If the Fifth District comes into the
joint convention of the committees
united upon two candidates for the
Senate they will be placed upon the Re-
publican ticket. This was decided up
on last evening by the members of the
Fourth District Republican committee
in executive session.
The meeting of the committee was
withal a harmonious one and there was
a deal of talk although little was done.
The meeting opened with a full attend
ance, but there was little business done
in open session. After routine trans
actions the chairman laid before the
house the communication of the Fifth
District committee, setting forth that
the arrangements for the joint conven-
ton should be made by q committee
of the two bodies, and naming those
who will represent the Fifth. The COM
munication was received and upon mo-
tion of James Mott Chairman Cooke
was authorized to name a committee
of three for the purpose Of comforting
with the committee of the Fifth Dis
trict to arrange for the convention.
James Mott, G. B. Mcclellan and Will
liam Aylett were named for the pur-
pose.

Lucas saying that he could see no rea-
son for closing the doors. He said the
people had chosen the members OF the
committee and it was about time that
the public knew just what the Portu-
guese were trying to do with the Re-
publicans Aylett said that he thought
such things should be considered in
private and SO he supported the mo-
ton of Gilman that the doors be closed,
and the resolution passed.
The letter of the Portuguese political
club was read after the persons other
than the committeeman had left the
room. 1t set forth the action of the
club after receiving the letter of the
Republican committee, giving the reso-
luton passed in which Camara was set
out as the choice of the club for the
nomination for representative.
Immediately there was a. discussion
entered upon which was long and heat
ed. The members were unanimous that
there must be compliance with the first
resolution which made it necessary
that the Portuguese club should send
in a list of names from which the can
didate which it is expected will be
given to the Portuguese is to be chosen.
There were many personalities in
dulged and after the ground had been
threshed out motion prevailed that the
Portuguese club should be notified that
the communication had been received
and that the committee would await
list of candidates from which one is
to be selected, as was contemplated in
the original letter.
With this out of the way there was
at once some discussion as to the
course in regard TO the senatorial can
didates. The opinion of the majority
was finally crystallized into motion,
that in the event of the Fifth District
committee coming into the joint con-
vention with two candidates, upon
which the members were united there
should be no contest and the men
should be named.
While this was going on in the Castle
and Cooke hall several members of the
Fifth District committee were in ses-
sion in Republican headquarters, to
see if there could be settlement of
the senatorial question. Ehe session
was long and the discussion at times
heated. The meeting was without re-
suit as it was decided that the caucus
of the members of the committee on
Friday evening should settle the course
of the committeeman.
