REPUBLICANS STILL AT SEA.
SECOND CONFERENCE RESULTED
LIKE THE FIRST.

M agreement Reached, But Another
Meeting VIII BE Held Tomorrow
,fternoon-Both Sides Want Har-.
mony, But Have Diverse Views as
an How 1T should He Obtained.
p,v. f. *. Love Offers Two PROPOSE
lions. Neither Of Which Proved
acceptable to the Other Side.
-r,e Republican politicians held another
,,rr.rence yesterday in the interests of
harmony but like the previous conference
1, WAS without result. Another is to be
4sJ tomorrow afternoon. There is evil
aont,v disposition on the part of the Re
,,rH.eln leaders of the district, to get to-
,ereer. and il is not unlikely that the OBJ
isat VIII be attained.
Tine chief reason for the inability to
rsac. any conclusion yesterday was said
"a ba the absence of j. r. Delegall, one of
,ba claimants to the district craftsmanship.
DsteeaU who is an employe of the Post
office IS at his home in Liberty county on
soz leave. His opponents say, however,
shat he is busy fixing up his political
fences in order to get ready for the district
convention.
The subject under discussion was the
c,n for the district convention, and the
question of the temporary chairmanship,
V1Iea both sides regard as of great i'm
nortarce At the previous meeting, Rev.
r X Love. representing the Doyle fac
ton offered resolution to the effect that
IN tba interests of harmony the two claim
ans TO the craftsmanship, Peasants and
Dsloaal. should unite in call for a con-
veption and that both should jointly pre-
s,de until permanent organization should
ne effected, the resolution providing chat
each side should be fairly treated on the
floor Of the convention and given fair rep
resentallou on the committees on creden-
tiais and organizations.
This was not satisfactory to the Pleas
ants-Deveaux side of the house, and L..
N Peasants proposed instead that while
b1ih chairmen should unite in the call for
the convention that he should preside as
temporary chairman, to which, of course,
the Doyle people would not agree.
Ar Inc meeting yesterday Rev. Love Of
fered another resolution TO The effect that
tbe TWO claimants to the craftsmanship and
the TWO secretaries of the rival commit
tees should be authorized to elect fifth
man. and that these five should make up
the roll of delegates to compose the con-
vention and also recommend chairman
80 preside over the meeting until the tenn
porary organization could be effected. This
was also unsatisfactory to the Peasants
side of the house, and their former prop
osition for joint call with Peasants as
temporary chairman was urged To this
the Doyle representatives. declined to
agree giving as one of their reasons that
IN the absence of Delegall they had no au-
thority to waive his rights as chairman.
Al the meeting to be held tomorrow aft
ernoon # IS expected to have Delegall pres
ent, and some agreement may be reachd.
Both sides express desire for harmony.
Among those present at the conference
yesterday afternoon were Col j. II. De
veaux Hon. ]. f. Doyle, w. R. Leaken,
Esq Capt. Henry Blum, Jr., Rev f. K.
Love L. NJ. Peasants, J. c. Simmons, J e.
