IS REAWAKENED BY REPUBLICANS McKinley League of Omaha Makes a Plea for Renewed Partisan- ship Among Rank and File. WANT PARTY RESPONSIBILITY Jefferis Declares that This Senti- ment Has Given the World the Best in All Ages. TO NAME CENTRAL COMMITTEE The spirit of republicanism was re- awakened at Washington hall Satur- day evening, by a well-attended gath- ering of republicans from every precinct of the city, under the aus-| pices of the McKinley league The keynote of the resolutions and | the addresses was a plea for renewed partisanship among the rank and file of republicans, that affairs of the city, state and nation may be administered by the party which the speakers de- clared has successfully piloted the ship of state through many storms and whose supremacy was over- thrown by ‘‘bolters, weather-cocks and nondescripts,” as expressed by George D. Meiklejohn. The last sentence: of ndopted reads. that the republicuns of Omaha support for the offices of city commissioners, May 4, 1615, men who are members of our party and who have a party responsibility.” Adopt Rewolntions. Following the adoption of the general resolutions, offered by Frank A. Shotwell d including the excerpt mentioned, W. Shriver moved that the meeting in- orse by name J. B, Hummel, Edward Simon, A. C.

Elgutter objected to the Shotwell | resolutions, his point being that he was against drawing a strict party line in purely local affairs. He id he stood for republicanism in national and state affairs, but would not commit himself to a policy of indorsing men for local of- fices because they wore a certain party label. He wanted the resolutions re- ferred to a committee before the meeting took action, but received no support or second. The meeting lasted about an hour a: the business was transacted eludltluu?
