Of McReynolds holding office. He de- feRded McReynolds and said that If the man had really seen the light and decided to come from outer darkness into the harmonious party of Republi. carism ne had right to hold any of. flee Crowley then stated some com plaint against the last campaign man. agement, and said that he had re- qUested the committee to remove his name from the county ticket, but that his request was ignored. Cassidy re- piled that the circumstance of not re- moving Crowley's name was an un- ayoidable accident. and in deference to the wishes of Crowley withdrew the resolution on the unit rule
 Shilliam then made motion that w. P. McNair be asked to address the meeting and the motion was carried unanimously. McNair referred to the talk around tine county about gum-shoe politics, and recalcirrants, and said that he did not care to he either, but if he were forced to make a choice, would be recalcitrant. He went on to- say that the members of the com mittee from the outside precincts had just as much right to be present at meeting of the committee, and then scored the manner of holding the | last one. He then referred to the | last city campaign, saving that some new blood had been infused into poli- tics here. and that the Republicans | had been successful 70 the fullest eX- | tent of their expectations. McNair then went onto say that it was com mon talk over the county that Gas sidy and McReynolds had not support ed the Republican ticket in the last city campaign. Cassidy jumped to his feet and said that any man wno made that assertion was - tliar. He said that he had not only supported the ticket. but had con- tributed money to the campaign fund. McNair then stated that it was com mon talk, and went on to say that he had been offered proxies to the last meeting, but would not accept. He attacked the manner of holding the meeting, and especially the ad- mittance Of Biddy Doyle. when mem bers of the committee were not in formed of the place. He designated lBlair, McReynolds, Rinehart and Doyle as us four. and no more; they were the only ones present at the meeting.
 McReynolds took the floor euu said: Any one who says that I have not voted the Republican ticket for the last two campaigns is an unquali- fled liar. Any one who says that did not support the Republican ticket in the last city campaign. is also an unqualified liar"
 Ex-Mayor Overlook. of Douglas, was asked to speak. and made a short speech advocating peace, and saying that he did not see any cause for such a rumpus.
 Crowley then took the floor and re- gretIed the incident of the lie being lpassed in a Republican meeting, and said that unless the two factions come together the candidates on the Republican ticket this fall had better stay at home and save their money.
 Attorney Ross attacked Mickey holds, saying that he did not carry any weight, and that there were a number of men who could hold down the position in a much more grace ful way, and with far greater right. He named several who he would sug- gest as good timber from which to se- lect a chairman. among Them Over lCck, Cayen. Mahoney and McNair. He said that McReynolds would make a good secretary as he was very well qualified along the lines of that posi- tion. MT. Ross wound up by spread ing the Ameriacn Eagle all over the room, and lamented the fact that McReynolds was not as big a man as George Washington. MT. Ross seem. ed to be very strong in the conviction that Washington was a Republican.
 The meeting adjourned as it con vened with two factions of the ReDub- lican party farther apart than ever. Every attempt at conciliation failed completely. Cassidy and Mickey holds who felt that they had been unjustly criticised by their colleagues were in no mood for conciliation and the insurgents who came to the meet ing from far and near. were loud in their denunciation of the proceedings lot July 3, at which meeting Mickey lnGlds was elected the chairman The Cassidy faction claimed that meeting was regular, and if there was any dls- satisfaction in the g. O. p. of COchise county t had been brought about by the insurgents and not the regulars. !.
