Election.
Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN
BUFFALO (N. ", Sept. 15.-The fifth
annual convention of the National League
of Republican Clubs was held here to-
day, j. n. Scratched presiding. After
prayer and welcome by Judge Haight,
President Garrison arose amid applause
He acknowledged the welcome, and ex-
planned the falling off in the expected at
tendance. He said it was largely due to
the cholera scare, which is keeping away
many delegates. Messrs. Slaughter of Ne
braska and Foster OF Illinois were named
as Assistant Secretaries.
The roll-call was next in order. 1t was
found that thirty-four States and three
Territories were represented. 1t was de-
cided to name the Committee on Creden-
tials, each State naming member of the
committee.
On motion of Campbell of Illinois the
College Club delegates were seated.
President Burke was loudly called for,
and, responding, he assured the conven-
ton that on the Sth day of Novem Der
they would be found doing valiant work
for the Republican ticket. Cheers.
The convention then took a recess till 2
o'clock in the afternoon. At that hour
President Clarkson delivered his address,
- President Clarkson's annual address
was largely devoted to the organization
and progress of the league and it's work
as new element in politics. In the
course of his remarks he said: ''The
rising question Of the time, the one in
which the next national campaign is
surely to be fought, is the labor question.
fully demonstrated the wisdom of the
American policy, and will have gained
the approval of the majority of American
homes as permanent policy of the Re-
public, Next November the working
men and farmers and business men and
all elements will join in striking down
the declaration of the Democratic plat
form of 1892 in favor of free trade as an
American rule and free-trade wages for
American workingmen. The same good
elements, L am sure, will also strike
down with equal emphasis of disapproval
the Democratic declaration in favor of
destroying our present system Of cur
rency and finance for a return to the
wretched and disastrous form of State
banks and unsound currency"
Music Hall was filled in the evening
when Mr.. CIarkson introduced the first
speaker, Hon. j. 2. bolivar of Iowa
bolivar spoke on the issues of the day,
and on the careers of the Republican and
Democratic Presidential candidates. The
astonishing feature OF current politics
was that the Republican party had per-
tO throw re
ord of great achievements and fight it
out on the history of the past month. If
the past had no lessons and no inSpira-
tons, he would freely confess he could
bring neither interest nor enthusiasm
into the present campaign. Let us, as
Republicans, keep alive the memories of
past years." he cried. "Let not the his
lete to suit the demands of the Demo-
cratic party"
Major Mckinley was next introduced,
and for some time the hall was in a per-
feet uproar, the audience rising en- masse
and greeting the Governor with waving
hats and handkerchiefs. He spoke at
some length on ''two striking questions
raised by the platform of our political
adversaries-first,i it's adherence to tree
trade, and second, its declaration for the
abolition of the tax on State banks
ISSUE"
Mckinley outlined the evils that would
result from a step backward in currency
matters, and said the Democratic proposal
for the abolition of the tax on State banks
ought to be sufficient of itself to defeat
that party. He then turned his attention
to the evils of free trade, etc., and said
the new tariff law has vindicated itself.
OregOn's election in June spoke for it,
and had been followed by Vermont and
Maine. AS to tin plate, he told what he
saw at Elwood, Indiana, on Tuesday. In
that factory all the machinery used was
made in the United States, and the sheets
Of steel used in the manufacture of tin
plate were also made'in this country.
1.-The Democrats said we couldn't make
steel rails, nor pottery, nor china, nor
plate glass, but we are making them as
good as anywhere in the world, and so it
is with tin plate. The American people
can make anything they want, and with
adequate protection will"
The speaker, in closing, warmly eulo-
gized General Clarkson as matchless
leader.
Hon. John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska
requested every young man present to
vote for the party OF protection. He said
every leader of the so-called independent
party had been failure in some other
political party.
Hon. j. SIoat Fassett and others also
spoke.
GOVERNOR BOIES SPEAKS.
CARROLL Ia.), Sept. Is. = Governor
Horace Boies opened the campaign by
stirring speech in this city to-day, in the
presence of thousands of enthusiastic
Democrats. In his speech he declared
this to be the most important campaign
in recent years. The tariff question was
the great issue, and the time for the
farmers to demand a surcease from I'M
just, unequal and excessive taxation has
arrived. He made an exhaustive tariff
argument and produced an array of
statistical facts in proof of his remark
able statement of two years ago, that.
estimating farm wages at the same rate
as city wages, Iowa's crops had sold for
81 cents per acre less than the cost to pro-
duce them. Governor Boies also dis

other planks of the National Democratic
