Mb. CuAinuAx and Skktt.ituku younger and hotter hoaded memborj than I am have been considerably distnrbod In their minds by what seemed to them an altaok upon us, and therefore with great pain, am oompelied to fix the responsibility where Ki mior this resolution Whereas. The Dhooelvn Dxir.v Hi nr i i of November la, 1881, published an article with Hie lol inwlnff an.Tir.lnn "nmnnrta. r.x tno YoW Men's ffhertas, Buch article, purporting to be report of a meetiaz of said Young Democratic ninh i. if aelf evidences of its falsjty, and was without qusstlon written to injure the persona whose sayings It professed to report, and was an asporslve, calumnious, detractive, slanderous, vilifying, defamatory libel upon sold That It la tho duty of all good citlxens to labor for the suppression of the said Buookltn Eagle for its want of veracity and for this llbslous.calumnious, slanderous, asporslve, defamatory, detractive, vilifying treatment of our friends, the Young Men's Democratic Club.

Laughter. Mr. Chairman, I tried to make tho resolution just as mild as possible renewed laughter I havo the article in my band and I don't mean to be sued for libel, but I shall read enough to justify mo in presenting such a resolution. I offer this resolution with great pain and regret because the Broosxyn. Eagle has alwayB shown us the greatest consideration, ana we owe it notblng but thanks.

Applause. We are very grateful not only to the Buooklvk Eaole, but also to tho thousands of its Democratic readers who voted with ua ou tho 8th of November. If this attack was made upon us. Mr. Chairman, we should pass it Qralltude would close our mouths in that ovout, but our Hps cannot be sealed when the honor nf nnr rn'anrtu Is involved.

(Laughter and applause. Now if tbis aolb naa an ajqcu upon its editorial eorps, wo suuuiu iuiua it a joau, um not Having oue, we must iuok upon it as an attempt to belittle the Young Men's Club, Its membership, its finances ana us lauors. irst iu numoers, tna I want to call your attention here to the manner in which it has been attaoked. In this city, whioh has a Domocratlo majority naturally, that papor undertook to make tbe publio believe that at what It called a publio meeting of the Young Men's Club there was a vote taken wilh this result: "After a brief discussion the resolutions were laiaon tne tamo ny a vote oz 32 to. 19." That Is to say, there wore flfty ono persons present.

This, Mr Oholrmon, Is Imposing on our, understanding, for thors ouuiu ve uocn icon man six or seven buudrej tuere. xne jsaou hob failed to do theuo gentlemen jnstico. wo eaw tbe white' badge of tbsir club at the different polling places, aod It orougnt uck to us pleasant memories of tbe Qarnold and Arthur campaign, wbon wo wore a badge of the same color. We are given to understand tbut with a club numbering, to say tho least, one thousaud members, there were present at a very Important meetlngnly fifty one. It Is stated further that 525 representatives of tho club wero scattored throughout the olty on election day.

As for finance, wo find it stated in the Eagle that this olub ralsod for the oamualnu tuna 7nn, iuuu ww, jqu will agree with mo when I Bay 525 members wearing the badgo is about (1.15 a piece. Laughter. I know Ave or six loeiiiuors ui uiuu wuo oeiong to other organizations with mo, and whoa projects of any bind come up tuey mvarinuiy araw tueir cnecx for $100 or so. The statement that they raised $003 is not true. Thoy ralsod without a doubt, and the statement that they ral.ed is simply au aBperslon on the part ui vito luiuKurer.j many, as to work, The paper is compelled to admit that they manned the polls with five hundred and twenty five men, but ace tbe moan way In which they wish to take away all the credit.

They say that the 525 men were mombers of tbe club and volunteers and volunteers mind you. Then they go on to say that tho olub leaned two ad dresses. We have not been able to elect a Mayor yet on two addresses. Laughter. But I want you to know the character of the addresses In question.

They were prepared during the late camnalirn. one nresent ing air. Eiuweii, nuu toe otuor irom tne stanupoint of air. Hopes, now, geutiemen, think of tbst for a Here Is a body of mou who havo issued two sen arato addresses In favor of two separate men who were candidates for the same office In one month. Now, the matter of numbers Is not of much Importance except as snowing tue ANIMUS OF THB AltTIOLS In the Eagle.

But you will find that In another claco they say to tho distinguished gentlemen who comprise tue ciuo tuem aeoptne ciuu not a large or powerful body, except in its respoctabillty and the wisdom of its utterancss." "The wisdom of its utterances," illustrating which I will olte another Instance 'Tbe Young Republican Club, oa the other hand, started with S20.1M0. aud it is said that their fund finally reached $60,000, and It was with regret that he (tho geu tlemau who was epeaklog) was obliged to say that it was bis bellof that all of It was not expendod for legitimate purposes." Now, that gentleman never said that. Laughtor.l It is the Eaglb asain. This has been a decent campaign and nobody has been assaulted. I havo not a personal acquaintance with all the members of this Young Democratic Clnb.

hut an know that somo of thorn are associated with ns In tho Brooklyn, Oxford, Carlton, Excelsior and other olubs. They mix with us la business. Their pows aajoin ours in oburch and as wo Bit together we hear the text 'Thou ahalt not bear falso witness asalnst thv nolrh. bor." We are bound together by all the lies that make friends one with another. Wo want to respect each other.

I am Informed that tho gentleman into whose mouth these words regarding the expenditure of money wore put la a gentleman In. ovory senso of the word, and, therefore, be muat know that Buob charges' cannot be made on mere Btreeta arqbra. More than tbat he ia not only a gentleman but a lawyer. Laughter 1 He knows what the word "libel" nieane, and what the word evidence means. He knows, or ought to know, that evidence Is not the strcst corner gossip of disaDDolnlod politicians, Ti'obster bits that iiMaiuv Is a statement which contains truth, and less than tbat does not justify a gentleman in assailing bis next door neighbor.

Now, I have said that he was a lawyer, and lawyers, aa a rule, are not glvon to credulity laughter, and In thlsconneotlou I expect you will rcmomber the story that General Butler told at the lime ho occupied New Orleans. A oreole who waa in Now Orleans saw a placard in a shop window saying "Buy your shirts of Moody." A gentleman who was nasslncr brat th tlmn and who saw tho Creole looklug at the sign remarked: "I see you are reading tho geheral's last proclamation. Ho has gone into partnership with Moody, and if you want to be solid with him you must buy a dozen or two of shirts." The oreole, who had only money enough to buy three shirts, paid for tbat number ond went away blaspheming the tyranny of Butler in Issuing such an autocratic order. I think that the gentleman who made theee remarks about our disbursement of money, if he did nmke them, had even more credulity than the ereole. Laughter.

