Iranu VIA farty. his reputation ds
an orator was made in his recent speech
and the banqueters gave him all OF
their attention.
Senator j. c. Burroughs, of Michi-
gan, spoke to the toast, 'Perfdity and
Dishonor and Political Integrity"
Senator Warner Miller. of New York,
was called upon to fill the place of
John j. Ingalls,, who was absent.

subject allotted to Mrs. j. Ellen Eos.
ter, of Washington.
The last speaker of the evening was

Republican League"
CLEVELAND, O., June 22.-1t was II
o'clock Friday morning before Gen.
McAlpin, in his new capacity as presi.
dent of the league of republican clubs,
called the meeting to order.
The first business was the election of
q
Byrnes, of Minneapolis, nominated NJ.
j. Bowling, of the same state. William
Kelly, of Wisconsin, seconded the
nomination of William Grant Eden, of
Illinois. Delegate Perry Powers, of
Michigan, offered resolution which
provided that the executive COM
mittee be permitted to select the secre-
tary.
A. L. Morrison, of New Mexico, sup
ported MIR. Howard's proposition, and
several speakers opposed the PROPOSE
tion.
Mrs. Ellen Foster, of Washington,
supported the motion to have the exec.
tive committee select the secretary.
Mrs Foster spoke from the platform
and was warmly applauded.
Gen. Golf, of Illinois, opposed the
motion and warmly supported the cam
didacy of William Grant Eden.
| AT this point Congressman Towney,
of Minnesota. made the point of order
, that the constitution of the league pro-
viding for the election of secretary
at the annual meeting, the resolution
to refer the matter to the executive
committee was out of order.
|
over the point of order which Gen. Nc
Alpin refused to decide, and the parlia-
mentary fight might have lasted until
evening had not Delegate Howard put
an end to the whole matter by with
drawing the motion.
The roll call on the election of Sec
retary was begun, and NJ. Dowling,
of Minnesota. was elected. The vote
was made unanimous on motion of
Judge Golf.
The committee on resolutions then
reported the Patton resolution, as fol-
lows:
Whereas Section 16 Of the constitution Of
the republican league of the United States
says: This league shall not in any manner en-
deavor to influence the national, state, county
or municipal convention, the delegates Of the
republican league Of the United States, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby renew their al
legiance to the principles of the republican
party, and pledge their best efforts for
the success of the candidates Of that party
Believing this convention has no instructions
from the republicans of the United States
or jurisdiction under our constitution to frame
party platforms, we hereby refer all resolu.
tionS in relation to public questions to the re-
publican national convention of 1896 with en-
tire confidence that its action will rebound
to the prosperity of our people and the contin-
ued glory and advancement of the country"
This is a clear evasion of the finan.
cial question. The gold people are
forced to abandon their position taken
in the beginning, and the silver people
are not strong enough to force through
their own platform, so the result is
seen in the ignoring of the money
question.
When Senator Thurston, of Ne bras
ka, who was in the chair. put the mo.
ton on the passage of the resolution,
loud chorus of ayes arose. Only
three or four feeble nayes were heard
when the other side of the question
was put.
Votes of thanks were rendered tc
the people of Cleveland and EXPRESS
dent w. w. Tracy. The election o1
!: treasurer was passed, and the conven'
ton adjourned sine die. 1t will now
devolve on the executive committee tc
choose the treasurer.
Gen. w. r. Moore, eX-congressmar
of Tennessee, had an address prepared
on the resources of the south, but the
convention adjourned without giving
him chance to deliver it.
