Henry L. Pearce, of Massachusetts,,

ResoIued, That the subject of the revised ap-
portlonment Of delegates to future National

W. G. DOnnan, of Iowa. presented a
memorial petition of the National Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union. It
bears the signatures of the officers of Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Unions in
forty-eight States and Territories, and
reads as follows:
To tie National ConUenti0a of the Republican
PdTtg: We, members of the Woman's Chris
tlan temperance Union of the States herein
represented by the signatures of our officers,
believe that while the poison habit of the ma
tlon can be largely restrained by an
argument to the heart, through sympathy 10
the conscience, through motives of religion,
the trathc IN these polsons will be best con-
troiled by prohibitory law. We believe that
the teachings of science, experience and the
golden rule combine to testify against the
traffic in alcoholic liquors and drink in the
homes of America-which are the citadels of
patriotism and happiness-and have no enemy
so as relentless as the American saloon. There
fore citizens of the United States, ire
spectlve Of sect or condition, but having
deeply at heart the protection Of our home,
we hereby earnestly petition You to advocate
and to adopt such measures as are requisite,
TO the end that prohibition of the Importation,
expectation, manufacture and sale of alco-
hollc beverages may become an integral part
OF the national constitution, and that your
party candidate shall be by character and
public pledge committed to a national pro-
hibitory constitutional amendment.

Irish National League of America to present

OF realty in the United States by foreigners.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VOTE.
After carefully studying the vote upon
GuS qu0eUlOh vi teLHpoTdIy OndlIuaIl, IL
does not appear to have been really test
of strength, as some delegates voted for
Clayton with the object of sustaining the
action of the National Committee, leav-
ing other questions to be decided,
while others voted for Lynch
with a view to it's effect on the colored
vote. The Blaine and Logan men after
the vote estimated that they had greater
strength than they had before, while the
adherents of their opponents and the
dark horses seemed to feel satisfied with
the position which they held between the
main cOntesting forces.
