ings and sending delegates TO the con-
Ventions who are friendly TO the can
d:date for that great office, who is your
personal choice?
"2. What right has Mr.. Asp, who the
servile tool and slave of the corporation
owned and controlled by British gold, or
his friends and hoodlum strikers TO pre-
vent US, and especially by such despic-
able means. from giving full and free
expression TO our opinions and choice
upon this great question at this our only
opportunity 10 do so?
50. Con it be that free men in this age
will submit to be so throttled?
a. Can it be true as claimed by the
Asp cohorts that they have an organiza-
ton in each township in this county
that will be early at the primaries and
by the same disreputable means adopted
last night TO break up our Mckinley
meeting, 'swipe the Mckinley forces off
the face of the earth even though they
be five TO one in the majority?
Whereas, it is claimed by the Asp
strikers that this election is essential 10
the interests political of Hon. Dennis I.
Flynn, our delegate, We desire TO char
acterize that claim as false and without
foundation in every particular, and now
inform the public generally that our
club unanimously favors the renOmina
ton and reelection of Flynn, believing
that his jealous, able and interchangeable
advocacy of our rights and interests in
congress is deserving of our hearty rec
ognition and just reward, and we point
with Just pride 10 the list of our MEM
bership.w hich contains the names of
many of F'lynn's closest and most unset
fishly loyal friends. We ask the voters
of the county not to be deceived by this
fraudulent and false pretense of the
Asp strikers.
Whereas, it is publicly charged by
the Asp managers that the present in
terest in the selection of Mckinley dele
gates is not the spontaneous expression
of the choice of the common people
those who earn their living by toll on the
farm, in the factory or the work shop,
but is stimulated wholly in the interest
of one Of the members of our club, Hon.
Cassius NJ. Barnes. That no one who Is
honestly for the selection of McKin-
ley delegates may have any excuse for
not expressing his sentiments at the pri-
naries, we here state for the Informal
ton of the public that the Hon. Cassius
NJ. Barnes has publicly declared at our
club meeting that for the purpose OF
uniting all who believe in the selection
of Mckinley delega ties to the coming
convictions he is willing to forego his
honorable ambition to represent the Re-
publicans of this territory in the St.
Louis convention, and that he would
join shoulder to shoulder with every
friend of Mckinley in selecting dele
gates who will represent the will of the
people, leaving the selection of those
delegates entirely to those who may be
selected at the primaries TO represent
U.S. As a club we pledge ourselves that
Mr.. Barnes will stand by this declara-
ton.
Whereas, it is charged by the Asp
managers that we are in favor of an in
structed delegation to the st. Louis con-
vention. We characterize such charge
to be false in every particular and pos
itively assert that we believe 1t to be
the best interests of the territory that
the delegat ton should go to st. Louis
uninstructed; asserting, however, with
equal positiveness that We believe the
sentiment Of the territory which is
admitted to be five to one in favor or
Mckinley should be represented by
friends instead of its enemies. We as
sert that there are more than thous-
and men in this county who could and
would correctly represent that senti-
ment, and that Mr.. Asp is opposed TO
it. and could not under any circumstan-
ces honestly represent 1t; therefore be 1t
Resolved, by the Logan County Nc
Kinely club. That we urge upon every
voter in this county who favors the
nomination Of William Mckinley as the
standard bearer of the Republican party
by the st. Louis convention to attend
the primary meeting called in the var
ious townships and wards on the 18Th
OF March, 1896, and vote for and elect
delegates to the county convention 10
be held at the city of Guthrie. March 20,
1896. who will correctly and honestly
represent them-men who are trusted
and true and who cannot be bulldozed
or bribed to betraying their trust. And
we hereby pledge ourselves TO use our
best endeavOrs to meet them at the door
Of the convention hall with like dele
cation from the wards of our city
Respectfully submitted TO the con-
sideration OF the Republican voters or
Logan county by order of the Mckinley
club. D. r. WLDMER, President
