and clash Of, arms had been averted IN the
Pine-Tree State. He WAS a man Of intellect and
power. man thnt would claim tne suAIu8es
Of the people. The speaker was In
favor Of tie nominee Of the Re-
publican party, but he was sure
that the nomination of the "Plumcd Knight"
would insure Republican victory. What the
party wanted was StalWart, and James u
Blaine filled the bill The gentleman's remarks
met with enthusiastic applause.
When 3fr. D. l.. Shorey, the Prcsident-elect or
the Club, took his seat, he was greeted WITH
cheers and calls for speech and In response said
his support was pledged to whoever was nonl~
mated. No man had yet been named by the
party who had not been IN the publ1o service
ut least twenty-five years. He believed that more
danger should be apprehended from the Northern
Democracy than from the Democrats OF the
South. More harm had been done by the sug-
gestions of Northern Democrats than the acts Of
the Southern Drigndicrs. In conclusion. he said
he wished to see StaIwart Republican put In
nomination. So
Mr.. D. 4. Tenney, the retiring Treasurer: made
O few witty and pointed remarks If Blaine
w,s nominated, he would throw up both hands
and say he was always for him. He wanted no
wcak-kneed man who had a patent-rtght policy
to try on the Rebels, but '1Sta1Wart" In every
sense Of the word.
Judge Glover said he liked Washburne. who
was n sensible man and always talked sense.
Washburne said TINT Grant should be the nomf-
nee, and that was the reason he was in favor OF
Grant However, he would be satisfied with an
Illinois man.
George Schneider, OF the National Bank Of
Illinois, and several other speakers made few
remarks, and the meeting then adjourned
