GARFIELD /. BUSINESS, MEN,
They Meet Again In the Orphan;s Court
Room

They Meet Again In the Orphsu's Court
Room.
Last evening the Republican business
men held another meeting in the or.
phans' court room, which was well-filled.
The meeting was called to order by State
Superintendent Wickersham, who an
nounced that they had engaged the State
Capital band, and Henry Baumgartiner
had been chosen chief marshal of the Gar
field business men in Friday nights pa
rade. He said that neither of the meetings
held thus far were intended to be mass
meetings, but simply to make arrange
ments for the parade. Nothing like pro
scription was meant by the meeting. No
one thought of stopping his patronage
with 4 fellOw-citizen on account Of his pol
itics. He said that both the Examiner and
Nee Era employ hands in their Office who
belong to both parties, while every man
IN tie lNTELLIGENCER office, from top to
bottom. is Democrat. It seems to be the
only office which draws the party lines.
and yet that is tho paper which attacks
the persons holding this meeting. He
thought that the business men (Of tho Re-
publican party) might be justified by al
most any act Of retaliation, but he would
not ask that. He hoped that the INTEL
LIGENCER would publish the names of the
parties ut this meeting. Some one had
informed him that twO-thir(ls Of the adj
vertising in that paper was by Republi-
cans, and therefore their business could
be injured il they saw fit. He did not
want anything like this to occur, however,
as it was contrary to the policy Of the Re-
publican party. But if tho business men
were to be scOrned, two could play at that
game if they were forced. Hc repeated,
however, that he wanted nothing of the
kind to occur.
Reports from different ward committees
were received and adopted.
1t was agreed that the men were to
march without torches, but with badges.
Mr.. Wickersham thought that there
should be Il public meeting of the business
men in the court house or opera house.
MIR. Hicstand moved to refer this to the
ward committee and officers.
MIR. John Il. Warfel, of the New Era,
offered y resolution, inviting all who ia
vCred the election Of Garfield and Arthur
to join the parade. This was adopted.
1t was agreed OIL motion Of Mr.. Frank
SHREDDER to continue the present OrSaniza-
ton to the end of the campaign.
Mr.. Henry Baumgar(lner, who was
elected chief marshal arose. He said he
had been chosen to the Office contrary to his
expectations he had read an unfair ac-
count of the meeting held on Monday even-
ing, his sympathies were with this meet
ing, and upon that account he
was there. He said his friends
hal been abused by the INTELLlGENCEI,
and they should now show them selves
worthy Of the cause they had cspOused.
He accepted the honorable position Of
chief marshal and would do all IN his
power to make the parade 4 success. He
hoped the spirit manifested at the meeting
would continue and not be on the wane by
Friday evening He thought it would not
only be to the interest OF the business
men Of Lancaster county to have Arthur
and Garfield elected, but it would benefit
the whole United States.
The meeting adjourned until Friday
evening.
