The Republicans Of Westminster have had
several meetings recently to secure harmony
A number Of Republicans had decided that
George Z. Sharrer should get out Of the chair
manship Of the Central Committee, and the
only harmony that would suit them was for
Sharrer to 90. II is said a sort of agreement
has been patched up, to the effect that Sharrer
is TO have three members of the committee
from Westminster district and the anti-Sharrer
faction three, with the Craftsmanship left to
the other districts for decision. This means
that Mr. Sharrer will remain chairman if he
chooses 10 bold the position, for those oppos-
ing him in Westminster don't count for much
outside of town. 1t is likely, too, that Mr..
Sharrer could easily down the opposition here
should he desire to do so.
