Arrangements for the Ratification
Meeting.
The Democratic Central Committee
Rooms on Main street were filed to their
utmost capacity last night by the mem
bers of the Stephen M. White Demo
cratic Club, and most enthusiastic
meeting was held. The chair was taken
by Mr.. Blennerhasset, who called the
meeting to order at about s O'Clock. On
motion of Mr.. Clark recess of five min
utes was taken to allow all members who
wished to do SO to sign the roll. Upon
the meetingiagain being called to order,
Mr.. Clark moved to suspend the usual
order of business in order to introduce
the Iroquois Glee Club, which would
sing quartette for the company. Mr..
Borden, however, requested leave to pre-
sent the reports of the Executive Com
mittee, and the Committee on the Re-
ception of the Hon. Stephen M. White.
The Executive Committees report was
then read by Mr.. Borden, upon Mr..
Clark's withdrawal Of his motion.
Mr.. Borden reported that the Executive
Committee had prepared copy of the
constitution and bylaws of the Iroquois
Club, SO as to admit of their being used
for the Steve White Club. Another i'm
portant matter was that the committee
recommended that each member of the
club procure the following uniform: A
Democratic or Cleveland plug-hat, a red,
white and blue sash, and a button.
The Committee on the reception of the
Hon. Stephen M. White recommend
drawn up by the Executive Committee
that all members unable to procure the
whole uniform, wear the sash and button
on Saturday night next, the occasion Of
the reception; and that the club furnish
carriage for the committee. Mr.. Bor.
den then informed the club that it was
the intention to hold a ratification in
connection with the reception of Mr..
White. and asked the entire club to meet
on Saturday night at Z o'clock.
Mr.. Adams suggested that the Execu.
tive Committee should buy the uniforms
after canvassing the members for the
number needed.
Mr.. Borden, however, Was of opinion
that this would necessarily involve toe
much trouble for the committee. The
reports of the committee as read by Mr.
Borden were adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Clark the business
OF the club was then suspended and the
members of the Iroquois Glee Club were
introduced. Their singing of the quar-
tette "Three Cheers for Cleveland and
Thurman" was wildly .applauded, and
they had to repeat the last verse.
Mr.. Waters then announced that all
were expected to turn out next Saturday
night, and that each club would meet al
| its own headquarters at P. NJ, and thai
each would furnish their own torches.
AS the club was somewhat impatient
to hear speeches from some of the gentle
men present Mr.. White moved that the
club on adjournment meet again at s p
M. on Thursday next.
Mr.. Portland G. Hunt, of Ohio, was
then introduced and made most elo
quent dissertation on the merits of the
Democratic platform and the candidates
which was received and frequently in
terrupted with the widest enthusiasm.
Col. Messmore, of Michigan, followed
in somewhat similar strain.
| Upon the conclusion of his Grafton thu
gallant Colonel received perfect lorna
do of applause, in the midst Of which MIR
Clark moved that both gentlemen bt
elected honorary members of the clul
forthwith. Upon the motion being put
it was carried with great applause. The
club then adjourned until 8 p. NJ OF
Thursday night.
