Each and every mem ber of the club seemed desirous of put ting forth hla best efforts for the cause. Committees were appointed to look after special departments during the campaign, a meeting night was se lected for each week, and a committee appointed to hire permanent head quarters for the club. During the meet ing many well known Democrats ad vanced to the clerk's desk and signed the roll of the McKlnley Club, declar ing their Intention to stand by sound money and the best interests of the government. As each one marched up the aisle he was loudly and enthusias tically chewed, and for a few moments amidst great confusion, a regular old time love-feast was held. The presi dent Anally succeeded In calling the meeting to order and proceeded with Its regular business. Among the well known and tried re publicans of Clatsop county noticed In the audience, and w ho took and active part In the proceedings, were: The Hon. C. W. Fulton. Hon. F J. Taylor, mayor of Astoria; Hon. J. H. D. Gray, county Judge; F. I. Dunbar, county clerk; G. C. Fulton E. A. Taylor. C. J. Curtis. Albert Dunbar. Otto Hellborn, Andrew- Palglty, W. T. Chutter, F. L. Parker. B. S. Worsley, C. H. Stockton. Justice Abercromble. W. H. Barker, and many others equally prominent In the workings of the club and in Clat sop county politics. President Dellinger was in the chair and culled the meeting to order. In the absence of Secretary Wherrity. C. H. Stockton was chosen secretary pro teni. On motion Thursday night of each week was selected as the meeting night, and 7:30 p. m. as the hour for meeting. The next meeting will be held tomorrow evening. Hon. C. W. Fulton, chairman of the executive com mittee, was Instructed to select per manent quarters for the club, and his decision will be announced In these col umns before the meeting. A recess was here token, during which the strangers present were in vited to come forward and sign the rolls of the club. Between forty and fifty of those pn-sent marched to the front nnd put down their names for principle nnd hard work. Among them were a number of well known Demo crats who announced their Intention of standing by sound money and protec tlon regardless of other Issues. As each one came forward he was cheered to the echo, and Inst night's meeting of the McKlnley Club will go down In history as the most enthusiastic one held In eight years. When the meeting was again called to order, which was only effected by nsldernble difficulty on the part of the president, as the proceedings had partaken much of the nature of a love feost, entailing considerable confusion, the following committees were appoint ed: Music Smith, H. G., Burnett, Bar ker. Uniforms and torches Taylor, F. J., Dunbar, A., Prael, H. Banners Stockton, Cutbirth. Parker. Finance Hellborn, Dunbar, F., Chut ter. To organise outside clubs Gray, Cur tis, Worsley. The executive committee was In structed to write to the Hon. T. T. Geer and engage hitn to make a speech in Astoria on the 24th Inst. On motion of Judge Gray a club yell or cheer was adopted' to be given on all occasions under direction of the captain of the club. After the meeting adjourned the young men present arranged a meet ing tomorrow night for the purpose of organizing a Young Men's McKlnley Club. They will probably meet In the court house. Due notice will be given. One of the most notable events of the day was the visit to Astoria of Mr. Max Pracht, of Ashland, the well known politician. Mr. Pracht Is the representative In Oregon of the Na-1 p THE RETURNS FROM MAINE tlonal Protective Tariff League of Chi cago, and came here to look, ths groun over. The results of hU visit t much of a surprise to himself as to the local politicians. He bruoght with him 250 McKlnley buttons for distribution. In company with C. J. i Curtis he vialted East Astoria and from Partial Returns the RcpubllcHS there distributed 110 buttons, and If pi....u. ps n he hail had them could have put out ' iUT'"tJ 0lCr another hundred. Out of 200 or 250 men , 46,000. visited, only nine declined to wear the ' buttons. Fishermen, workmen In the I canneries, saw mills, merchants and CONFIDENCE NOW RESTORED clerks, were all anxious to get a badge. ' The same story was repeated In I'nlon , town, where 100 buttons were given out . 7 1 ,ne mluwkn u Brwwn by the amonr the fishermen, workmen a i w th Tld Betting-Chairman various employes of the canneries and different factories.

While Bryan was adressing the audience, horsemen were seen entering the gates W'hen the hand shaking was reached, there was a great rush. The delegation from Somerset Pa., over 2,000 strong, was approaching, and It was feared there would not be time for all to reach McKlnley. The Pennsylvanlana had five bands and many banners and emblems. This delegation of far mers came over 250 miles. The Hon.
