Republican Clubs.
The National Convention Of the
League mt Baltimore.


BALTIMORE, Feb. 2S.-Whcn
President James L. Foster called
the convention of the National
League of Republican Clubs to
order shortly after noon to-day,
there was goodly attendance of
delegates, and Lords Opera House
presented gala appearance. The
house was deliberately decorated
with the National colors and the
fronts of the two galleries were
hung with gonfallons, each bear
ing the coat of arms OF State,
those of the newly admitted States
being conspicuous. The galleries
and boxes were filed with lockers
on while the main floor was reserved
for delegates and alternates.
The gavel fell at 1885 p. m. and
the convention was opened with a
short prayer by Rev. Alex. L.
Proudfit, who invoked divine
blessing on the outgoing as well
rs the incoming President of
the United States.
President Foster briefly stated the
reason for the holding OF the con-
vention at this time, and congratu.
lated the League on the result of its
work last fall He spoke of the
rapid growth of the League since
its organization, and said that at the
head of the inaugural parade on
Monday next would be found a
banner on which would be emilia
zoned the crest of the National
League of Republican Clubs. He
complimented the clubs of Mary
land on their work as evidenced by
the additional Republican Con-
gresham credited to that State. He
gave sketches, showing the phenom-
email growth OF the League from
400 clubs at Chickering Hall in
December, 1887, to over 1000 clubs
a. the present convention. The
spirit of harmony that has pervaded
the work of the party since the
Chicago Convention, he said, was
creditable to the organized clubs, to
whose efforts much of President
elect Harrison's success was due.
He congratulated the Republican
party on the admission of the four
new States, claiming that they be-
long to the Republican ranks, and
would be found there when needed.
An allusion to Hon. James G. Blaine
as the next Secretary Of State was
greeted with an outburst of enthusi.
astic cheering. President Foster
thanked the League for its consid
crate treatment of him during his
term of Office, and said that he could
lay down the gavel feeling conf
dent that the League was about to
enter a glorions career of useful
ness.
The roll call was answered by
nearly 200 delegates. The
delegates from North Dakota, South
/
Dakota, Washington and New
Mexico were greeted with applause
as they arose to answer their names.
The Committees OH Credentials
and Resolutions, each consisting of
one delegate from each State and
Territory, were appointed, and after
considerable debate the convention
voted that all resolutions, after be-
ing read, shall be referred 10 the
Committee on Resolutions without
debate. The convention then ad.
journed until 10 o'clock to morrow
morning.

It was observed by Hugh Miller that, al
though this continent is the New World In
relation to its discovery by civilized man, it
Is an old world, much older than Europe, in
relation to the types Of its animals and plants
For example, the big trees Of California are
Of older stock than any tFees now growing il

Brna- Of the races Of Siberia and Eastern
Asia have not sprung from American abo-
RHYMES, rather than our Indians to have come
from that quarter.
In the case of such plant as the common
heather Of England and Scotland, found
growing Wild in Nova Scotia, it is matter
0f curious interest to determine whether it
Is native to the soil OF has been introduced
from Europe.
Professor Lawson, Of Halifax, decides that
the Uiant had its home here To his view
there was time when the plant was abund-
eat in our northern lands, and its present
fare occurrence marks dying out Of the
species on this side cf the ocean. Its vi goH
Gus growth in Europe is due to the circrun
etance that it is there young plant on a vir

1t was Buttons idea that all the forms Of
animal and plant life common to the two
continents were introduced here after the
discovery by Europeans The idea was nat
Crally suggested by the rapidity with which
this continent was peopled and stocked with

Farmers Alliance.

Barry. Mimi, Dec. II, 1889.
EDITOR THE Sun:
In your last issue I saw that the
farmers of Stevens county are keeping
up to the times in having working
organization of alliance members in
each town. Three years ago the
same might be said of Big Stone
county, but to-day not single alli-
ance exists. The causes which led
to the change was that political cor
ruption crept in and sharpened party
animosity. Men joined the alliance
not farmers-whOse only ambition
was office; when once obtained, their
duty ceased and the records show the
course they afterwards pursued. let
it must he admitted that the only
sure way to benefit the farmers is
through organization and the ballot
box. We must not believe that men
whose business interests are opposed
to the farmers, will legislate in their
favor. The time IS near at hand
when the majority, and not the
minority shall rule; when laws in
favor of the many, and not the few
shall be made. An effort is once
more begun in this town and it il
hoped every town in the county viii
