The Jim-Jack Mutual Admiration So
ciety Crystalized by the State
House Ring,


The Blaine and Logan campaign club after the
terrible throes to get born experiencedlast week,
Wednesday evening came out of the she'll with q
very respectable break of the egg, at Arion hall
lover the saaon) last evening, possibly fifty per-
SONS being present. of whom thirty-one attached
their names to the roll. The club was
organized by the choice of A. F.
Nordine, assistant secretary of state, as presi-
dent, M. d. Kenyon, assistant state auditor, sec
rotary, and T. 7. johnson, treasurer. On motion
S. A. Plumley, G. E. Chapel, M. d. Kenyon, II.
L. Benedict and d. L. Reese were chosen COM
mittee to draft preamble and resolutions, and
constitution and bylaws the first to state why
the club was formed and the last to furnish 1T
with reins for its guidance and government In the
future 1t was also voted to meet at Arion hall
every Wednesday evening for the time being.
7. A. Plumbley made talk in which the Re-
publican party were apystrophized as the saliva
ton army of the past, present and future, the
plumed knight of Maine the greatest statesman
on record, for reasons not explained, and was the
young mems idol of the nation, which was true
as respected the present gathering, not single
iron-gray being on hand. Cleveland was charac-
terised the unknown governor of New York,
formerly sheriff and assistant district attorney,
and was the representative Of the same old rebel
Democratic party who had been licked for twenty
years and now come up to be gloriously licked
again. The argument made on the ~'asn0aon
business showed how the memory OF Frank
Pierce and John Tyler had slipped away
from the memories of the present generation
while an ashy. smoky smell from burning straw
pile failing to become purified by ferriage Of
the river from over in the Sixth ward seemed a
fitting incense to this species of wild oratory.
President Nordine on being called upon said he
could not remember since he was old enough to
vote of the name of a nominee which had filed
him SO brimfull of enthuse as that of Blaine.
Nordine tells a good story, and he tells it well,
and to describe how the Cleveland boom had died
out, told the negro catfish story of shrlnkage from
bouncer to a shrimp, but forgot to mention
that the Blaine first and last had collapsed into a
dried herring. He said the Republican party
had become so amiable in long rule that they had
become careless of their rights and arraigned
President Arthur for letting even such an insig-
nifcant monarchy as Spain spit in America S face
without retaliation. He wanted Blaine who
would take Spain and these little foreign fellows
across his knee and spank them.
The mule and the turpentine story was not up
to the one he told as starter, and his criticism
because our nation has no navy was foul ball
for his own nine from the fact that the Repub-
lican party has been engaged ever since the war
in abdicating the mighty deep in favor of the
war and commerce tubs of other nations.
Mr.. Kenyon made vigorous speech for BRING
ing out every Republican vote in the state in the
coming campaign. He thought Blaine would
carry the northern states solid, some OF the
southern, but nothing was said about Mexico.
He didn't care about the heightened, aristocratic
Democrats coming over for Blaine, nor for Geo.
VIM Curtis but he wanted all the poor Demo-
Gratis to come into the Republican camp, where
no one wore kid gloves or boiled shirts, or some
thing to that effect.
Mr.. Reese was an enthusiastic talker for the
the nominees of whom Logan, the black eagle of
Illinois was as pure, spotless and incorruptlble
as the s'beautiful snow before it hit the gener-
ally dirty earth, He was raised in the same air
as the eagle, and had that to do with him social
ly and in business, but said nothing about any
political EXPERIENCES. Blaine was big salesman,
but the eagle was evidently little the bigger
man, and although he didn't say anything about
having the ticket turned tail to, it was evident
that the transposition would not be
opposed by him. A mans not
worth wisp of marsh hay who wont back up an
old friend for the vice-presidency, and give him a
chance, if elected, to go fishing when he is a
mind to for four years of summers, which is
about ali the Office amounts to, unless somebody
else higher up kicks the bucket. Mr.. Reese
closed by saying that as far as heard from the
bulk of the German and Irish vote was just as
good as in the Republican party's billiard table
pockets, as well as Minnesota and Ramsey
county.
