HAYES AND WHEELER CLUB. The
meeting called at the Court House last
Saturday evening, to organize Hayes
and Wheeler Club, was q perfect success.
The Republicans turned out in good num-
bers, filing nearly all the space in the
Court House, and exhibiting the oldtime
ardor and interest in the cause. Hon. w.
G.. Donnan was made chairman of the
meeting, and after few preliminary re.
marks, introduced Gen. NJ. NJ. Trumbull,
of Dubuque, who proceeded i'll his usual
animated style to address the people. His
speech was candid, argumentative, and
at the same time vigorous comparison of
the parties and their principles. He
keenly onalyzed the Democratic platform,
exposing its Inconsistencies and misrepre-
sensations, and its palpable inconsistency.
He defended with generous warmth and
impulsivc eloquence the record of the
Republican party, showing that, with all
its mistakes it is the only party in this
country true to the principles of human
rights, sound IN its theory of government
and Jealous of the national honor. He
demonstrated from the record how viii.
fully false and INSCRIPTIONS is the ar
raignment of the Republican party in the
Democratic platform, and declared with
emphasis that while the Republican party
takes pride in its record and refers to i,
with congratulation, the Democratic par
ty is only concerned to hide its disloyal
and dishonest record from public view.
The speech was frequently interrupted by
hearty applause, and at its close General
Trumbull was warmly congratulated.
Steps were taken for the permanent or.
ganization of the club by the appointment
of committee to prepare constitution,
which is to report at an adjourned meet
ing tomorrow evening.
Thus the Republican campaign in this
county has good send off. 1t will be
prosecuted with vigor and determination
to win by the use of every fair and lcgit
innate means for success.
