The Republicans Of Wheeling can now
take pride in knowing that they have q
political home in the central portion oil
the city which Is as much In keeping with
the progressive spirit OF the party to which
they belong as 1t is testimonial OF their
own individual enterprise and advance
ment. There Is NO building in the city,
probably, which is 30 we'll suited to the
purpose Of combined political and social
club as the upper stories Of the Turner
building No. 1927 Market street, and there
ia no name in all the columns Of Americas
favored sons more appropriate 10 such an
organization than that Of Lincoln.
An INTRLLIGRNCRR reporter, on yesteI'
day, paid visit TO the rooms mentioned,
under the escort Of Captain B, B. Dove
ner. The wide hall entrance from the
pavement and the ample stairway led us
10 the second floor, where paper hangers,
decorators, painters and glaciers bad been
aud, to some extent, are busy yet Inc
twin front parlors were fret inspected and
presented q coy appearance even then,
which will be greatly enhanced on tne
opening night, which Is Tomorrow even
ing. On both floors were rich but TASTE
luI Brussels carpets. Handsome Chalrs'
lounges aud tables were in abundance
The wall paper was almost ornate
enough 10 do without decoration, but
already two pictures had been received 70
Varnish them-one magnificent picture Of
Lincoln In beautiful irame-the apppTo'
pirate Gift OF Mr., John FreW-the other .
landscape engraving from Dr., Logan:
Other pictures already purchased VIII
shortly be mounted according to the good
taste OF the Committee on Rooms. In the
front parlor was standing new patent
book.rack in which rested 0 substantial
copy Of Worcester's unabridged dicton:
ary, on the back Of which was printed
in gold on black ground:
ITO THE LINCOLN CLUB
Compliments Of
STANTON / DAVENPORT"
At one side OF the front parlor 10 the Of:
flee OF the organization, completely and
very nicely fitted up Tor clerical work.
From these pleasant quarters We re-
traced our steps In the hall 10 the room
adjoining the back pSrlor, which 10 "The
Smoking Room" This apartment RhoWa
10 It's adornments and furniture the same
good judgment In all Ito appointments,
and should be q favorlte resort Of the
members. A rear door opened out 10 q
bridge, lining which were the janitor'e
room, water closets and bath room, oil
nicely iurnished for their respective pur'
poses.
The third floor, or what used to be AS
sembly Hall, has undergone thorough
renovation. The ceiling and walls have
been newly cAlsomiped and reprinted the
stage carpeted, and two committee rooms
made at the back Of the latter. II Ia In
tended to hold the general meetings oil
tile club there, and the accommodation
are ample for large sized audience. II Ia
here that the opening exercises will be
celebrated on tomorrow evening. the
programme 10 % follows;
Opening prayer by Rev. DR.. Mcclure
This gentleman, let Us remark by the
way, made the opening prayer at the
first Republican meeting ever held IN thlI
city which was In 1855 and the selection
OF his services on this occasion seem
specially suspicious.
Hymn, America, by select choir con-
ducied by Mr.. W. II. Sheib.
Address OF welcome BY Prot Dalzell.
More music from the choir, followed by
an address by Hon. W.T.. Wiley.
"Marchipg Through Georgia" will then
be sung and the audience OF ladies and
gentlemen 10 expected To heartily join In
The performances In the hall will be
short, In order to enable those present u
spend pleasant social evening In the
parlors below. Mr.. O. Y. Lucas has kind.
" furnished Q piano for the occasion and
It is possible that the music In the ball
will not be oil that will be rendered dur
Ing the evening.
Certainly a delightful time 10 antlcipa'
ted and % many Of the mothers, wives
and daughters OF Wheeling Republican
fathers, husbands, sons and lovers will be
there, the antiCipations will surely NOT
fall short OF the mark.
In this connection It 10 perhaps apropoE
to give the names Of the Committee on
Rooms who have made the pleasant
quarters described. They are Capt. B. B
Dovener, Prof. R. O. Dalsell and J. D.
Stanton. The officers Of the organization
are R. g. DaIzell, President; A. Pollack,
First Vice. Presfdent;. Ambrose List,
Second Vice President; VIM. Hastings,
Third Vice. President; Corresponding Sec
rotary, W. +. Peterson; Recording Score
tary, VIM. Richardson; Treasurer, s. p,
Hlfdreth.
With such well Differed organization
there is no room to doubt but that the
Lincoln Club Ia destined for long lie and
to do In the future unquestioned good ior
the Republican party, not only In this
city, but In the entire State.
Hurrah for the Lincoln Club!!l
