ally to perfect more complete organi-
zatlon of Stutsman county republicans
for campaign work, proved a great sue
cess. The large attendance, the inspir.
ing music, the enthusiastic speeches, and
the presence of numerous ladies IN the
audience, we're all very gratifying to the
committee in charge of the demopstra-
tion-who were limited to a very short
time in which to make arrangements for
the meeting.
Electric lights we're put in the hall
Monday, by the Messrs. Lloyds, and
the room had been handsomely draped
with flags for the occasion. The plat
form was erected at the east end of the
building, and was covered with red,
white and blue bunting. A large picture
of President Harrison looked down from
the wall draped in the national colors
The Jamestown band was IN attendance,
and after rendering several selections on
the street, accompanied with frequent
salutes fred by Capt. Gleason's battery,
the boys took seats in the hall directly
in front of the platform, and treated the
audience to popular music between the
addresses. This feature of the program
was highly appreciated, while Gleason's
ever booming cannon was a gentle
reminder that jamestown republicans
were getting in line for the coming fight.
President Branch of the Stutsman
county Republican club, presided over
the meeting, IN his usual atfable manner.
The first speaker introduced was Hon.
Alfred Dickey, who was heartily received,
and who made some good points in his
short address. He dwelt chiefly upon
the history of the party, which he said
was the history of the nation itself for
the past thirty years. F. B. Fancher
came next, and while be was still suffer-
ing from that "tired feeling" incident to
carrying Blaine plume for several days
at Minneapolis, he gave the crowd
an eloquent speech, which called out
generous applause. Superintendent
Wadsworth followed Mr.. Fancher.
He spoke of the excellence of Harrison's
administration, of it's strength with the
business men of the country of all par
ties, and closed by an allusion to the
distinguished services of that talented
journalist, Whltelaw Reid. Judge Bald
win said he was one Of the original
Harrison men, and paid an eloquent
tribute to the craftsmanship and sturdy
Americanism of the great leader who had
beaten Cleveland four years ago and
whose public and private life was the
best guarantee that he would beat him
or any other democrat again. His
reference to General Harrison's friend
ship for Dakota territory was greeted
with hearty applause. E. NJ. Sanford
was called on and responded with rat
Ting speech which kept the audience
thoroughly good natured. His account
of Sparks administration of the land
office provoked much amusement, and
his reasons why farmer should be a
republican we're received with cheers. O..
A. Boynton closed the speech making IN
a happy and effective vein. He compi-
mented the party upon its choice of a
candidate for president, man whose
record challenged successful criticism
and whose qualities of mind and heart
endeared him to all the people. He
praised Mckinley and clinched his argu-
ment with "2O pounds of granulated
sugar for dollar" Mr.. Boynton told a
story for the benefit of the democrats
present, and wound up by exhorting
every republican to vote for the nomi-
nees of the party, national, state and
county.
The meeting closed with three rousing
cheers for Harrison and Reid. After
wards thirty-eight new names were en-
rolled as members Of the club.
