that the state ooventions OF all the leagues
throughout the Union be held upon the same
day. Being thus held that day would pre-
sent the league prominently before the people
OF the country in every state and such CON

Usefulness of the Organization.

In further reporting to you, it is proper for
me TO say that since became president, less
than one year ago, have travelled in twelve
states, and made in each Of those states from
one to ten speeches. have addressed six
state league conventions and four state
League banquets. BY this means, your presi-
dent has come in contact with the league
workers in large section OF the Union, and
he is now more than ever impressed with the
Importance ana usefulness Of this organiza-
tion. Those associated with me have labored
TO establish harmony between the league and
the regular party organization. The result of
your efforts in this direction have been most
gratifying. The league has a right TO exist so
long as 1t is useful agency for party sue
cess They can, and do, take charge of po-
ltical meetings, distribute literature, look af-
ter registration, and on election day become
responsible for every Republican casting a
ballot. l am glad TO report that in those
states where the Republican clubs were disin-
tegrated, by sentiment in favor Of free sill
yer. our, cause is full Of hope, and by and by
the league clubs of the silver states will
bring those states back into the Republican
column
During the last campaign, when the Demo
cratic candidate for president was travelling
about the country in palace cars telling the
people of their poverty and their Distress the
Republican League clubs, one by one were
finding their way to Canton, where they
heard the gospel Of hope the prophecy of bet
ter things 20 come. AS they returned to their
homes from the mecca of Repubiicanism,
they carried with them an enthusiasm that
made the campaign of 1895 the most mem
orable IN our country's history.

President woodmansee's Address.

Gentlemen OF tho copventon-In compli
ance with a custom that has become estab-
lished at our National League conventions,
venture to address you as your president upon
the state Of the league and Of our relations
and duties TO il and TO the Republican party.
The league has mission 20 perform, and ID
is eminently proper that we should annually
determine If this organization has measured
up 20 its possibilties-the pomp and ceremony
of a national assembly of this character are
so useless and 80 inappropriate If we cannot
learn lesson and profit by reason of the ex-
perience. Speaking. as do, for those who
during the last year have had charge Of the
affairs OF the league, / can say that we are
proud of what has been accomplished during
the closing administration. ! am able to re-
port that the debts of the league, which have
so long been a menace 10 its development and
a encouragement to its friends, have been
paid. can further say that every obligation
that has been incurred during the last year
has been provided for, and the officers whom
you may select at this convention will not be
required to divide their time between the
wants of the organization and the demands of
its creditors

made great stride forward Tuesday
by completing the consideration of the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill, except
the provision relating to Hawaii. which

graphs of the schedule were agreed to
without further opposition As agreed
to, the schedule places on sugar not
above No. 16 Dutch standard one cent
per pound, and .03 of cent for every

feafed. 81 to IS.
