far as I am concerned it will be fought in a
gentlemanly manner.
son the steamer Congo there were
adopted and framed a set of resolutions and
testimonial, which a few days ago were
finished. L was appointed to present them
to this club, and consider it very
pleasant duty, indeed. The prin-
ciples of the Republican party are
typifed by such clubs as this. 1 am in a
position to draw comparisons from both
ends of the State, and L can truthfully say
that the League of Republican Clubs has
been of much good. 1t gives new impetus
to secure success to the party. There is no
policy formulated that is of such benefit to
the party as the idea of having good
local clubs. The idea of the protective
tariff is first principle of the party. We

in the voter who goes to the polls once In
every four years, or once every year at
most. l am practical politician and be-
lieve that politics is the highest science
man can study. / will tell you why the
party suffered such a sweeping de-
feat last November. 1t was because
the men who should have been at home
refuting the falsehoods of our enemy were
kept busy making tariff laws at Washing
ton Could those men have been among
their friends short time before the cleo
tion the result would have been very differ
ent. However, Mr.. Dalzell and 1 will be
very lonely in the Fifty-second Congress,
and we will not be kept 8: the Capitol to

Advised to Work for 1892.
1.-THE tariff measure is a splendid one, and
when the people become familiar with its
operations, it will be more widely COM
mended. I suggest to you to get to work
for 1892 The same issues will be before
the people, and the same standard-bearers
will be there. The hour and the
day are ripe for the annihila-
tion of all the factional feeling and
party dissentions We must combine
against this common enemy. President
Harrison indorses the work of the League"
Clarence Burleigh, in short speech full
of wit, accepted the gift on behalf of the
club. This pleasant duty had been assigned
to Mr.. Dalzell, but he was not there. After
the Speech-making a committee was selected
to place the gift on exhibition. 1t consists
of large frame of the photographs of the
people who went on the excursion. After
adjournment social intercourse was resumed.
In the party from Philadelphia were
Theodore B. Stub, City Commissioner;
Samuel Clement, J. A. Ennis, John Siner,
John Smith, James MacBrine, George L.
Pfouts and William Griffith Mr. Stub
stated that the members of the party were
close adherents of Jack Robinson, and he
was sure to be elected to the presidency of
the State League. The visitors were taken
for a drive to Schenley Park, where lunch
was served, and to the Homewood driving
track. They were much pleased with their
reception by the club
Mr.. Robinson Extremely Confident.
In speaking of his chances at the Monon-
gahela House, yesterday, John B. Robinson
said: "The Eastern leaders are with me and
/ will 60 into the convention with two dele
gates to Mr. Dalzell's one. 1 announced
myself as a candidate year ago. 1 under
stand the opposition is organizing mush-
room clubs l am not in that business.
That kind of sewer politics will lower the
standing of the league, and it won't be my
fault if it is done.
Mr. Dalzcll is member of the Pennsvl-
vania Club in Philadelphia and 1 expected
them to indorse him. 1t was not surprise
TO me. That is the only club in the Quaker
City he will have"
Mr. Robinson said he would take the |
stump in the fall for Mckinley. He |

President by the Democrats he would carry |
PENNSYLVANIA. He thinks Harrison is the |
most available Republican. He added that |
the State Treasurer fight was between |
Thompson and Morrison, with the old SOL |
diers solid for the latter Colonel Bayne |
figures that Morrison will have a walk-over. |
Mr.. Robinson is a warm advocate of Con- |
stitutional Convention, and he will indorse |
any argument in its favor that can be ad- |
vanced.
!. B. Laux editor of the Greensburg |
Press, was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Laux |
used to be President of the Republican club |
there. He said they lost the county last |
fall, and the Republicans were keeping out |
of all fights for the sake of harmony The |
club will send delegates to the League Con-
vention. but he thought they would be un-
instructed. Mr.. Laux thinks that Jack |
Robinson will some day be Governor of the |
State if he lives. He is great admirer of |
the Media man.