Going on with thla wisdom of utterance, I want to call your attention to one more poiut. There is a gentlo man who la reported as saying that it would bo highly unwise for them to make themsolvos committees ou reorganization in overv ward. Tha clnh had oirnn advice lately which, had It been accepted, would have brought about a different result than tbat accomplished; but, gentlemen, I don't know what the result would have been. Laughter. Considering, however, tbat the club Is noted for Its respectability, and that nothing it esaerte could possibly bo wrong, wo muat find no fault with tbe statement.

Laughter. But, gentlemen, I boo the representative of the Eaol here and lonVa Illto intelligent, fair minded man who would do Injustice to nobody, and with the consent of tho house I will withdraw the resolutions I have offered, proposing in return to make amends for all tho harm that may have been done. I am going to offer anotbor resolution whioh I think wiU bettor BUit our good humor and oheerf ul disposition tbis evening THANKS TO THB EAGLE. RMOlOed. That the BrOOklrQ Vonnn nlnK gladly lakes 1Mb opportunity at its first meeting slnoe election day to'exproas to the 1J.ooi.ms Oailt I3AOI.E, vmu ana to nil otner political opponents Its appreciation of the courteous manner In wafer.

Mr, 8etb toir was treated by thorn during the canvass also to express its thanks to the uinzens' committee, to the Republican Campaign Com miitdb and to all tho Domocratlo and Independent voters whose support contributed so largely to Mr. Low's election. 0 Tho reading of tbe resolution wa followed by applause, ad then It was unanimously adopted. Mr. Ferris Now that we have listened to the pleasantry of Mr.

Tupper In regard to tho Eagle It seems to bo proper tbat we should return to the serious business of the evening, and I thorefore take pleasure iu offering a resolfltton whioh, I think, will express the seQtlments of the members of the olub with reference to OUB PUTUBB ACTION Whtrens, Betti Low woe nominated and elected Mayor of the Olty of Brooklyn, upon the distlnot pledge on his part that he would administer the duties of that high offlce with an eyo single to the best interests of all oltlzane. poor and rioh, high and lew, friends and foes, and that he would conduct the affairs of the city upon the same strlet business prlnslples with which lie manages his own. prfVsto business; and Wherfat. In order to make good that pledge, he will need the hearty and constant support of all patriotlo oltizene; therefore, Jtssolvsd, That we, the members of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club, collectively and individually, hereby promise cur earnest and most unqualified support to Mr. Low in his efforts to that end, and express our confidence that he will perform his pledge to the letter.

Mr. Ferris (continuing) We are not officeholders, bat we want to contribute to tlib supcess of Mr. Low's administration, and it seems to me that by tho'adop Uon or these resolutions can best sustain him snd plodga him an effeotive helping hand. Applause. Mr.

Osborne It Beams propor that Buch resolutions should be offered and passed. I am one of those who believe that after a successful election the duty of those who hare succeeded is not at an end. I believe that, having dons all we could 'to eloot Mr. Low, It is our duty to sustain him in hl position for the entire length and breadth of hie term of office. We are about to have a Demooratlo Legislature, ana although wo hove a Republican Governor, we must not trust to that.

I believe that thlB club ought to koep up its Interest in municipal affairs, and that we should have at the club's headquarters lo this olty every bill that in any way affects tho City of Brooklyn, eo that our members can inspect tuem and see that no Job is put up to cripple Seth Low In tho administration of hia One man, bs he never so good, can not carry out reform alone. Seth Low Is right in spirit and he is right in his bead. Laughter.) Ho le oompetent to fill the office of Mayor np to the handle and to the satisfaction of every citizen in Brooklyn. But he must have men, and tho right sort of men, to support him in his work. I am la favor of the resolution.

It sustains the eandidato that we have elected, and be is entitled to our support. Applause. Mr. KeUogg In my Judgment, the blggost Job Mr. Low has, got on hisshouidara is the choosing in January, and afterword in July, 0f members of the Board of Education.

If he is to carry this load well, be will have to have the support, not only of the Young Republican Club, but of every good citizen in Brooklyn. my Judgment no interest ie secondary to the interest tbe young In the matter of education, and tbat, from tnglnnlng to end. is in th hand i u. nnri of Edu cation. If Mr.

Low, daring the comlng'slx months, is and thirty who will bit thnrnnnhtv nnmnetent to olflil tUeli duties in THB BOAKD 07 BDUOATION, will have to pat oa very chsrp spectacles, carry an eleotrlo light in his hand, and make' the search of aiogenea. Am a teacner in a private scuooi xa tais city I bare nothing to say In oritiolsm of our DUblio school management, bnt until onr publio Mlioele are put upon the platform that tho publio schools of Boston and many England towns stand, the Board of Education will etill have work on hands. We are not on tbat level yet Positions in the Board of Education ought not to be given to. men simply baoatiM they have been 'successful in life and have happenod, perhaps, to make a fortune. Tuoy ought De given to men wno nevo nrooaea tuorouguij uiov the subJeot ef education, Ia what, doss education oon sist Is the ideal toward which wo are striving 7 takes time and iadsment and a cood deal of tmnk tng'to form a correct educational Ideal.

Many people nk tbat education cor lists in the absorption 01 knowledge. tell yon it does aot. Education, Rimy Judgment, oonsiats tn tha power to digest knowledge. Then; again, economy la the payment of teachers' salaries means poor teaohlng, for no teacber will earn more than be thinks he owes to the olty. Economy, I ro psat, rigid economy, so far as (esobers' ealiylos concerned, le arrant folly.

I havo confidence Mayor Low and believe tbat be will give bis best judgment to the management of educational affairs. was edncated at tho Folytscbnlo and UiB Polyteohnlo carried thlB election, I want you to understand.

Meters, Cole Murphy, Auctioneers Gentlemen I protest moat strenuously against your action in offering a second time for sale property which bad already boon knocked down to mo. I refer to the sale of the four lots at $1,300 each numbers 115, 116, 117, 118 title for which I will domaud. The pernicious influence of Mr. Stranahan bidding through hlmfelf and relative was manifested very clearly in this case.

