REPUBLICAN THANKSGIVING,
Five Hundred HarrisOnians Eat,
Drink and Make Merry.

Special to the Globe.
NEW York. Dec. 1.-The Republicans
of this city gave a jubilee dinner to-
night at the Metropolitan hotel. Oyer
500 invitations were issued and fully
that number of guests were present.
On the walls in the main dining room,
where the banquet was spread, were
the portraits of the president and
vice president-elect of the United
states. President Of the Republican
League James =. Foster presided.
There were no set speeches, but the
guests called upon by the chairman
made few remarks, touching mainly
on the issues OF the late campaign.
Among those present were Thomas G.
Plat, eX-Judge Noah Davis, Hon.
Frank Hiscock, IL. x. Thurber, Gen.
Joseph G. Jackson and Alfred R. Conk-
ling. Senator Quay, Warner Miller and
Chauncy NJ. DepeW expected to have
been present. but were unable to attend.
Mr.. Foster called the assemblage to
order, and complimented the Repub-
licanS on their organization. He re-
viewed the principles andachieyements
of the Republican league, and declared
that it would be ever true to the party.
He congratulated the party upon the
national victory, and said 1t was the re-
suit of loyalty to the nation. Treachery
at the polls would forever exclude those
attempting it from the party. With
the new South before them, and
the solid South behind, the new states
of the West, Dakota divided and adj
mitted, Washington and Wyoming ter
ritories raised to statehood, the sec
pnd century of the republic would be-
gin like the first. The mantle of the
matchless Washington" he concluded,
'sfalls upon the brave and fearless
leader, Benjamin Harrison, like him,
always loyal to tile people and the re-
public"
