The Michigan Club Banquet.
Detroit Trihune Eeh ~

From The Detroit Tribune Feb. II.
The Michigan Club has demonstrated its
usefulness to the republican party in this
state, and it has won the regard of wider
circle of republicans than almost any similar
organization of its kind in America. 1t will
celebrate its seventh anniversary on the
22nd instant by a banquet at the Detroit
Rink, and every indication now points to
the assemblage at that time Of one of the
most notable political gatherings i'm the his
tory of Michigan. IL will be- i'm fact, the
first great rally of Michigan republicans for
the campaign of this year, and it promises
to be such meeting as will arouse repub-
lcan enthusiasm as it has not been aroused
in this state for many years.
The official announcements OF the club
furnish the information that the list of dis
tlnguiShed statesmen and orators who will
be present surpasses the most sanguine ex-
pectatiOn of those in charge of the cele-
bratiOn, and it cannot fail to excite intense
interest among republicans i'm every section
of the state. General Alger will preside,
and Representative j. G. Burrows will
make the address of welcome. Then those
who are fortunate enough to be present will
find new inspiration to stand loyal to repub-
lcanism in the eloquent addresses of Hon.
j. 5. Clarkson, chairman of the republican
national committee and a republican of the
best and truest type; Honorable J. S. Fas-
sett, of New York. the brilliant young re-
publican who so gallantly contested for the
governOrship of the Empire state last year.
Honorable John G. SpoOner, of Wisconsin,
one of the most eloquent men i'm the repub-
lican party: Honorable f. Il. Greenhalge of
Massachusetts,, who has a national reputa-
ton as an orator and whose republcanism is
of the most stalwart kind: Honorable b. w.
Perkins. the new United States Senator from
Kansas: Senator j. n. Dolph OF Oregon,
Senator w. ID. Washburn of Minnesota,
Honorable &. ii. Grosvenor of Ohio, and
Honorable Richard Yates. Jr., of Illinois.
Governor Mckinley. of Ohio, has also prom
ised TO be present if the state Of his health
will permit, and altogether no such brilliant
array of able and eloquent men has ever
been seen on a platform in Michigan as will
entertain the Michigan Club and its guests
on the 22nd instant
There should be a splendid awakening of
Michigan Republicanism on this occasion,
and the representation should be from every
section and county of the state. The men,
bershp of the club should also be enormous
ly increased this year and all republicans
are invited to join it without delay. Tickets
to the banquet will be sold only TO members
in good standing, and all applications for
membership at this time will be acted upon
at once. The duty of organization is para
mount in the great campaign now almost at
hand, and The Tribune urges the republi
cans of the state to connect themselves i'm
mediately with the Michigan Club, whose
influence for party success can hardly be
Overestimated. Let there be rousng rally
of Michigan republicans on the 22nd.
