The Republicans of this city opened
the campaign last Thursday evening by
raising handsome banner and by mass
meeting at Holcombe Hall.
AT 7.45 the banner was swung out at
the corner of Bridge and Union streets
amidst the glare of red fire and the music
OF the Liberty Band, great crowd being
present. 1t has on it life-like portraits of
Mckinley and Hobart, separated by the
American eagle and shield, while on the
right ard left side of the centre piece are
paintings OF manufactures, symboliziug
protection. The banner was painted by
Mr.. Thos. Van Camp of this city, and it
is rare to find upon banner such artistic
work. The banner is hard to beat for
beauty, and the Club is additionally proud
OF it because it was produced by home
talent. Mr.. Pilney made short address
after the banner was put out.
AT $50 p. NJ. large mass meeting was
held at Holcombe Hall, and the crowd
was so great that numbers failed to gain
admission. II. B. Reading, Esq, presi-
dent Of the club, called the meeting to or
der and by direction of the Executive
Committee, named Chas. A. Skillman,
ESQ.,, for chairman of the meeting.
Messrs. Vim. Lauer, VIM. Ii. Gandey,
W. F. Hayhrrst, Frank Barkley, ]. f.
Mangan and A. G. Gandey acted as
vice presidents, and b. II. Joiner, secre-
tary.
Mr.. Sklllman introduced Hon. Mahlon
PitneY in an appropriate address, and Mr..
Pitney was enthusiastically received. He
spoke for over an hour and held the earn
est attention of his auditors, while he
spoke forcefully, logically and eloquently
upon the political questions of this cam
pagn. 1t was a speech that is unanswer-
able, and had an excellent effect upon oil
voters who want TO know the truth.
At the close of the meeting, a reception
was held at the Lambertville House and
large numbers of our citizens, both Dem
ocrats and Republicans, called upon him.
