THE CLUB NOT TO BLAME
Resolutions Adopted Stating
That the Governors Portrait
Was Removed sby Some
Member Upon His Own Re-
sponsibility Picture on the
Wall Again.

The Young Mems Republican Asso-
citation held a special meeting last
night to repudiate the action Of those
individuals who on Thursday night
gave vent to their feelings by tearing
the picture of Gov. VOORHEES, from the
south wall in the club room on Greg
ory street, and holding a war dance on
top of it.
The meeting last night was presided
over by President John Brennan, who as
stated In last nights "Evening Journal" Z"
was not present when the outrage was
perpetrated, and with Mr.. John ]. Erwin
was one of the first to express his disap-
proval when he heard the reports con-
corning the proceedings of the few ire
sponsible persons in the clubhouse.
This morning the vacant place on the
south wall was again filled by picture
of Governor Voorhees,. Some say the pic
ture on the wall is the same one that was
torn down Thursday night. and that only
the frame suffered in the outbreak Thurs
day night. Others say that the original
picture was torn to pieces. and that the
portrait which now hangs on the wall is
a new one.
The association seems to be unani-
nous in It's declaration that the picture
of Governor Voorhees, which now adorns
the wall shall remain there, and that the
credit upon this hourishing Republican
club will be summarlly expelled.
During the meeting resolutions were
adopted expressing. loyalty to Governor
Voorhees,. repudiating the actions Of those

ha- been holding an examination for
teachers at Lunenburg Courthouse this
week. Mr. Hardy reports that only thir-
teen white teachers applied to be exam
ined.
Politics In Lunenburg county are at
fever-heat. The people are fully aroused
in regard 10 the senatorial contest. The
friends of Colonel Ellis. who is a oandi-
date for the State Senate. Will insist upon
his nomination, claiming that he has
sixteen delegates not contested while his
opponent, Mr.. w, c. Winn, has only
eight.
1t is understood that the friends of
Colonel Ellis propose to fight Winn's
nomination TO the bitter end. and several
hundred citizens propose to attend the
convention to be held at Blackstone Au-
gust Sth. Most Of these men are quiet
and conservative farmers-men who have
heretofore taken no active part in poll
tics. They say they wish 20 see Colonel
Ellis fairly treated and will make their
grievances known TO the Blackstone con-
yention.
Mr. David r. Love is the most promi
nent candidate mentioned for the House

nation is a foregone conclusion.
The fight between Governor Tyler and
Senator Martin has not yet assumed any

THE papers have been lately stating
that l would soon take the stump in be-

ferentially, to advocate the election VI
senators by the direct vote of the people.
Il have proclaimed my devotion 20 this
principle SO often, so recently, and so
publicly, that IL is unnecessary for me to
reafiirm my convictions respecting IL; and
L refer TO IL here simply TO say that my
views have undergone no change
But, however earnestly L favor THIS
principle, do not think il proper for an
ofiicer OF the State, elected by the voters
OF the entire party, to go upon the hust-
ings in behalf of any candidate for a
party nomination, unless, indeed, such
officer Is himself candidate. l am there
lore constrained by sense Of official pro-
