Republican Organization From Utica,
N. Y, With a Record.

The COnkling Unconditional Republican
Club of Utica, n y, is a republican or
ganlzattOn with a record, and because of
this record it was awarded the honor
of being the escort of the Republican
Club of New York city, which has the
right of line in the civic grand division
of the inaugural parade. The club was
founded in 1850 under the name of the
Lewis H. Lawrence Cadets being
named after Lewis II. Lawrence then and
still one Of Utica's most prominent citi-
ZenS and close personal friend of RoS-
coe Conkling. Gen. Grant, accompanied
by Mr.. ConkIing and Mr.. Lawrence, re-
viewed the club in that year, and Gen.
Grant praised them highly for their drill
and appearance, In 1884 the club marched
under the name of the "Plumed knights"
but in 1SSS the year of the death of ROs-
coe Conkling. they adopted the name of
Conkling UnconditionaIs out of c0mpli-
ment to Oneida cOuntys great statesman,
and have since borne that name.
The clubs uniform was black with a
white helmet and plume. The club was
the center Of the attacks of the demo-
cratic press as il was claimed by their
opponents that its founders and members
were followers of james G.. Blaine. the
plumed knight and that they had no
right TO the name OIL COnkl1nS, who was
Blaine's bitter enemy. This criticism
however. was set at rest by a liberal do
nation to the club during the campaign
by Mr. COukling widow, although criti-
CismS of the democratic press still re-
tanned their bitter tone. The first major
of the club was Charles S. Horseburgh of
Utica, \. Y. The club grew and prospered
and increased its military efficiency and
organization during the four years that
followed, and again appeared in hand
some white uniform and white shake in
the Decentralization campaign in 1892
and gained a wide reputation for their
efficiency in drilling, which they have
since maintained.
The Unconditionals marched in 1896 and
1900. not only in Utica, but in nearly
every city of Importance in New York
state. Their uniforms in 1900 were chang
ed to the rough rider" costume.
During the campaign of 1904 the club
was clad in a handsome white duck uni
form with black trimming and a cap
similar to the new regulation army style.
The clubs membership comprises about
800 men, and it's actual marching strength
is 100. The military officers of the club
are: Maj. Frederick w. Kincaid Adjt.
William A. Clark, Capts. Charles S. Hors-
burgh Arthur w. Picllard and Henry ]
Cookinham, jr., and full complement of
line officers.
The civil officers of the club are: Mr.

New York County Republicans.
MADISON SQUARE.
Republicans Embracing Twenty-Fifth
New York.

The twenty-fifth assembly district of New
York county Of which the Madison Square
Republican Club s the organization center,
took part in the inaugural parade as
part of the New York county committee del
egation. 1t was awarded the honor of
escorting the county committee flag. The
flag itself was borne by four cOlored
men from the district, and the rest of the
delegation in line behind it.
This organization is the banner district
in more senses than one. At the last cleo
ton it cast higher percentage Of repuHlI-
can votes than any other assembly district
in New York county. 1t is the Madison
and Union Square district, and covers
considerable portion ri the tendcrlOin. De
spite large buSir ess inroads and the move
ment uptown OF population, II san stands
at the forefront Of republican districts IN
the metropolis because Of It's magnificent
fighting organization.
1t has been somewhat noted for its indie
pendent republiCaniSm. Its republican VOt-
crs think and act as they think. 1t is just
the kind of a district one would have eX
pected Theodore Roosevelt to have been
born in. He was born in it, and he lived in
1t until he was fifteen years of age. He
still retains a strong interest in the district
and many OF its workers are well known 10
him.
The President of the Madison Square Re
publican CIuD IS Bronson Winthrop, law
partner of eX-Secrctary Root. The leader
Of the district, and the person who will be
in command Of the organization during its
stay in Washington, is Herbert Parsons
who was elected representative from the
thirteenth congressional district of which
the assembly district forms part at the re-
cent election The assembly district is now

The company of anthracite miners from
Wilkesbarre, Pa, which is here to par
ticipate in the Inauguration, was organ
lied especially for the occasion by Mr..
Louis n. Hammerling state printer of
Pennsylvania. and an active republican.
When the call was sent out for civic organi-
cations to participate IL the inaugural pa
rade, Mr.. Hammerling thought it would be
a good idea to include a company of miners
in their overalls. with their torca caps and
other para phenalia of their trade, as a
compliment to President Roosevelt Their
participation means two things: First, that
its members are republicans and second.
that they are DESTROYS of honor ng the
man who settled the strike This latter
desire is evidenced by the banner which the
miners carry, with these words inscribed
thereon. The members of the organiza-
ton come TO Washington IN a special car
are quartered aboard tie car during their
stay in the city and will return as soon as
the festivities are over.
