YOUNG REPUBLICANS MEET.

| Tho state Convention Held Yesterday Full of Enthusiasm Over the Pros. poets of the Republicans-Electi of Omcers-Cheers for Harrison and RIaine-A Strong Sentiment in Favor of General MervIn.
 The state convention of republican league clubs yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the New Haven Young Mems club was large and enthusi- astic one. The rooms of the club were put to the utmost test of their capacities for the accommodation and entertainment of l the assembly. The delegates gathered 1 early and in the interim before the conven- l ton was called to order renewed old friend l ships or made new ones. Everyone was enthusiastic over the prospect for a repub- lican victory at the polls next fall.
 MT. Henry E. Tipke of Pawtucket, R. l., president of the Rhode Island state league clubs, MT. H. A. L. Potter of Providence, secretary of the Rhode Island state league clubs, and R. S. Hinman. assistant secre- tary of state, were present as guests of the club.
 President E. L.. Linsley called the meet ing to order and introduced MT. Tipke, who made an interesting address, telling of the ways and means adopted by the clubs in his state for advancing republi canism. He said: We make good use of the newspapers. In the late campaign we distributed daily 5,0oO copies of the ri bune. In return for this they sent MT. Ford, bright political writer, into our state, who went from place to place nnder our direction and wrote up the industries of the place, and the effect the Mckinley tariff had upon them. At the same time we gave steady support to the local papers.
 When we went into district where German or Italian or French was under derstood by the working classes, better than the English language, we sent them papers and pamphlets in their own Ian guage. So, in Connecticut if you should send French paper among the French in- habitants of the eastern part of the state the results would we'll repay you for it. want to tell you about the Garfield club in Pawtucket and what it has ac- comp1ished. We have opened bureau comprising all the republican attorneys of the city. We find out people of foreign birth who have lived in this country and | state long enough to be voters. Then, through the aid of the attorneys, we zee that they are naturalzed. The English people who come to this country are usual | ly republicans. If we welcome them and go fight after them we will get their votes. l The night before election last April ad dressed crowd of 500, composed ex- clusively of republicans. Whoever heard | of meeting of that kind being held be- fores few years ago Pawtucket elected an entire democratic delegation to the leg islature. This year I sat in Senator Al ! drich's room with him at ? o'clock in the morning looking over the returns. No election seemed to have been made for gov ernor and the legislature was in doubt
 MT. Aldrich said: 'I would give $1 ,O00 if | Knew tha. Pawtucket was republican" :"
 Pawtucket entirely reversed the result of g few years ago and sent an entire repub- lican delegation, insuring for Rhode Island
 the reelection ofs a republican United
 States senator. [Applause.

 While the committee were deliberating
 hand books which showed clearly and
 concisely the benefcent effect of the Nc Kinley bill and the fidelity of the republi

 their platform were distributed. These : are issued by the National League of Re
 publican Clubs and are very interesting reading. They are not exactly the sort ol
 literature that the democrats will like te have circulated about the country. The ! Young Mems Business club sent picture
 of the large auditorium in Minneapolis i1 | which, as President Linsley said, the nex
 president of the United States will be nom
 mated: [Applause].
 Mir. R. $. Hinman, assistant secretary O. - state, distributed pamphlet containing
 one of his letters to the Connecticut Farm l CT. He said: s'The other day told demo cratic candidate for congress that he dit : | not dare to go to his constituents and sa, | what he would do with the McKinl- y law f. ! and not vote as some man from the soutl
 or west dictates without regard to the in
 terest of Connecticut. It has been sug ] gested to me that on letter paper used b. l owners of mills there should be printe' the amount of imports of the goods manu factured in that mill in 1890 and how mucl less in 1892. and the amount of none,
 paid for labor there in 1890 and in 1892 | You would be surprised, gentlemen, to SC o | what bene6cent change has been wrough
 by the Mckinley bill. The farmers are al @ right. It is the workmen in the mills ant Il In the large cities that we must work for
 (Applause.]

 rion, and the convention unanimousl F elected him with cheers.
 MT. Briggs took the chair and in hap ] py speech accepted the nomination. H s said: do not know how anyone coul'
 refuse the election under the circum
 stances. do not think that there is an e use for talking, but to go at once to work y l I thank the gentleman from Rhode Islan'
 for the advice he has given and for his in :, spring address. Applause]
