REPUBLICANS ARE FULL OF GINGER.
Several Very Lively Caucuses Last
Evening.
Members of the Party Evidently TAX
ing a Deep Interest in the
Convention.

Last night was one of Republican
caucuses, and if anyone had doubt as TO
whether or not the Republicans of this
city were alive. he need only to have
been present either at the new Pavilion
or Shears Hall at Twentieth and
streets to have had his doubt dispelled.
There was ginger enough developed to
supply the campaign with spice enough
to suit the most enthusiastic.
These were not like ordinary Republi-
can caucuses. but had very strong flavor
Of Democratic seasoning. There was
more noise and enthusiasm to the square
inch of ballroom than was ever before
witnessed at Republican caucuses in this
city.
At one time at the new Pavilion it
looked as if there would be general riot,
but the contending factions finally dl-
vided and each put up ticket to be voted
at to-day's primary. There were several
''scraps" before the division took place,
but nobody was seriously hurt. The con-
test appeared to be between the rival fac
tions of f. d. Ryan and Lincoln White,
each of whom aspires to the nomination
Tor District Attorney.

thought 1t would be in order for some of

TO the younger ones.
He then gave synopsis of the import
ant measures inaugurated by the Repub-
lican party, and contrasted them with
what had been done by the Democratic
party. There was no hope, he said. for
them or their children unless they got
back again under the Republican party.

they should all be here next Thursday
night to put down their names.
G. Z. Adams said it seemed to him that
one thing was always forgotten when the
subject of tariff was discussed. The
Government must be supported by i'm
ports on foreign goods. He thought there
was no need OF an income tax, and that
the issue of the fifty millions OF bonds
was unnecessary. The Republican party
had extinguished great part of the ma
tional debt through the tariff. Free trade
had caused distress and stagnation OF bus
mess.
Jud G. Brusie was called on and said it
was never too early to prepare for a battle
that must be won or see the slavery of
every laboring man in the United States
He said it was all owing TO the election
and administration of Grover Cleveland

II times are TO be better, it must be
through the election OF the Republican
party TO power again.