Mr. P. W. Ostrander has forwarded the following letter to tho vice president of tho Republican General Committee NO. 417 WA9HINOTOK AVKHUE, November 17, 1881.

iriifiam H. Dike, Vice President, Mx Diab Sib If you had, by consulting me first. bave given me the opportunity to say whether I would servo or not on the committee to formulate charges against Mr. Jacob Worth, I Bbould have deolined. As the first intimation of my appointment came to mo this eveaing through the columns of tho Gaols, I seek the same Bource to announce my declination, and I declluo for the following roasons First It would be In very bad tests for me to Bccept so prominently adverse a position toward one with whom I have, through all last Winter, in most things, aoted in concert.

Seoond I having made speolal missionary efforts, before, election, with Mr, Worth to get blm to withdraw opposition to, and to enlist bis efforts in favor of, Mr, Low, It is an ungracious thing to now 6CGlt to compel me to act aa ono of bis exooutlonora. Third As I bave, through tbe entire year done am plo comnilttio and otber tsrvlco, iu uuoti pleaiaut places as on tbo New Lots contest, tbe Bylaws Committee, organizing the Eleventh Assembly District Convention when it was expected to bo troublesome, not to mention other matters, I might bow, well be excused from so nnplsossnt a task, in favor of Gome one who has not been favored in this way. Fourth ttr. William 11. N.

Gideons, who Introduced tbe proposition, by all usage, should at least be on tbe committee if not made Its ohairman. fifth I am of opinion that Mr. Worth, under the bylaws Is no longer a member. I can therefore nnd no reason for acting on this subcommittee. In conclusion, as I was appointed without my consent being asked, I proa muo I may be.

iu tho eame spirit, permitted to suggest a committee to you, If they will consent to servo, which would be ae follows: Mr. CadmuB, Eighth Ward; Mr. Go.lord, Eighteenth Ward Mr, Daggett, Nineteenth Ward Mr. James H. Johnson, Twelfth Ward, and Mr.

Curtis, Thirteenth Ward. I think' such a committee would be likely to go any length required of it, aud would be harmonious, I think it hardly necessary to repeat what I said the other night in general eommltlee, but, that I may not be mlsunierstood, I will say again tbat, in my judgmsnt, there is not the slightest palliation or excuse, nor anything but condemnation, due to any Republican who opposes a party candidate who is capable, honorable and intelligent and aaob In a very eminent degree we all know Mr. Seth Low to be.

A concert of unusually fine oimracter was giver, lu the South Congregational Chnrch Wednesday evening in aid of the Pastoral Aid Booloty, This society le the medium through which tho lafllea ot the Christian Work Committee of tho ohuroh, acting as visitors In tbe neighborhood, ascertain who are tbe deserving needy aud sick poor, and secure sewing work for tbe womon wbo are able to do it. The restores of the concert were the singing of a lovely long by Buck Mr. Brown; the oxpresslra rendering of the ballad the cncoiM by tire. Draper the solo in the second part by Mrs. Grant, wiioso eweet voice was hoard to special advantage, and the performance of the "Invitation to the Dsnco" by Professor Kortbeuer.

The quartet "0 Gladsome Night" wao admirably Tbo programme throughout a rdItWe 6ne, and wae aVirltedly performed, As at It It is Of Chili, and General Hurlbatf our representative in Peru, have certainly Buooeadecl in bringing the United States Uovernment into contempt by reason of their differenoett Is the fault theirs, or must tho blamo be laid at the door of tho ambidextrous Seoretaryof State? In eithor case the temporary effeot on American interests in those countries will be bad, and intelligent men there can hardly avoid tho conclusion that tuero has been some double dealing. Paul and Bernhardt. The bond of sympathy and union that ex ists between the peerless Patti and the divine Barah Bernhardt is olosor than one would be. lievo. It is apparent that those two estimable ladies have been talking together about us be hind our broad national back, and that they have agreed upon different methods of allur ing the reluctant dollar from the great Amerl.

can pocket. It is clearly moreover, that the great size of the roll of greenbacks conveyed by Sarah to Paris had a perceptible effoct upon tho intentions of Madame Patti, for the moment the success of the former enterprising" lady was established, the star spangled banner was run up to the mast head of a certain Welsh castle, and prepara tions were immediately begun for the long postponed trip to America. If, thought the peerless Patti, Sorah Bernhardt could clear $200,000 American dollars in one season, with an expensive oompany to support, surely, Patti oan make three times that sum. Bern hardt was French and had to force interest in her aotinor by spasms of admiration of America. Patti would need only to recall the fact that sho was brought up in New York to enlist the country in a superlative singer and patriot.

If a Frenchwoman's admiration ontitled her to demand three dollars for a seat in the theater, a peerless singer's patriotism ought to bs worth ton dollars. She dispatched an agent to feel the pulse of the Amerioan people. He felt it, and diagnosed a state of excitement good for twenty dollars. The patient laughed at him and the price came do to ten. rata oame out with a small conoort party, depending on gush and gullibility the price of seats was too high.

Now, Mr. Henry E. Abbey has made a bid and shouldered the responsibility. His first not is to reduce prices to $5 for reserved soats, and $2 for general admission. But, in order to let the publio understand tho measure of his enterprise and the value of the articlo offered, he an nounces that he will par her $5,000 for each performance in which she ap poars.

The expeoted million that Patti was to carry off is reduced already to $400,000 probably before the season closes and tho con cert company returns to Europe, tha peerless prima will look a little enviously even at Bern hardt's spoils. xnere seems to De no doubt that is really in good voice and at her prime, but Americans aro acenstomod to hear tho best of music at so much lower prices that Mr. Ab bey cannot expect success. For instance, the Philharmonic Society enables tho people of Brooklyn to hoar the best orohestra in the country and 6uch stars as Campanini, Miss Cary, Mile. Valleria and other distinguished artists for something less than a dollar.

At the Tabernacle in this city the entire force of Colonel Mapleson's Company have boen hoard in concert for a dollar. The samo organization, at its best, plays here in opera for just ono half what Mr. Abbey demands to hear a dramatic singer in concert. As for Sarah, it seems that sho has cherished a determination to return, which one of her superserviceable friends, Mile. Colombier, has upset.

It'appoars that among her suite when 6ho came to this country were this samo Colombier and a young author, Jehan Soudan, who, for a salary of $200 a month, made momoranda. Those memoranda have boon published in Paris aver Colom bier's name, and some of them have been sent back to the United States. They have given the true inwardness of Sarah's feeling toward us. They consist of an uninterrupted sneer at everything American. An attack upon Clara Morris, as tho American beau ideal of an actress, is positively brutal in its personality, and could have been dictated only by a woman, and a spiteful one discussing a successful rival.

