Associated Press.
Louisville, KY, May ia sub-com-
mittee Of the committee on resolutions
of the national republican clubs,
wrestled till o'clock this morning
over o. resolution favoring woman's
suffrage, introduced yesterday. The
subcommittee finally decided to report
unfavorably, and the whole committee
this morning endorsed this action.
The resolution declaring that immi-
grants who could not read the English
language should be denied admission
to the country, was killed. A resolu-
ton was adopted denouncing the
League club Of New York for refusing
admission to a Hebrew. The platform
recommended by the committee on res
olutions was then adopted. 1t declared
in favor of all legislation to protect the
interests of wage-earners and to har-
monize the interests of capital and
labor; recommends adjustment of labor
disputes by arbitration, declares faith
in the secret ballot backed by acts FOR
the suppression of corruption at cleo
tions; demands the abolition Of the
Pinkerton system ana the suppression
of all gambling, whether in food pro-
ducts, or lottery tickets; urged an
the president Ineligible to a second
term; recommended to the favorable
consideration Of republican clubs OF the
United States the question of granting
to women Of the state and nation the
right to vote at elections in the same
terms and conditions as male citizaqS,

tirar wneh the American nag covers
American interests and American hon
or, it must never be lowered.
w. H. Tracy, of Illinois, was elected
president on the first ballot by vote
Of 902 M. r. DeYuung, of California,
received 4O4.
e. S. Meanly was chosen vice presd-
dent. and G. H. Wilson executive COM
mitteeman from Washington.
A resolution was reported by com
mittee deploring the loss of Jas. G'
Blaine and Rutherford B. Hayes, and
providing for the appointment of
committee of nine to investigate and
report annually the condition OF the
republican party in the Southern
states. Adopted. The following was
also adopted: The republican party is
the party of the people and the pur-
pose of it's creation was the destruc-
tion of slavery and the greatest pos
sible extension of human liberty in
the land. 1t knows no sect nor creed
therefore the exclusion Of any person
from any republican club or organiza-
ton on account of his religious belief,
merits the severet condemnation. The
league then adjourned.
BY tomorrow morning the republic
cans who have been enjoying Ken
lucky hospitality for the past few days
will have disappeared. The conven-
ton of the General Republican League
adjourned this afternoon to meet on
the second Wednesday of May, next,
in Denver.
There has been great deal of ad-
verse criticism of leaders of national
reputation for managing the conven-
ticn. 1t was announced before the
convention, that General r. A. Alger,
]. Sloat Fassett, Thos. B. Reed, Gov
ernor Mckinley, John M. Thurston,
and others would be present, but not
one of them came. Another cause OF
complaint was that members of the
republican committee with few excep-
tions, left the city as soon as the COM
| mittee adjourned. When the conven-
( ton was called to order this morning,
it was noticed that no parliamentary
rules had been adopted for its guid-
ance, and President Clarkson moved
that the rules of the Fifty-first con-
gress CTom Reeds congress) be adopt
/ ed. This motion was carried amid tre-
mendous cheers. The report of the
committee on credentials was adopted.
Also the report of the committee Sc
lecting the place for the next meeting.
