b. DEXTER HUBBARD RESIGNS.

he Young Mems Republican Club
It-An Enthusiastic Meet.
ing-NO Sign of Discord or Dissen-
sion-The Differences OF opinion ON
Club Administration is Purely Local
and In No Way Affects the Club a. u |
Whole.
Not the first evidence of the faction or
ascension that has emanated from demo-
ratio sources was evident from the meet
ng of the Young Mems Republican club
asst night. A large number were in at
;endance, and all were enthusiastic for the
BEST interests of the club. The friction at |
The meeting that had been predicted by a |
local democratic paper was conspicuous by |
Its absence.
Vice President Henry E. Marsh presided,
and after the routine business had been
transacted directed the secretary to read a
letter of resignation that had been sub
mitted to the club. The letter was from
B. Dexter Hubbard, the president of the
club, who resigned from that position.
Mr.. Hubbard said that he had presided
over the club for about two
years. In that time it's present home was
bought and paid for and the membership
of the club had increased doubly. In the
present prosperous condition of the club
he thought his resignation could receive
immediate action.
A viva voce vote was taken on the ques-
ton of accepting the resignation. Several
noes were heard, but when the chairman
called for vote again then there was no
opposition. F. L. Averill moved a vote of
thanks be rendered to Mr.. Hubbard for the
time and labor he had spent in furthering
the intereets of the club. James A. Ho
warth seconded the movement in speech
highly commendatory to Mr.. Hubbard.
The vote was unanimous.
John F. Gaffey moved that a committee
of fifteen be appointed to bring before the
club one or more names as candidate for
the vacant Office. It was suggested by Mr..
Howarth that the executive committee be
used as a nucleus for this committee, but
it was generally opposed on the ground
that the committee should be thoroughly
representative and not an officers meeting
and Mr.. Howarth withdrew his suggestion.
The chair appointed the following COM
mittee, who are to report to the next meet
ing if possible: F. L. Averill, J. P.
Goodhart, NJ. E. Chatfeld, N. NJ. Par
sons, S. NJ. M. Smith, D. 81. Clark,
G. NJ. McKendrick, G. L. Clark, J. Birney
Tuttle, F. G. Hotckiss, G. w. Pickett, F.
B. Farnsworth, n. D. Munson, ]. F. CAT
fey, L. Luddington.
The secretary was instructed to send a
| letter of thanks to the gentlemen who had
| contributed varying sums Of money, tax
| ing out stock in the name of the club. A
committee consisting of Frank A. COrbin,
| james A. Howarth, E. g. Wooster, G. w.
Clark and 81. K Beach was appointed to
provide glee club music during the cam
paign.
Notices will be published of the regular
meetings of the club every Thursday even
| ing in the republican newspapers on the
day of the meeting, 30 that all the mem
bers may be fully aware of them.
As the hour was still early several of the
members were called on for brief speeches.
Captain Minott A. Buttricks made a witty
speech, and one full of meat, too. He said
that it was not talks on the tariff that were
I wanted in that room, nor specuiatlons on
the way New York or Massachusetts, would
go in the election, but what Connecticut
and more especially New Haven would dc
on the election day. If the 400 republican,
in this city in 1883 that did not vote had
been brought to the pollsConnecticut would
not have been carried by the democrats by
paltry plurality of about that number
Other speeches were made by F. B. Farms
worth, James A. Howarth, G. W. Pickett
F. L. Averill, S. q. Dawson, G. w. Clarl
and Messrs. Hopkins and Smell. The bur
den of all the speeches was how to max
the rooms more attractive to the member
and to enlarge the social side.
After the meeting several members O.
the club we're interviewed as to the Gauss
of Mr.. Hubbard resigning. They wer
unanimous in commencing him for hi
services to the club. Though no one spok
| ;kx fho hob VIC
thought to be that the duties of tn
Office interfered with his business. In al
political clubs there is a diversity o
opinion. That anything of this kind
though, has grown to the proportions of
faction in the club, even, is arrant non
sense. Whatever feeling any member @
the club may have had about Mr.. Hubbard
as An officer is purely local and will in n
? way endanger the club. The opposing pr
litical party very naturally try to make
mountain out of a mole hill. Whateve
o differences of opinion there may have bee
t these are buried now. They are ancier
, history, matters of the past. The club
in prosperous condition financially, an
is gaining members at almost every NEE
ing.
f A meeting of the committee of fiftee
@ was held last night. Nothing was give
!, out for publication, but it is understood
that president has been unanimously d.
cided upon.
Bull Run.
q Yesterday was the anniversary of Il
first battle of the rebellion, fought at Blu
Run, Va, July 81, 1861, which resulted
disastrously to the Union troops, DIS
g we'll and even wildly remembered by mar
\ New Haveners who were on the spot.
