 Mass Meeting Last Night Addressed By
 Gov. Mckinley and Others.
 BUFFALO, N. Y., Sep. 16.-The attend ance at the National Republican League of Clubs was much larger this morning when it was called to order than yester- day. Nearly every seat in the big Music Hall was occupied. Reports of commit tees are now being heard, after which will occur the election of officers for the ensuing year.
 Everybody says Gen. Clarkson is to be reelected President and A. B. Humphrey Secretary. There is no suggestion of a name in opposition to Clarkson. But for the secretaryship Theodore B. Stubb, of Philadelphia, has some backing, but there will probably be no contest for this office
 Phineas Lounsbury is slated for unani- nous reelection to the treasuryship. Vice Presidential candidate Reid arriv- ed this morning, and is at the Iroquois He will speak at the mass meeting this afternoon, and in the evening he will re- view the parade from the special balcony built at the Iroquois.
 The selection of Louisville as the place for holding the next convention gives general satisfaction. The other cities that desired to entertain the League were Cleveland, Chicago and Denver, but Louisville won on the first ballot. The matter of time was referred to the Ma tional Executive Committee. The mass meeting last night drew big crowd to Music Hall. Mir. Clarkson in troduced Hon. s. P. Deliver of Iowa, who spoke briefly. When he finished Chair man Clarkson introduced Major McKin- ley, the audience applauding wildly, men
 standing on the seats and yelling them
 selves hoarse. The cheering lasted for several minutes.
 Gov. Mckinley said in part: :'The issues this year which are to be | settled by the sutfrages of the people, are made by the national platforms of the | Republican and Democratic parties. Two striking questions are raised by the plat | form of our political adversaries. First, it's unequivocal adherence to free trade. It is by far the boldest declara- | tion in favor of free trade ever made by | any political party in the United States. Second, it declares for the abolition of ! the tax upon State banks of issue. This tax was imposed by Congress to destroy | the banks, that they might adopt a na- tional money. It is proposed by the | Democratic leaders to return to the use | of State bank circulation with which to | measure the exchanges of the people. "It means local money instead of na- I tional money; it means that each State in the Union shall have money of it's own ! issued by State authority, and under such regulations and with such security { as the several legislatures may deter | mine.
 "Every man would be required, if he \ wanted to be safe-and then he would not \ be safe--to carry what was known as the ! oII ovoI sc &< \ go back to that.
 ! Eff the Democratic party should be
 successful, and the principles declared at l Chicago should be put into permanent forms of legislation, we would have the British system of free trade and the old | State banks with their worthless circula- ! tion.
 'I do not believe that the sober second | thought of the people of this country will | take the chances, under such circum-
 stances, of Democratic victory. Our ! money should be as national as our flag, ! and that is what it is to-day, and it { should be as sacred as our national honor,
 as sound as the government is itself, and | the people of the country no more want | free trade and the conditions which it | will impose than they want worthless
 State bank money"
 Gov. Mckinley devoted considerable
 time to reviewing the workings of the
 tariff law, and to statements regarding
 the tin plate industry.
 Ex-Senator Fassett and John NJ. Thurs
 ton of Nebraska spoke for few minutes,
 and the meeting closed with a few re-
 marks by Charles Morris of Kentucky, a colored man.
 The Buffalo Republican League held a
 reception at it's headquarters, the White
 House, at the close of the mass meeting, ! which was attended by many of the dele
 gates.
