THE REPUBLICAN League,
Resolutions Adopted at the Denver
Meeting-Silver and Female Suf-
frage FavorablY Considered.

DENVER, Col, June 27-Tns Ma
tional League of Republican clubs this
evoning adopted the following resolu-
tions:
The representatives of the National
League Of Republican clubs of the United
States in convention assembled at the cap
ital Of the centennial state throw their
heads in sorrow and humiliation at the
spectacle Of incapacity which the Democra-
tic presents to our country and deplores
the calamities which the giving of power
to the present administration has brought
upon our people.
We congratulate the American people
that this administration was compelled by
public opinion to abandon its un- American
Hawaiian policy, In contrast with the
shameful record Of the Democratic party,
we exult over the record OF glory which
the Republican party has made. Its
achievements and its triumphs extending
over thirty years establish it as the most
rnasteriul, enlightened and prudent or.
ganization that has ever existed.
In the face Of present disaster to our
country, it Is with increased solemnitv
that we once morS renew our allegiance to
the Republican party and proclaim its
ballot and u fair count and we demand
SUCH legislation as will insure to every
citizen the right to cast one free ballot in
any election and to have that ballot Justly
counted and cast. 1t is q noteworthy
fact that tho Democratic party in
congress consistent in nothing else was
unanimous on the repeal Of the federal
election laws, thus openly confessing the
party Of fraud. We declars our belief in
the doctrine Of protection to American
labor, American industries and American
homes, We also believe in such reci procal
trade with nations as will increase the
market for the products Of our farmers,
factories, forests and mines without in-
creasing the competition which tends to
lesson wages and degrade our labor. We
denounce the proposed vicious and destruc.
tue legislation known as the Wilson bill
and earnestly appeal to Republican United
States senators to oppose its passage by all
honorable means. We believe in the use
Of gold and silver as money metals, main-
tanned on perfect parity and inter con-
vertibihty, We do not believe that there
will be a permanent return OF prosperity
to our country until the full use aud high
est position of silver shall be restored and
we favor such legislation as will bring
about this result.
The Republican party is the constant
friend OF the soldiers and sailors Of the
Union. The pledges Of the Democratic
party to the defenders Of the republic be-
fore election was false and fraudulent and
have been shamefully disregarded since
election. We condemn unsparingly the
treatment now accorded the helpless,
mained and crippled defenders of the aag
and to the widows and orphans of our dead
patriots as unfair and cruelty unjust. We
are most heartily in favor of the prompt
admission into the Union of the terri.
tories Of Utah. New Mexica, Arizona and
Oklohoma, and we condemn the policy of
the Democratic administration in exclud-
ing and depriying them OF their rights.
We demand that new safeguards be in
corporated in our immigration and nat.
uralization laws to prevent unworthy i'm.
migrants from landing on our shores and
obtaining citizenship.
We again commend to the favorable
consideration of the Republican clubs Of
the. United States, as q matter Of education,
the question OF granting suffrage to wo-
men. We congratulate the women OF
Colorado and Wyoming on their possession
Of the elective franchise, and we cordially
invite their cooperation in the work Of
rescuing the country from Democratic
and Populistie misrule.
President Tracy was re- elected a.
president Of the Republican league of
clubs today. A, B. Humphrey, of
Nebraska. was reelected secretary.
Cleveland was chosen as the next
place Of meeting and the convention
adjourned sine die.
