The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-21


the membership of the Lackawanna
Republican club at last nights meet
ing, making the total nearly rs. Before
| the campaign closes 1t Is expected that
25 more will be enrolled, and each man
| in the club Is an earnest worker for
the success of the ticket in this crisis.
AS DR.. w. r. Conners, one of the men,
bers, put it:
1T is to the best interests of the
workingmen to have this election car
| ried by the Republican ticket. l cannot
see how this country could be benefited
by turning 1t over to an anarchistic
element, that has no regard for the
established laws and customs. but pro-
poses to change everything. I think
| the Republican party will be successful
but 1t ought to be by such an over
| whelming majority that it will be n re-
| buke that will have it's effect and not
be easily forgotten
The invitation to parade on next
Tuesday night when all the clubs in
the county will turn out, was accepted,
| and after some discussion 1t was de-
cided to hold special meeting next
Saturday night to enroll those who may
| be proposed, and to make other ar
rangements that may be required to
attend the parade. The special meet
| ing was at the suggestion of Thomas
j.. Moore on account of the fact that
the regular weekly meeting night will
, coincide with the date of the parade.
| Secretary James McGuinneSS will nOtt-
| fy all the members, so that those who
We're absent last night will understand.
ON Friday evening, Oct. 30. the club
will hold it's next regular meeting, and
the secretary will present an invitation
| to William Connell to be present. A
committee consisting of Senator j. &.
| Vaughan. president of the club, DR..
Corners and Michael McQueeney will
secure two or three speakers to address
| the meeting. One of the members said
he would like to hear Major Everett
| Warren and all agreed that they would
| like to. too.
DIR. COnnerS was chosen vice presi-
| dent to succeed Hon. Y. V. Powderly,
| and Senator Vaughan called upon some
| of the members for remarks. Thomas
| Hogan, of Bellevue, predicted that Nc
| Kinley will have 233 votes in the cleo
toral college and Bryan PA. He said
that from his observations of the way
| things are going the national election
will not be won by a sweeping major
ity, but he felt safe in saying that
Mckinley will carry the day. William
COnnell, he said, will carry Lackawan-
|
and he prophesied the election Of Hon.
John r. Farr in the First legislative
district by rousing majority.
| In the rooms of the Central Repub-
lican club are number of curios in
the shape of returns of elections held
in the 40's, SOS and COS and posters
calling political mass meetings during
the same period. They are the prop
erty of George l.. Dickson. Two of the
interesting posters are for meetings
held during the Fremont presidential
campaign of forty years ago are as
follows:
| Free speech, free press, free Kan
sas! A mass meeting of all those fa-
vOrable to the election of Fremont and
| Dayton will be held at Carbondale, on
