tion to elect Chapman and Urell. The meeting
was called to order BY the PRESIDENT Col
Timothy Lubey, and L. MeKennA acted as

Before the business Of tho club was entered
into, Col. Lubey, the president Of the club, made
the following remarks
My FellOw.CitiIens: / desire to say a few
briei words, not on any political Issue, but d.;
rectly In reference TO our candidate. General
Chapman, our candidate Tor Congress, IL q man
whose entire sympathies are with and Of tho
people, whose career has always been marked
with a strong sense Of right and justice to all
men, and who since his election to Congress as
the Delegate from the District has been one Of
usefulness and honesty to It's people and its
material interests. His Te-electlOn Ia now not
only demanded In justice TO him, but TO the clti.
Gems Of the District, whose faithful agent he
has been, but far more so on the ground that
neither OF the opposing candidates, from natural
and other causes, eau serve Us 80 we'll.
In our candidate for the House Of Delegates
We possess man whose character and life are
such that even bis political enemies md no
fault, and one who, II elected, will serve his con.
sttuency with the same iAlthfulness and honor
that always marks his character. Many OF you,
my friends, know 81 him In private, and he has
often been honOred by your confidence 10 places
OF honor and trust His election at this time,
| as your immediate representative, will not only
be a credit, but will place our district In that
position whore the wants Of It's people may be
| carried imam intelligent manner to the proper
authorities. This, regret TO say, has not here
toiore been the case. Whose fault It IL am not
prepared TO say, but the fact exists that the In
terests Of the district have been neglected from
not being brought to the attention Of the Dis
| trlct government.
1 therefore say to all, let us not commit such a
mistake as has heretofore been committed.
That Is, II We desire TO soc the same Justice dOno
| wealth demand. Our wants ln tho line Of i'm
| prOyemenis are many. Ask yourself, ask your
neighbOr the question, which Of the candidates
that present themselves for your suffrage are
| most likely to make these proper demands and
push them TO n suoce ssful Issue. II you will do
this and act on cow lotion, have no fear Of the
result OF the election Of Chapman and UTell.
DR.. Thomas was introduced, and said he was
present 10 cheer tho workers In the good cause,
| to push forward more deteTmlnedly towards VIC
| tory. lilo referred to the remarks OF Colonel
Lubey, and agreed with tho sentiments eX.
pressed by tho Colonel, that principles are
wanted and not men, In his career as a pOlltl.
clan he has always ignored personalities, and
has always felt that the party to which he
he was willing TO let 1t fall. There arc 10 this
| country to-day two partles-ono the Republican
and the other the Democratic party, and to-day
this latter party arc claiming TO be Republl-
| cans, aud he felt GLAD that there was such .
change, and that they had seen tho error Of
their ways and were coming into the fold, He, as
clliEen Ofthe District Of Columbia, was opposed
TO Horace Greeley's election, as he IL not the
friend Of this District He closed by urging his
hearers TO vote for Chapman and Urell.
After cheers for Chapman and Urell the meet
Ing adjourned.
