OFFICIALS NOT SURPRISED.

The great influx of foreigners which came in
yesterday was not such matter of surprise,
however, to the Barge Office officials Since the
beginning of this month the tide of immigration
has been steadily increasing. 1t was known
some time ago. 1t said at the Office yes
terday. that the month of May would witness
an npouring of foreigners unprecedented in the
annals of the Immigration Department.
1t is the further opinion of the Department
that the tide which has thus set in will increasee
rather than decrease. This they base on the
statistics for this month. which are as follows:

Rest CITY Democratic Organizations

ton Friday.
The Young Mems Democratic Club

building, at 1880. The special COM
mittee is to report on the arrangements

EFFORTS TO MISLEAD
The Public Concerning Membership
of the Bryan Escort Club.

The Public Concerning Membership
of the Bryan Escort Club.
An evening paper yesterday pub
lished an article which IS evidently in
tended to convey the impression that
the Bryan Escort Club is composed al
most exclusively of knights of ST.
George. Members of several Repub-
lfcan clubs have circulated reports OF
the same character, the animus OF
which is apparent to everybody. The
reports are inspired in the latter case
by jealousy pure and simple.
In the first place the name of the
organization is not Bryan Cadets. There
is no imitation of the Elkins Cadets
uniform, as the evening paper alleges.
The uniform adopted Is a happy idea
of those who were instrumental in
organizing the club, since it IS the
fatigue uniform of both the Knights
of St. George and the Knights OF
Pythias.
As to membership in the club, thera
are thirty Knights OF Pythias, thirty
five Knights of St. George, two mem
bers of the National Guard and five ex-
Spanish-American war soldiers, in
cluded in the seventy-five members OF
the club.
The evening papers assertion that
the Bryan Club is working to make
political converts of the knights OF
st. George, and that the Elkins Cadets
are making similar efforts with the
Knights of Pythias, is apparently a
studied effort to stir UP religious differ
ences. This has been avoided in the
Bryan Club, which is political march
ing club, pure and simple. 1t is not
true, as charged, that the c. H. S. drum
corps has been secured. An independ-
ent drum corps is being organized
The publication referred to would
have occasioned little surprise if it had
been made by the Intelligencer, but the
evening paper is avowedly independent
in politics.

Club and the Young Mems Democratic
Club have accepted and have completed
arrangements for going. While moth
ing had been received from the other
Wheeling clubs last night. 1t is con-

represented.
Bellaire, Bridgeport and Tiltonville

one hundred men each, and in the
neighborhood of two hundred horse
men are certain.

curing legislation in the interests OF

THE third great issue is that Of the
publication of the civil service. We,
as a people, are being most deeply in
jured in reputation and in character
because our government, national and
State and municipal, is so largely car
ried on by those who are in it for the
spoils and who are neither morally nor
by their learning fitted to govern.
Upon the fourth issue the support
ers of the present administration, the
majority of them rather than the Pres
ident himself, are upon the right side.
In my judgment, the last of these
four issues is the most distinctively
moral, and the least within the power
of the government to prevent from
setting itself right"
