LOUISVILLE. May 12. Every train that
leaves this city this morning carries
away a load of that army of Repub-
licans that have been enjoying true Ken
lucky hospitality here for the last three or
four days. By night there will be none of
them here. All the delegates, however,
are not off for home. Some of them art
taking advantage of the nearness to the
Mammoth Cave to pay that celebrated
place visit, and others, both from the East
and far west, have planned to pay their
half dollars in at the Worlds Fair gates
while they are out this way.
The national convention of the Republi-
can League of Clubs after day of lively
and enthusiastic work adjourned last
night to meet again in Denver on the sec,
ond Wednesday of May next.

to throw his strength to Mr.. De Young.

report, which was received and read It.
touched upon almost every question of
public interest now before the country, in
Guiding resolutions Of respect to the mem
DRY of the late James G. Blaine.
A resolution was adopted denouncing
the action of the Union League Club of
New York, for refusing to membership a
Hebrew. Several speeches were made in
support of the resolution, in which the ac-
ton of the club was criticized in the sever
est terms.
The resolutions recommended by the
Committee on Resolutions for adoption
were then taken up and considered one at
q time.
The report of the Committee on Resolu-
tiOns was as follows:
We, the representatives of the Republican
clubs of the United States in National
convention assembled, reaffirm our de-
votion to the principles Of the Republican
party as enuuciated by the National Re-
publican convention in 1892.
We point with pride to the passage of q
general law for the safety of life and limb
of railway employees upon the recommen-
dation Of President Harrison and by Re
publican Congress.
We declare that We are heartily in sym
pathy with every Legislative enactment
which will promote the interests of the
wage earners and tends to equalize condi-
lions and harmonic the relations between
labor and capital.
We declare our faith in genuine secret
ballot laws fortified by efficient acts for the
suppression of corrupt practices in cleo
tions.
We demand the enforcement of existing
laws by the duly constituted officers of the
law and demand the abolition of the sys-
tenn of private armed forces represented by
the Pinkerton and like agencies.
The foreign policy of Benjamin Harrison
and James G. Blaine deserves and receives
the commentator of all Americans who
believe in preserving the rights and dignity
of the United States and in extending the
scope of its influence.
We recommend to the favorable consid-
Grafton of the Republican clubs of the
United States, as q matter Of education,
the question of granting to the women of
the State and the nation the right to vote
at all elections on the same terms and con-
ditions as male citizens.
Whereas The Democratic party for the
first time in thirty-two years has sue
ceeded to power In both the executive and
legislative departments of the government,
we direct attention to the fact that it
should either give the people fair trial of
the policy advocated in it's national plat
form or admit that it gained supremacy by
gross Misrepresentation and hypocrisy
Tbs report was adopted, section by sec
ton.
A resolution was then adopted denounc-
ing the action of the Union League club
of New York for refusing admission to
membership to Hebrews. Several speeches
were made in support of the resolution in
which the action of the club was criticised
in the severest terms.

was again reminded of Kentucky hospital
ity by the receipt of souvenir bottle of

Kentucky famous. compliments of Albert
