President Ankeny made an inaugural adj
dress. setting forth his views ana IDEAS con-
corning the club, as follows:
esteem it, l assure you, Il no slght honor
to be elected in its organization the presl-
dent OF the algonquin club. Your pur-
poses are well expressed III Inc prealnole ~
trile Democratic principles, and preserve ana
promote harmony ana unity of action in the
Democratic party i'll hennepln county.
With these purposes am III the IuHesu sym
patty.
There is certainly wisdom in organizing a
club like the present. The great Democratic
apostle, Thomas Jefferson, never ceased III
his lifetime TO impress upon. the people the
absolute necessity of forming ana ihtiiiltali-
ing Democratic clubs. 10 MN they "ere
the older might gather, and to all the most
effective instrumentalitieS to carry into exc
cution the principles agreed upon IN conVen-
ton and to secure the men selected there as
standard-bearerS.
The time and place is most fitting, too, for
our action The Democratic party OF TINS
country is no longer in minority. For the
first time in the lives of many OF the younger
Democrats before me, they see the power OF
our government intruSted TO Democratic
hands. With such wisdom and integrity OF
purpose are our national affairs being adulh-
istered that not only do the hearts OF Demo-
Gratis. rejoice but even our political oppo-
nents concede that we enjoy good govern
ment To further magnify the good WORK,
and thus bring to our ranks the accession OF
those who are well disposed, is to-day the
highest duty of Democrats. With popular
majority now in this city, it is not too much
to hope that we can also this fall redeem the
state.

10000 TO $4,000 each year by immigration and
increase, there is peculiar field for work
like ours. Strangers must be met and made
welcome Previous predictions in our favor
in politics must be encOuraged-the hostile
must be looked after. By promoting and ex-
tending acquaintance accessions to the DEM
ocratic cause will be gained. There will be
place where all may meet, take part in the
discussion of living questions, and SO be
ready for earnest action in the day Of battle.
/ can foresee a hundred ways in which this
club may work, and work effectively. With
the ambitions and aspirations to Office
OF individuals it will have no concern.
These must take their chances on the open
highway OF life. But when once campaign
is opened, with platforms agreed upon and
candidates selected by the conventions, then
this club may be a tremendous power in
maintaining true Democratic principles.
Such, gentlemen, l take it to be your objects,
and if you do but faithfully carry them out,
the approval OF the great Democratic body,
not only at home, but abroad, will be yours,
and that will amply repay you for your labors.
The club directed the trustees to present
data in relation to obtaining and fitting up
permanent quarters. Resolutions on the
death of John Kelly were drafted and
adopted, and the club adjourned until next
Tuesday ISN'T.
