Whereas, The Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quuy, the junior senator from lhl stale,
ix belli prominently mentioned x a pos
sible cunUUIate for president of the l'iiite.1
Htates and the same Ih meeting with trie
endorsement of the party leaders of the
state who realise that by hi nomination
the Republican party will have us lis
Ktandard bearer one who has ever lieeu
foremost in advancing the Interests of his
party, a staunch Republican, and a thor
ough advocate of sound money, a leader
who snatched victory from the hands of
the enemy and gave us one of the safest
and most conservative chief executives
In the history of the government, lion,
llnjumln Hurrison. Therefor, be It
Ilesolved, By the members of the Re
publican league of the West Side of the
city of Scranton that we most heartily
approve of the efforts being made by the
friends of the senator and pledge our
earnest support to co-operate with them
In any honorable means that will tend to

The resolution was advanced by K. E.
Uobuthan and was unanimously adopt
ed. Attorney Charles E. Olvor, presi
dent of the local league, provided nt the
public meeting. He made a brief intro
ductory address, and at the close culled
upon William Dawson, Republican can
didate for city assessor, who was pres
ent, for remarks. Mr. Dawson talked
on the campaign for a few minutes.
The impression created was a favor
able one. Major Warren stirred much
enthusiasm by his eloquent speech.
Polities is a warfare, not chance, he
said. We must work to -win. On this
principle the Republican league was
founded, and Its Influence was shown
soon after its organization by the elec
tion of 28 out of .10 Republican con
gressmen, and," continued the speaker,
"with Matt Quay in the lists for presi
dent, we can carry the entire thirty."
This was received with applause. Ma
jor Warren scouted the idea that the
Republican party was at the beck and
will of a one-man power. He referred
to Tammany as an example of Dem
ocratic method. "The Republican party
represents the bone and sinew of
American manhood." The speaker
pointed to Abraham Lincoln as an ex
ample of Republican mettle. He came
from the ranks, as also did Thomas B.
Reed. Major Warren talked for awhile
on national politics. He advised the
voters not to be discouraged by the
"cut the ticket" talk. E. K. Rohathan
made a brief address, followed by a
viaduct talk by Councilman Oliver.

To live, love and die I will choose the
