EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.


EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
E. d. Kelly, w. S. Stone, o. w.
Huls, w. H. White, H. F. Ambrose,
j. e. Tritsch, Jr., h. b. Tucker.
Each republican convention will
have to decide contest from
Hooking.
The personal analysis of the
strength of both factions on Fri
day occurs to US about as follows,
with Sands some to the bad:
The following are the commit
teemen undisputedly for White:
L. w. Hull, Joe Walraven, o. S.
Wood, John Roby, Henry Roby,
Harry Ambrose, w. H. White,
George Tucker, VIM. Moore, E. d.
Kelley, Hi Brown and Charles
Wolfe; IL in all, out of 20.
The following are undisputedly
for Sands: o. l.. Hutchinson,
Ed Ricketts,, Sam Karr, Isaiah
Frazure, Chas. Troxell, VIM. Funk,
w. T. Evans, Ed Smith, VIM.
Souders and w. j. Ryan; 10 in all
out Of 20.
OF the disputed, the following
may be said: John F. White
claims to be the committeeman
from the Second ward Of Logan,
appointed by Secretary Ambrose
after the death of DR.. Blosser, ac-
cording to former resolution of
the Central committee. The Sands
faction, in their overflow meeting,
elected DIR. Aplin committeeman
OF Second ward of Logan. Dr..
DeWesse is claimed by both, but
he came to town and is said to have
gotten so drunk that he did not
know who he was for, and Adam
Laferty, of Athens county, under
took to act for him. Committee
man Woodland, Of Salt Creek, was
not present, and both claim him.
Jesse Devore, of Blachford, was
not present, but has telegraphed
his sanction to Whites faction.
This, the Sands crowd disputes,
and claim him as their own.
If the Sands faction should get
all of the disputed committeeman,
they would have but IA, while it
is better than guess that White
will be sanctioned as Committee
man from the Second ward, and
that Devore is with the White
faction, making their numberss14,
or majority of the committee.
conceding DeWeese and Woodland,
two disputed members, to Sands.
Under the circumstances, White
made a remarkable fight. He
started out and was playing fair
with Grosvepor, but before the
wind-up Grosvenor was his hard
est foe. Wherever federal patron
age could count for anything,
Grosvenor was there with the
goods for Sands. Postmaster Ham
ilton, an old soldier, who had
served as postmaster of Blooming
vile for 25 years, was turned out
for o. L. Hutchinson, a commit
teeman, who had to have some
thing for his vote. 1t is said that
Troxel, of Rockbridge, is promised
the post-office for the part he took.
Billy Souders is to be made stew
art OF the Athens asylum, for his
vote for Sands. Grosvenor threat
ened every otfice-holder in the
county that was committeeman
with the loss of his position, if he
did not vote with Sands.
Both the Republican papers, the
Journal-Gazette and the Murray
City News, were out strong for
Sands and against White.
With all this leverage, White
came under the wire a winner with
majority Of the Committee.
Sand has now threatened to re-
move White from the Industrial
School Trusteeship, but below will
be seen what Governor Nash thinks
about that. We also publish
Grosvenor's last letter to the Com
mitteemen.
From Democratic standpoint
the fight looks dangerous. 1t was
about all we could do to beat one
republican party this fall and now
we have two to fight.
