The contest In the Union League Club being over the
members can settle down again To quiet life Mr..
wilson will continue the head Of the organization for
which he has done much. for another year. The
opposition developed stronger however than any
one expected it would be. Mr.. Wilson received 80
votes while Joseph Aspinal, although he had with
drawn from the race. had 15l. The vote cast was
light being lc,, than half the full membership Of the
club. All the rest Of the regular ticket went
through. and. with the exception Of some OPP
position to ID. VI. Munger the regular candi-
date for second vice president, the elections
we're unanimous one Of the points raised against Mr..
wilson alleged disposition on his part 10 sup
press reports Of resolutions various subjects adopted
by the club. His friends deny this, but say mat

important measures and enter into every political
controversy which arises. The opinions expressed
would soon lo-c all weight. The Union League club
Of Ncw ork has set a good example in thi, regard,
always Withholding IL, voice IN petty things, bat never
failing the right side IN time Of need. II there
Is any disposition 10 follow the other course
