CINCINNATI Oct. 1.-The Irish-Ameri-
can Republican League Convention reas-
sembled at II O'Clock this morning. The
committees MT being ready to report the
convention adjourned until after the
Blaine reception this afternoon.
This afternoon the convention spent
considerable time in selecting a perma-
nent Chairman. A. L. Morrison was the
chOIce OF the committee. A motion was
made TO substitute the name Of Col NJ
Boland, but MIR. Morrison was finally
elected by majority Of four. ResoIu-
tons were adopted ratifying the nOmipa-
ton or Blaine: declaring unanimousiv
their opposition TO free trade: that the
doctrines OF the Democratic party on this
subject are inimical TO the best interest
Of this republic and in the highest degree
advantageous to England and other
manufacturing countries of Europe.
They further declare that ''the American
people are quite competent to control
their domestic affairs, and need
no lesson IN political economy from the
government from which they had to wrest
their liberty with arms and against whose
cruisers they had to dght during the late
rebellion. 1t is essential to reject the DO
litical economy which England seeks to
thrust upon this country, as it was to de-
feat her armed forces, whether they fought
under her own flag or that of the COnfed-
eracy." They declare also in favor Of the
Monroe doctrine, and heartily indorse
Blaine's humane statesmanshiD aud truly
republican effort to preserve the republics
OF South America by his prOpOsedlc0ngress
in Washington.

Res0kced That the attemptof any European
n eol fftaftf TO n
canal, or any other water way across this con-
tinent, should be resisted to the utmost bv
every Republican on the American continent.

Cleveland was made against the interests Of
the irish am Industrial classes Of this cOun-
try. ln a manner insulting the labor interests
and the Irish, and we, as Republicans and
Democrats. alike protest against his nOmina-
ton as an insult To all those people.

'PrOtectiOn to American industry at
home and to American citizens abroad"
