The Union League Club appears to lie a success In
politics, judging from it's efforts In the direction Of
registration. President Francis II. Wilson invented
the circulars recently sent out to every Republican
urging the necessity OF early registration On the
J first day the number registered fell only little
short of OOO being 900 than that of the
first day in the last Presidential year. These
facts may not stand IN the relation Of and effect
but they certainly lave look OF antecedence and
consequence that Is dangerously to showing that
the Union League Club has got to bear tho blame for
the large registration.
There Is talk Of another addition to the clubs OF
Brooklyn This time it IS the establishment OF an
organization different from any hitherto existing in
BROOKLYN though its counterpart is found In the 7h
Regiment Veterans Club Of New York. The Odd Rcgi
ment Veterans have been for time talking of
starting club and 1t is likely that the PROPOSE
ton will take shape On Wednesday evening the COM
mee will report at the meeting Of the veterans ut the
Clarendon Hotel. There 1000 veterans upon
whom to draw for membership and out OF this num-
Der IL Is probable that club list Of several hundred
could be made II the scheme Is carried through o
house will be rented the 1rmory which Is
being built at Bedford-ave and Pacifc-st This Is
addition to the list Of clubs that apparently would
not interfere with the prosperity Of any existing or
anlyatons and would in itself have good chance to
be successful.
