The drenching rain of Tuesday night did
not dampen the ardor of the Democrats of
Westminster, and over seventy of them met
at the Wantz Building, and organized 'The
Cleveland Stevenson and Talbot Club of
Westminster District" Many who could not
attend directed friends to have their names
entered on the list as members, and 153 per-
sons were enrolled. Had the weather been
fair it is probable all these and many more
would have been present. There was more
interest manifested, more confidence of sue
cess apparent and more determination evineed
to bring out the strength ofthe party than the
prime movers in the organization OF the club
had expected, and no Democratic club in this
distict ever started under as favorable au-
spices as the one formed on Tuesday night.
B. F. Grouse called the meeting to order
and nominated Henry Vanderford as tempo
rary chairman. This nomination, as well as
all others, was carried unanimously. Mr..
Vanderford made few remarks in taking the
chair, saying the large attendance on such
stormy night was indicative ofthe interest and
enthusiasm of the party here; that If the same
feeling prevailed everywhere, as he believed
IL did, success was assured in November.
His remarks were received with applause.
James A. Diffenbaugh was chosen tempo
rary secretary. The club proceeded to effect
a permanent organization at once, and per
manent officers were chosen as follows: ).
Milton Reifsnider president; Edward Lynch,
John E. Eckenrode, Jacob l.. Shater, VIM.
Struth and Louis NJ. Sellman vice. presidents;

Republican Politics.
Pursuant to call a number of Republicans
met at the Sentinel office last Monday night
to organize club The antagonism existing
between the McKellip and the anti Nc kelhp
faction, which was supposed to have been
passed over for the time, was very apparent
from the beginning of the meeting. "The
young, talented and progressive editor of
the organ of the Roop- Huber Goodwin fac
ton, had been put forward for president OF
the club, and he showed considerable energy
in working for his election. When Col. Nc
Kellip and Postmaster Sharrer went to the
meeting and surveyed the crowd they found
the other side was largely in the majority.
They had heard some inkling Of the opposi-
ton faction making an effort to capture the
organization, but, having had one round in
the congressional primaries, they thought that
now, as all nominations had been made, Re-
publicans would bury differences and all work
together for the ticket. They had misplaced
their confidence. There was still blood in
the eyes ofthe Roop Huber Goodwin faction,
and it is not likely to disappear until Col.
McKellip and Postmaster Sharrer are downed
