money, protection for the laborer, and
the maintenance of the credit of the
Cnlted States. 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
