called the body to order and Rev. Dr..
Fulton of Allegheny offered prayer. At
ter an explanation of the object and pur-
pose of the league by the president, a
committee on enrolment was appointed,
and during its absence there was some
speech-making. Representative bravo
of Beaver, Rev. DR.. Conrad of Phila-
delphia, and others were among the
speakers. The chair appointed commit
tees on permanent organization, reso-
buttons and finance, and a recess was
taken.
AT the afternoon session the commit
tee on permanent organization reported
as follows: President, a. J Kynett,
Philadelphia; vice-presldents, A. j t..
Ricketts,, Wilkes Barre, A. n. Rankin
Allegheny; secretary, Wellington q.
Loucks, Philadelphia; treasurer, w.
w. Wallas, PHILADELPHIA. The report
was adopted.
The platform adopted recited the evils
growing out of the liquor traffic and de-
clares that the constitutional prohibitory
amendment failed in June last
because of the unfair political
methods of those opposed to it.
It therefore concludes that such verdict
cannot be accepted as final, but as the
constitution cannot be amended for five
years to come, it favors the most re-
strictive legislation and the enforcement
of the present policy of prohibition
in the counties which voted
therefor. The league will favor
the election of candidates for public office
without respect to party, who will best
serve its principles, and it urges the or
ganization of Union Prohibition leagues
in every city, county and town in the
state. Over a thousand dollars was
raised before adjournment at O'Clock
and more was contributed tonight at
mass meeting, which was addressed by
Hon. Albert Griffin of New York, B. S.
Christi of Pittsburg and others.

SARATOGA, n. Y Sept. 25.-The
New York Republican state convention
reassembled at four o 'clock. The COM
mittee on permanent organization re-
ported for president the name of Geo. B i.
Sloan Of OswegO. Hon. q. SlOat Fas-
sett of Chemung and Col. E. F. Shop
ard, of New York, conducted Mr.. Sloan
to the chair. Committee on resolutions,
through Hon. Carroll Smith of Syracuse,
made its report as follows:
The Republicans of New York rejoice
in the restoration of Republican supre-
macy in the nation, and take pride in
the part this state took in that result.
We congratulate President Harrison
upon the success of his administration
and declare our perfect confidence in its
integrity, efficiency and patriotism. We
reaffirm the national Republican plat
form of 1888 and emphasize our approval
of these doctrines, protection to Ameri-
can industries and American labor, ex-
tension of American trade, and the fos-
tering of American shipping interests,
liberal and equitable pension laws and
discrimination of preference of union
veterans in appointments IN public office.

ItSlOEGllOu Oh Inc 6lHCt6uCJ III Inc postal
service, rehabilitation of the navy ,puTii-
cation and elevation of the civil service,
encouragement of popular education aud
the promotion thereby OF national
patriotism. We recommend to
successive Republican legislatures the
enacting of wise and benefcient public
measures, including a law taxing collat-
eral inheritanees, which has already re-
lieved the burdens of taxation by over
two million dollars annually; law tax
s4Hg interpretations, which produces $780,,
1000 annually; law making employees the
first preferred creditors i'll assignments;
laws providing for proper discipline and
employment of convicts, and law pro-
tecting the products of farms and dairys.
4 The resolutions arraign Governor Hill
X5r vetoing such measures as the consti-
futlonRl convention bill, excise reform
bills, ballot reform bills aud liquor tax
bill, and continue as follows:

latures to secure a ballot reform,

islation are proofs of the right
purpose and good faith of the Re-
publican party. Nothing backward will
be taken and We pledge a determination
to persevere until salutary and adequate
provisions of law on these vital subjects
are embodied in the statutes of the
state. We urge a continuance of the
EFFORTS to render impossible improper
combination and conspiracies, known as
trusts, which have for their object a re-
striction of trade and enhancement in
the cost of the uecessaFies of life. A
maintenance of the canal system in IFS
highest efficiency and usefulness is de-
manded as necessary to the regulation of
freight rates and continued commercial
supremacy of this state.
Resolved, that this convention recog-
niZe the importance of the great hlstor-
zeal event which it is proposed to COM
memOrate by theWorld IS fair in 1892. APP
pTeciating the stimulating effect of such
celebration upon the industrial and COM
meTcial interests of the country and ma
tiOnal welfare, we hereby cordially en-
dorse the enterprise and declare that it
should be conducted on a scale and in q
manner commensurate with greatness of
the nation and patriotism of the people.
4u0 SelScLlOu Oh Jn6 Giiibl CITY Oh the tIin-
pire state, the commercial metropolis Of
this continent, as the place for this fair
is hereby cordially approved. We COM
mend that such action be promptly taken
by congress and the legislature of this
state as shall be needed to make this
great event success.
The report was unanimously adopted,
and nominations ensued, the results be-
ing:
For secretary OF state-John 7. Gilbert
of Malone
For omptroller-Martin W. Cooke of
Monroe.
For state treasurer-Ira W. Hedges of

