 General Pierpont made & rousing speech, after which there was lengthy discussion of the best and most effective way of reach ing the working class of people. W. s. Weller thought the best way was to hold meetings in the different wards and thereby get many Democrats to attend when they would not go to the Hyperion Theater. Colonel White threw out another sugges- tion. He though every member of the club should personally try to get Democrats who are workingmen to attend meetings ot the Hyperion. He said that when Foraker came he told five different Democrats that he would go to hear Dougherty if they would go to hear Foraker. They all went and two of them were convinced by that speakers argument and will vote for Harrison. The colonel said he went to hear Dougherty, but that that speaker failed to convince him. George Mallory said that as there were some Republican manufacturers in the diff ferent towns they might be induced to loan the workingmen in their establishments could hold rallies.
 o. s. Bushnell, E. c. Bushnell, N. D. Sperry, George Ford, Major Lincoln, Charles A. Baldwin, A. J. Beers and J. D. Dewell also took part in the discussion.
