rose to say simply that If he were to make

what remote part OF the state where he re-
sided it was the ashton to believe tuat the
republican party had great past and a
great future. Its members believed in an
honest dollar. Tue Mckinley bill is the re
suit Of the opinions of wise men. The entrs
country is prospering under 1t, and in time
| it will prove to be the best thing that could
| have been devised. In our State election
the formation of these clubs will aid in roll
ing up large republican majority.
ExSpeaker j. K. Batcheder of Airing
! ton believed that these clubs served to bring
out the republican votes and to make new
republican votes. The majority Of more
than 20 600 for Harrison in 1888 was due
TO organization. lie was glad to see so
many young men present-more than he
had ever seen Mt q similar gathering. They
would go home from this meeting aud
form clubs. The republican party has done
more than anything else to make this coun-
try what it is. Mr.. Batchelder closed with
an eloquent tribute to LincoIns memory.
Rev f. j. Parry of Bratteboro entered
the hall at this point and was promptly
called upon by Col. Hooker. Mir. Parry was
taken by surprise but fully equal to
the occasion. lie drew og his apparently
inexhaustble stock of stories most happily

in what he believed to be for the best interests

citizen should take an active part in the
duties of citizenship He believed that Il
study Of the political parties would tend to
make republican voters. The republican
party has always stood for the elevation of
the working man. Mr.. Parry paid the
most clog uent tribute OF the evening to tho
| Great Emancipator.
Col. hooker referred to State Auditor
Powell as the spared monument OF the last
republican State convention. lie reforre
10 the good work done by the clubs aud
thanked the republican club OF Burliu ton
for it's hospitality.
At this point Col. Hooker said that the
list OF speakers was exhaused, unless there
were others who wished 20 be heard. There
we're no responses and Col Hooker read the
following letters from Senator Proctor and
Col. Franklin Fairbanks with the remark
that the former letter was brought iron,
Washington by Col. Estey as special mes
