The National League of Republican
clubs will hold the national convention
at Buffalo on Sept. l. This was decided
upon yesterday morning by the execu-
tive committee which met i'll one OF the
parIors at the West. There was lively
competition between New York, Indian
apolis and Omaha, and each city was
represented by an eloquent representa-
tive who set the beauties and facilities
of his place to the best advantage. 1t
was finally decided to have Buffalo as a
compromise. John S. Clarkson was
chairman of the meeting and A. B.
Humphrey, of New York, secretary.
President James F. Burke, of the Ma
tional Republican College league, was
present, and outlined the work pro-
posed and at present being accom-
plished by the university men
of the country. The scheme
was a brilliant success, he SAID, and
those present at the meeting were
tickled to hear it. and evinced a lot of
enthusiasm at the report. Chairman
Clarkson said that the work was of great
Importance and he suggested that Mr..
Burke be made member of the eXecu-
tive committee, and that the college
league be given as much representation
at the Buffalo convention as it deserved.
The matter was referred to a Sub-com-
mittee. A committee consisting of j. A.
Blanchard, A. b. Humphreys of New
York; w. E. Riley of Kentucky; E.
Pallen. of Michigan and j. Ii. Gould, of
Massachusetts,, was appointed to arrange
the details of the Buffalo convention.

plea for the Woman's Republican
League of Kansas, asking that it be of
ficlally recognized. Mr.. Settle, of Kan
sas, and John GoodnOw. of this city,
presented a resolution backing up Mrs.
Fosters request. The matter was re-
ferred to the subcommittee, with in
structions to formulate plan whereby
all such organizations can be recOg-
niZed. Gen. A. w. Hamill, of Colorado,
was made a member Of the executive
and authorized 10 call state conven-
ton. The South Carolina league was
Endorsed, and the president was ap-
pointed chairman of committee to be
elected by himself, to advise with the
South Carolina league. Chairman Clark

which was adopted:
