Mems Republican Club of the Forty-sec-

Turn Verein Hall, the object being to per-
feet a strong organization so as to pre-
sent a solid front on election day in the
interest of Henry I. Gage, and also to
father the candidacy of ]. J. Mccarthy
for Assenblyrnan from the Forty-second
District The meeting was called to order
by r. S. Glaze, who. after stating the OBJ
ject of the meeting, invited the members
to present names for their consideration
to act as officers of the club during the
campaign. The following were elected:
r. s. Glaze, president; Thomas Rothen-
berger, vice president; Henry Keeling, re-
cording secretary; Charles Birdsall. SER
peant-at-arms The following executive
Committee was appointed by the chair:
peter Iearch, j. Gilbert, Charles Jami-
son, John Flaherty and ]. I. Harding.
Mr. Mccarthy, in an address, advised the
members to proffer their services to the
state Central Committee to act as watch
ers during the count on the evening of
election day and to stay at their post of
duty until the last ticket was counted and
recorded, so as to prevent a repetition of
that political treachery that took place in
some of the districts during the last gu
bernatorial contest.

ties to come to a speedy conclusion SO ds
to avoid possible accident. Inc dlrectoiS
of the club were nonpmsed at the orders
