Spirited Demonstration by the Repub-
lfcan %Club-The New Headquarters
Dedicated.
The Harrison and Morton club last
night dedicated the club room to the
honorable and lofty purpose for which
it is designed bysa demonstration the
like of which has never been witnessed
i n Yankton. The affair had been an
ticipated with expressions somewhat
skeptical by the populace and it resulted
in q grand surprise for everybody,
particularly the democrats. To-day it
has been the topic OF much conversation
and beside being q very encouraging
event for republicans, it has furnished
democratic wits with subjects for ex-
crossing their favorite pastime. But he
laughs best who laughs last, and q loud
republican smile will span the United
States from New York to San Francisco,
! via Yankton, in less than two months.
The dedicstoIy exercises were opened
with a torch light procession of the uni
formed branch Of the club, numbering
one hundred men. Each man wore q
o and a cap of either red, white or
blue end the Yankton band in dress
uniform, generated by Drum Major Gus
Braucb, led the column on its route.
w. f. Munroe and a. B. Murphy COM
manded. The procession started from
the front of the club room on Third
street at eight o'clock, and going west
to Broadway went north to Fifth street,
then east to Pine street. then south to
Third and west on Third to the club
rooms. On Fifth street Captain J. O.
MoVsy had a large American flag ex-
posed, and the procession greeted this
emblem with huzzas and cheers which
were audible blocks away. The process.
sion when formed stretched over two
blocks, and was followed IN its
rounds by a mob of enthusiastic
on lockers. The bend blew it's most
cheerful strains and the city was ablaze
with excitement. The procession APP
peared to an excellent advantage and its
progress was enough to inspire people
with a desire to yell.
at the club room the procession dis
persed and speeches in the club room
followed, L. e. French and r. j. Gam.
BILE addressed the spectators, making
stirring speeches. Governor Newton
Edmunds made q brief speech; in which
he suggested ways and means for effect,
i've work IN the campaign.
Another demonstration of moro pre-
tentious dimensions will occnr soop.

Billy Diehi's Lion safe.

To the Editor of the Republic:
DR.. Martin Luther used to say II q man
would undertake to please everybody he
would please nobody. and two wrongs don't
make right.
The communication published In your in
teresting paper Tuesday night (signed
citizen) giving the names of several partit 8
who, under no circumstances, would rent
their houses for saloon, caused consider
able of q stir and dissatisfaction. 1t was
not the intention OF ''Citizen" to injure any
one, neither in his business nor character.
Among us we have some of the most re-
spectacle and honest men In the saloon
business, but never In my life did l do .
wrong or try to injure q man keeping u
saloon, friend or foe. / never spoke dis
respectfully Of anyone who would rent his
house for that purpose, but / consider 1t
wicked to cast slurs at parties that once
have rented houses for that purpose. Where
is the man who has done in his life what he
wouldn't do again? am sorry now that
the epistle was published, but assure my
friends as well as my foes that no harm
was intended. But what has all that got
to do with Uncle Billy Diehl's lion? The
democrats can't turn him round this fall,
no way. CITIZEN.
