Republicans Try TO lie serious While
showing How They May Cap
turs the state.

The meeting OF the ltepubHchn ram
theon club In this city has caused no
little comment. Republicans, Demo-
crats and Populists are asking: what
was the object2' and no man has yet
made Il plain. Even the men whose
business It seemed to be to explain |
1.-THE object OF the meeting" were not
very clear in their own minds. Ac-
cording to their explanations, now
ever, the Pantheon club IL a body OF |
patriots pure and simple-Republieans
who have never repeated the sordld
question propounded to the st. Louis
convention to tho most honest Repubh-
can In Texas-"What are we here FOR

this may all be the result Of accident;
but there are wicked and suspicious
persons who viii be ready to say that
