aud Of course the great
est number Of Republicans.

Owing To the fact that some Of the
fourth ward fellows were afraid that
the organization Of clubs was a
scheme for booming n supposed can
iidatr for office no club was organ
lied in that ward by the committee
man appointed, who seems I" have
acted OH outside advice. The fears
Of these people have 10 some extent
AT least been allayed and the organ
ization Of the fourth ward will pro-
ceed on Friday night. Ii should Ice
borne in mind that the Republican
league clubs are too broad in their
scope to Ice used in the interest Of any
one man or any set Of men. These
clubs are brought into existence for
the purpose Of intoxicating Republic
can principles AMI establishing
members IN that faith.
