At tho Fifth ward Garfield club ROOM
last evening Messrs. Fred. Arbenz and J
r. Cowden made short and stirring adj
dresses on the issues OF the campaign.
Last evening the Fourth ward Demo
cratic club marched around town, waking
the echoes with cheers for Hancock anc
shouts Of "Hurrah for Maine" Col. Geo
Crumbacker, the veteran Greenbacker in
timated To the party that it was the Green

A flag will be presented to the Sixth

rooms, and 1t Is requested that the Repub

THE ISLAND IEPUELIcAEs.
The Republicans Of the Seventh
Ward have been sort Of resting on
their oars, as It were, ever since
since the Poorman meeting, to all ap'
pearances visible to the public, until with
in few days. Then they seemed to wake
up, and to 90 to work in earnest. The
result ia seen In the commodious and sub
stantial wooden building erected on the
vacant square near South Huron and Vir'
vinia streets. A business meeting was
held in 1t last night, President Hildreth In
the chair. A vote OF thanks was passed To
the gentlemen who had volunteered their
labor and contributions toward the cree
ton OF the wigwam. The committee on
uniforms was empowered to order an adj
ditional fifty suits and torches. On
motion Will S. Faris, Lou Morris and
Charles Watkins were appointed a com
mittee to secure speaker OF national re-
putation, and arrange for q meeting on the
beautiful grounds OF the club that would
be an event long to be remembered In con-
neCtion with the campaign OF 80. 1t is
the understanding that Colonel robert g.
Tngersoll will be secured II there Is any
possibility OF accomplishing that end
otherwise General Gibson, Of Ohio, will be
invited. 1t is probable also, that in the
event Of Mr.. Blaine's visiting Wheeling,
Of which there is very remote possibility,
he will speak on the Island. The situa'
ton is the most desirable in the
city, and the wigwam Is to be
furnished with movable benches which
may be used at outdoor meetings. AT the
meeting last night the engagement OF a
drum corps wasreported by the committee,
and a drill meeting was announced for
Thursday night.
The Seventh Ward Junior Club Is in Q
aourishing condition. They have rented a
hall in the Fair Ground for meeting pnr.
poses, with the privilege Of drilling out Of
doors. Both the senior and junior march
ing clubs will be on hands in full force at
the demonstration Saturday night next.
