The members of the Young Mems
Republican club met last evening to
ratify the action of the Philadelphia
| convention. John f. Gaffey, president
of the club, presided and Congressman
N. d. Sperry was the speaker Of the
evening. The gathering was very en-
thusiastic one and the various speakers
were loudly applauded Theodore Mac
Donald, chairman of the republican
| town committee, when called upon by
President Gaffey said that there was
no question but what President McKin-
ley and Theo. Roosevelt will sweep the
country. He urged upon those present
however the necessity of doing the ut
most in their power to harmonic the
party in this state in order that the re-
publican majority on next November
may be the largest one in the history

Sperry must also be returned as repre-
sentative from this district. The sug-
gestion was warmly applauded.
Prentice w. Chase was called upon as
| the representative of the Union league.
| He said that republicans generally have
| felt for some time that 1t is going to be
| a comparatively easy matter to win the
| next election, and that he was not quite
satisfied that they We're right. 1t would
| be true, he said, If the mass of the peo-
| pie at large looked at the matter as we
| do, but they do not. They must be
shown the merits Of the question and it
is the duty of the young republicans to
do this. Mr.. Chase spoke Of the party
platform and of the issues which are
likely to be brought up by the demo-
cratic party to catch the votes, He said
that the only way to combat this is for
the republicans in every city and town
to organize thoroughly and in arrang-
ing for popular gatherings to engage
speakers who are convincing and inter-
esting in their arguments.
When Representative Sperry was call
ed to the platform he was greeted with
loud applause and three cheers We're
raised for the next congressman. Con-
gresham Sperry eulogized both McKin-
ley and Roosevelt and then in part said
as follows: when you see such a body
Of men as We're assembled at Philadel-
phia unite to man on two candidates
you may reckon that it means some
thing out of the common. Why you
never saw anything like 1t in the his
tory of the country Now it only re-
mains for you to buckle on your armour
and do likewise.
Mr.. Sperry reviewed briefly the acts
of McKinley's administration. rs there
a single thing that Mckinley said he
would do he said that he hasn't
done. Mckinley said he'd stand by the
protection tariff; he's done it. Every
thing that he said he do, he's done. And
tonight we're assembled here to unite
as one on Mckinley, Roosevelt and the
republican platform. My friends, why
was there not a single man in. that con-
vention opposed to a single clause in
that platform? Simply because Biz |
Mckinley has done what he said he'd i!
do. The democrats have much to say
about everything that republicans have
done. But how about the ice trust? in
New ork city? Any member Of the re-
publican party who has been unfaithful
to his trust has the officers of the law
at his heels, The great body Of the re-
publican party stands ready to right |
any wrong that may be done and it is
after all such men with all the power
that is invested in It.
notice that the commission that |
have been sent to the Philippines and !
those other islands that have become |
ours are taking hold of the work in dead
earnest. 1t wont be long before they
have given the inhabitants of those
countries the best government which it |
is possible to give them When the
American flag starts out to protect her
citizens did you ever know her to fail? !
It's our duty to stand by the old flag 1,
because it symbolizes In the fullest
manner those measures which have
been passed at Philadelphia If you do
this you'll stand by William Mckinley
and Theodore Roosevelt"
The meeting closed with three cheers
for Mckinley and Roosevelt
Proceeding the speeehmaking the reg
ular monthly meeting of the club was
held and some routine business dtspos-
ed of. The resignation of e. p Lyon
as assistant secretary was accepted and
Charles B. Mack elected to succeed him.
1t was voted that the club purchase a
large banner, containing the portrait Of
the presidential candidates imme-
iiately and that it be hung across the
street in front of the club house. The
night that the banner is flung to the
breeze a rally will be held in honor Of
the occasion, and well known repubn-
cans will address the gathering
