Ellen Foster the renowned female advocate of Iowa, on the subject of forming Woman's Christian Republican National league.
 The afternoon session was brief and infor- mal Many members of the committee ab- sented themselves to give room to the delega- tion from the Republican National league, who had been in session all the morning at POP Fifth avenue The delegation consisting of twenty members, came to the rooms of the national committee headed by w. w. Johnson DreSideut of the Maryland Stata league, and A. B. Humphrey, secretary of the National league. The first speaker was J. M Thurston, of Nebraska, who was the temporary chairman of the Republican na- tional convention. The tenor of his speech was that the league should be under the guidance of the national committee if suc- cess was desired this fall. Chairman Clark son welcomed his fellow Republicans of the league in a ringing speech. Other speakers followed-Messrs. Payne, of Wisconsin, of the committee; Humphrey, of New York, of the league, and Messrs. Rollin, of New Hamp- shire, and Goodloe, of Kentucky, who are members of the league and the committee On motion of MT. Cavanagh the executive committee of the committee was empowered to confer with the committee of the league looking toward hearty cooperation this fall and when this was settled Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was introduced by Gen. Chase, of Rhode Island, who had escorted her in. The Republicans received her with hand clapping and bestowed generous applause upon her re- marks as she proceeded. She read from manuscript, She spoke for half an hour, and the essence of her remarks was the necessity of defending the homes in the country from the steady encroachment of the rum power. A vote of thanks was accorded her, and the subject on which she spoke was | referred to the executive committed. The evening session was the exciting ses- sion of the day. The committee on perma- nent organization handed in its report, but it was not adopted without striking shallow places. The committee unanimously recom- mended that Senator Quay be chairman and Senator Fassett be secretary of the national | committee and of the executive committee.
 Committeeman Cavanaugh, of Washington, l was not disposed to yield these nominations l to the east without argument, and he argued | that the west should be favored.
 When the report of the committee on the executive committee was reached there was an excited discussion. The only member on the committee that represented the south was l Goodloe, of Kentucky. The other members