All this of course tends to ruin Sarah Bernhardt's popularity. Hence the remark mado by her at Pesth to journalist that she would like to "smash Mile. Colombier," is quite Intelligible. Tho gold fields of America have boen pretty well harvested by foreigners, and it requires the most perfect machinery and skill to go over them again for gleaning purposes. This Bernhardt and Patti understand.

The former finds that her ohanoe has gone by the latter determined to make her garnering so thorough as to leave nothing for a future expedition. Both have failed. Tho doubt as to the Dutchess Senatorial District is ended, the canvassers of the three counties Putnam, Dutchess and Columbia have finished their labors, aud tho result is now known Judge Nelson's official majority in Columbia County is 1,241. In Dutchess County tho official majority of Mr. Everett is 987, and in Putnam County, where ho resides, 22.

This leaves Judgo Nolson with an official majority of 232. For several days past the rumor has boen industriously circulated by Mr. Everett's friends that "clerical errors" had been discovered in the count in Columbia County, which would give the election to Mr. Everett. The certificates having now been mado out, dispute is at an end.

The people of thRt district, as well as of the State large, are to be congratulated. Apart from political considerations, the election of Homer A. Nelson is a great public gain, for into the service of the people will coma a man, honorable, high mindod, able boyond his1 ellowa, and one fully equipped by experience in pub he affairs, with a special aptitude for the performance of the duties now imposed upon him. His presence will add to the character of the body he will join in January next. Austria and Italy are effusively friendly just at present, and if report Bpoaltg truly, Ger many joins' thoir hands in a "Bless you, my "children" fashion.

This is too good to be all true, or if truo, it is not bo good as it seoms. The aspiration for unity, it is true, is even more laudable in nations than in individ but unfortuuately tho agreement is seldom of an innocent character. Just at pres ent France is tho menaced power. Italy, finding that Trieste was beyond her gvasp, looked for conquest in Africa, where France forestalled her, greatly to the lattor'g cost in reputation, as in soldiers and money. So Italy de veloped a sudden warmth of feeling toward Austria, which tho Emperor Joseph finds, it usoful to enoourage and Prlnoe Bisma'rok is quite interested to Jmpourage what so well fits in with his own What Italy payB for the alliance is yet to bo soon, but it Is improbable that Germany and Austria will abstain from profit in tho transaotion.

In view of the approaching coronation of the Czar, the Nihilists in Russia are said to be actively engaged in plotting against his Majesty's life. An attempt is said to have been made to undormino the Imperial Palace at Gatohina, but tho plot was revealed by one of the conspirators. Should reports of this nature continue to bo industriously circulated, there is small chanco of many royal visitors attending tho coronation when it does oome off. Mr. Jay Gould's plan for increasing the re coiptso'f tho Metropolitan Elevated Railway consists in increasing tho number of stations.

The offect of thi bo far as the publio is oon corned wonlclb to lengthen tho time consumed in making the trips. Mr. Gould might place a station at ovory second or third corner, but the delays necessarily incident to such a change in the existing arrangement, would hardly increase the reputation of the routo os a means of rapid transit. One of the most conspicuous members of tho Chicago Tariff Convention is Mr. John Roach, tho millionaire ship builder.

His presence and influence must impart an additional interost to the proceedings of such a body. Mr. Roaoh is tho connecting link betwoon the system of protection and the system of subsidies. Fqstmaster General James generously volunteers the opinion that Mr. MacVeagh is a great lawyer and has made an exceedingly able head of tho dopartment of justice, but ho says nothing rolativo to tho justico of tho criticisms provoked by his management of the Star route cases.

To the PretUent of tlit Third Hard Republican Asso I hereby resign the ohalrmaushtp of tho Executive Committee of tho Third Ward Republican Association and my membership In that body.

Allow me, sir, through you, to offer my Blncoro thanke to tho members of tbe association lor the unfailing courtosy and extended to me while I was In the occupanoy of tho ohalr for two terms and since. Believing, as I do, that under the new order of municipal affairs, the time has arrived for a general reconstruction aud a revision of political methods, I prefer to remnin wholly untrammeled, while at the same time I hold myself rather moro of a Republican than ever If that be possible. Yours very truly, Augustus Maveuick. Mr. Maverick Bald that ho had boen insulted and tbat he wished to sot himself right, and ho insisted on his resignation being accepted.

Mr. Perry agroed with Mr. Maverick tbat there had been ton much c'ono corporation about their methods.

Vlewu Expressed Lnst veiling; at tUe Independent Catholic mass Meeting in tbo Temple. An independent Catholic mass meeting was held last evening In tbo Temple on Clermont avenue.

About 000 people were prosout. The Rev. Dr. Fulton presided and made an address on tbe subject for tbe consideration of which the meeting was called How we holp Irishmen The dootor paid a high compliment to the ability and patriotism of Irishmen, and said that mm and Romanism rained Irishmen Ireland and blocked their advancement in this country. The mischief was the monopoly Rome and not the monopoly of land.

The Irish problem mast bo solved by love, and tho men who had come out of Rome, liko those who wero to speak afterward, hold tho key which would solve It. When Ireland surrendered to popery, she became poor; when sho threw off the shackles of popery she would again bo free and become the gem of the sea. England ought to permit Irishmen to develop intellectually and materially lu their own conntry as thoy were enoonraged to in this country. Every Irish obl'd In the publjo schools here helpod the causa of Ireland, and every iriKa cu.iu imaa to atiuuu tun popiea scuooie was re tarding tno progress oi tne country of his fathers. Par noil and tboio with him wore in earneat lu their endeavors to help Ireland, but its real hope was in the Qospei.

By and by, when the fetters of popery wora broken, tbe Irishmen who had gained wealth here would go back and buy up Ireland, and it would be come the home of tho Gospol and of peace, and God wouiu reign tuera evermore. THB EEVEREND FATHER MO NAMARA stld bo could never speak until he bad been roused up with an old Irish tune. Hereupon he asked the organist to strike up an Irish air. Then Father McNamara aald I'll ask a priest's wife to come and help mo ring. Come, my dear." A lad from the audience ascended the platform and eang In trn exceedingly sweet voice.

