ROUNG NEWS REPUBLI-
CAN CLUB.

In response to the call published in the
WATCBMAN last week, which had previously
been sent to about 800 young republicans of
the city, two hundred or more gathered at
Armory Hall, last Wednesday evening, for
the purpose o. organizing Young Mems
Republican Club. Fred A. Rowland called
the meeting to order, and temporary or
ganization was effected by the election of j.
A. DeBoer chairman and K. A. Mutt secre-
tary. Mr.. DeBoer succinctly stated the OBJ
ject OF the meeting, and, on invitation,
Alfred e. Watson OF Hartford and f. @,
Smith of st. Albans made some pertinent
and practical suggestions az to the forma-
ton of club. Ga motion, the chair ap.
pointed a committee of three, composed Of
+. A. Rowland, K. ID. Blackwell and Mar
shall Wood, to for nulate a constitution for
the gudan 20 OF the proposed cub. This
committee retired for short time and re-.
ported constitution similar to that govern
ing the State Young Mems Republican
Club, published last week. The report of
this committee was accepted and the con-
stitution reported was adopted as a whole.
A permanent org anization was then effected
by the election of j A DeBoer, president;
Fred A. Rowland vice. presidents e. A.
Mutt. secretary; j. G. Brown. treasurer.
The constitution provides for an executive
committee composed of the president lex
officio), three members-at-large and one
from each ward in the city. On motion, the
posed of j. q. Blown, A. W. Ferrin, G.
Def Bancroft, H. 9. Gleason aud 7. J.

land, j. G. Brown, j. M Boutwell,, L III
Bixby, A. G. Eaton, q. P. Pitkin, W. w

bans, A. e. Watson of Hartford, F. N
Whitney of Mortified, and G. G. Fitts
Of Brattleboro, members of the stat,
executive committee, who we're presen
at the request of President G. M Pow
ers. Every thing connected with this o.
ganizatiOn at the capital of Young Mems
Republican Club was characterized by en-
thusiasm. The ringing speech of President
| DeBoer, on taking the chair as president o.
the club, the one hundred and more sigma
lures that have already been secured to the
constitution, and the intelligent, business
like manner in which the executive ant
special committees have taken hold of tht
work assigned to them, give assurance no
ouly that the state rally, to be held at Mont
pelier on February IL, will eclipse even tn,
brilliant success at Burlington last year
but also that during the coming campaign
the Young Mems Republican Club Of Mont
pelier will be heard from, and will do it,
full share in assisting in rolling up an old
time majority in Vermont next fall. TIL,
constitution adopted by the Montpelier
club was left with Mr.. Mutt, the secretary
and young republicans who have not al
ready done so are cordially invited to cal
at the WATcHMAN office and sign it, thereby
becoming members of the club.
