Republican Association, of this city,
on last Thursday evening. was a sue
cess in every respect. The Associa-
ton is proud of its record as the only
Republican State Association that
lived through the Cleveland Admins
tration; proud Of the fact that all its
members but two went home to vote
in 1896. and also that its Reunions
have always been so successful, and
this one was no exception to the rule.
The only room for improvement on
former ones was the admission Of
ladies and this did add largely to the
enjoyment this year. About 100
ladies and gentlemen met at the Ma
sonic Temple at an early hour Thurs
day evening and after forming and
renewing acquaintance with each
other assembled in the hall and were
called to order by Mr.. c. NJ. Shinn,
President of the Association. Owing
to the unavoidable absence of Messrs.
Dayton, Miller and Dorr, a change
was made in the programme and Capt.
L. H. Mckee introduced as the first
speaker The Capt. earned his title
in the 1st w. Va. Inf. and his adj
dress proved him loyal con of the
Mountain State. The next number on
the programme was an original poem
on West Virginia, by Mr.. Hughes,
which was most cordially received.
An adjournment was then taken to the
Banquet Hall where an hour was con.
sumed in discussing the elegant menu
which had been provided for the
guests.
Mr. Shinn then called upon Hon.
Jno. F. Lacy, who responded in an
interesting address which was thor
oughly appreciated. Capt B. B.
Dovenor followed with an eloquent
discussion of that grand theme, "Old
Glory" Hon. N. B. Scott was next
called upon and his patriotic remarks
upon "Our Country" were enthusiast
tically received. Senator and Mrs.
Elkins did not arrive until late hour
but the Senator had time to deliver
speech that met with the most hearty
response from all present. After the
speaking the ladies and gentlemen
present were introduced to the receiv-
ing party consisting of Senator S. B.
and Mrs. Elkins, Hon. N. B. and Mrs.
Scott, Col Thos Gould and Mrs. A.
G. Dayton, Hon. B B. Dovener and
Miss Gould, Hon. John F. Lacey and
Miss Courtney and at late hour the
Reunion closed.
The arrangements and reception
were perfect, not single mistake or
complaint of want of attention or con-
sideration being heard.
