| After prayer by the Rev. J. n. Freeman

on credentials was submitted. Members

present The report of the committee on
Iules provided that each state be entitled
TO vote the full number of delegates al
lowed whether present or not and gave
the college leagues the same privileges
John NJ. Thurston, who presided, IL view
of objections to the report, explained that
he could find nothing i'll the constitution
which opposed the provisions. The re-
port aside from the provisions on voting
was adopted. 1t was then moved that
the remainder of the report be adopted
Ar. Russey of New York upheld the
action of the committee on the ground
that if the league were to be influenced
by the sentiment of the locality IN which
it's sessions are held, it would cease to be
a national organization. EX-Gov. Prince
of New Mexico asked the convention to
look at the effects of the motion on the
future. The league and convention drew

The minority report was called for and
was read by the secretary. 1t provided
that the vote of each delegation should be
limited to the number OF delegates actu-
ally present. The Minneapolis dele
gates demanded the roll call. This gave
rise to Il storm Of protests which caused
Chairman Thurston to announce that the
convention could not be considered III Or
der and that business could not be trans
acted unless order was restored.
Colorado voted mo" and the announce
ment was greeted with cries of Shame
Every announcement was greeted with
applause Ihe intense feeling was due to
the bearing the question had on the vote
on resolutions. The vote was 0I2 to 265
in favor of adoption of the majority re-
port. The convention then adjourned un
til o'clock, when the committee on reso
lutions presented it's report, as follows:
The representatives of the National league
of Republican clubs. of the United States,
in convention assembled at the capital Of
the centennial state bow their heads in
sorrow and humiliation at the spec
tacle Of incapacity which the Democratic
party presents to our country and deplore the
calamities which the giving of power 10 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
It's achievements and its triumphs, extending
over thirty years, establishes it the most
masterful and enlightened political organiza-
ton that has ever been formed.
In face of the present disaster to our country
it is with increased sOlemnity that we once more
renew our allegiance to the Republican party
and proclaim its cardinal principles.
We believe in free ballot and fair count,
and we demand such legislation will insure
to every citizen the right to cast free ballot
in any election and to have that ballot honestly
counted as cast 1t is a noteworthy fact that
the democratic party in Congress, consistent in
nothing else, was unanimous for the repeal of
the federal election laws, thus openly confess
ing itself the party of fraud.
We declare our belief in the doctrine of pro-
lection to American labor, American industries
and American homes. We also believe in such
reciprocal trade with the nations as will increase
the market for the products of our farms, facto
ries forests and mines, without increasing the
competition which tends to lessen wages and
degrade our labor.
We denOunce the proposed vicious and de-
structive legislation known as the Wilson blu
and earnestly appeal to the Republican United
States senators TO prevent Its passage by all hon
Orable means.
We believe in the use of gold and silver as
money metals, maintained on perfect parity
and inter cOnvertibility.
We do not believe that there will be perma-
neht return of prosperity of our country until
the full useand highest 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
promises and pledges OF the Democratic party
to the defenders Of the republic before election
were false and fraudulent and have been shame
fully disregarded since election. We condemn
unsparingly the treatment now accorded the
helpless, MANNED and crippled defenders of the
flag and to- the widows and orphans of our dead
patriots, as unfair and cruelty unjust.
We are most heartily in 1ayOr OF the prompt
Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma, and
we condemn the policy of the Democratic adj
ministration in excluding and depriving them
OF their rights.
We demand that new safeguards be incorpo-
rated in Our immigration and naturalization
laws to prevent unworthy Immigrants from
landing OH our shores and from Obta lining citl-
Zenshp.
We again commend to the favorable consider
alton OF the Republican clubs of the United
States, as matter OF education, the question Of
granting suffrage to women.
We congratulate the women of Colorado and
Wyoming on their possession of the elective
franchise and we cordially invite their cooper
alton in the work Of rescuing the country from
Democratic and Populist misrule"
