DURANT, Iowa, July 9th, 1872.
A call for a meeting to organize a
Grant and Wilson club having been
signed by many Of our leading citi-
gems, meeting for that purpose was
held last evening, at the Sons Of Tenn
perance Hall.
As most persons in this vicinity are
busily engaged with harvest duties,
and as no notice Of the meeting had
been posted-it being desired simply
to effect an organization--the meeting
was not very largely attended; but
there was promise of hearty and uni
ted effort from all those present, and
permanent organization was effected
by the adoption Of a constitution,
stating the object and purposes Of the
club, and the election Of the following
named officers: President, Allen Mes
bitt, ESQ.,; Vice Presidents, Hon. H.
C. Loomis, d. l.. Wilson, L. r. Cros.
by, Thos. Raynor and c. Paden; Sec.
and Treas, Capt. I. G. Prescott; Asst,
Sec, J. G. Goodman; Executive Com
mittee, G.. Hemmenway, T. G. Pres
colt and others, and the constitution
was signed by all present. We shall
have a club Of at least one hundred
voters, and there is every indication
among our citizens of earnest interest
in the campaign.
We are fortunate in having only
one prominent Greeley man here, who
has previously been republican, tho
we presume we are not much ahead
of many other Iowa towns in this re.
spect. REPUBLICAN.
