IN TOWN.
Both Parties Preparing to Make
the Fight Lively.
BRUNlM AND j. B. ROBINSON
They Will Address a Mass Meeting in
Robbins Opera House Tonight.
New Republican Club.

The local political field IS now in a
pretty lively state, aud from now untu
election day vigorous work will be carried
on in all quarters. The committee that is
making arrangements for the reception of
Hon. Charles ~ Brumm and Hon. John
B. Robinson tonight held another meet
ing last night aud the subcommittee re-
ported they had met with excellent finan-
cial encouragement.
1t is well that the arrangements for
the parade tonight were not based on an
elaborate scale, as the disagreea BILE
weather would have caused much waste
of time and money. The preparations
are Of such character that the visitors
will be received by a becoming escort.
The main feature will be the meeting in
Robbins opera house, which will no
doubt attract a large gathering, as Mr.
Robinson is exceedingly popular with the
people and an address by Mr.. Brumm has
been most ardently wished for by the
working people of this section.
A new Republican organization is in
the field and promises to be very inAuen-
tial in future campaigns. 1t has been in
a course of quiet formation for several
weeks and to morrow night it will come
forth fully organized. One hundred and
three names have already been placed
upon the roll and the members have been
selected from the most prominent, inAu-
ential and respectable men of the town
This club will be entirely different to any
which has existed In the town, and when
the membership is made known it will be
seen at glance that the material selected
Is of the kind which will have influence.
1t will be a permanent organization, in
dependent in the pursuit Of its way, but
devoted TO the interests ofthe Republican
party in national, state county and local
affairs. Promiscuous admissions to mem
bership will not be allowed and any mem
Der who may attempt to use the organi-
zation to further personal aims will
have the riot act read to him.
The officers of the club, according
to the assurances given, will be men who
have Joined the organization for the inter
ests of Republican principles, and not as
seekers of notoriety or a foundation for
aspirations. Among the gentlemen who
have been active in the formation of the
club are Messfs. Daniel Ogden, J. }. Price,
Moses Owens and William r. Trezise, A
meeting will be held in Beddalps hall t.
morrow evening and tits quite likely that
the hall will become the permanent head
quarters of the club.
There is reason to believe that there is
not near as much harmony in the local
Democratic ranks as some people suppose.
! Indeed, it is stated upon excellent author,
| ity that one of the best organized and
most influential organizations OF young
Democrats In the town is just boiling over
with anxiety to show that they do not
propose to be caressed and pettsd at criti
cal moments and cast aside at other times
when they should be recognized 1t is
said that in one of the recent campaigns
this organization worked like beavers foi
the Democratic ticket and it was through
t is work that victory was gained
bit when the club stepped forward
at time when it had right to expect
recognition it met with disappointment
or rather braZen repudiation of promises
At the recent Democratic meeting held tt
organize committee to make prepara
ons for the reception of Governor Patti
son, Candidate Singerly and party som,
of the young men referred to were selected
as members of the escort of honor. Sew
eral of these young men have openly de
made without authority; that they die
not attend the meeting, were not consulted
in connection with it, and they do no
propose to be pushed forward and pulled
back whenever certain leaders see fit t
manipulate the wires There may b,
some fun yet.
