political war horses present. A feast OF
reason followed, after champagne and
cigars had been served. To the credit OF
every speaker it must be said that not
an unpleasant word was said concerning
political opponents, local, State or ma
tiopal.
Those who expatiated upon national
themes upheld President Mckinley. Those
who spoke upon local political subjects III
dulged mildly in sophistry. 1t was evident
that there is nothing mean about the
Fremont Club. The members and their

the toast Expansion first went into
the history of the Fremont Club to show
that Fremont was an expansionist, as
evidenced in his work in connection with
his several trips between the Missouri
and the Pacific Ocean. He mpa the
difficulties of communication between

the scenes of commercial activity in
greatly populated cities with their enor-
mouS wealth that have sprung up in the
dreary lands that Fremont traversed. He
went as far back as the little unpleasant
ness that as a nation we experienced with
England some time ago to show that We
were capable of, meeting emergencies as
they arise.
He pictured the blessings Of free gov

sentiment on the part Of even England
in favor Of home government. His allu-