Father MoNamara Joined in. After the song was over, ue luauo a epeccu. xuo religious question, said, most deeply affected the Irish, and until this wsb settled they would continue to be victims of external aud Internal troubles. The question was not who ehould admlbiater to the Irish the bread of life, or whether the Pope Bbould have away or bo regarded as knave or an idiot, There was a time when Ireland sent from her schools learned men to dlessml nate knowledge among the other nations. Tbe Druids llstoned to tho preachers from Jeruialem and a pure church woe established.

An Italian pips offered his services to an English king te degrade tbe Irish people condition that he would help the Popo to subjugate the Irish cbursb. The Irish farmer would have no need of lands acts to day If tbe Pope had not betrayed Ireland to Henry II. Tho bishops and priests had bartered their country away for gold and place and influence. John null might tread very heavily on tho soil of Iioland, but it was tho bull of pope Adrian tbe Fourth tbat trampled down tbs intelligence and conscience of Irishmen. And it was this samo bull tbat entered tho homes of Ireland and made tbe Irish the scorn and tbe pity of tbe world.

Until tbis bull and everything popish was driven from Ireland, tbe Irish never need look for liberty, enlightenment, progress or respect. Rome had taken care to keep the eyes of the Irish from tbe history of the early Irish church, before it woe surrendered to tbe Pope. The bad issued their own historlos, and the people wero taught to believe that when the Italian Pope's emissaries came to Ireland tbey found the people pagans. Tbe Church of Rome kept from the people the fact that the early Irish ohuroh was dragged down and dograded by Rome, and it distorted facts until nations bad got false idea of Irishmen. When the faith of tbe first twelve centuries wsb understood, the people would see bow pure and beautiful it was, compared to that composed of superstition, blasphemy and falsehood Roman Catholicism.

Thon Ireland would enjoy freedom and all her sorrows would be healed; Jesus was tbo Moses who was going to lsad ber out of bondage, A collection was taken up and the Rev. C. F. Gaeghen made a stirring appeal, arguing that converted Catholic priests were to be the Instruments for tbe eonrerslon of Irish, and urging Protestants to encourage those who were already engaged in tho work. The Rev.

T. MoNamee, who is ongaged In mlBslon work among Irish, in ths down town wards, spoke briefly, and followed by the Rev.

Are any oharitable institutions more worthy of relief than these, or do any persons deserve sympathy and help more strongly than the sick, tho orphans, the women who need physical nourishment and medical care, the aged who have no relatives or friends to care for them, but depend upon publio benevolence for the comfort and shelter of their last years on earth, tho boys and girls who need industrial training to keep thorn from wrong doing ihero is a familiar to mauy, in the Litany of the English Prayer Book, whioh runs: "That it may please Thee to havo "meroy upon all sick porsons, all women la boring with child, and young ohildren, and upon all tho dosolato and oppressed."

Sato of ttie Runt side I.nintu. Of the one thousand lots into which tho East Sido Park lands aro dividod 206 woro sold at auction yesterday, and brought tho sum of $593,000, being an average of a little over $2,000 a lot. Tho sale of tho remainder is deferred for the prosout, Mr. I explaining that he desires before putting it on tha market to obtain certain additional authority touching the lots that face on Flat bush avenuo. Procisely what authority tho commissioner dosires he did not state, but wo assume it is to make it more presontablo than ho deems it at present.

Perhaps, however, his real objoct is to lot the market thoroughly absorb tho quantity takon yesterday before burdeuiug it with more. Were it not that tho public have grown impationt of delay, there might be a reasonable plea made in favor of holding tho undisposed of section till that which has been sold shall have boon improved. It is not in tho least doubtful that as soou as tho erection of flue residences begins every unoccupied foot of surrounding territory will rise in value. Tho public feeling, however, wo assume, is against any further holding back on tho part of tho commissioners with this in view. Whatever tho additional authority spoken of by Mr.

Stranahan may provo to bo, ho and his associates will be oxpected to obtain it without delay, and then resume the sale. The pricos obtained yesterday are said to bs satisfactory, though that they aro large will not be pretended by any one familiar with tho prices obtained for property correspondingly situated in New York. Tho most desirable lot sold yesterday brought which may seem a great deal of money to give for tho baro ground on which to ereot a house. The fact, however, is that a lot placed in relation to Central Park would bring from 50,000 to 000. It is in tho light of comparison like this that we muat judge whether the purchasers are making good or questionable invest ments.

When it is remembered that tho time is not remote when Prospect Park, because of tho bridge and the inevitable establishment of rapid transit, will be within easier reach of the business coutor of New York than Central Park is, it appears hardly debatable that those who get property here for one fifth what its counterpart across the river is held at do handsomely for themselves. What iB truo of the specimen lot in question is in tho main truo of every lot disposed of yesterday. Unless all indications miscarry, tho men who invested yesterday will not have to live long before they sea their money doubled. Rapid transit and the bridge will do this for them as certainly as thoy will, in effect, make New York and Brooklyn one city. That residence in tho vicinity of Prospect Park must be more desirable before loug than around the rival pleasure ground is attested in many ways.

First of all, the Brooklyn site is in every way more beautiful. The view of tho bay, tho river, the ocean nnd tho Long Island meadows is of exquisite attraction, while tho facilities that those living at this place will have for visiting the ocean side, either in their own carriages or by the railroad, in tho hot Summer timo, when the people of upper New York are sweltering miles away from tho cool Atlantic, will excite envy every day and night of the hot season. There is no city in tho United Status that has a location so tempting in every way for prosperous business men as this. With every surrounding pleasant, with rural sconory and seaside pleasures brought as it wero to the door, with the fiuest park in tho country iniino liatoly undor the windows it. is yet within easy reach of the business centers of tho two cities.

The Eagle is confident that tho mon who purchased yosterday will have no reason to repontthoir bargains. Tlie Young Rapnlilicans.

In vlow of the conceded efficiency of their work, aud in view of tho further fact that to their influence is duo in largo measure the fact that Brooklyn has a Mayor elect to whose administration every friend of good local government may with reason look forward with confidence, thoy aro, all things considered, entitlod to a compliment on the score of modesty. It is in particular to thoir credit that, unlike the trading politicians, thoy havo not, because of Mr.

Low's victory, changed the tone of the appeals mado by them to good citizens, irrespective of party, beforo tho eloction. It has boen said by certain of the older heads that thoso young gentlemen havo much to loam of politics. Whether this be true or not, it is plain that thoy are in a position to teach man who aro many years their seniors one highly important lesson, namoly, a lesson on tho importance of rigidly keeping faith with the publio. It will be a great gain for everything decent and upright when it comes to bo an articlo in the creed of practical politics that tho pledgeB of parties aud candidates are to be saorodly carried out, and that victory is to be sought for in tho line of steady well doing and not by resorting to trickery or hocus poous of any kind. We observe that Mr.

