Republican vote shows a falling off as
compared with that for Governor
Black, in 1896 of about IA per cent. In
the municipality of New York the old
time Democratic majority was APP
proximated Van Wyck's vote being
about $4,000 greater than that of the
Republican candidate. This latter re-
suit was helped in some measure by
the result in the borough of Brooklyn
(Kings county,, which in 1896 gave
Black a plurality of 1852, but yes
terday gave Democratic plurality of
about 1880. Brooklyn is the home Of
Judge Van Wyck.
The returns from many counties up
the state are incomplete, and in some
cases are missing altogether. The in
dications being computations upon the
figures at hand. point to a Republican
plurality in the counties above Harlem
of about 100000 to offset which the
Democrats can produce only the $4,000
plurality of greater New York

it's advocates claimed for it, the fact remains that thousands of mortgages in every State in the Union are being discharged, and even though that may be due in part to a shortage of crops in foreign lands while our own fruit ful fields laugh in abundance a kind providence has seen fit to bring this about during a Republican administra- tion, and our party will be the bene- ficiary of this benevolent action of the Almighty. Of course the currency question is still an open one, but our party is certainly in no worse position with reference thereto than it was one year ago.
 The only danger which has threat ened us at any time upon that issue was the defection of the sound mony Democrats, or rather their possible re- turn to their own party, but the intro- duction and passage in the Senate of the Teller resolution has emphasized the fact that the issues of the last cam paign are not dead, and every friend of sound money will see the necessity for the same degree of vigilance that was required at that time to maintain the honor of the nation. Thus we have every reason to expect the continued cooperation of all friends of sound money until this vexatious problem
 
 in some way. Upon other national ques- tions, the Democratic conventions throughout the different States have indorsed and declared their adherence to the principles and declarations of the Chicago platform, and upon these issues the people one year ago emphat- ically declared their opposition to it's revolutionary statements.
 There are some things however, which Republicans must do. They must act harmoniously, adopt a plat form fair to all classes, nominate good men for office, renounce and denounce all bosses, faithfully discharge their political duties as citizens, adhere to their patriotism and respect for Gov ernment in all it's branches, and organ ize thoroughly and effectively for the work of the campaign. These things being done, I am unable to see any sufficient reason why we should fear the failure of the Republican party at the next election, and l confidently predict for our entire ticket, from Gov ernor to Constable, most glorious and triumphant victory next November,

Fellow Republicans-In assuming this too great honor, it is not my pur- pose to presume upon your patience with any extended remarks. It is i'm possible, however, to resist the tempta- tiOn to express in some slight degree the intense feeling of qualification that the unquestiOned success of this aus picious occasion must produce in the breast of every one present. One and all, bid you welcome, and may this be genuine Republican love feast.
 It was the purpose of the Young Mems Republican League, in giving this banquet, not only to honor the name of that exalted character whose memory, like an inspiration, hovers over us tonight, but also to bring to- gether here a large concourse of faith full Republicans that we might be moved to sink all party differences, clasp each others hands, and pledge ourselves anew to those great principles of which the Republican party has ever been the protector and the preserver. I can say that we have succeeded be- yond our most sanguine expectations. Never before have the Republicans of this city either planned or executed so great an undertaking. It is without precedent, and will probably remain without a rival until the league gives its next banquet at the beginning of the next Presidential campaign two years hence.
 T say the next banquet, for the Young Mems Republican League is here to stay. We are ready and will ing to fight the battles of our party, for we know that when we are fighting the battles of our party we are fight ing the battles of our country. This is the opening gun of the fourth cam paign in which the league has taken an active and aggressive part. We are a permanent institution, and duly ac- credited part of the State League and of the National Republican League We were represented at the last two National League conventions. and will participate in the State League Con- vention this spring and send delegates

The Young Mems Republican League of Los Angeles is the pioneer organi- zation of this city having been formed in 1892. It's members are always in the front of the fight, bold, aggressive and never discouraged by reverses.
 The league was organized in Febru- ary, 1892, with A. W. Kinney presi- dent, H. P. Platt secretary and w. F. Hemming treasurer. It's first head quarters were on West Second street. This was in the Harrison Cleveland campaign, and the league, being uniformed organization and the first composed of young men in this city, it at once took an active part in advanc- ing the welfare of the party, visiting during the fall Pasadena, Wilmington, Santa Monica and other cities. This activity so stirred up the opposition that party of "unknowns" entered the leagues headquarters and smashed it's furniture and fixtures.
 However, the organization continued to prosper and it's efforts were indorsed by the County Convention. During this campaign the club assisted in en- tertaining the drill corps of the Union League Club of San Francisco.
 The league reorganized in the Estee- Budd campaign with 400 members. George Francis was elected secretary and Edward Booth treasurer The headquarters were located on South Spring street. During this year many organizers and speakers were sent to nefghboring places to form auxiliary clubs. This work was recognized by the county convention in a fitting man. ner. The county platform was first established in 1894, and the Young Mems League contributed much to its welfare. Commendatory letters were re- ceived from Mr. Estee and State Chairman D. M. Burns.
 In 1896 President Kinney and Secre- tary Francis were reelected, F. Down. ing being made treasurer and s. G. Brown vice-president. The campaign was formally opened on March by the first annual banquet of the league. This was a memorable occasion. Let ters were read from Thomas Reed, J. s. Clarkson, MT. Quay and others high in the councils of the party. Hon. Wil- liam Mckinley wrote: Ever since the organization of the league movement I have recognized it as a factor in shaping the policy and destinies of our party. It affords me pleasure to send my best wishes for the success of your banquet and to express to you my con- fidence that the great principles of the

That problem has been solved, and so largely in favor of Cal ifornia and her particular interests that he would be bold free trader indeed who would advocate any modi- fication of the schedules affecting our industrial interests. but should such modification be attempted by the Dem ocratic party it would rebound largely to the benefit of the Republican ticket Whether or not the Dingley bill has restored the degree of prosperity which

 The League opened up elegant quar- ters in the Stowell block, and its 700 members immediately got to work. Strong resolutions were adopted favor ing San Francisco as the city for hold ing the National Republican Conven- tion, and these were sent to the mem- bers of the National Committee.
 At its annual election in 1897 the league elected the following officers: President, Luther G. Brown first vice president, George B. Mclaughlin; sec- ond ce-president, w. M Hiatt; third president, F. P. Frost; treasurer, Alexander Caldwell; secretary, George Francis; assistant secretary, o. R. Staples.
 In the coming battle of '98 the Young Mems Republican League will be found in the thickest of the fray and with it's banners well toward the front. It will not attempt, as an organization, to bring out candidates or influence con- ventions, but when the nominations are made It's members will support them Loyalty until the polls are closed on the first Tuesday in November.
 The members of the executive com naittee for 1898 are. P. J. Kennedy, T. Hughes. F. Brakesuhler, G. B. Me- Laughlin, A. Caldwell, L. R. Garrett, s. Mcclure, F. P. Frost, c. c. Bonnell, c. R.

 The Young Mems League is repre- sentative of the hope. the vitality and aspirations of the Republican party, and as Hon. Charles Emory Smith ex- pressed it: 'It is the flower of the great political force which. as crea- tive and constructive organization will rank in history with the party of Chat ham and the younger Pitt, and with the party of Washington, Hamilton and Marshall"
