FRONT RANK VIEW OF THE FAMOUS COOK COUNTY REPUBLICAN MARCHING CLUB.

HISTORY OF
THE COOK COUNTY REPUBLICAN MARCHING CLUB.
HEADQUARTERS GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL-OFFICE ROOM 44-126 WASHINGTON ST.
The Cook County Republican Marching Club during its six years of existence has succeeded in excelling all other organiza- tions of its kind, not alone in the historic state of Illinois, but any state west of New York.
The trip which the club made while still in its infancy, to the memorable national convention at St. Louis in 1896, was its first advent in national politics. The fine appearance made on that occasion by such a grand body of well drilled men, caused such wide spread praise and comment that it was heralded broadcast by correspondents as the finest organization of its kind that ever visited St. Louis, on similar occasions. It set the pace for the state and national committee by holding three large meetings en route to St. Louis at Decatur, Taylorville and Litchfield, a lesson in campaign work which was subsequently adopted by both the national and state committees. During the recent campaign it was exceedingly active, appearing in the monster Sound Money parade Chicago Day, and escorting the present Governor, John R. Tanner, during his campaign to De Kalb, where it was ac- corded a most enthusiastic reception, and its members were the guests of Col. Isaac Elwood.
The inauguration of Governor John R. Tanner at Springfield witnessed the first appearance in years of a Cook County Repub- lican organization in a body to do honor to the incoming chief magistrate. The appearance of the Cook County Republican Marching Club on the streets of Springfield was the signal for long and loud applause, and its participation in the inaugural cere- monies was a source of pleasure to the Governor, and the citi- zens' committee in charge expressed their extreme gratification at the club's appearance.
59
The magnificent pageant, during the Peace Jubilee in this city in October, 1898, was the occasion of much comment on account of the appearance of the marching club. With over five hundred men in line in full uniform, it was an inspiration to Republicans, and helped materially, with subsequent turnouts of the club dur- ing the campaign, to bring victory to the party at the polls in November.
The club was organized at the Great Northern Hotel, January 19, 1894. The objects of which are to maintain a well-drilled body of men to march at the requestof the central Republican organiza- tion, and to act as an escort to conventions, and to prominent Republicans who visit this city, as well as participating in inaug- ural parades of the state and nation.
Any Republican possessing the necessary qualifications may become an active member of the club, providing he is a resident of Cook County.
The club is entirely free from factions and its constitution prohibits its endorsing anyone for elective office until he shall have first been formally nominated by a regular Republican con- vention.
The club in its short career has made for itself a record uni- excelled by any similar organization in the history of Illinois politics. The annual picnic and ball which the club gives, has long since become recognized as great events each year. The club had the pleasure of escorting President-elect William Mc- Kinley, Hon. Thomas B. Reed, Hon. Shelby M. Cullom, General Hastings, of Pennsylvania, Col. Evans, of Tennessee, and Sen- ator Mason.
The Cook County Republican Marching Club extended invita- tions to other Republican organizations to join in with them in the parade on fall festival day Oct. 9, 1899. The club on that day turned out fourteen hundred men in full dress uniform, among whom were many of the leading Republicans of Cook County. It required three bands of music to supply the Cook County Republican long line of marchers on that occasion with national airs. It is almost needless to state that the club carried off the laurels of this memorable parade.
The officers of the club to whom belong a great deal of credit are as follows : E. M. Craig, President; F. G. Ewald, Fred A. Busse and George Berz, Vice-Presidents; Capt. W. F. Knoch,

JOHN M. SMYTH.
CHAIRMAN OF THE COOK COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE- WHO AS CAMPAIGN MANAGER HAS NEVER KNOWN DEFEAT.
There is not a member of the Republican party in Cook County around whose name more luster is entwined than that of John M. Smyth, the man who as campaign manager of that grand old party in Cook County has never known defeat.
The announcement that John M. Smyth has assumed the leadership in a campaign, is sufficient to enthuse every Repub- lican worker in Cook County, and to the candidates on the ticket it seems equivalent to success. The superior ability which Mr. Smyth possesses in this respect has more than once resulted in snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
Mr. Smyth is not in any sense of the word a politician. He never even aspires to be a "boss," and yet if any man in the Republican party in Cook County has won that right he is the man. In politics he is a master mind -- the quiet man who works- and the one to whom much honor and credit is due for the success of the Republican party in Illinois.
Mr. Smyth's mammoth furniture house on the West Side demands so much of his attention, as also his various other extensive business interests, that it is only with considerable reluctance that he yields to the repeated calls of his party to manage its campaigns.
Coincident with the growth and prosperity of Chicago, came ·
the prosperity of John M. Smyth, and his name has long since become a household word throughout the city.
The familiar and famous "Town Market" of John M. Smyth & Co., is a grand monument to his fine qualities as member of the commercial world of a great city. His strictly honorable business methods, and his kind and generous treat- ment of the poor, and needy, has won for him a place in the hearts of the people of Chicago not soon to be forgotten.

But there were other demands for the talents of a man whose broad mind and successful policies have done so much for the people. He was sought and soon recognized as a wise counsel and possessor of rare ability as an organizer; he answered the appeals of his party, and in many stormy and hard fought battles led his columns to victory.
Mr. Smyth is not in politics for gain, but purely for party success. He never sought public office, but the office has often sought him. He served his party as alderman from the old 9th ward, now the 18th, from 1878 to 1882, where he made a record which reflected credit on himself and the party that elected him. It was shown by his course in the city council that as an official, he was not serving his party alone, but the best interests of the whole people of Chicago. He also served twice as presidential elector, and could have had the nomination for mayor at various times, when the nomination was equivalent to election, but Mr. Smyth preferred to remain an humble citizen looking after his immense business interests, therefore devoting much of his time to the comforts and happiness of his wife and family of whom he is exceedingly proud.
John M. Smyth was born on the ocean near the banks of New Foundland, July 6, 1843, while his parents were on their way to the United States from their native country (Ireland); his father was Michael K., and his mother was Bridget (Mc- Donnel) Smyth. The family first settled at Quebec, but later removed to Montreal in which city they lived for five years. They came to Chicago in 1848, and settled on the North Side, here John M. Smyth spent his boyhood's happy days. Michacl K. Smyth, the father of the subject of this sketch was a sur- veyor, and in the old days when parts of Chicago were being mapped out by the trustees Mr. Michael K. Smyth surveyed lands for that noted pioneer and real estate owner William B. Ogden, the first mayor of Chicago. Mr. Smyth was at one time offered what was known as the Erie Square block of land between Kinzie and Michigan, Market and Franklin streets. He refused to accept same because it would take over a year's. labor to level the high bank which was upon it. The property is worth $500,000, or more, to-day.
