Ho detaled the euccesues of the Bepublican party, which bad done so much for the pation, and said if it shonld fall into bnd hands it would be & sorry day for tho contry. The party was or- gani to efoct great reforms, and ought to Buataln its old prestige. There were certein questions which would have to be determined in the national compuirn on which Republicans Wwere unfortunately diviled. Formstance, the intereets of the public required sn hcnest cor- rency; tho prosperity of the country was un- questionabiy retarded by our prezent ourTency, which was below tnzt of the world. Tne great focd nod cotton producta of the United States were sold on a gold basis, Wiereas the products we consumed ware fixed upon another basis, which had s disconraging effect upon the commercial prosperity of the conotry. Troe prosperity, iodeed, would not begin until our money was of equal valus with thet of the world. He was gled the Repoblican party hiad taken a proper stand on this great is- sne, 20d he trusted they would sink individual prejudices and work to bring atont the noeded reform in the nationel currency. Next vear would determiue which party was to control the country in the fature. If the Reputlicans were defeated it would be a sorry day for the people. There was o doubt but that tha pros- perity of the couutry demanded the continued ascendancy cf tbe Ropublican varty unon pure principies. Ir concluding, he expressed his bo- Lief that they woutd be vi us next fall. NE. GLORGE BCNEIDER folfowed with a short speach, showing the many defects in the Democratic platform, and the suc- cessful efforta the Ropublican party bad made in regeneratiog the nation. He pointed out the fallacies of the inflatiou schome, and expresscd s firm cooviction that real and lasting prosper- 1ty would result from placing the currency on 8 gold basia. Tho ruad to resumntion was & hard one, no doubt, but it was, notwithstanding, tho only road to proaperity and the salvation of the country. It was tho Quty of Congreas to re- peal the Legal-Tender sct and to cnt down the cxpeoses of eovernment, and 8necie paymen:s would soon foliow. Mr. ider theo made some sensiblo remarks oo punty of administra- tion. and said they shounld show the world lh;e‘vei would not ba tolerated in the Republican Daty. A Gon. Thompson was calied for. In a short address he sgid he Liad aiwava been s Republi- can, a8 ho thought tbe party contained the greater par of tho virtue, iolegrity, and honesty of tae country. Mr. Jobp H. Clengh and’Mr. Murry Nelson were also requested to speak, but they were wiLing to givo way to otber critors, ME. C. GRKELEY, ia tho coures of au effcctive speech, said during Andrew Jackson's regimo there was 8 surplus of goldin tha country, but the Democratic party had 85 degenerated that they wished to set up the rag-baby. Chicago wes the place for all good refors to bo at home. and he suggested that this Club should work to bring horest, uncor- ruptible men into oflice, both municipnl and national. It such men wera selected for the ad- m:ivistration of alfairs, there would bs no Bab- cock tnals or an avalacchs of trouble such ae would f21l upon tho citv in a fow daye. Why was Henry Wilson £o grestly honored? Becanse be wes industrions first, and honest all the time. [Applause) ilesing and other Op- peaitionists were at work now on on incijient party, and were watchinz for failings in or disorganization of the Republican party 1o order to s-ring it uvon tie poblic. He there- foro urged thom to work herd in tbe iaterests of the rarty. and make those inicrests the in- terests of honesty and parity. Some converzation en=uad as o the method of MUSTING THE EXPSSSES OF THE CLUS. M. Kolson moved that every citizen of the ward conid beccme s member” of the Clab by signing the constituticn and paying £5. S[n Schueider moved as an amendment that the sdmission-fes be €1. Anyove nat paying would not bo excludsd from the discussion. but iho contiol of the Club sbould belong to the acinal members. Alr. Nelsou sccepted the amendments. Mr. K. Hawos suggested that a committee be appoted to prepare a short address to eend to all the Republican citizens of the ward i order to interest them in tho Clab befors fixiug upon a1y fee. Mr. Clough remarised that the orgsnization at present wax but tmpevtect, acd he fuvored sub- mitrine the matter to a committes. This suggestion met with & general support, s2d, on motion, the followine were appointed a committos to take the sudbject 1 hand: John H. Clough, 8,C. Cook, Kirk Hawes, George Scbobider. and Murry Nelson. Mr. Nelson then moved that it was the sensa of tho meeting thera shou!d be a membership fee. Carried.
