MR.. WOLF PLAYS PROPHET
Tells Union Republicans That Sue
cess Is Assured.
Col. John A. Joyce the Star Speaker
ut the Regular Meeting of
the Club.

Hon. Simon Wolf said last night at a
rousing meeting OF the Onion Republican
Clue at Willard Hall that as he was q de-
scendant OF a long line of ancestors who
were prophets, he could safely presume to
predict the election of Mckinley aud Ho-
bart.
Mr.. Wolf also made point which was
very acceptable to the Republicans in
sight by stating that poll of the visiting
underwriters was made yesterday, which
poll resulted: Mckinley, l41; Bryan, 10.
Palmer, 3. The meeting was one through
out OF intense enthusiasm. Fifteen new
members were elected.
Speeches were made by Hon. John R.
Lynch, ex-Consressman IRON Mississippi;
Dr. Elterlch, and Col. John A. Joyce,
political poet laureate. Mr.. Lynch dealt
Interestingly with the prospect OF smash
ing up OF the solid South. Dr. Elterich
spoke of the fidelity of the German to
American institutions and TO his casting
his lot with the sound money cause as he
did with the iHtesrity y of the Union in Sc =,
and touched on the Bisma rex letter de
the Republican committee. Mr.. Vol in
this connection raised big storm cr ap-
plause by saying that he was not i'll favor
OF the interference of any foreign prince
or rotentate In American politics.
Col Joyce was, however, unanimously y
agreed to have been the star speaker OF
the evening. He was received with much
applause, which was evidently genuine.
