Monmouth, Feb. 5th "v" 6 o I . b "jv ' NdT SEPARATE AND DISTINCT the work of the clubs consisted in la boring for the party success along such lines and under such standard bearers as were given us by the parry conven tions ' Now, Mr. Gatch wants' the clubs : to dictate the party policies and incidentally the candidates, thus doing away with the necessity for primaries and conventions. ! In support of his theory and h? hopes, Mr. Gatch pretends to think "that a league meeting, being exempt from the schemes of individuals, larger in representation, and more directly i'rom the people is better able to an nounce the policy of our party than a nominating convention." . ; Mr. Gatch must have enjoyed hjs and his audience must have al;:o' chuckled with satisfaction. Clubs hi ing "exenipt from the schemes of ihj dividuals, is good; their being "direcjtr, ly from the people" is another excel lent bon mot. . The fact of the matter is that tlie manner of forming political clubs makes them entirely unrepresentative and places them absolutely in the hands of a few men who have political jr commercial axes to grind of sufficient importance to warrant the expenditure of time and money.
