Republican County Commit
tee Meets and Resolves
a Great Deal.
AGAINST CENTRAL CLUB
If Resolutions Can Garry the
County Tt Will Be
Done.

The Republican County Committee held
its first meeting of the fall last night
at Lincoln Hall, the Republican Head
quarters. Subsequently the Executive
Committee met and set date for the
enrolment besides ordering new enroll
ments in certain precincts throughout the
county.
The session of the, County Committee
was of an hours duration, but 1t was
more than usually tame. The kickers
were present but these had no cause to
interpose objections and the session will
go down on record as being unique in that
respect The attendance was large.
Chairman Woolley presided. Routine
business was disposed of in this manner
A communication from Kearney asking
for change in the place of holding the
primary, was referred to the Executive
Committee. Mr.. Woolley reported on the
success of the convention of the League
of Clubs held Thursday in Greenville.
motion was adopted authorizing the
Executive Committee to name the dates
of the primaries and the County conven-
ton. at which Freeholder and Congress
ional nominations will be made.
Chairman Edward Fry of the Executive
Committee then made report in which
he said that by resolution of the
Executive Ccmraittee the secretary of the
Executive Committee was authorized to
communicate with the chairman of each
ward town and township committee, re-
questing him to all meeting of their
committees, as per resolution to consider
the organization of Central Republican
Club. The secretary did SO, replies re-
ceived from the various ward, town and
township committees, express a positive
objection to the formation of a central
club.
For several months of each year the
headquarters are in the charge of the
Executive and Campaign Committees,
Republicans of the county are welcome
and invited to visit headquarters, fre-
quent meetings and consultations between
those sponsible for the con6uct OF each
campaign, and those interested in The
welfare Of the party are earnestly solicit
ed united action being the main otsiect in
view
The County Committee is composed of
representa- tiyes from all sections of the
county, many cf whom must travel long
distance TO reach the headquarters of the
Courty Committee.
While the Executive Gorrrittee afo
well pleased with the attendance of the
members at each neet:rg and the support
and encouragement given them and the
officers OF the County Committee at all
times, when work and business are to be
transacted, they sincerely believe it would
be a difficult task to interest a sufficient
number in central cluo, to warrant the
charges that would be found necessary
for the comfort of the members of such
an organization in this building.
Your committee would therefore report
that they believe it would be inadvis-
able to provide for an associate mem
bership of the County Committee under
tn circumstances, fully believing that
for all practicable purposes, provision
for any social events can be arranged for
by committee appointed or elected for
that purpose.
Your committee would further report
that at the meeting held August 80, 1900,
the time and places for holding primaries
for the election of delegates to the State
convention was agreed upon as follows:-
Date for primary Tuesday, September 4,
from to A. M. and places selected for
holding primaries as advertised by the
secretary of the committee.
A resolution was also adopted heartily
endorsing the ticket and platform of the
recent Philadelphia convention and
p1edging the candidates the individual
support of the members of the committee
with the assurance that every effort will
be made to aid materially and unmis-
takaby'' in defeating its opponents.
The resolutions also set forth that eve
denounce the efforts of the Democratic
party to taint the legitimate fruits of war
by advocating the surrender of the Phil
ippine Islands to motley population, in
competent without the aid of an American
form of government and without Ameri-
can guidance and protection to establish
a stable government of sufficient diplo-
matte and martial strength to thwart in
tervention by foreign powers Further
more, we denounce as uDAmerican the
effort to surrender these islands to the
foes of our country. believing at all
times that the American flag once fired
upon must be avenged by the ultimate de-
feat and humiliation of those who OPP
pose the introduction of principles of
American liberty. We denounce as un-
patriotic the effort to call back the
troops and surrender to the enemy terri
tory won and acquired legitimately-ter-
ritory dyed with the blood of American
valor, and in which the supremacy of the
American flag must be acknowledged be-
fore plans for its future government can
be Formulated
The convention was successful one,
there being present representatives from
all sections of the State. Officers for the
ensuing year were elected and other inn
portant business was transacted concern
ing the present campaign.
This resolution by Mr. Frank Higgins
was adopted

gressional District did at the last Repub-
lican State convention, offer to that body