Tupper, one of the members, was ungracious enough to jibe thfi Young Democrats upon their shortcomings making an ironical defense of them against tho Eagle. It is never in first rate taste to crow over a defeated opponent, ovon when the crowing is half humorous, and in this case it is hardly oxousnblo, for tho Young Democrats had, because of the utter demoralization of tho Democracy, complicated by blunders of phenomenal magnitude on the part of the moro influential politicians of their party, a most discouraging task to discharge. Had the regular Democracy accepted General Slocum, as the regular Republicans accepted Mr. Low, it is to say the least not. improbable that tho laugh would now be on tho other side.

In tho meantime tho young Democrats may profitably study both the spirit and methods of the Young Republican organization. Tho spirit is ono of determination not to lot any maohine ride over manhood, pUro and sim pie, and the methods aro thoao of thorough organization. If tho Young Demoorats will make it clour that thoy mean to insist upon having democracy in Iho Domo cratio party, and that they will give their time earnestly to promoting such democracy, and to opposing every counterfeit or bogus representation of it, thoy will grow to be a power in the city. Perhaps two years hence the Young Democrats will hold a jollification meeting, and some one of thoir numbor send condolence to the rival organization. Tho curious spectacle is presented of a diplomatic disagrooinont between two American ministers, each professing to havo received different instructions from tho Department of State relative to the same subject matter.

From what has already been done in the trial of daitoau for iho mnrdoflof tho late President, it Is okar that tha lino of defense which the prisoner's counsel or rather one member of it has determined to adopt is that of insanity. Mr. Soovillo proposes to show that, at a time of unusual political ex oitoment, events oocurred which, acting upon a weak and disordered mind, tended to entirely warp tho murderer's judgment and misdirect his actions. Ths future offortR of Mr. Scoville will bo intended to elaborate this idea by showing that Guitaan iuherited his mental deficiency; that it was a family failing, and that in consequence he was not responsible for hia acts.

This Is a new and interestino phase of Ihe insanity plea, and as it develops will unquestionably bscomo important. behavior of the prisoner yosterday jrpaaioh'ta to annoy and" even exasperate tho conrt flnd audience. If it is part of a plan to support theory it" is cleverly canae'd "Whether It will tend to prove hirri insane according to. the spirit of the law is quite another question. The inference so for is that he is an ill tempered, surly, irrepressible egotist, whoso mania, if he havo one, is that he is the only parson of intelligence in tho oourt room, or in the conntry for that mattor, and that he fully believes thnt a majority of tho American people so regard He talks about his rights as though his dastardly act had entitled him to consideration above the oommon herd of oriminals, and his insufferable impertinence to tne oourt, its officers and his own counsol toad to make his manner as repulsive as his appearance.

Almost the very first proceeding of the day brought him to his feet. ville esplainad to the coiirtjjwMjgts being called to order, that noJjrSt'r, iln. j30. associate, Mr. Robin son.

Ouitanu sprang to his foot, donounced Mr. Robinson, and when directod by tho court lto keep silonoe, struggled with tho offloers who attempted to seat him and threatened to "make a noise to the country" if he could not have his own way. An admonition that he would be removed and placed in irons if ho parsiated in giving trouble cowed him somewhat, and with few exoeptious at intervals ho held his peaoe through tho day. The opening opeech by Distriot Attornoy was not too long was carefully considered, impressively delivered and both affecting and effoctiva. After pointing out to tha jury its dr.ty and the law of murder ho briefly narrated the circumstances of tho killing, and then proceeded to show the motive from Guiteau's letters to the Prasident and Secratary Blaine and the records of tho State Department.

From other documents, some of them prepared by tha prisoner, he told how the idea of killing General Garfield had originated, and how the preparations for the murder were coolly and deliberately mado how the Rssassin procurid a terrible weapou, practioed shooting with it, aud dodged his unsuspecting victim's footsteps for twenty four days, until nt length a good opportunity offered, and the long premeditated and revengeful deed was accomplished. At the conclusion of tho speech Mr. Scoville reserved his opening, aud the prosscution called for its L. first Secretary of State Blaine, who jrtyas with the President and an eyo witness of that happened after the first shot was Sred. The Venezuelan Minister, the matron of the ladies' waiting room of the depot, the ticket who arrested Guiteau, a young Virginian gontleman who was present, Mr.

George W. Adams, publisher of the Star, of Washington, and the janitor of the depot, testified to the occurrence, substantially as tho publio has already read of it. Not one of tho witnesses, however, swear that Guiteau used the phrase "I am a stalwart," or anything like it. The defense in cross examination sought to drawojjlfiovii Mr. Bluina the history of the quWrel between the factions of the party, and an admission that Federal offices wore bestowud as a reward for political activity.

In neither instance was tho result very satisfactory. It was not, at all events, striking. The trial will be continued to day and a full report up to tho last moment will be given in the Eagle's latest edition. inrs. Cary's Will.

The bequoRts made by the late Mra. Maria Cary, amounting to are another notable instanca of the benevolence which is characteristic of many of the wealthy residents of Brooklyn. It is an admitted principle that all sane persons havo a full right to dispose of their personal property by will as thoy please, providod no undue influence be exorcised upnu them in their last days, to the injury of their own kith and kin. In tho present case, Mrs. Cary's will is not susceptible of dispute, for her large fortune enabled her to gratify her benevolent feelings, while she still left tho bulk of her property to her blood relations and to an adopted daughter.

Othors have no right to complain if they aro not remembered by wealthy acquaintances, for the principle of one of the parables holds good here: "Friend, I do thoe no wrong; "may I not do what I will with mine own?" There is a diffused feeling in the community, and, perhaps, a healthy one, that sectarian becjuests ax not prq iucUvQ of ro vnuth good to ioek ty as purely hurnauo appropriations. But in tbis respect Mrs. Gary's will is scarcely open to disparagement. Out of tho which she bequeaths to corporations instead of persona. $1.1,000 goos to the First Unitarian Society, or Church of the Saviour, of which she and her family had been members over since its foundation, in 134G.

Its pastors Mr. Longfellow, Dr. Farley and the 'prfsent pastor, Dr. Putnam had been friends and advisers, as well as the spiritual teachers of herself and her family. It was natural, theroforo, to remember tho church which was so dear to her, and in this bequest of $15,000 to tho Church of the Saviour wo recognize a verification of tho principle'' To him that hath shall be given and ho shall have mora abundanco," for this church has done vast good in Brooklyn.

