The rival Republican marching clubs
are at war and prominent local gov
eminent official who has been babbling
too much in politics is being sharply
censured by one faction for having
used language at a recent meeting
which he should not have used. 1t
seems that the NJ. A. Hanna club is
I Jealous of the j. j. Gill club because
the latter has grown so rapidly, and at
"a meeting Monday night OF the Hanna
,club the said official made some very
uncomplimentary remarks anent the
Gill club and its management. The
tale was carried 10 the gill people and
they are after the gentleman and de-
clare their intention to get even. No
explanation viii pacify the Gill club I'M
til they have had a chance to get even
with the man who has maligned them
publicly.
The list OF vice presidents announced
for the Weems Republican meeting
would almost make the angels weep.
There are names of men there who
have not voted the Republican ticket
for many years, and they never will so
long as the party is controlled by It's
present principles. Several OF those
mentioned as vice presidents were ter
ribly surprised when they saw their
names in the list. But it was not so
much the names published as the ones
omitted. Men who have been promi-
nent in local Republican circles for
many years are not among the vice
presidents, and they are very sore. One
prominent Republican discussing this
phase of the question yesterday said
he would like to know who had the
authority to pick the vice presidents.
They made a bid for every element Of
the party, but for all that the appoint
ments were far from judicious and will
cause discord in the rank and file. I'm
less the Republicans respond to the
appeal of the M. A. Hanna club and
attend the Prosperity supper the last
two nights of the week the marching
clubs will be minus uniforms. But few
of the members have worked any in
the last three or four months and the
business men who have usually con-
tributed to help the club are not re-
spending at all. The ticket hawkers
for the supper have been trying hard to
induce Democrats to help them out and
some have even resorted to threats.
