I am glad at the recent indications.of the confidence the people have in the republican party, as shown by the election in Maine and activities in other places. . ‘The late unpleasantness has shown the certain end of dissention, democratic success, and we should find it profitable to our party’s future to take advantage of our past experience and to avoid mistakes that may have been made hitherto.

Delos Dean and Emmet Laßue ran a close race for secretary, the former winning by a majority of 5/ A. F. Long was then chosen treasurer. Mayor Meyers then asked for the floor and stated that he was not a candidate for another term and would not be under any circumstances.
