publicans Last Night.
THE ROLL TO BE KEPT OPEN.
Election Of Oficers Deferred Until the
Membership IL Larger-Meeting
at the Opera House.

spiendfdlv responded 20 last night. The
hail was packed TO the doors, and there
was not an inch Of spare room even
around the judges jais. Dr.. e W. Young
was called 70 the chair and Harry Wear
roll selected 10 set as secretary.
Il had been expected that the club
would proceed TO permanent organization.
but the sense of the meeting was that
an act of 50 much importance should
be deferred until the rolls were
signed. Accordingly. II was resolved
to hold meeting az the ope-a-house next
Saturday night, if ii could be obtained
then, when the roll of membership will be
eaayassed and permanent officers elected.
The chair appointed a committee, consist
ing OF Erastus B-ainerd, Charles Anderson
and ]. w. Hanna. TO arrange for the meet
ing. Meantime, the roll will be kept open
daily at ''Goldie's," q. the corner OF Yesier
avenue and Second street. Amy qualified
elector who subscribes TO the principles OF
the Republican party Is qualified TO Join.
After the minutes OF the previous meet
ing had been read Melvin 6. Winstock
moved that a committee OF three be ap-
pointed by the chair TO draft the terms of
membership. and after an amendment by
Trusten P Dyer had been incorporated,
the motion prevailed. A recess was taken
while the committee. consisting of Dyer,
Winstock and Joseph Shippen, prepared
the document. It provides that any quail
fed eiector believing IN Republican doc
trines and pledging himself to vote for
the national Republican candidates is ell
igibie. This was adopted and an animated
discussion followed upon the proposition
10 proceed TO organization.
Paul d. Henry thought the choice of
officers should be left to the Republicans;
he objected to organization until the roll
had been signed. They did not know yet
who were members OF the cub.
Mr.. Fishback thought they we're always
prone TO run too eagerly 20 elections. He
thought they should secure the members
first We were always wanting TO elect
officers and then leave clubs 10 look after
themselves. He earnestly urged delibera-
ton and cool Judgment in selecting
officers. Moved as substitute to the mo-
ton TO at once select officers, that the
chair appoint two well-known Republi-
cans from each ward who should draft
constitution and report upon membership
at the next meeting, and that then the en-
rolled members elect the officers.
John Wiley thought the interests of the
Republican party could be safely intrusted
to that gathering. He doubted if they
could get more representative gathering
a. any time. He had heard something
said about Republicans in good standing.
He did not know how that was 20 be de-
termined. If they were to Judge by the
last election, when the Republican party
went Democratic laughter and cheers],
they might find it difficult to apply test
Whatever differences there had been in
the past he was confident that they were
all united in the grand principles of the
Republican party. He was in favor of a
permanent organization being perfected at
once.
izing at once.
Mr.. Carroll said it seemed to be matter
OF credentials, but as long as there was
reasonable certainty of regularity he hoped
the organization would prevail tonight.
Mr.. Dyer reminded them Of the success
of the Harrison LEGION they were here for
the purpose of organization and many
would go home disappointed if that were
not done.
Mr.. Clark moved that the substitute be
laid on the table.
Mr.. Fishback asked if they knew that it
would take three solid hours to sign the
roll. Every Republican should be allowed
TO vote, but they should be sure that only
Republicans were allowed. 1t would be a
farce TO attempt to sign the roll in fifteen
minutes. Suppose they called viva voce,
could they tell who were voting?
Lee Fairchild, on behalf of the Mug
wump, said he was not a Mugwump, and
ii was a compliment to a man that he
knew nothing about the tariff or free trade.
After proceeding several minutes he was
interrupted by point of order, which Mr..
Fairchild said was well taken, as he was
through with his speech.s Laughter.
]. w Corson thought there was no dan
ger about getting the Republicans ont
again. [Cheers.l There was more fear
about acting too hastily in the selection of
officers.
The motion was put 10 table Fishback's
substitute but Erastus Brainerd expressed
the hope tina; there would be no attennt
to suppress free discussion, and the
motion was voted down.
Charles Anderson strongly urged that