Varnum of New York.
For state engineer-William P. Van
renssal aer of Seneca.

With the exception of the judgeship all
nominations were unanimous, only one
name being presented. For judSeship,
the name of Judge Alfred ConklIng
Coke was also presented, but Judge

lot, the vote being 440 to 311.

BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. 26. = The
Democratic state convention was called
to order at l2:45 p. M. by Hon. Steven
son Archer, chairman of the state cen
trail committee. James Hodges, ex-
mayor of Baltimore, was chosen tempo
rary chairman. In his speech Mr..
Hodges criticised severely the indie
pendent Democrats of Baltimore and
designated them as assistant Republic
cans. The usual committees were then
appointed and the temporary organiza-
lion was made permanent. The COM
mlttee on resolutions made its report and
it was adopted.
The resolution afflrms the platform
adopted by the national Democratic con-
ventlon OF 1888 at St Louis They con-
denim trusts as doing serious injury to the
people, and unless arrested will create
great distress by limiting the supply and
ruinously enhancing the price OF many
articles of prime necessity at the pleasure
of managers of illegal combinations; they
declare for new assessment of property
in order thar the burdens or taxation may
be equally distributed. The platform
favoTs judicious administration of Ii
censes TO sell liquor with super added re-
strictive features which experience else
where has proved to be salutary and
effectual. Such legislation should be
made to subserve the double purpose of
reducing the tax rate on property and of
removing largely from our midst the vice
of intempeTance. The party pledges it
self to 81 careful review of the registra-
ton of voters and elective franchise so
that at the coming legislature stringent
provisions may be adopted to preserve
the purity of the ballot box, and de-
clares q sincere and earnest purpose to
recognize and inforce all civil and po-
litical rights of the cOlored people, but
insists that schools for white and coloIed
children shall be kept separate and dis
tinct.
Col. Page then nominated L. Victor
Baughman of Fredericks county for
comptroller, and he was nominated by
reclamation.

JACKSON, MISS. Sept. 25.-The Re-
publican state convention, the first as
sembled in several years, met to-day in
the hell of the house of representatives
at noon. 3 K. Bruce was temporary
chairman and he made brief conserva-
tive address not committed fully to the
nomination of q state ticket, but he ad-
7ised, if nominations were made, that
they should choose men who would COM
mand the confidence of Republicans
and the respect of Democrats.
He was followed by Gen. Chalmers,
who denounced the Democratic party >,
state and national, in unmeasured terms
and advocated the nomination of state
ticket.
Sixty counties were represented by 254
delegates, sixty white, the balance COL
Ored. The conyentiCI is the largest one
held here by the Republicans IN recent
years. There was a large sentiment in
the convention opposed to any nominal
tions being made, but when it came to
vote the result showed $50 in favors and
ninety-five opposed to a ticket being
placed in the field. Chalmers fought
hard in favor of making nominations,
saying it would he cowardice not to make
them. James Hill who is contesting
Catching s seat in congress opposed nom
nations, saying the Democrats were
firmly en- trenched in power in this state
and it would be folly to attempt to dis
lodge them.
John r. Lynch strongly favored max
ing nominations and believed a ticket
had a chance of success.
The resolutions Endorsed the admins
tration of President Harrison in the most
eloquent terms and the platform of the
Republican party at Chicago IN 1888. The
administration Of the state government
was condemned as more extravagant
than under Republican rule. The man
agement of the state penitentiary was Sc
verely assailed and its long continuance
was declared disgrace to Christian CIV
ilIzation.
Nominations-James R. Chalmers for
governor.
James D. Lynch (white) of Clay county
for acknowledgement.
NJ. P. Mollison (colored) secretary of
state.
John s. Jones (white), treasurer.
Edward Young of Washington county,
auditor.
The convention is still in session.
