MEWANITES HOT
They Denounce Schultz
For His Arrangement
Of Woolley.
WILL NOT AID DEMOCRATS
Chairman Christie Says It
Is Reputation or
Paresis.

Most of last nights meeting of the
Central Organization of the Thomas NC
EVAN Association was devoted to a dis
| cussion of the newspaper reports OF the
| organization of an Eighth Ward Branch,
| at the home of Mr.. Edward SCHULZ, the
latter's attack upon Edward WooHey and
| Mr.. Woolley's reply. 1t was claimed by
| several members who were present at the
| organization of the Eighth Ward Branch
| that Schult did not make the statements
attributed to him, at least in open meet
ing. TIL members strongly object to be-
ing put in the attitude of helpers of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Schult, who was
absent from the meeting, was taken Sc
verely to task by Chairman Christie. He
was quoted by the Evening Journal as
saying
IF we turn the Eighth Ward into the
Democratic column at the next election
the bosses will have something to think
about in preparation for the Presidential
election in 1900. We propose to show the
bosses what we can do
THE News inferred, from remarks let
drop at the organization of the Eighth
Ward Branch, that some of the McEwan-
ties would vote the Democratic ticket If
necessary to down the Republican bosses.
Secretary Sofield said it was necessary
to refute such statements as rejecting the
attitude of the McEwanites. The Nc
Ewanites, he said, were Republicans at all
times, and they considered 1t
their duty to support whatever
candidate the party put up They
had confidence, he said. in the
Republican party Of Hudson county, and
they were stalwart, honest, open Repub-
licans.
Chairman Christie said he could not
understand why Mr.. Schult should make
any such assertion. He was astonished
at Mr.. Schult. Mr.. Schult. he said, was
sadly mistaken in him, the Chairman. If
he looked upon him as anything but a
stalwart Republican. For thirty-eight
years he had been imbued with Republic
can principles, and he did not intend, at
this late day, to become a Democrat. He
was sorry TO think that Mr.. Schult SO
far forgot himself referring to Schults
charge of Woolley's attempt to bride him,
published in yesterdays "News") as TO
accuse a man of Mr.. Woolley's standing
Of such an offense. He could not UNDER
stand it unless Schult was seeking cheap
notoriety.
He might nave known Mr.. Woolley
would come back at him." the Chairman
continued. 1T puts MIR. Schult IN d bad
light. I'm true blue. If l was entrusted
With a document | wouldn't open II TO see
what was in it. Mr.. Woolley, according
to the report, told him not 70 hurry PACK
and gave him 81 with which to go to
a theatre. He was ungrateful II he held
the out to prove years after
ward that Woolley tried to bride him
Ia-fx -vr&1 h n oprphTina g. RI think I'd
stop to associate with a man or that
character. l shall consider he was struck
with paresis unless he repudiates the
statements attributed to him.. Ii he had
any idea of forming a McEwan branch
association in his ward to help out Demo-
Gratis, he'd better get out Of the McEwaI
Association. / can't believe that the re-
was one thai formed part Of the
proceedings of the branch organization
meeting
Mr.. Coghill said he attended the branch
organization meeting and did not hear Mr..
Schultz make such a statement in open
meeting. No such assertions We're made.
If Mr.. Schult said such things outside the
organization should not be held response
BILE fer them.
". o. camp said the McEwanites were
looking for harmony in the Republican
ranks. He said the only way to secure
1t is to nominate Mr.. Christie for Sheriff.
If not, he said, he was afraid some Re
publicans would stay at home on election
day.
