NATIONAL UNION REPUBLICAN CLUB Prothinent Speakers and What They Had to Say. COLUMBIACOMMANDERY The eighty-eighth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was appropriate- ly celebrated last night by the National Union Republican Club of this city. There was an enthusiastic audience, and it en- Joyed the orations @f distinguished speak- ers. The exercises took place at Grand Army Hall. A large portrait of Lincoln hung above the rostrum. The following were the officers of the evening, Dr. A. P. Fardon presiding, and Col. Wm. A. Cook calling the meeting to order: President, Simon Wolf; vice presidents, Col. Charles P. Lin- coln, A. M. Clapp, Alphonso Hart, Dr. A. P. Fardon, Col. Wm. A. Cook, Col. W. L. Bramhall, H. D. Walbridge, Gen. 8. 8. Bur- dett, E. M. Dawson, Col. H. D. Norton, W. C. Dodge, J. D. Croissant, O. D. Barrett, Col. R. G. Rutherford, L. M. Saunders, J. W. Douglass, Dr. C. B. Purvis, Geo. E. Emmons, Arthur Stabler, Major. William Oscar Roome, W. F. Thomas, Benj. P. Davis, Edw. Sutherland, Col. J. H. Dewees, Joseph Trainor, B. M. Elliott, R. B. Buck- ley, Frank M. Evans; secretaries, B. F. Crawshaw and W. B. Reilly. Fresident Wolf referred to the memories of the evening in introducing the first speaker, Representative D. K. Watson of Ohio. Mr. Wolf said that as one born on other shores, he wanted to say that there is not a German or a Hebrew living who does not reverence the memory of Lincoin. Mr. Wolf spoke feelingly of the death of Lewis Clephane, who, he said, was an inti- mate friend of the martyred President. Representative Watson. The tribute of Representative Watson to Lincoin’s memory was an eloquent one. He reviewed the history of this wonderful and great man, telling of the stuff of which he was made. In closing his speech, and in teuching upon the fact that Lincoln was a man of the people, and despised vulgar dis- play, Mr. Watson said: “If his soul was Icoking on this earth from the ramparts of heaven, he would shudder at the expendi- ture of $300,000 for a ball like that given in New York.” Watson characterized and said that if this republic ever shakes, it will be from the top crust and not from the bottcm. In considering the Kfe of Lincoln. Mr. Watson did not attempt rate the history of the republican which he said was synonymous Watson drew a sketch of the two mans and of Blaine, who once li gether in Ohio and knew each other a young men. These were among the great products of the republican party after the death of Lincoln, Mr. Hull's Tribute. Representative Hull of Iowa followed Mr. Watson. An incident of Mr. Hull's speech which was warmly received was an attack on the arbitration treaty between England and this country. He asserted that if Lin- coln were alive he would oppose that treaty, which Mr. Hull did not think this country needed. Mr. Hull spoke of the fact that during the civil war Lincoln en- gineered the ship of state of this country to prevent foreign complications. Mr. Hull spoke of the great names added to the his- tory of the century about to end, and in the foremost rank was that of Lincoln, whose name was linked with Washington. Washington he likened as the father of his republic and Lincoln as its savior. He com- pared the influenzes operating on the lives of each of these men—Washington’s birth under affluent circumstances and Lincoln's in poverty. Each had risen by the power of their abilities. Referring again to the Anglo-American treaty, Mr. Hull said that the United States did ‘not need to put its destinies into the hands of another nation. It did not need King Oscar to decide upon its actions and to say when it was right or wrong. It had been able to always do the right without interference, and it had always been gole to defend the right and punish the wrong. Similar Conflicts. Representative Graff of Illinois took pleasure in narrating the history of his state, which was part of the history of Lincoln and of the country. The speaker narrated the events of great public mo- ment between 1852 and 1865, apd the pari played in those events by Lincoln and the state of Illinois. Mr. Graff said he con- sidered the campaigns of 1500 and 18% similar in many respects. In 1860 the fight was for the perpetuity of the American government. It was the same fight in 1806, In each campaign the public conscience had been appeaied to, and had proven right. In neither campaign would the republican party recognize that there were classes be- tween which there was an_ irrepressible conflict, as had been alleged in the last campaign. Other Speakers. Representative Gibson of Tennessee spoke next. He touched upon the part played in the history. of this country by his state, and especially by the men of the mountains of Tennessee. Mr. Gibson’s tribute to Lin- coln was eloquent. He asserted that no other man of the time could have dealt with the slavery problem as successfully as Lincoln, who was kind, but firm. Representative Thad. M. Mahon of Penn- sylvania was the last speaker. He dwelt on the humorous side of Lincoln, and his remarks were enthusiastically ‘received. He told many stories of the Pennsylvania campaign of the confederates. Maj. Beebe’s Campaign Club sang nu- merous songs during the evening. They were weil rendered. Before adjourning the club passed reso- lutions in honor of Lewis Clephane, who Was an active member of the club. “He’ was,” say the resolutions, “one of the ear- liest and truest republicans connected with the national organization of the republican’ party; his devotions to its principals and teachings never faltered. He stood up he- roically in defense of his principles, even’ in this city, when rudely assailed, with others, and threatened with personal vio- lence. As a. public officer, filling various posts of honor, and as a man of business habits and pursuits, his services were in- valuable, and his life is without a stain. Much more might be said in reference to his noble, devoted and correct life.” Col: bin Commandery. Over 300 guests and members of Columbia Commandery, Military Order of the Loyal Legion, celebrated the anniversary at a banquet at the Arlington Hotel. The occa- sion was one long te be remembered by all present. The set toasts were “Our Country,” “The Memory of Abraham Lincoln,” “The Vic- tories of Peace,” “Our Sister Republics” and “‘Decéased Companions,” the last being drunk in silence, standing. The nses: were by Representative Dalzell, Minister Pioda of Switzerland, Minister Francis Hatch of Hawaii and the national treas- urer of the legion. Se ee Denth of Mrs, Margaret Close.
