VOOLLEY NAMES HIS COMMITTEES

Flavel MCGEE sent communication to
the Republican County Committee which
was read at the meeting last night, ask
ing the committee to advise him regard
ing the charges of the late General Ram
say. These charges reflected upon sew
eral members of the committee as to the
disposition of certain funds said to have
been sent to the committee in the fall of
1888. when Governor Voorhees, ran Mr.
niece said that the books OF the County
Committee had been examined and that
the charges We're unfounded. AS the
omplainant was dead, he added it was
useless to attempt to go any further.
On motion, it was decided to let the
matter become ancient history and let
1t drop for good. The party and others
who were more or less interested in the
affair are no wiser than before.
Chairman Woolley appointed his Ex-
ecutive Committee, and Chairman Nc
Arthur of the Legislative Committee
hurled bouquets at his committee for
securing the passage of such '.laudable
and beneficial measures as the Excise
and Anti-Spring Election bills. Another
bill was that requiring personal registra-
tion in Bayonne. 1t was contended that
the large Slav population there would not
be registered if personal registration
was compulsory.
The delegation was discharged with a
vote of thanks for the services rendered
during the recent session of the Legisla-
ture.
This resolution was then read and ac-
cepted:-
December 2S, 1900, pass a resolution
directing the appointment of a legis-
lation committee and asking the Re-
publican members of Assembly, the
republican Senators and His Excel
lency the Governor of New Jersey
to recognize said committee as repres-
entative of the needs and desires of
the regular Republican organization
in this county; and,
Whereas. Said committee was duly
appointed and We're courteously and
considerably received, and their views
We're duly considered and acted upon
by the honorable gentlemen above re-
ferred to; and,
Whereas, 1t is fitting that we ex-
press our appreciation of the said
recognition afforded to this county by
the Governor and the Legislature;
therefore, be it
Resolved That we, the Hudson
County Republican Committee do ten
der our sincere thanks to His Ex-
cellency Governor VOORHEES,, and the
