OF the precinct, will 1t IL feared operate
against him.
From the seventh come two cand!-

be none the less effective. There are
not 80 many candidates for the Dis
trict Chairmanship. Clarence Crabbe
has dropped out Of the committee and
this makes II impossible to secure his
services again. There will be before
the meeting a long list something like
the following: &. B. Wilson, j. w.
Jones, +. w. Macfarlane, G. b. McClel-
Ian, w. c. King. n. Il. Gedge. T.. A.
Il. Ross, +. NJ. Brooks, Sam Johnson
and II. n. Boyd. From the discussions
Of yesterday there seems to be every
reason to believe there will be n Sc
lection of the Territorial committee
men from among the same men.
The call for the meetings of the dis
trict committees provides for their or
ganization on Friday morning at II
o'clock. There is some feeling that
this will be difficult of accomplishment,
owing to the mail coming in, and 1t
was the sentiment on some sides yes

TO secure an adjournment until even

which consists of rs members, will meet
at Waverley Hall, Bethel and Hotel
streets, and the Fifth District meeting
which has only 81 men, win be held at
Republican headquarters.