The Union for Christian Work, ono of the noblest of our local institutions, was started by the Church of the Saviour, and when the Unitarians and othors who woro engaged upon the Channing Memorial Church at Newport wero without tho needed sum for going on with it, this Church telegraphed through its pastor that the First Unitarian Society of Brooklyn would make up tho deficiency. Moreover, no one acquainted with religions affairs can call Cary'6 bequest to the Unitarian Church ud its college at Antioch sectarian, for while the Unitarians have been ostracised by the so called orthodox1 churches, they have judged nd cut off none of them. Their work is hu manitarian and social, bosed on their lovo for the perfect humanity of tho Saviour. Theso romarks apply also to tho 10,000 bequeathed to tho American Unitarian Society of Boston, and to the First Unitarian Society of Lexington, Massachusetts. But it with her bequests to Brooklyn charities that we are most concerned.

We have already nlluded to the Union for Christian in whioh nil ohnrchos as well as Christian workers of no church may unite, and knowing its post record of usefulness for some fifteen years, tho pleasant hours of amusemont and montal improvement which it has afforded to the boys of Brooklyn, its useful' book shelves and ablo lectures, we are glad that Mra. Cary has helped it forward with a bequest of Of the libraries of Brooklyn as instruments of culture and happiness it is impossible to speak too highly. Mrs. has loft $5,000 to tho Brooklyn Library, and never was money hotter bestowed, for there is.groat need of a standing fund for the purchase of now books and tho rcbiuding of old cries. To the Historical Society, lately emancipated iftm the ras angustm domi, there a be 3uos.fc.of Sooo:" same amount is left to lb Souths' Froo 'Library of the Brooklyn hi.

He might have found food for self glorification in the beginning as well as in the denounment of the sale. It looked like the grandest of grand boom in roal estate at first.

THB INTIMATION OP COLLUSION. Tho neit lot to tho loft, or north, the opposite eorner of the Parkway and Plaza streets, also wentatshigh ure, nir. uutchar, a relative of Presldont Stranahan, had bseu bidding on tho lots thus far offered, but bad not baon successful Just as Mr. Colo was about offering tho next lot on Ocean Parkway to the east of tho corner lot which had reached so high a figure, the first intimation of dissatisfaction mado itself known lu a dioagreablo incident. A Mr.

J. A. Warwick, of this olty, In a vory excited manner arose and charged Mr. Stranahan with virtual collusion with Mr. Dutchor, in indicating to him by tele graphio signs and nods what ho should do.

In an instant the orowdsd salesroom was In a turmoil of excitamont. Mr. Warwick reiterated Uls charges with scornful Intonation and gesture, aud characterized tho sale hypotUetically as a "Petor Funk" auotlo'u. Mr. Stranahan was evidently deeply disturbed.

This at tack was as unexpected as it was violent. H1b pale and intellectual oountonanca whitened and grayed a trifle moro than usual, but the oxtorior otherwise was indicative of self control within. Mounting tho platform he briefly explained that without endeavoring or wishing to conceal bis objo3t, bo bad indicated to Mr. Dutcher bis viowa in throe or four oases. He would do eo no moro if it woro the wish of the gentlemen present.

He begged loave, however, to Ifato tbat while ho did not propose to benefit personally or pecuniarily ono cent by any transaction there, he should hold himself entirely at liberty to protect the interests of tho city, even to the extent of bidding if he so thought best. Whatever he should do, however, thereafter, ho Bbould do above board. They would know whan 10 bid without mistake. Mr. Btrauahan sat down with the eamo dignity with which ha had wrapped himself when he arose, and Mr.

Warwick and the dissatisfied element had notblng fur thor to say. And thereaftar, on several oooaBlons, Mr. Stranahan said to Mr. Colo Mr. Colo, please stop a moment, I propose to bid for those lots." And Mr.

Stranahan's bids wore taken and lu a number of instances property was struck off to blm although not In every lustanoe for himself, by any means. In one ease an official friend and high toned gentleman had a houea on the lots offsred ond lived thero. Mr. Stranahan bought them to proteot that gentleman's Immediate Interests. If that gentleman did not want tbe lots or could not carry thsm, Mr.

Stranahan would keep them so he said to tbo re. porter. THB SALE GOES ON. The sale proceeded without further Interruption as given iu the Eagle yesterday.

The Brooklyn Young Eepublioan Club held Its, flrat meeting ilnce the eltctlon last ovoulng, id Muilo Hall, Tho attnano was a large a it an ax oltlng oampnlgn wis In progress. The members cam around early, and they were all as happy at victors ought to bo. As enterod the nail they smuea ana shook hands and exchanged warm congratulations oTor the result of the recent contest. LHtio else was talked of but the oleotlon ot Beth Low to the Mayoralty, Mr. Low, from the timo the club was orgaulzod, was Us most popular member, and among the young men who met last night, only the klndlleat and most help ful words wero spoken of him, sir.

Horace E. Darning, mayor eleot Low's sucoessor In tbs presidency of tho olub, ooaupted the ohalr, and Mr. Vf. S. GUmort, the seoretary, officially recorded the proceedings.

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT DEMINO. Mr. Horace E. Demlnc. nresldent of tbe olub, called tho meeting to order, and opened the proceedings by saying GENTLEMEH OF THE BROOKLYM YOUKU BEFUBI.ICi.H Club I don't suppose that any oue here needs to be informed or remlndod that ws bare rocentlr bad an election in tho Olty of Brooklyn.

I don't suppose any one hero or any soaBible man who Is so unfortunate as not to be here needB to be Informed that tho success of that elaotlon was du to a publio spirit of whioh this club has the honor to be tha best organized representative. Shortly after this olub was organized last Spring it issued a little pamphlet, In whioh was contained the following reading ''It does not hope to reform tho world or tbe nation, but it Intends to do suoh sorrics as it mar toward se curing good ROternmcnt for our own tity. It believes it not only possimo Due certain that Bumclent puoito interest oan bo roused and tbs wldo spread publio son uuieuc in laror 01 uonesc local government cau do or gauized to accomplish this not. Indeed. imme diately or without earnost effort, but In far less time than the ouloablo nenloot and well feliruod Indifference oi many or our oiuzens entitle mem to expect, it do lleves that, just as organization for selfish purposes has robbed our citizens of any rail irolco In our city government, so organization for unselfish purposes may restore to thorn a real and effective luflueuce in city affairs.

