The Silver Republican league met in
it's new quarters on the third floor of

sas avenue last night.
George H. Evans was initiated into
the organization and W. R. Minert also
became a member. In all ten new
names were added to the roll last night
which President Hulet says has reach
ed 400.
c. E. Purviance raised the question
of whether the league was in any way
bound by the action of the state BIZ
metallic league convention. Our or
ganization is for Republicans only"
said he, and we should not be bound
by an organization made up of men of
all parties
I think it is right to go ahead as
Republicans" said D. c. Tillotson.
However, there may be places in the
country where there are not RepubH-
cans enough to organize Republican
Silver club and then it is all right to
organize club of all parties as BIZ
metallic league
T. NJ. James thought that the Topeka
club is not bound by the Bi-metallic
league in any way.
J. J. Miller thought that the Bi-met-
allie league should not be extended be-
cause it would destroy the results
sougt to be secured.
J. H. Stevens said it was not true

ed by the Bi-metallic league had de-
cided to start a new party.

vtous meeting submitted a report on
