big Preparations to
Entertain the Del

AhN oNaAS Afedkh h1 VI NNpubilNdH
Clubs will meet in Owensboro, KY,
May 18th. For the first time in its
history we have the honor Of having
It meet south of Louisville It has
agreed to come to the Banner Demo-
cratic county Of the State to hold its
State Meeting, preparatory for thegreat
campaign that is now before us and
there is but one way for the Republic
ans of this and of the State to show
their appreciation Of this wonderful
gathering, and that is to organize ev>
cry county in this end Of the State in
to Republican clubs and have them
send delegates to Owensboro to rep.
resent their various counties in this
State Convention. One of the reas
ous why the Republican party has
never done any more in this end Of
the State, was because we have never
been organized. The Republicans of
the State in order to enc )urage South
western Kentucky. have agreed to
come to Owensboro with the Couveu-
ton. Louisville wouli htve been
the most central point for all parts Of
the State. But for our benefit and in
order to encourage us, they will come
to the Green River Country, one
thousand strong, the leading Repub.
licans of Eastern Kentucky. Let us
give them a royal welcome, AM there
is no better way to dothat than 10 have
at least one luudred clubs at Owens
boro from this end Of the State to meet
the Republicans from other parts of
the State and show them by our ac.
tions that we propose do our duty in
the coming campaign. There is no
better way Of organizing our county,
our Congressional District, or cur
State through these clubs. Each cub
is entitled to one delegate for every
ten members it has, and there is not
a town in this end Of the State but
what a club Of at least one hundred
members could be organized, and that
would give you ten delegates in the
State Convention Then you can or
ganize club in each voting precinct
and have each club to elect its dele.
gates that will attend the State Con-
ventiou. The Chairman Of each coun~
ty or voting precinct has the right to
organize these clubs. II your Coun-
ty Chairman won't call the meeting.
let some member Of the Committee
call them. Don't one wait for auoth-
er, but let each Republican do his du.
ty. II we fail this time when the
Convention is at our door we need
not expect anything in the future
from this end of the State. We have
candidates that want to be on the
State ticket in the coming contest.
Will we handicap them inlthe first four
Congressional Districtsby allowing
theConvention to die on our h m IS BY
reason Of Western Kentucky refusing
to organize and send delegates to OV-
ensboro May Tst'McKinley. Rec Hl--
rison, Allison have been in vited to be
present and make speeches From our
own State W. o. Bradley. A. f Will
son, Geo. Denny. Juo. w. Yeokees,
Ino. w. Lewis and w. G. Hunter are
all expected to be present, besides
hundreds of smaller men from differ
ent parts OF the State will be real
to speak in beh1lf of the G. o. P.
The local Committee of Oweusboro
have secured the Tabernacle and the
new Temple rheater iorthe ascommo
dation of the immense crowd and
both will be used il necessary. The !
Tabernacle will seat six thousand peo-
pie, and there will be at least four
brass bands on the ground to fur
nish music, one from coviugton, one
from Newport, one from Louisville, |
and Owensboro will have the best
band that was ev er in the city.
The hotel accommodations will be
irst~class. The railroads will give
reduced rates from all parts of the
State to and from Owensboro, and
the largest Convention that ever as.
sembled in the State WILDE in Owens
boro. Republicans, if you fail to at
tend this wonderful gathering you
will regret it the rest Of your life.
Anyone desiring any Information in
the way OF papers, blanks, &C., for
organizing these clubs can secure
them by writing Hon D. II Stine.
