MEMORIAL ASp PETITION.
Hon. W. G Donnan, Of Iowa. presented me-
mortal and petition from the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union IL bears the sig
natures of the officers of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union in Is States and Territories
and reads as follows.
n 10 the National C0HytHt0H Of He Rcpudiicda
putg' We, members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of the United
states, herein represented by the
signatures of our officers, believe that
while the poisonous habits OF n nation can be
largely restrained by an appeal to the intellect,
through argument To the heart through Sympa-
thy, and to the conscience through the motives
of religion, the traffic in those pOisOns will be
best controlled by a prohibtory law. We believe
the teachings of science and experience and the
Golden Rule, combine to testify against the
traffic in alcoholic liquors MS drink and the
homes of America which are the cit0delS of
patriotism, purity and happiness have no en-
emy so relentless as the American saloon. There
fore, citizens of the United States irrespective
of sect or section, but having deeply at heart
the projection OF our homes, We do hereby re-
spectfully and earnestly petition You to advocate
and to adopt such measures rs are requisite to
the end that the prohibition of the importation,
expectation, manufacture and sale of alcoholic
beverages may become an integral part of the
National Constitution, and that your party can
didate shall be by character and public pledge
committed 70 Il national pr0hlbitory constitu-
tiOnal amendment.

THE TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP CONTEST.
When Powell Clayton was selected by the Nal
uonal Committee for temporary Chairman, some
members OF that committee voted for him on
the personal ground that he long had been
connected with the committee representa-
tive from Arkansas. and without knowing that
it involved any political meaning whatever.
Otherwise the contest that CnSucd would have
been avoided in the selection of some other
member. Those responsible for bringing Clay
ton forward had not calculated on the Conven-
tion overruling the action of the committee as
the preccdentS were all for approving such
nominations The Independents decided to
make an issue on this selection, and formed
combination with the Arthur men for that pur-
pose. The votes cast largely on this issue
but not all of them, as some of the men voted
for Clayton in order to sustain the committee,
and some Blaine men voted for Lynch, as he
claimed TO be for Blaine. However the EdmundS
men very jubilant, and claim that the field
against Blaine is strong enough TO dictate the
nominee ON the other hand, the Blaine men
say there are Arthur men who viii 90 to Blaine
if they see no chance tor their iilvorite and
that their vote has shown them to be as strong
as has heretofore been conceded; that in fact
there are }l2 votes in II compact body.
