Cheyenne, Wyo., July 7.-(Special
Correspondence 1.-The state
ton of the Republican League clubs
held a very satisfactory meeting at the
parlors of the Lincoln club this after
noon There was a large attendance
and the enthusiasm was great. Every
thing worked as smooth as oil till a res
olution was introduced bq Colonel
Crawford of the Saratoga Il endorS-
ing the administration and giving
credit to worthy men of the army and
navy. 1t was sought by a minority to
have this resolution referred to a COM
mittee on resolutions, to be appointed
by the chair. but this was resisted, the
majority not being in favor Of having a
committee appointed to draft resolu-
lions defining party policies at this
time. believing it would be the part CT
wisdom to delegate such matters to the
republican state convention. where they
properly belong. The appointment of
the committee was defeated, and then
Colonel CrawfOrd's resolution was
amended so as to include commenda-
ton for our senators and state officers
and also an endorsement of the finan-
cial plank of the ST. Louis platform.
IN this form the resolution received the
unanimous vote Of the members Of the
league assembled.
In calling the convention to order
President Chester B. Bradley made a
brief but eloquent address. lie then
read the following kilograms:

Greeting to the republican, league of the
banner war state. All honor to Wyo-
ming's gallant soldiers, who will valor-
ously assist in redeeming the people Of
both ~hemispheres from the whitening
blight of Bourbon rule under which our

gree. suffered. In the face OF sixteen
months Of splendid administration in
peace and war. criticism is idiotic. Wy
oming republicans will enter the cam
paign as gaily as a Scotch guard goes
into a fight

Later in the proceedings, Mr.. Brad
ley received and read the following
telegram from Senator Clarence D.
Clark:
washington. D. c., July Hon.
Chester B. Bradley, President Wyoming
Republican League, Cheyenne, Wyo.
Greetings to the republican league of
Wyoming. One year of renewed re-
publican supremacy marks the differ
ence between business disaster and
business prosperity; between labor
begging for work at any wage and labor
fully employed at remunerative price.
With the trade balance for the year
greater hal ever before in the history
of the nation, with the evidence of in
%dividual and national prosperity ncreas-
ing on every side, the republican party
challenges criticism as to the wisdom
| of its administration of national af-
fairs. Once more in the red fires OF war
on land and seas it shows its capacity
to maintain the dignity of IL citizen
ship and the honor Of our flag, and once
more this year in supreme confidence
it appeals to the consideration, the wis
dom and the patriotism Of the Ameri-
can voter.
