The Association to Take Part in the Demon
stratiOn Tonight.


The executive committee of the Irish -Ameri-
can Republican club of the District of Colum.
ba held u meeting last night at Cosmopolitan
hall, with Colonel T.. p. Rankin in the chair,
and Judge Z. +. O'ConnOr secretary. The
chair stated that the object Of the meeting
was to decide whether tho association should
turn out in tho Garfield and Arthur process
sion as an organization, or the members parade
in tho different state organizations to which
they belong. Major Dillon, in few remarks,
said that tho vast majority of the association
were members of state associations, and a
good many of the Irish. American organiza-
tions were officers of those different assoca.
tions, and consequently could not well leave
those clubs TO participate in the parade rs dis
tinctvely of the Irish American association.
He therefore, offered u resolution that tho
association deem it inexpedient under the cir
cumstances to turn out in the procession as u
body.
Colonel Plunkott Judge O'Connor and Cap.
tain Neil supported the resolution for the
same reasons advanced by its proposer. Mr..
Wallace favored the paradiug of the associa-
tion as body, as he thought large number
would be ready to parade with the association.
lie therefore moved that the resolution bo
tabled until later hour in the evening. A
recess was then taken for haitian hour. Upon
tho reasscmbling Of tho association Alr. Mac
WhOrtor made motion TO take Major bilious
resolution from the table, which was adopted.
Ho then further moved a postponement
OF the resolution until O o'clock to-
night. Colonel Rankin then left the
chair and delivered au earnest address
on the subject. He was in favor of the asso-
ciation paradiug as such, provided sufficient
number of men could be got together
to make respectable turnout. The
Irish-American Republican association Of the
District was member Of powerful organiza
ton which was numerous in Indiana, Iowa
Nebraska and other western states, and wa!
strong in the south. Its action here woult
undoubtedly have much effect upon the statu.
of the association. Major Dillon, Captain
O'Niell, Mr.. MacWhorter Judge OConnor ant
others supported the motion, which wa!
adopted.
On motion of Mr.. MacWhorter $3.50 wer
subscribed by the association to purchase ap
propriate badges for the members on the occa
sion of the procession. The meeting then ad
, journed until tonight at o'clock at the sam
place.
