for President Mr.. Steffens, and the latter
was elected unanimously.
| A. B. Sanborn was nominated by Tom
Scott for Vice-President, with the same re-
suit.
C. H. Hubbard was the unanimous
choice of the meeting for Commander of
the Brigade
Major W. A. Anderson nominated H.
Theiben for Secretary and he was elected
without opposition.
The selection of an Executive and FL
nance Committee was left with the Presi-
dent, and he promised to announce his
selections before adjournment.
Colonel Humbert then took the floor
and announced that a Markham Republic
can Club, consisting of over sixty men,
bers had already been formed at Folsom,
and it was DESTROYS of joining the ranks of
the Brigade.

member of the brigade amid loud ap-

would be good idea for the Secretary to
D6 W Invite oil luc CluUS Ill lut
county to join the brigade as soon as pos
sible, so that they could assist at the recep.
| ton OF Colonel Markham when the latter
arrives here on the 4th of next month.
J. 0. Coleman moved that the Executive
| Committee of the brigade take charge of
| the arrangements for the Markham recep-
| ton.
President Steffens suggested that the
gentleman's motion was hardly complete.
He said the County Central Committee
really should have charge of the arrange
ments ard it would be better that the
committee and the brigade act IN har-
mony.
Mr. Coleman explained that he did not
| mean that the brig ade should take prece.
dence over the County Central Committee.
| What he did mean was that the brigade
should be fully represented at the recep-
| ton and that its Executive Committee
should attend to the arrangements for the
part the brigade would take in the affair.
Mr. Coleman's motion was then carried.
MORE NAMES TO THE ROLL.
Major Anderson stated, for the benefit of
those present who were not at the last
| meeting, that roll had been started. and
| he thought it would be good idea to in
crease that list before adjourning.
W. H. Sherburn thought it would be a
good idea to sign the roll right away. Be-
sides, he said, there were numer of clubs
| that were DESTROYS of organizing, who had
called meetings for this evening, and be
| thought it would be good idea to take a
| recess for an hour, so as to give them an
opportunity, and at the same time let the
roll be signed.
This suggestion seemed to favorably i'm
| press the Others present, and recess was
| declared.
