Robert W. HnMkeswOrth, T~Oastnaster.
Republican Club of East Orange at The
Woman's Club House, East Orange
Governor Fort was the principal speak
err and he stuck wholly to the Lincoln
topic. The Rev. DR.. Lyman Whitney
Allen, pastor of the South Park Pres
byterian Church, this city, and tie Rev.
DIR. Winfield Scott, of Brooklyn, also
spoke. Robert w. Hawkesworth of
East Orange was toastmaster.
Governor Fort reviewed the m~artyred
Presidents life, stating that it was
phenomenal and without a parallel IN
history.
"He was largely a man of one pur-
pose, not to say n idea" said he.
"He was somewhat of a Cromwell with
out his hatreds.
"The great men in life have be IN
the men of a single purpose. Abraham
Lincoln was ambitious. He never 1e-
MED it. He always asserted +. His
purpose in life was POLITICAL. He wished
to serve the State, How he came by
that desire is past finding out. 1t vas
undoubtedly intuitive.
"Lincoln was in every respect, on
sidering his time and the then methods,
an ideal politician, for he was a potiti-
clan in the truest and best sense If
thai word. He was an intense parti-
san, yet his country was always first
and his party second.
pTT;. t.1TinF a., tho t,npTla was gafrfI-
fed by their devotion to him. His pur-
poses were all noble and ~elevating.
His heart bled for the oppressed of
the human race, and his sense or
Justice prompted him to aid in the
overthrow of their oppressors; and in
all his public acts and utterances there
was an underlying reliance in the
Justice of his cause, coBpled with a
firm belief in the ultimate triumph OF
righteousness.
''There is a splendid civic spirit
in our day. 1t is growing. The
people are q%uickening in interest in
public affairs. They are demanding
higher principles in the public service;
that public officials shall be governed
q single motive, namely, that public
office is a public trust that every
official act shall be performed with the
object of voicing the popular viii;
in short, that we shall have to represent
us in, all public Office men with the
of Lincoln Republicans"
The committees in charge OF the al
fair were:
Dinner committee, Henry H.. Snede-
ker, chairman; Marcus Mitchell, Ed
ward S. Pierson, William Q. Wiley,

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CmY, June 70, 1908-- Continued heavy rains keep the water in the Raw and the Missouri
 rivers almost at food stage, and
 prevent the transaction of any con- siderable business at the stock
 yards. Twice has the water reached it's crest and started to recede, and
 yesterday the situation in the stock yards took on q most hopeful view.
 Heavy rains last night, however, caused the rivers to again threaten the low parts of the yards with an overflow, due to reach here tomor. row. A small amount of stock was received here yestel day, the first this week. and 250 car loads were unloaded today. In view of the reports of the rise sent out today, railroads are today again refusing stock for this market. The situa- tion at the packing houses is good, and all of them. with one or two exceptions, are killing stock today. Armour and Fowler have kept the water out completely, and no material damage has been done at any of the other plants. Morris suffered from a $10C,000 fire early this week, but the food damage is small at that plant. The injury to the facilities at the stock yards amounts 10 nothing, as there has never been any strong current through the pens, and the yards are ready for business at a stage of 26 feet or under in the Kaw river; the stage predicted for tomorrow is 27 feet. By the first of next week matters will likely resume their natural state in the market here.
