DINGLEY LEADS.
In the Race For President of
Republican League.

Omaha, Neb., July 14.-Again the del
egates to the convention of the Repub-
can league of the United States were
slow in getting together and almost an
hour late in getting started.
The programme included reports from
committees and an address by ex-Gov-
ernOr Woodmansee of Cincinnati.
Only one committee was ready to re-
port in full, that on credentials. 1t had
no contests to dispose of, save the one
from Illinois. This was decided in ia
vOr Of the regulars, the anti-Tanner
men being given no representation.
The report of the committee was adopt
ed as read.
The committee on time and place of
location for the next convention held
another session this morning but has
not yet agreed upon its report. 1t is
quite probable that the matter viii be
turned over to the executive committee
of the league, to be settled during re
cess. The committee on resolutions will
submit a report unanimously endorsing
the administration of Mckinley and
the course of congress in providing Tor
the war and the annexation OF HaWan
and will also eulogize the administra-
ton of President Crawford OF the
league.
The committee on league work has
some changes to suggest in the organ
ization for the purpose of extending
the scope of the league. There is little
change in the presidential situation this
morning. 1t now appears L1AoAI Inc L e@GC
is between Dingley of Michigan and
Boyd of Maryland with the chances
seemingly in favor of Dingley- 1t is as
serted that the Pennsylvania forces
have given up the idea of electing So
bel of Erie and will give their support
to Dingley.
