and vice presidents and executive conn
mitteemen respectively named.
McAipin Chosen President.
The committee on resolutions, not
yet being ready to report, the rules
were suspended and the league pro-
ceeded to the election of officers.
George E. Green, of New York, nomi-
mated Adjt. Gen. E. A. McAlpin for the
presidency. The mention of Gen. Nc
Alpin's name was the signal for ire
mendous cheering. Numerous seconds
followed, and the rules were suspend
ed and the election made unanimous.
Gen. McAlpin addressed the conven-
ton, and, after thanking the dele
gates for the honor conferred upon
him, said:
1T is true that the delegates here repre-
sented do not, as matter OF fact represent
the entire republican vote Of the United
States, for they are the representatives of
volunteer republican organizations through
out the dieerent states and territor-
les For this very same reason our
deliberations and work should be marked by
the highest frankness and candor Of inter-
course and desire to advance the best in
terests of the government through the me-
dunn Of the great republican party of which
the league forms so large part
1T is not my intention, nor could / at this
moment and under the circumstances, speak
ut length on the great issues that divide the
republican and democratic parties On those
subjects the convention speaks through its
former resolutions.
1.-The republican party stands for all that is
best in our national history; it demands from
it's government honest currency and an honest
fur ha1f in hn r{n re of
all at home and commands respect abroad.
These, briefly stated are the princi-
pies to be contended for by our party, by US as
members of the Republican league, and which,
If honestly followed, will bring success in the
next great national election
Fridays Work.
CLEVELAND, O., June 24.-It was II
o'clock Friday morning before Gen.
McAlpin, in his new capacity as presi-
dent of the National League of Repub-
lican Clubs, called the meeting to
order. There was full attend
ance of delegates. At the be-
ginning of the morning session,
the first business was the election of
a secretary to the convention. T. E.
Byrnes, of Minnesota, nominated M.
j. Bowling, of the same state. Will
liam Kelly. of Wisconsin, seconded the
nomination of William Grant Eden, of
Illinois.
The roll call on the election of secre-
tary was begun, but was interrupted
by Chairman Robinson, of the commit
tee on resolutions, who asked unani-
nous consent to report. This was re-
fused. NJ. ]. Bowling. of Minnesota,
was elected. The vote was made
unanimous, on the motion of Gen. Golf,
of Illinois.
The committee on resolutions then
reported the resolution. There was
not even a show of fight over the reso-
luton. Nobody raised his voice
against it. When Senator Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, who was in the
chair, put the motion on the passage
of the resolution, a loud chorus of ayes
arose. Only three or four feeble noes
were heard when the other side of the
question was put.
Votes of thanks were rendered to
the people of Cleveland and ex-Presi-
dent w. w. Tracy. The election of
treasurer was passed, and the conven-
ton adjourned sine die. It will now
devolve on the executive committee to
choose the treasurer.
