A GARFIELD CLUB.
A meeting was held at Justice Benjamin's
Office, on Saturday evening, for the organize
ton of a Garfield and Arthur club. On mo-
ton, Mr.. Il. Fl. Cove was elected chairman,
and supervisor of the census A. A. Crandell
secretary.
There were about twenty persons present. a
number of whom were called out by the chair
man and made short speeches. City Attorney
Kellogg favored an immediate organization.
Hon. j. v. Daniels favored going steadily and
quietly TO work. and thought committee
should select officers for permanent orgar-
Izatlon. If done by a committee it would be
less narrowing to n man than to be voted
down publicly. State Attorney Start didn't
suppose GARFIELD and Arthur club was neces-
sary. He had heard that Hancock club had
been formed, and perhaps it would be well
'To SEE THEM, AND GO THEM ONE BETTER"
He thought there ought to have been larger
crowd there and he did not know but it would
be best to adjourn to another night. They
either wanted to let it alone or make it a
thorough success.
Cap. Leonard wanted the club orgaui zed,
and officered and run by the young men; he
would be glad to corral lot of young men of
the city and hand the party over to them. He
believed it would be good stroke of policy.
s. W. Eaton, Esq, said he felt just as
deeply interested and as much in earnest for
the principles of the party as ever. After each
Presidential campaign he felt like stepping out,
but when the next four years rolls around
the old man was as enthusiastic as ever. He
thought the election was going to be very
close one and very decisive. If the Republi-
can party were to succeed it would be the party
of the country for years to come. A solidifed
South and sympathizing North might, how
ever, gain victory this fall:
Mr.. Kellogg thought it would be hard work
to get as many together at another meeting,
for he hsd done a good deal of drumming try
ing to get what few there were present.
o. o. Baldwin, ESQ.,, made a short, sensa-
tional speech. He was always opposed to select
ing officers by a committee. 1t would GER
tainly give him great pleasure to see the party
IN the position it was few years ago, when
the Republicans had Thousand majority in
| Olmsted county, and why it had come to occu-
Ply the position it did was thing he had never
been able to comprehend. While in other
counties Republicans had held their own in
| this county they had been cleaned out.
On motion a committee was appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws, consisting of
Messrs. Start, Daniels and Leonard, which was
read and adopted, and a committee to procure
s'gners vas appointed and the meeting ad.
journed to Monday, August 23d.
