REPUBLICANS.
Met at Berryvil1e Tuesday and
 Passed Resolutions.

Il machine republicans which was called to meet at Berryville Tues day was very lightly attended. It is claimed that the small at tendance was largely due to the fact that the meeting had not been sufficiently advertised and to further fact that a consid- erable timidity exists upon the part of many who have been in line with the old organization to step out and declare them selves publicly upon the subject, and the reform leaders think what they are losing in the dis play of banners and eloquence will be made up in a large de- gree at the polls where they feel confident the republicans of the county will emphatically express their disapproval of the machine organization in the state by rolling up a decided majority for c. D. Greaves as between the two candidates for governor.
 Among the decisive steps ta- ken by the convention was that no nominations be made for county offices in as much as the present candidates are entirely satisfactory. It is the purpose of the party to make the cam paign in the special interest of Mr. Greaves for governor.
 The convention was organized by electing c. c. O'Neal of Green Forest for chairman and J. w. Newport of Eureka Springs for secretary. After discussion of the object of the meeting and the appointment of the usual com mittees, the following resolutions were passed and adjournment was taken until Saturday, Aug, 23, when it is intended to launch a complete county organization.
 The resolutions adopted are as follows:
 "We, the republicans of Car roll county, who are opposed to the boss rule of our party orga- nization, in mass convention as- sembled, declare ourselves in full sympathy with President Roosevelt's policy of honesty in politics and place ourselves upon record as being in favor of his nomination in 1904.
 "Resolved that we condemn with our might the high handed corruption as practiced by the so-called executive committee in buying and selling federal offices.
 "Resolved that we heartily en- dorse President Roosevelt's ac- ton in removing H. L. Remmel and H. M. Cooper from their re- spective offices on account of their corrupt dealing in federal offices.
 "Resolved that we further condemn the state central com mittee for being dictated to by bosses and making endorsements for federal offices contrary to the expressed wishes of a majority of the republicans of the state, and the endless chain method en- ployed by said committee in the members selecting their own suc- cessors as committeeman. We charge that they have had no in terest in the triumphant success of the party at the polls in state elections, caring nothing further than for the organization of theil ring into committees, and so long as they succeed in controlling our party true republicanism car not be advanced.
 Resolved that we endorse the republican platform upon whicl Hon. Charles D. GreayeS has been nominated for governor ane pledge to him our hearty supper in his campaign in opposition te boss rule and boodleism.
