A Meeting Of the Garfield Boomerang.
An adjourned meeting for the purpose o.
organizing Garfield and Arthur club was
held at the old court house last evening.
The hour fixed for the gathering was 8
o'clock, but it was nearly9 o'clock before a
sufficient number to make show put in an
an appearance.
The first business attended to was the re-
port of the canvsssers appointed to secure
the names of men,befs. From the First
ward, 1872; Third 9rd, 80, and Fourth
ward, 147, were reported in addition to the
previous humble !, making 831 names secured
in all ->

Sc g Fifth Ward-H. Stockenstrom.
" I" Sixth Ward-Dr. Geo. Watson. :

Col j. H. Davidson thought it would be
better to postpone the election until there
was a little more interest manifested. There
were 831 names on the lists and there was
only corporal's guard present. There
should be more interest taken.
The Colonefs remarks were not acted
upon and motion was made to adopt the
report.
~. ,ka,,, tod 10,
nor Davis would accept the position of
president of the club, and if 80, whether he
would take hold and work.
DR.. James Davenport youched for both.
He said the Governor had given him the
solemn assurance that if elected he would
take off his coat and go into the cause with
bare hands and play the very devil with the
Democracy of the city.
This settled it, and the report was adopted
unanimously.
A. V. Teeple, DR.. Davenport and II. w.
Foote were appointed committee to wait
upon Gov. Davis, inform him of his election,
and request his attendance upon the meeting,
and recess was taken for that purpose.
The committee returned after brief alb
senoe and reported that they were unable to
find him.
thanked the young men for their activity in
working up the club and the courtesy shown
him while presiding. He would like to see
the work go on.
Governor Marshall called out. He was
.gratifed at the result of the efforts made to
organize. Glad to see the young men take
part in politics. He had been Republican
all his life and expected to die in the harness.
Col J. II. Davidson was also very glad.
He wanted the Republican party to have
more to say in this city and county. With
proper effort the city can be carried by the
Republicans for Garfield and Arthur. The
speaker paid q glowing eulogy upon Gen.
Garfield but passed over Arthur very lightly.
Gen. McLaren was also very glad. He
was not very enthusiastic, however, about
carrying the city of st. Paul or Ramsey
county. The spirit of prophecy fell upon
him, and he predicted the triumphant cleo
ton of Garfield and Arthur.
Alderman c. N. Bell saw better prospect
ahead of the Republican party in the city of
St. Paul. Glad to see the young men take
hold of politics and lift it out of the slums
of the city. Mr.. Bell spoke at some
length during which he alluded to the
State railroad debt as question to be settled,
and this question must be settled by the
young men, and wipe out the stain of repu
diation now resting upon our fair and pros
porous State.
Mr.. Bell concluded by moving the ap-
pointment of committee of three to wait
upon Gov. Davis within day or two and in
form him of his election. Messrs. Bell,
Faddis and Horton were appointed as such
committee.
On motion of Mr.. Bell committee of
three was appointed to wait upon Hon. o..
Conger and invite him to deliver an address
before leaving the State. Messrs. Marshall,
Davidson and Teeple we're appointed.
The meeting then adjourned.
