Thus in few words is told the story
of the East Side Republican Associa-
tion's meeting ut A ugustine Pier Thurs
day AFTERNOON. 1t was meeting to
ratify Mckinley and Roosevelt, and it
did. IL came pretty close to ratifying
MIR. Addicks, for II two things more
than Others were patent they we're the
absences OF prominent Regular Republic
cans and the presence Of prominent
Union Republicans. The East Side
Republican Association is theoretically
made up Of both factions, but practi-
cally Is Regular Republican. Such, it
is said, was the committee of arrange
ments. And it was, no small dis
appointment to thosY in charge when
they observed how few Of the leaders
among the Regulars were in the party
which boarded the steamer Twilight at
New Castle in the morning. Today
these leaders may regret that they did
not show, themselves, for in their absence
the Addiossites might have captured
the meeting.
The occasion was In no wise strong
as to numbers, for only about 235 rer.
sons boarded the Twilight, and those
who went to Augustine Park by other
ways would scarcely carry the number
to tn 300 mark. Counting picnickors
and those directly interested in The
meeting there were Just about 800
listeners.
All the outside speakers who had
been advertised .Brosius of Pennsyl-
yania, Lands Of Indiana, McComas OF
Maryland and Warwick Of Philadelphia
