There were not half . dozen other per-
sons present, and they were unknown to
or overlooked by the reporter. It 10 quite
likely that some of those named above
were not at all in sympathy with the
movement, but were attracted there by
curiosity.
On taking the chair DR.. Wickersham
said he was not business man, but would
be glad to sec the business men of
Lancaster take an active interest in
the political campaign. The impor-
tant questions were the tariff, the
banks, finance and business. He was
sorry to see that the great business men,
the Baumgardners, Bitners, Hendersons,
Reeds, Arnolds, Spencers and others were
not present. He did not know why they
were not here, but suggested that COM
mittee be appointed to invite them to at
tend an adjourned meeting and lend their
assistance to help along the campaign.
Ed. Zahm believed the election of Car
field was necessary to continue business
and hoped a campaign organi-
cation of business men would be effected,
first, to help along tho Republican cam
paign on Friday evening, and secondly, for
the purpose of securing the election of
Garfield.
J. B. Warfel, of the New Era, understood
that the present meeting was called for the
purpose of forming an organization for
The coming parade. He proposed the ap-
pOintment of q committee from each ward
10 drum up the business men to rsalisa-
ion of their true interests, and to make
Turther arrangements for the parade.
Harry Diller thought it would be nice
20 have the business men parade in dark
clothes and black silk hats.
DIR. Wickersham asked whether it was
proposed to have merely a temporary organ
zatiOn or to organize permanently for tho
He recommended the latter, and
hought it was a mistake to allow the
'Oung men to have control of the cam
,aign. The business men should stand
'ehind them and give them their moral
nd financial support. He thought an
djOurned meeting should be held at
Roberts hall, Tuesday evening and efforts
made to get the Baumgardners, Bitners,
heir support to the enterprise.
Mr.. Warfel did not believe it would be
ossible to get together larger meeting
han tho present.
Jacob G.. Peters wanted immediate action
aken. 1t was important to know at once
7hether the business men were going to |
larch through the streets with their heads |
angling down, or whether they should |
,arch with their heads up and band Of |
,usic in front of them.
On motion of John D. Skiles committee |
f two from each ward was appointed to |
lake necessary arrangements for the pa-
sde. The chair appointed the following ::

As before stated only a minority Of the
,ove named committee was present. Il
Sam Myers said the work proposed
'uld not be done without tho "rocks."
'e should settle the matter right here
neither we should or should not have
usic, torches, transparencies, &C., and
it is decided TO have them we must raise
9 " wherewith !" to pay for them. II
DR.. Wickersham was not satisfied with |
o present meeting. He would like to
Q regular business mems meeting on
,ednesday evening. He believed IL proper
0rts were made several hundred could ;
got together. It would be of immense
