The first public meeting held for the purpose of organizing the McKinley Prosperity Club, which now has over 400 charter members, was held in the court room last night. James N. Templer was made chairman of the meeting and R. L Williamson secretary. There were no speeches, Mr. Templer's voice not permitting, and the meeting got right down to business and was very enthusiastic. John E. Reed, J. C. Eiler, John W. McKinley, Lee Coffeen and W. S. Richey were selected as a committee to prepare by laws to be reported at the next meeting, at which time officers will be selected. The Iron and Steel Workers McKinley Glee Club gave some fine vocal selections and were cheered lustily. The club is composed of the following gentlemen, some of whom were not present last night.

Leader, George L. Williams; first tenors, Tom Jones, James Mace and Thomas Finnity; second tenors, William Wilburns and Samuel Gaffert; first bass, Samuel Hollis, Joseph Rosbottam and George Richards; second bass, William Herbert, David Morgan and Thomas Perkins.

Ad invitation was given for new sign­ers to the roll of honor and the list was increased a hundred or more and is now as below published. The meeting ad­journed to Republican headquarters where all were surprised at the elegant arrangement and decorations there.
