HONORS TO MORROW.
The New Judge Given a Right
Pleasant Reception.

| Very few events of political and social
| character prove to be more happy success
| than the reception rendered to Hon. w. w.
Morrow last evening by the Morrow Club
| in its cosy rooms, on the corner of Powell
and Union streets. There appeared to be
| only one circumstance that could be con-
| strued into a drawback, the club-rooms
| were not large enough to accommodate the
| large number of friends who honored the
event with their presence and expressed
much pride at being numbered among the
clubs friends. Probably not less than two
or three hundred were entertained during
the evening.
Supervisor David Jackson, President of
the club, called the meeting to order, and in
few happy remarks, pertinent to the &C.
casion, introduced the guest of the evening.
Hon. w. w. Morrow, ex-Congressman, and
the newly appointed Judge of the United
States District Court
Mr.. Morrow responded In very warm
praise of his entertainers. The occasion
was genuine heart-warmer, he said, and
any man would be something less Impress
ible than stone were he not touched by it.
1t ought to be glory enough for any man to
know that his name Is so cherished in the
hearts of his fellow-men. He felt special
pride on this occasion to know that the
honor came from such worthy source In
all his political experience he had never
come in contact with class of young men
possessing II cleaner record and higher
moral tone than the membership of the
Morrow Club. He had perfect confidence
that they would preserve their good name
and prove. in all future emergencies what
they had so cGedtably demonstrated in the
past-their answering fidelity to the Re-
publican party.
Ex-Governor Perkins followed Mr. Nor
row in his usual happy strain. The Gov
ernOr does not make any pretensIons to
public appearance. but he has a diStinctively
fascinating manner in his quiet little talks
that holds as nothing else can. He paid
many graceful compliments to the clubs
guest and applauded the club on its excel
lent record as a power In the Republican
ranks.
Mayor Sanderson was next called upon.
He felt, he said, that 1t was entirely out of
place for him TO try to say anything alter
the entertaining words of those who had
preceded him. He felt however, that he
must congratulate the city, the State, the
Republican party and the United st ties
judiciary on securing such a worthy aud
able man as Mr.. Morrow. His past record
in public life Is sufficient guaranty of his
future conduct.
John T. Dare, J. n. E. Wilson, Cornelius
O'COnnor, United States Surveyor General
Pratt Alexander Campbell. DR.. Meyer, A.
Ruef and others made short and pleasant
music, songs and bountiful flow Of cham
payne. President jackson was called npon
and responded, in behalf of the club, that it
could always be relied upon for good, hard,
telling. Republican work.
1--WE are all young fellows" said he
laughter; Mr.. jackson cast his first vote in
1886, land we mean what we say. All we
want is recognition and we mean to have IL.
You old men must not forget that you are
on your way TO Lone Mountain and that
these young fellows are soon to take your
places. Don't put anything in their way,
but give them all the encouragement you
can"
Thomas Graham assisted much in the en-
tertainment with humorous songs and reci-
tations. He recited "KelIey's Dream" and
up Went MeGinty."
