GRAND RAPIDS. Feb l2.-The four
tecnth annual banquet Of the Lincoln
and the Young Mems Republican Clubs
which was held tonight was a brilliant
event both in the attendance and the
character Of the speakers. Congressman
William Alden Smith. was toastmsster,
and the speakers were Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou, Minister Corea Of Mica.
mgua, Ambassador Nabuco Of Brazil,
Minister Martinez Of Chile, Minister
Quesada Of Cuba and Congressman J.
Adam Bede Of Minnesota. Postmaster.
General Cortelyou, who spoke on 'Lin.
coins influence on the American public
Life began his address with graceful
tribute to the memory Of Mckinley.
Then he said in part,
what an illustration his life afforded
of the truths that early privations need
be no bar TO ultimate success; that
obstacles overcome are the greatest Of
educators; that integrity and honor and
fair dealing are living factors in every
real triumph, in every abiding family;
that faith in the people and devotion
to their interests are essentials to last
ing honor in public life.
For the greater part Of the past
three quarters Of a century, Lncoln's
influence on American public life has
been felt in everincreasing measure.
II was reflected in his contemporaries
and those who have followed him in
the presidency make no coneealment Of
their lasting obligation to him.
In government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, rests our
salvation. Dangers beset US on every
hand when we stray from that ideal.
Every ondition that disturbs us can be
tested by it,
Mr., Cortelyou quoted from the works
OF Lincoln, Mckinley, and Hay.

faith we turn to its living embOdyment

The Republican status Of clatsoT
county Is renewed, revi,ihed, and again
fnnly founded on the basis Of complete
and comprehensive understanding
wrought by the gathering, last night, Of
900 representative members Of ths
party, at the clat.op court honse, and
the spontaneous abnsgation Of every old
sore, every rancouTous feeling and ever,
atom Of Jealousy and mistrust, Tbs
spirit OF the meeting took its savor
from the opening remarks Of temporary
Chairman Harrison Allen, who, taking
Abraham Lincoln for his text, pleaded
indirectly, for the harmony that GER
tainiy ensued. II was appropriate and
apropos, and wonderfully successful In
establishing the best Of feeling for the
evening.
J. A. Eaken, Of this city was chosen
as temporary secretary, and discharged
the duties accurately and with dispatch,
aud received his reward later In the
evening when his work, and Office. was
made permanent.
There was broadcast determination
TO do something definite in the way OF
reorganization, apparent in the pres
en~ and habit Of every man at the
meeting and the logical result Of such
conditions, made the founding OF the
"CT.ATsoP COUNTY REPUBLICAN

and party kindredship, II was plainly
aud happily successful in every single
detail, and there is nothing left for
Republicans In this county 10 do, but
stand pat for the nominees and work
incessantly and understandingly for
the June victory.
The very spontaneity Of the meeting
the utter absence of all concert, the
wide.open opportunity for personal ex
preston, the general aud generous ad
mission Of previous fault and future
loyalty, were factors in the restoration
that followed, and no man left the hall
last night but was conscious Of the new
conditions and the duties incident
thereto.
There were speeches galore, short,
direct, honest, and al with
one idea fore.fonted and imperative,
for the good Of Republicanism in gen.
