In accept Ing the prmldency Mr. Depew said: "The conditions upon this annual mu Ing make my elevation to a position of president of the club one of peculiar lg niflcance and gratification. The differ. ences In our party are more acute ami tntvnse than they have been In a quarter of a century- They found expression at the polls at the last election, and are cul. minuting In hostile organisations. The republican, of NVw York are not alone In these troubles. They are found in Ohio, Maryland and other states. An these warring element, are conspicuously and ably represented In our club. That they should have united and unanimous ly elected me president I. at once a dis tinction and Imposes a great responsi bility. It Is fuU of isugesUors ono prophetle"pT!Srale of happier times for the future. "It demonstrate, that republicans can geit together and when events are suffi ciently marked they will discover a method of par' tmlty and party hur mcmy." Mr. Depow spoke on the growing Influ ence of clubs and of the lnvrvaatng ten dency of statesmen to come to New York to get In touch with the great life of the country and then epoke ot the future of the republican club, saying: Our democratlo friends are building a club whose avowed object la to have New York to control the democratic putty 4n state and country. Our purpose la this elut) should be broader. It'shauM have to be hi this club the representative and the bMelllRont rejiresentuUve of republican opinion of thu whole country, republican opinion crystallising in the judgment and discussion ot intelligent republicans from every part of the country. "Our members should be numbered by the thousands; chould be limited orjy by the boundaries of the republic, of the United States, and our otijtvt should be the home where the senator or the con gressman, the business man, the lawyer, tho 'artisan, the labor leader from all over the country can find hospitality and congenial minds and our republican olub should be known as the national repub.
