MAINTAIN greater equity between capital and
| labor. To my mind this will. In the near fu.
ture, be the most important question, for there
| is spirit of unrest abroad in this great land
| originating from feeling OF unequal division
1 of the product OF this nation. The republican
! party on its return to power must face these
| questions. and it will meet them honestly END
4 sQuarely."
Senator John M. Thurston. of Ne
braska, made u red-hot protective tariff
speech. He said among other things
that the great trouble in this country
to-day is that the opportunities to ex-
change American muscle Tor American
money were too few. He continued:
1.-THE republican party will never let the
tariff question rest until it has been settled
right and forever. What this country needs is
not an opening OF the minis to the silver OF
helworld but an opening OF industries to the
muscle of the citizens"
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, president of
the Women's Republican league. fol-
| lowed Senator Thurston. She said
| that, she. had come from New Mexico,
800 miles, to talk at the meeting.
The three great republican victories
of the year were designated as the
| overthrow of Tammany in New York,
Waiteism in Colorado and the victory
in Kansas. She said that the women
were responsible for all of them.
wherever women are entitled to vote
she said, "the republican party is the
gamer. 1t has been demonstrated in
every case. The great questions be-
fore the republican party are she
tariff, as matter of course, nom
partisanship in municipal affairs and
the settlement of the controversy be-
tween capital and labor"
Hon. A. b. Cummins, of Iowa, pre-
sented an argument in favor of party
allegiance to protection, and said that
the tariff formed the corner stone and
only safety of the workinglnen of
America. Upon the silver question he
said the republican party stood firmly
upon the principles laid down in the
Minneapolis platform-that every dol
lar in circulation should have an equal
purchasing power, and favored a ratio
of 16 to |.

The Resolution.
CLEVELAND. O., June 22.-The work
of the eighth convention of the Ma
tional League of Republican Clubs was
practically ended yesterday when the
committee on resolutions finished it's
deliberations and formulated it's ad-
dress. A resolution presented to the
convention this morning is as follows!
Whereas, Section 10 of the constitution of
the republican league of the United States
says this league shall not in any manner en-
deavor to influence the action of any national
state, county or municipal convention the del
egates OF the republican league of the United
new their allegiance to the principles of the re-
publican party and pledge their best efforts for
the success of the candidates OF that party.
Believing that this convention has no instrnc-
tions from the republicans of the United States
or jurisdiction under our constitution to
frame or enuuciate party platforms, we here
by refer all resolutions in relation to public
questions to the republican national conven-
ton of 1896, with entire confidence that its &C
ton will rebound to the prosperity of the peo-
pie and the continued glory and advancement
of the country
1t was IL o'clock before the conven-
ton was called to order by President
Tracy. The delegates were present
in force, but there was a lack of in
terest on account of the overshadowing
of the meeting of the COM
mittee on resolutions in session at the
Hollenden hotel. The committee on
credentials was the first to report.
It reported that there was only one
contest, and that was in South Carolina,
