The Young Meas Republican Tariff Club
met last evening and elected delegates to
the Scranton Convention. A resolution was
passed instructing the delegates to use their
endeavors to have the delegates from every
properly organized Republican club admit
ted to full membership in the convention.
Forty-seven new members were admitted
and over 200 members were present at the
meeting which was presided over by A. c..

the vote of the club for c. L. Magee, W. H.
McCleary and John Doyle as delegates to
the Scranton convention, and for Senators
William Finn and John Upperman and Po-
lice Magistrate John Gripp as alternates
This having been done, Mr.. Magee said:
"Mr. President, as understand the object
of forming Republican club organizations
it is for the pnrpose of furnishing support to
the principles and to the candidates of the
Republican party. As one of the delegates
elect to the convention OF the League Re-
publican Clubs of the State from the Young
Mems Republican Tariff Club, of Pitts
burg. which is known as one of the
State, l would ask for an expression from
the club of its opinion as to the action of
the Executive Committee OF the State
the State Convention upon the representa-
tives of all clubs organized during the pres
ent year, no matter how properly such clubs
may have been organized, and no matter
how closely they may have complied with
and followed the provisions and directions
of the constitution of the State League.
GAS it is well known that the club has al
ready unanimously indorsed one of its hon
ored members the Hon. John Dalzell, for
the presidency of the State League of Re-
publican Clubs, and as, in my opinion, the
permanency and usefulness of the State
properly organized Republican clubs, 1
would respectfully suggest that the resolu-
tion expressing the opinion of the club on
this question should be free from any refer
ence to the individual candidacy of any
body at this time The question at issue is
mensely greater than the interests of any
individual"
Messrs. George H. Treusch, James Nc
Knight and Gamble Weir were appointed a
Committee on Resolutions. They reported
the following:
Club, with pardonable pride in the record
it has made i'll past campaigns; with
greater pride in the glory and achievements
of the Republican party; believing from its
own experience that Republican clubs le-
Ultimately organized for the purpose of fur
thering Republican principles are useful
auxiliaries to the party organizations; there
fore directs its delegates this night elected
to the State Republican Convention of
League Clubs to use all honorable endeav
ors to have the delegates from every prop
erly organized Republican club recognized
and admitted to full membership in that
convention, without regard to the date of
the clubs organization"
The report was unanimously adopted and
the meeting adjourned.
