Last night there was a largely at.
tended and enthusiastic meeting OF The
Ohio County D. Fl. Taylor Club, nj
Egerter hall, at which the most inter-
esting feature was speeches by Messrs,
W. H; C. Curtis. Of West Liberty, and
A. G. Fickeison. The latter spoke In
behalf OF the candidacy Of Attorney R.
NJ. Addleman, for the criminal court
judgeship nomination, and Mr.. Curtis'a
speech was along the line that there Is
no easy victory In sight this fall, and
that hard work and plenty Of It Is need
ed to bring victory to the Republican
banner. Said Mr.. Curtis. In the course
Of his remarks: u
1T is useless for me to say I'm glad
to be with you tonight. 'Tis true !
have been member OF; this club and /
believe an officer too. ever since its or
ganization, but this is the first time I
have. ever had the pleasure OF meeting
its members. confess, that I have
been derilect in duty; beg pardon and
promise to do better In the future. You
have a beautiful hall in which to as
sembie; you are centrally located; you
have your refreshments, in fact. It
seems to me, that you have everything
that could be desired. But batter than
all these things, your club bears the
name OF n man who is gentleman in
every sense Of the word. A man Of
marked worth and ability, u man who
has been n success In his profession and
business and one who will be a bowling
success In politics this fall, Dr.. D. H.
Taylor, next sheriff OF the county OF
Ohio.
"All OF our ticket that has been nom
mated Is A No. J.. in every particular,
from the J. P's OF Clay district up to
that grand old statesman, patriot, phil
anthroplst and President, William Nc
kinley. our second Abraham Lincoln.
But this, my friends. is not time sor
long wlnded political speeches; we prom
? Use you those in the near future. This
Is the time for action. active, energetic
work. II we expect to win out, with
hands down In the coming campaign,
we deceive ourselves. We have. the
honor to belong to that grand old party
of action, whose very breath Is that OF
progress; whose speech is the language
OF the laboring classes Of this nation;
whose dialect is the rhetoric Of thu
home, the farm. the factory, and the
counting room. We belong to that par
ty in whose ranks are found the real,
the thinking. moving vital elements of
American life.
What. gentlemen, is the duty Of the
hour? IT'S for each and every one OF
US. to throw of our coats, roll up our
sleeves, put our shoulders to the grand
old Republican car, and roll her UP the
political incline, so that when she IL
kissed by the mornings sun on Novem-
Der It'll, we may behold her resting In
all her pristine beauty and grandeur on
the summit OF Success" (Cheers.)
The club transacted routine business.
The finance committee reported pro.
gress: the lease for the hall was ac-
copied. and the offer OF the Whitehead
& Hoag Company to furnish club
badges was referred to the finance com.
