the members of the committee.
The mistake made by the members of
the County Committee at the start when
only the dissatisfied Republicans were
asked to send opinions as to the manner
in which the party could be harmonized
successfully, greatly retarded the con-
summation of the plans mapped out by
the Organization Committee. The result
of this huge blunder was about ninety
letters containing little kicks registered
by those who had been disappointed in
not connecting on jobs. The work of
tabulating these communications has been
completed and the concensus of opinion
will be made known to the committee this
evening and perhaps to the public.
f.f mil
touching on plans for the reorganization
of the Republican party has been up 70
the anticipations of the members, still
there is much disappointment owing 10
the fact that those who were expected TO
give Opinions failed to gratify the
wishes of the members.
1t has been said that the committee has
made no progress toward reorganizlng
the disrupted forces of the party, and that
the Opinions received and those OF
people who are always kicking for the
purpose of seeking personal gain, and not
for the general Welfare of the party 1t
is possible that a tabulated report viii
be given out at the conclusion of this
evenings extraordinary session.
This was the intention of the COMMITTEES
about two weeks ago.
The anti-ring people appear to be very
jubilant over what they term the inability
of the Organization Committee to sue
cessfully harmonic the forces.
Chairman Baldwin. in an alleged in
terview published in the Tribune" this
morning, is made to say:-"The commit
tee can be depended upon to perform its
work honestly and fearlessly I have no
doubt that the committee will formulate
a plan for reorganization which will be
acceptable to majority of the Republic
cans in Hudson County. 1t cannot be
expected that everybody will be satisfied
with the committees report, but If We
submit a report which will be accepta-
BILE to a majority of the Republicans, I
will feel that we have performed our
duty. If the county organization feels
disposed to reject our report. it has that
privilege, but it must bear the burden of
responsibility
"The members of the Organization
Committee are thoroughly conversant
with the condition of affairs and will
spare no means or labor to bring about
a complete reorganization of the party
and to strengthen it, SO that success can
be hoped for in future"
