The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-16

The Central Republican club is to be
congratulated all around for the grand
success of last nights big demonstra-
tion. The most pessimistic fault finder
could discover but one flaw in the ar
rangements. That was that it did not
provide for One-half Of the people who
came to attend or for ne-tenth of the
people who wanted to attend and who
would have been there had there been
any prospect Of getting in.
1t was the first big rally of the cam
paign and this Mckinley city looked to
1t as the one great occasion on which
it would have an opportunity of giving
concerted vent to its pent-up enthusi
asm and telling the world just where
Scranton stood in the fight. 1t is a
matter of regret, more to the club than
anybody else that this city Is not pro-
vided with big hall, but as everything
else was so hugely successful this regret
can be passed over with an application
of the old "spilt milk" adage.
But il the audience was not COM
mensurate with the occasion in the
matter of quantity it went far towards
making up this deficit by its quality
The city's most representative men and
many ladies who are recognized leaders
i'm the social. religious or charitable
movements, made up goodly part Of
the audience. Then there were the
political clubs, to the number of about
fifteen. embracing within their ranks
the prominent political leaders from
nf hn ait
there also many of the best Democrats
of the city who We're not averse to
hearing exploited the errors of their
ways. or rather the errors of the party
to which they belonged and in which
they felt an uneasiness born of a belief
that they We're in error and willing to
be convinced Of their error. These with
the stalwart rank and file of the party
filled the rockingham so that 1t was
impossible for another one to crowd in
and made it necessary at o'clock to
begin turning people away.
The first evidence of the nights event
was when the Junior Republican club
marched from their quarters on Wash
ingtOn avenue, and headed by Bauer's
band proceeded to escort the speakers
strong and wore for the first time it's
pretty and appropriate uniform of gilt
capes and caps. They were captained
by George A. Mllett. First they pro-
ceeded to William Connell's residence
and after securing Mr.. Connell marched
to the home of Major Everett Warren
where he and the two speakers. Hon.
Charles Emory Smith and d. d. Wood
mansee were met The four mentioned
We're then escorted down Olive, to JEFF
ferson, to Vine. to Washington to
Spruce. to Wyoming, and thence to the
Frothingham.
When the party arrived at the theater
it was already filled to overhowing. On
the stage were seated the vice-presi-
dents, three hundred in all. whose
