Enthusiastic Meetings Held in Five Wards Last
Night.

places named in the call for the purpose
of organizing Republican clubs and for
the election of delegates to the Republican
League meeting at Topeka. The Sixth
ward Republicans, through some misun-
Outstanding as to the location, did not
meet, but will probably do so in few
| days
THE FIRST WARD.
The Republicans of the First Ward met
| in the elegant parlors of the MetropoIe
hotel. The attendance was so large
that several chairs had to be brought
from the dining from to accommodate
them. Colonel Milton Stewart presided
and Wendell Mclaughlin was chosen sec
rotary. Subsequently these two gentle
men were elected permanent president and
secretary OF the club respectively. The
best of harmony prevailed and it was ap-
parently the highest ambition of each
Republican present to do everything in
his power to start the club on strong
and popular basis. A constitution, SINH
lar to the one hereafter given. was adopt
ed and three delegates elected to attend
the league meeting-J. X. Sawyer, d. S.
Pence and Joseph Z. Henley.
THE SECOND WARD.
The Republicans of the Second ward
met at 7:30 in the Office of Justice Tucker
and proceeded to organize a Republican
club. The meeting was called TO order by
W. S. Morris and its object stated by him.
Mr.. II. ID. Heiserman was made temporary
chairman and Z. L. Enoch secretary. On
motion a committee on permanent organi-
cation was appointed, consisting of w. S.
Morris, c. II. Luling and B. H. Downing.
1t WAS moved that committee on codsti-
tuition and bylaws be appointed, and
Messrs. Stanley, Hume and Clement were
appointed the committee to report. I'M
mediately after the motion was
amended Several times the amend
ments were all lost, but the original
motion was carried and the meeting ad-
journed to give the committee time to re-
port after which the committee reported
and the constitution Of the state league,
with some amendments was adopted. A
recess of five minutes was then taken to
allow those present to sign the constitu-

names were attached to the constitution

following named gentlemen were unani-
mously selected: Mr.. g. W. Clement, J.
f. Hume and George Mac Donald. After
which the meeting adjourned to meet the

THIRD WARD.
By some mistake, that has not been ex-
planned, the Republicans of the Third
ward held two neetings-one in J, X.
Sawyer's office on the corner of First and
Market streets, Sedgwick block, and the
other in Schnitzler's hall on North Market
street. The call of the county chairman
stated that the meeting should be held at
the corner OF First and Main. 1t is prob
able that number of citizens thought the
location meant the old common pleas
court and went there, and finding it occu
pied adjourned to Schnitzler's hall. At
any rate the two meetings did not mean
split in the Republican organization of the
Third ward. 1t was an evident mistake
aud that is all there is to it. The meeting
at Sawyer's office was called to order by
Hon. j. r. Meade, who stated its object,
On motion Judge Z, B. Jewett was
chosen chairman and John NJ Humphrey
secretary. The attendance was good and
the most complete harmony prevailed.
Each republican felt that be had a sacred
duty to perform in assisting in organizing
the club aud he did it with all his heart.
After some discussion the club was named
the Third Ward Republican club of
Wichita
The following officers were elected till
the next regular meeting: E. B. Jewett,
president; G. H. Brooks, vice president;
Colonel H. l.. Taylor, treasurer, and John
NJ Humphrey, secretary.

Allen and w. L. Johnson were appointed |
