A general exchange of ideas, jubilation over the results of the recent election, and joyful anticipation of future victories that all believed were to be the sure result of the present conditions, were the order of the occasion. Much speech making was indulged in and a good many “pipes” were laid for nominations of State offices in the campaign of 1894. The corridors of the Denison Hotel were crowded and the rooms of the State committee were literally packed. The principal speeches of the occasion were made by Hon. C. W. Fairbanks, Calvin Cowgill and Charles B. Landis, of the Delphi Journal. The meeting was a great success from a Republican point of view.
