Move for Party Welfare
"The truth and the whole truth in
regard to the publication and its at
tendant circumstances is that it is an
eHort made in the welfare of the Re-
publican party, and in the hope that
IL may contribute to the success of the
party at the polls"
Many of the old familiar faces were
present at the Republican Club when
Chairman Glynn called the committee
70 order and Secretary Gleason began
the rollcall. Conspicuous by their alb
sence, however, were George w. Al
bridge, of Rochester; Francis Hen
Albany, and William l.. Ward, of Port
Chester. Hardly once during the last
quarter of a century has a rollcall of
the state committee been had without
at least one of the four being present.
1t was a very we'll attended meeting of
the state committee, however. there
being only eleven absentees of the
$50 members. In nearly every instance
the proxy was held by man who had
come a good distance. w. A. Orr, the
Governors secretary, held about six
proxies. but he was the only one who
had more than one.
Republican Prospects Bright
When Robert Welwood. of the 1st
district of Kings, answered the roll
call. Jacob A: Livingston asked if Mr.
Wildwood lived in the 1st district, and
received an affirmative answer.
Chairman Glynn, in referring to or
ganization conditions, said that there
were enrolled full 100000 more Re-
publican than Democratic women in
the state, and that Republican pros
poets were very bright. He followed
this with brief statement concerning
the errand made by himself and Sec
retary Gleason to Washington to con-
fer with Senators Wadsworth and
Calder.
ave found that the Senators were
apparently sincere in their desire to
have harmonious party with success
in November" said Mr.. Glynn. eve
left them with the understanding that
at the meeting of this committee to-
day we would recommend the appoint
ment of a committee of five to confer
with than and to report back to this
committee on Monday"
Greiner Presents Resolution
Mr., Greiner, of Erie, thereupon
moved the following:
James W. Wadsworth, jr., and William
NJ. Calder have issued an invitation to
Republican voters to meet in assembly
at Saratoga Springs on Thursday, July
Is. to formulate and declare the prin-
ciples and purposes of the party in the
coming campaign, therefore, be it
Resolved, That committee of five
be appointed by the chairman of the
State Committee, of which the chair
man and secretary of this committee
shall be members ex-officio, to meet
United States Senators James w.
Wadsworth, jr, and William M. Calder,
to confer with them in the interest of
the party unity and success. Such
committee to report to an adjourned
meeting of the Republican State Com
mittee to be held at the Republican
Club on Monday. July /, at 10 a. M"
This motion was promptly seconded
by Senator Theodore Douglas Robin
son, Attorney General Lewis's cam
palgn manager, who sat alongside Har-
vey D. Hinman, of Binghamton, an
anti-Whitman man.
Sage Becomes Satirical
Senator Henry M. Sage, of Albany,
of the Barnes clan, in seconding the
resolution, INDUCED in thinly veiled
satire at the expense Of the Whitman
men by saying:
II was up in the northwestern part
of the state considering the subject of
the feeble minded when l was called
back. When 1 read Thursday morn
lng's papers / came to the conclusion
that l had changed my location but
not my occupation. There seems to be
desire on all sides for party harmony.
think that this meeting is of much
value to the party, and the proposed
conference of still greater value.
think things are shaping up so that
we can meet the common enemy with
a united party"
The committee rather expected
move of some sort from Senator Rob-
lnson or former Senator Hinman. 1t was
said afterward that Mr.. Hinman had
ready a speech that would have de-
lighted all those who turn thumbs down
at any peace proposition.
Are you in favor of peace and har-
mony on the lines indicated by the
Whitman men?" Senator Robinson was
asked after the committee adjourned.
Il seconded the motion for the ap-