This organization the club proposes to sup ply. Gontlamon. I taluk we have supplied It. rApnlauie. I understand thoro is still a widespread ourloalty in the city as to what it is that these youug men want.

Somehow I dou't Intend to oxplain exaotlr bow it Beams to a creat many neonle utterly impossible to bc ilevo that when men t'o Into politics they can keep their woras, it has aireaay ooen saia with suincient expuo ltness but it will do no lmrm lay it again that not only no bolder of an office and no candidate for an office can be a member of this organization; but every member ot the Toung Republican olub who wants au office Is bound to resign at tho opening of the cam paign, and when the campaign is over be is bound not only not to accept au oince rrom tne successful canal dato, but If he is at all sensitive HE WOULD FEZL HUMILIATED were such a position offered him. I want to speak of anotner laci Because it is uue to tne jviayor elect ana due to this club. The Brooklyn Young Republican Club of 18S, and the Brooklyn Young Republican Club which took part in the late election are two separate and distvnot organizations. Tbe club ot 1830 was nothing but a uirnold and Arthur Campaign Club. It had no constitution and no platform oroept the thusiasm of Its members for General Gartiald.

Ap piause.i Auy man willing to vole and work lor ins election was admitted to the cltiD. Vi hen the election was over tho work was done. The qusstiou was whother advantage should be takeu of tho spirit eilsting all over the city that we might oreate a club In the interest oi tno uity oi uroosiyn. The Question was scussed. and it was thought by some to be imnrsotlcsble and impossible to creato suoh a club.

Among the gcntle tucu nuu luua iui upn hub iuu fjui.iOJLnH(l YYL1U 10 UUW tho Mayor eleot. He said: "Bellermtr suoh a olub It not practicable, I cannot become a member of each an organization." He did Rot become a member until shortly before tbe last election. Then bo joined for the express purpose of emphasizing the fact that he could not aud would not be a candidate for Mayor. Applause. But circumstances mado it neecsBary for him to stand as a candidate in the intorest of the City of Brooklyn.

In his plain, straightforward way he said "I cannot take tha nomination unless the club asks me to do it." Applause. No matter how oxigont may bo the circumstances it is a grave matter for a member of this olub to take a nomination. But in this case the club recognized the fact that the spirit aud letter of the law should be waived in the Interest of the city, and tbis club unanimously requested Mr. Low to take the nomi nation. Applause.

Then and not till than did he accept it. Gentlemen, tho Brooklyn Young Ropubllcaa Club has more than alfllled lis pledces. It was in the early Spring a little company of flrty men. It numbers dow 2.400 members. Applause.

Its origin, its courage, the fact that Its members wanted no offices for themselves, but eood covernment for tho rltv. tho foot that they would SrFTEB POLITICAL DEFEAT, but not personal dishonor, furnlshod the backbone which enabled the citizens of Brooklyn of ail rmrties tn combine and secure for the city the brilliant prospoets which are now before it. Gentlemen, the club must think somewhat of ite own future. Next weeK (Monday) in each ward will be hold elections of members of tbe Advisory Committee; who will represent their wards for a year. Two weekB from that lime the Advisory Committee will elect the officers of the club and Ave members ot the Executive Committee, the members of the Executive Committee holding ortlco for three years.

If the club baB succeeded thus far in pretty nearly everything it baa undorlaken, it haB succeeded through self abnegatloD on tne part of its members. It has succeeded because there baa been no petty spirit of small ambition, no bickering for prominence, and each man has dona all be could for the sake of dolug bis duty. At this olectlon I wish to remind the members that again In this instance, as In every other in our own body, the doctrine should hold good that tho office should seek tbe man and not the man the offlce, rADnlause.1 Let ua havo nn itHf let no small ambitions stand in tho way of success for toe emu. fioimug wouiu moro dengnt tne professional politician than to see the dub brokon up into small factions. In the ward elections lot us bearthatin mind.

We havo had men working? for us in the wards worlhv not only to 1111 any office in the gift of tbe club, but any office In the gift of the people. We have demonstrated that a gentleman can be a gentleman and do yeoman's work In politics. Applause. We propose never to sen this club go down until it be comoa au honor to tho City of Brooklyn to hold any elective offlco in tho city an honor not ouly to tho lnoum uont out to everyone who knowB or cares for him Pretty much everybody In Brooklyn, it seams, would" like to be a member of the Young Republican Club Wo aro told that we ought to go as a Dody Into the various ward primarlos and clean them out. We are told that wo ought to do a great many things and there are many things that would bs well for nn if th oonld be doue.

But we have shown already that if we have THE COUBAGB OP OCB PRINCIPLES we don't need much alvice. We have slmnir main true to the Btandard we have set up. As to the admission of new members wo cannot Impress too strongly what tho constitution Bays, and we mean every word of it. Wo can do more good next year with the membership as it is than with three umea cue inumuero, uuiuob we aaaoiner men as we are If you could ses tue plies of annlloations for ship coming in at headquarters and read some of the names you would be dumbfounded. Every man must recognize that he assumes a tremendous responsibility when ho recommends another man as a member.

Don't through any carelessness on your part or through good fellowship, let us be swamped by designing politicians or those who do not believe in the principles which have given us good government. But we want now members, of course. We want every good citizen of Brooklyn a member except the 200 or 300 men we wonld like to Tote for. Applauso.1 President Doming In oonclualon said that the elnb would rocoive tn report oi tiio commlttfis on Election Day Work. JAr.

The Brooklyn Feonj ClubReport of Election Day Committee Tho task of the Election Day Committee in preparing their report, though by no means easy, has been a very pleasant one. You wilt remember that when tbe gentleman whs la now Mayor elect of this olty was placed in nomination, the committee of the Republican city convention wulca Informed our body of that tact, coupled it with the remark, in substance, "You have compelled us to nominate him, and have thereby assumed the responsibility of hie eleotton."

Or more briefly, 091 members of the olub are known to havo been engaged in active and patriotic work on election day.

This does not Include clab. members, who acted previously as registers or the various and Important supervisory oommlttMs on election day. It is certainly a safe and comervatlvo estimate to say that the clnb contributed from Its own ranks a thoroughly organized and effective force of at least 1,000 volunteers to the election day work.

The olub members report that decided preference wsb manifested on the part of the voters for the haiinta provided by those wearing their badge, and in some slaces.
