| From Morning Editlonl
| A squad OF the old reliable republicans met
at the mayors Office last evening for the pur-
pose Of iurthering the organization OF a
permanent republicsn club Chairman j.
Miles called them to order at o'clock and
called on the committee OF organization on be.
halt OF which Chairman j. +. McGrew reported
that the committee had had several meetings
and had talk, d over many plans for permsnen,
club. On behalf of the committee he re-
ported in favor of forming Joint stock cor
poratron, with u stock OF " 800 divided into
| $50 shares OF $40 each. The dues would
probably amount to 50 cents per share per
year. BY this plan they could
rent club house and acquire
property, 80 that each member would have a
practical property showing for his investment.
| lie said that the rent of a house would cost
about $500 per year, and that janitor the
! necessary number Of newspapers and perodi-
Gals, light fuel furniture, &c, would bring
the expense up to about ) 900 or 81 200 per
year, which would have to be paid out of the
revenues OF the club. Bert Whitley moved
to adopt the report and his motion was sec
onded.
| p. NJ. Cartmel said he thought that a
motion to receive would be better, as il was
hardly proper to commit the meeting-a
| IN ,,la Il,
spoke in favor OF the plan and stated that it
was the scheme on which the Lincoln club,
of Cincinnati, had hourished for so
long. Mr.. MCGreS agsiu spoke
favoring delay in adopting the plan until
n 'cw more OF the prominent republicans had
be'u consulted. +. L. Blchwalter spoke in
favor Of more dciberstion. lie objected that
the shares were too high and wonld thus
keep out nany valuable republicans who
could not afford to take stock. p. NJ.
Cnrtnoll again spike to the effect
that the amount and division Of stock
would come undcr the direction tf the tru--
tees. lie Wa corrected by Mr.. McGrew, who
sta,el that the amount of the stock must be
specified in the articles Of Incorporation. Mr.
CArtmell then mentioned Il few very high fig
ures to be specified, but took his seat when
told that fifty per cent Of the stock must be
subscribed and ten per cent. paid 10 before
the cub could he Incorporated
Mr.. Miles spoke in favor OF taking decisive
active at the present meeting as all republ
cans in the city kncw that such club cor
poratiOu WAS u foregone conclusion, aud were
only waiting tor a chance to subscribe He
suggested that a printed prospectus be gotten
out Hnd COMMITTEES appointed to canvass and
find out about how many shares would
be taken. II it became necessary the
capital stock could then be increased.
Mr.. Buchwalter again suggested that the
stock be placed at So per share. Mr.. Miles
replied rha, in the committee they had dis.
cussed this matter. They had thought that
| $50 was about the maximum number tha
they could get. and as they would hardly
start out with anything less tn IN 81 5OO to
do this they must put the stock at $40 per
share. +. N. Campbell suggested tina,
if enough subscribers could be
procured they might only make a 80 per
cent. assessment to start on, leaving the rest
TO he collected when they were ready to buy
real estate.
After some further talk and explanation
the question was called on the original re.
port. This report was repeated for the bene.
fit OF the large number who had just come
in and was adopted without a. dissenting
| voice.
f NJ Campbell then moved that com.
mittee be appointed to make the application
for charter under the plan adopted. The
real purpose Of this committee was 10 take
the work IN hrnd and find out how the stock
subscriptions were z ,ing to pan out and ,her
act accordingly. Mr.. Miles explained a,
length the necessary steps in obtaining n cor
poraton charter. Considerable desultory tall
followed until those present could understand
the nt, nj Of the motion. When 1t became
clear that it WAS merely for the purpose o
obtaining "A guarantee that sufficient amour
OF stock would be subscribed the motion
was so amended by Mr.. McGrew that the
committee should draw up an application 10
the information OF those whom they shoul,
visit, and should take books in which
the names OF those guaranteeing tn
stock should be taken down. Nj. Miles sug
gested that several comittees be appointed.
The question as amended by Mr.. McGrsy
was now called and it was adopted. On tn
suggestion Of Messrs. Whitley and Huffman
it was agreed that the committee should con
sist OF ten members, divi4ed into smaller com
mittees of two by Chairman Miles.

sen'ed the following committee
