Organized Republican Clubs Snow
Membership Of Eighty Thous-
and --- Letter from Gen.
eral Harrison.

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 1.-THE state
convention of republican clubs met ut
Saratoga last week. President R. R. HI T.
ferd, of Buffalo, in the chair. President
James P. Foster, of the national league
of republican clubs, was invited to IT, =
platform and spoke briefly. There wer ;
10000 school districts represented. 1T
was proposed to organize republican
club in every one Of them, which are
twenty or more republican votes. In this
way the question at issue would he
brought directly home to the people.
President Hefferd, following Foster, all
dressed the con 7ention. He outlined the
possibilities of liberal education and the
republicanism of the people by the work
of these league clubs. The organization
was not projected to aid any political as
pirations or to raise campaign funds.
These were issues to be met by repub]i-
can clubs. New clubs should be organ
ized and a link should be thus made be-
tween the state and national committees
and voters. The standards of citizenship
should be lifted, the assimilation of the
herds of foreigners should cause study.
The excess of votes to congressman north
over the votes represented by congress-
men should be remedied. The republi-
car party was lauded
BECAUSE OF IT'S RECORD,
And the convention was congratulated
upon what the speaker deemed its bright
future. The committee on resolutions
reported a resolution enthusiastically rati-
fying the nomination of Harrison and
Morton, heartily approving the national
platform, and also appeals to all citizens
to cooperate in organizing and securing
victory for the national and state tickets
of the republican party. The convention
chose four delegates at large to the ma
tional convention of republican clubs at
Chicago.
The report of the secretary shows that
there are $50 republican clubs in the
state, which aggregate membership OF
$4,000 to $4,000. Adjourned till to-mor-
row.
A ratification meeting followed, at
which speeches were made by E. o. VOL
colt, of Colorado, Senator Evarts and ex-
Senator Warner Miller, of New York, and
Others. Letters of regret from General
Harrison and Levi F. Morton were re
'ceived. After indorsing the republican
club organization,
GENERAL HARRISON SAYS.
4'rhe democratic party has heretofore
loudly professed its competency to deal
with the tariff question. 1t has now, for
tunately for the country, been compelled
to formulate schedule which is neces-
sarily definite and incapable OF that
double meaning 50 familiar in it's plat
form and resolutions. The issues now
made are very sharp and clear. and the
American people will adjudge them in
favor Of American interest and govern
ment by majorities carefully ascertained
and honestly counted.

Use and Care of Chamois Skins.

There are so many so-caIled chamois
skins N the market. that look and
work so near TO goatskins, remarks the
Carriage Monthly, that we are often
ist loss to secure what Is really the gen
tuine article. 4 true skin, If properly
cured, Is one OF the most useful, and,
at theissne time. the most pleasant thing
to have N our possession; we are,
therefore, bound TO Il! and secure one.
The best We have used. so far, are
those which resemble the parchment
order, there Is little or no lint On them.
and they seem to be ell that can be de-
sirad N lifting the water when drying
Il / great ma-v use an oil skin We
pre-s< the other, Is she oiled prevents
the chsmois from leaving 3 perfectly
dry surface.
A,chamois skin should never be left
N the water after using, but should De
svrung out and hung up 20 dry, spread
out carefully, so as to leave no
wrinkles; neither should il be used TO
wipe of color, as We have seen some
painters do when stripping or touching
up; al paint stains not only make
great hard spots On the skin, but help
20 wear Il out sooner
There is another thing that should
be avoided IN using the chamois, and
that Is, wiping the face and hands upon
1t when washing them L was never
intended that Il should be used as
towel; there IS always more or less
soap remaining On the arms OF about the
neck, that Is Eiped OF on 20 the skin
which clogs Il up and causes It TO be-
come greasT. You should never put
chamOIs skin into warm water, not sc
least N 2 greater degree than luke
warm: If you do, you VIII find It viii 81
curl up and become tough and thick,
Useless for any purpose you may wish
TO put L 70.
Now, II you should find = chanois
skin that, TO all appearance, has become
ruined By grease, paint stains, or has
been used for towel until It's original
color has Lean lost. and Il looks like s
dirty old rag, and you are on the point
OF throwing It away, stop a moment,
ana see II We cannot, n measure,
bring II hack so as TO get good wear out
OF il before We finally discard Il.
The plan We have adopted, when We
were so unfortunate s. TO find one OF
that description, was 70 take q bucket
OF clean water, and, making II middling
strong with ammonia, We have allowed
the skin TO soak II Il over night; the
next morning We have rinsed It out II
pure water; after that, We use plenty
OF pure white CASTLE soap and water
The result WIS that We secured
very good skin again, snd used 1t for
some considerable time. Il didn't
take very long to do the whole business,
probably a quarter Of an hour or so.
It more than paid for the trouble, for
It really was 4 great deal better than
when first used, as It became, through
that process. what We might call
thoroughly broken IL that means free
from lint or other impurities.
