Show FIFTH PRECINCT MEETING The Republican organ is fearfully exercised exer-cised because the meeting at the Fifth Precinct last evening did not declare itself it-self a part and parcel of the Liberal organization The reason why it did not was an excellent one It was because it was not called as a Liberal Democratic Demo-cratic Republican or any other political po-litical body The call was made to all loyal citizens opposed to Church and State This embraces many who have no sympathy with or confidence in the methods of the Liberal party It is safe to assert that a considerable number of the signers of the call would not have i attached their names to any instrument instru-ment emanating from the Liberal organization In fact we have the personal per-sonal assurance ofa number of the gentlemen gen-tlemen to that effect Tho Republican organ says If it was not a Liberal Convention as has been assumed it is but justice that tfie voters of the Fifth precinct were i made aware of it There was never the assumption by the projectors of the meeting that it was anything any-thing else than what was published in the call The election of delegates to the Liberal Convention would have been as far out of place as the same action relative to the Democratic Convention called for the 19th instant and would have defeated the purpose for which the meeting was at least ostensibly called The Liberal County Convention can and if it acts in a spirit of harmony will endorse the nominations made by the citizens citi-zens of the Fifth Precinct opposed op-posed to Church and State It is quite probable that the gentlemen named will prove acceptable to the Democratic County Convention which is perhaps most improbable had they been nominated by any meeting meet-ing called by the authority of any other political party While THE DEMOCRAT did not approve of the meeting meet-Ing the result has been better than it anticipated an-ticipated and may tend to the consolidation consolida-tion of the entire loyal vote against the common enemy This is the great end to be accomplished and it will not be the fault of this paper if it is not effected It will not at all events attempt to create discord by criti cising the meeting for not pursuing such an unwarrantable course as would most certainly have destroyed the harmony of its proceedings and rendered futile any further attempts to combine the anti Mormon element upon a ticket acceptable accepta-ble to all |
