The 1880 club (h2lf breeds) and tie
Grant club, lstalwsrts) this evening,
serenaded Senators Eject Miller and Lap
Lam. A very large cOncourse OF citizens
gathered in front of the hotel and gave
the new officials hearty welcome.
Warner Miller, in his speech, said: IT
know you came here tonight, not so
much to congratulate my colleague and
myself upon the high offices which have
been protfered US by the legislature, as
you do to rejoice, one and all, at the hsr-
monious aud suspicious ending of the
most bitter contest which has been urged
within the ranks of the republican party
for the lsst ten weeks, 8 contest which in
bitterness and ferceness has never been
surpassed since the republican party
was organlzed-a contest which at one
time it seemed could not be ended except
by the disruption of the republican
party. But at last wise ,counsels have
prevailed, and to-day the csntending
factions have united and have harmoni-
ously settled the difficulties Of past
weeks. Tonight, fellow republicans, we
will blot out Of the vocabulary of the re-
publican party the names of the factions
under which we have commended. ZAP
plsuse Tonight we lay down the bar
ners Of the factions which we have been
holding up, and once again rally around
the old banners of the republican party
which we followed to victory in '64 and
'68, aye, down through all the years
without the failure of victory up to the
present time. (Applause.l banner
oh hoA -
have done more for the elevation snd ad-
vancemeDt of the human race than have
ever been inscribed upon the banners of
any other uolitical organization. ZAP
plsuse.) Ihare Is written upon that
banner the emancipation of 100000
slaves (applsuse), rebellion crushed and
our glorious republic preserved Zap
plause), union restored and rehsbitated
the nations honor, a nations debt hon.
estly paid (spplsuse), victory for protec-
ton to home industry and home labor,
victory, fellow citizens,
which to-day gives US the crowping sue
cess which we see all over the country.
Then there is written upon that banner
internal Improvements and the develop
ment of all great resources of this great
country. God forbid that its banner
should ever be lowered and trailed in the
dust by party factions. The putting
down OF factions is q JOY which preyades
every hamlet of tae Empire State. The
test Of our Loyalty is in our rsllying
around this banner and carrying it to vic
tory. There is another, greater Joy in all
hearts, that our great and beloved Presi-
dent is to be spared to US, and all loyal
can rejoice in sending him
greeting that tonight the republican
party Of New York is unit 10 his sup
port, and will in this trying hour uphold
his hands and add to the comfort of his
sick couch.
Senator Lspham said: In the nomin-
clature of the caucus which selected us,
my honorable colleage was desig uated
as al administrative man, or half breed
(lsughter), and l was selected because
was denominated stalRart. If to be
stalwsrt means devotion to the principles
and organizations Of the repu blican party,
l accept the appellation with pleasure.
(ApplRuse.) Ii it means that am any
more thus devoted than my distinguished
colleague, to whom you have just listened,
am not willing t. accept tina. distinc-
ton. (ApplAuse Nor / am willing to
that my colleague Is any
more or any better administrator than I
am. (Applause.) was saying Of Thos.
Jefferson when therepublicans triumphed
in the year 1905 over the federal party,
and if l remembar rightly incorporated
in his first inaugural address, "We sre
all federslists, we are all republicans"
and respond in this moment OF ectesay
by ssiDg We are tonight all stalwarts,
and sli administration men. Applause
We have not been selected, fellow
citizens, for the poor purpose OF dispens-
ing federal patronage in this great state
of New York"
Senator Pitts-Thank God for that.
MIR. LsphSm = That is an inferior
portion of the high duty dovolving upon
q senator from this imperial state. It is
a duty which my honorable colleague
and myself, trust, will be able to dis
charge With malice toward none, with
hatred toward none, with charity for all.
(Applsuse He alluded to other and
more statemanlike duties.
Other speeches followed, and then A.
G. Dagget of Brooklyn, entertained the
club In his parlor. The best of
feeling prevails tonight, all the bitter
ness Of the recent heated campaign being
buried.
Csnandaigus, %. The news of the
election of Lspham was received here
with demonstrations of rejoicing. A pub
lie reception will be rendered the SEN
ator-elect tomorrow, irrespective OF any
party.
