 LOUISVILLE, May 1.-The convention was called to order at 10:30 o'clock b, President Clsrkson. The delegates were all present. The committee on credential made its report. The rules adopted t | govern the convention were those of tn, ffty-frst congress, over which Thomas B Reed presided.
 The committee on resolutions made itl report, which was received and read. II touched upon almost every question of | public interest now before the country, in. cluding resolutions of respect to the | memory of the late James G. Blaine.
 James Blount, Q colored delegate from Alabama, offered few criticisms on the republican party for its seeming neglect of the negro in tho south. He said the re- publican party was the only party to which the colored men could look for pro- lection and he hoped the party would not retrograde from the position 1t held under the administrations of Lincoln and Grant. A lively discussion arose over e resolu- tion regarding the restriction of immigra- tion. It recited that all immigrants be de. nied admission to this country who could not read in the English language. Captain Allen moved to indefinitely postpone the resolution. He said 1t was un-republicsn and un-American, and should be killed. His motion prevailed. A resolution was adopted denouncing the action of the Union League club of New York for refusing admission to mem bership to Hebrew. Several speeches were made in support of the resolution in which the action of the club was criticized in the severest terms.
 The resolutions recommended by the committee on resolutions for adoption were then taken up and considered one at Q time. When the resolution offered by Dr. Blackwell yesterday was read 6 motion was made that it be adopted. This caused 8 furore all over the house. A score of dela- gates were clsmoring for the floor. Order was at length restored, and division was called for, and as result the resolution was adopted by vote of 375 yeas to 1855 nays.
 The report of the committee on resolu- tions was as follows:
 We, the republican representatives of re- publican clubs in convention assembled ,re- affirm our devotion to the principles of the republican party as enunoiated by the na- tionsl convention of 1892.
 We point with pride to the passage of Q general law for the safety of life and limb of railway employees upon the reeommen- dation of President Harrison, by repub- expressed pledge of the national republican convention.
 We declare that we are heartily in sym pathy with every legislative enactment which will promote the iAterests of the wage earners and tend to equalize oon- ditions and harmonize the relations be- tween labor and capital, always regarding the moral and material welfare of the great body of the people as the primary object to be attained, and recommend, as one of the most effective means to attain this end, the establishment of e system of arbitra- tion for the adjustment of differences arising 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. We demand the suppression of all public gambling, whether in food products or by means of lottery tickets.
 We heartily urge an amendment to the | constitution making the president ineltgi- ble to @ second term.
 We recommend to the favorable consid- eration of tho republican clubs, as matter of | education, the question of granting to the women of the state and nation the right to | vote at all elections on the same terms and conditions as male citizens.
 The foreign policy of Benjami Harrison and James G. Blaine deserved and received the commendation of all Americans who believe in preserving the rights and dig. nity of the United States and in extending | the ecope of its influence. In accordance with that policy we reaffirm our determine tion to encourage the enforcement of ths Monroe doctrine, not only as it applies te North and South America, but also te those islands in the Atlantic and Pacific which are or may become necessary to th'
 Whereas, The democratic party for thu first timein thirty-two years has succeeded to power in both the executive and legisla ! tive departments we now direct attention l to the fact that 1t should either give tn people fair trial of the policy advocated in it's national platform or admit that gained its supremacy by gross naisrepre sentation and hypocrisy.
