The Republican Alliance was organized
on Sunday morning, August 3, 1884, in the
cellar of the cottage at 1924 Webster street,
then occupied by Allen Knight. It was
the successor to the Union League of 1880.
At the first gathering there were present
the following, who are yet connected with
the CLUB: Harry f. Gordan, Fred s. STRAIT
ton, +. E. Bigham and w. B. Hamilton.
The others at that1 meeting were Allen
knight, A. F. Coffin. G. o. Alexander,
John Lathrop. G. c. Pratt, A. P. Reddlng
and B. F. Stone. There were forty-six
applications for mem bership at meeting
held eight days later, making the charter
membership fifty-seven.
The first president was A. f. Coffin and
the frst commander of the military branch
Colonel W. c. Little. At the bi-ann ual
election in 1886 R. H. Orton was elected as
president. He was succeeded in 1888 by
L. l.. Bromwell, who was reelected in
1890, 1892 and 1894. Colonel Little was re-
elected to succeed himself in his depart
ment all this time and drilled the club
each year. Mr.. Bromwell resigned in 1894
and Victor II. Metcalf as vice president
the term.
This year George P. Morrow was chosen
to the presidency and Varney GaskiIl was
elected to succeed Colonel Little,
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-27

The Alliance. with its globe and natty
uniforms, has been the feature of many
Republican demonstrations both about
the bay and the interior of the State.
| They always travel by special train, and
turn out in great numbers. They have
been to Sacramento and San Jose several
times, and once to Stockton. They turn
out at all big gatherings in this city, Ala
media and Haywards, and have been over
| to San Francisco many times.
! The trip to Los Angeles is the first of
such distance and much interest has
! been shown by all members. The drills
have been especially well attended and as
a result the clubs will make a remarkably
| fine showing when they appear Saturday.
They will leave Oakland mole at o'clock
Friday night on what is known as 1.-THE
Alliance Special and will be in Los Ange-
les for breakfast at 80.
After few hours for rest and sight
seeing the special will be run to Pasadena,
where the club will take part in the meet.
ing to be held there at l o'clock. Follow
ing this the special will be run back to
Los Angeles in time to allow the mem bers
to clean up and get dinner before going
out to take part in the great demonstra-
ton being prepared for Saturday evening.
After the parade the club is to be ban
Quoted. Sunday is to be devoted to
rest and sightseeing. The start home will
be made at o'clock and the train is to
arrive here so as to allow members to
reach San Francisco at S:15 Monday
morning.
This morning Commander Varney W.
Gaskill issued his final orders to his COM
rades. The concluding paragraph fairly
expresses the spirit OF the Alliance. 1t is
as follows:
"Study, understand and ractice all the
above instructions. They are the secrets
of fine military appearance. The people
of Los Angeles and elsewhere expect great
things from the Alliance. We can easily
exceed every expect alton. Let US all CO
operate to make the fame of the Alliance
as crack military corps even greater than
il is
