llcuolillcaii Club.
A largo number of republicans In the
Fifth ward engaged In a meeting of excep
tional enthusiasm Friday night. U was the
regular session ot the Fifth Ward Repub
lican club nnd the capacity of the hall at
Sixteenth and Locust streets was taxed to
accommodate the big crowd.
Following a short address by R. W. Rich
ardson , Rev. Edward F. Trefz was Introduced -
duced as the speaker of the evening. He
delivered a rousing republican addreeo and
was ! accorded the meet enthusiastic applaus
at various stages of his speech. Ono of the
chauicterlstlc lomarks he made was , "In
national affairs I am one of thcne kind of
republicans who voted the ticket ) and read
the platform afterwards. " After gllvng ut
terance to thlo fctatement It was some mo-
ments before the tumultuous applaiieo
ceased and permitted the speaker to proceed.
He . stated that In municipal affairs he belie -
lie veil in the policy of supporting the best
men , adding that such were always In the re-
publican ' ranks , if the voters only took the |
care to bring out their best material. He .
eouneelea his hearcw to use calm judgment I *
In the bestowal of their suffrage In the prl-
marlea and the convention and select clean ,
honorable men for nil the municipal offlcoa.
At the conclusion of this address a rising
'veto of thanks was extended Rev. Trefz and
President W. T. Nelson assured him that ut
any time ho might want anything from thn
Fifth Ward Ilopubllunn club It would tie
forthcoming for tl'O asking , Hcv Trefz o
admitted dial his address marked his Indue-
lion Into Oniabn politics and after the ad
journment of the meeting he was surrounded
by ] n number of prominent local politicians
who were present ami congratulated him
upon l the ( rue blue republican doctrine hn
had expounded
No sooner had Mev. Tref/ acknowledged
the : vote of thanks extended him than n stir-
pi Iso was .sprung on the meeting by the
Introduction of a motion to adjourn. This
was somewhat disappointing to some of the
candidates for nominations lo city offices ,
who were In attendance- with the desire to
make themselves heard , hut the motion car
ried without opposition , and the meeting nd-
Jjourned without ono candidate having had
Iho floor.
Announcement was mode that n meeting
of the elub will bo held TuevMay night.
There will he a contest In the First ward
for delegate * to Oin lepubllean city conven-
Ion , the ( orces of Frank B Moores and a
the friends of K J fornlsh presenting
ilval delegations. The champions of Major
Mooica held a meeting Friday night and

sturdy Now England college.
After an Invocation by Dr. C. S. Sargent ,
70 , a line banquet was served. The post

address by the president , Mr. Henry C.
Lewis < , ' 74 , of Lincoln , In which ho Inlro-
duced the toastmaslcr , Prof. J. Irving Rend ,

attested the loyalty of the fions of Dart
mouth. After the Daitmouth song had
been swig by all standing , Dr. C W. Pollard ,
'M , and S H. liurnliam , ' 72 , of Lincoln
leBponded to the toast , "Dartmouth , Thro'
