General James II. Wilson, chairman OF
the Republican State Central committee
addressed the Republican First Voters
club last evening From Repub
lican standpoint his exposition
of the issues of the campaign

and rebellion. He traced the leniage OF
the Republican party back to the Con
tinental party, which established Ameri
can union and independence. He denied
Senator Grays statement that trade is O
solidarity, and said it was diverse and
various. In a superficial argument he
disposed of the Democratic platform
plank by plank, and closed by urging tn,
members OF the club to get others tC
join with them in electing Harrison anc
Reid.
After he had concluded his speech h,
was accorded three cheers.

music, scenery, costumes, speci tiles

curtain, TO remind an audience of its
past, except its title.

radical departure from the usual manage
