for Europe on June II, to be absent probably six
mouths, Father Tarro, late of st. Augustines,
In the meanwhile assisting at st. Peters, where

money necessary for the purpose.

HARD TO REPAY.
The Debt the Republican Party Owes &,
the ToMpath Club.

The Debt the Republican Party Owes TO
the TOWpath Club.
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
In response to your call upon me for
an incident or two in the early life" of the
Towpath Club, respectfully ask you to republish
the speech of Hon. Jay A. Hubbell, chairman of
the Congressional Republican Committee, deliv
cred at the banquet given by the club at the Riggs
House December 49, on the occasion of its dissolu-
ton, by which it will be seen that neither Presi-
dent Garfield nor any member of the club or of the
Republican party has any cause to regret its Or
gauiZatiOn LEWIS CLEPHANE.
Hon. Jay a. Hubbell called up for the second
time and said:
GENTLEMEN: In the speech made responding
TO the toast which given hardly had occasion to
allude the Towpath Club. 1t is certainly known by
every member of this club that L had some work 10
perform in the last campaign while acting as chair
man of the Congressional Committee and giving my
personal attention TO the whole campaign. Il can
easily be seen, therefore, that L had pretty broad
field to look over when attempted not only to aid all
could in securing States for Garfield, but III securing
the next House TO the Republican party. And Will
say that one of the efficient aids which had in
the work which came closer to the National City
found in the TOwpath Club [Applause.l The gentle
men of that clubbusineSS men, who desired no notice
from papers, who desired nOtOriety, but who came
TO simply Republicans desiring the success of
in attempting TO manage congressional districts close
TO the National Capital And 1 beg to say that
the Congressional Committee is under deep obliSa-
tiOnS TO the Towpah Club for the efficient service
which they rendered, not only in securing and win
ming districts but in attempting TO win districts which
were lost for take it that i'll any political campaign
five successful you may well call the success
full bunders success successful enterprises which
were planned with an idea of success, because no
man. no committee sitting here in Washington, can
ever tell beforehand whether his their efforts
TO be successful not just want to bear testimony
TO this fact-that wherever the TOwpath Club
could be of use the Congressional Committee had
absolute and complete control of their time, their
money, and their patriotism. lApplause.I The
National Committee also recognized the services Of
the TOwpath Club and you VIII find the files of
the Congressional Committee letters not only from
the chairman of the National Committee, but from
the secretary of that committee and other gentlemen
who were quite efficient in the campaign, acknowl-
edging to the splendid services which members of
that club rendered in the late political struggle and
il Is but simple justice for me 10 say that the Repub
lican party does owes TO the TOwpath Club of this
city a debt which it Will be hard to repay [Great
