Philadelphia, June 1s.-Re-affirm- ing allegiance to the principles of the Republican party and condemnfns combinations ifi restraint of trade. the National League of Republican Clubs today ended its convention. The reso- lutions adopted by the convention arc in part as follows:
 We pay tribute to our great leaders from our first standard bearer. John C. Fremont and Abraham Lincoln. the first Republican President to Roose- welt. our leader, the worlds first citl- zen who through his rugged honesty his pereistent determination, his un- fIa1ginR courage and his demand for a square deal for every person and every interest has gained not only the respec! and love of his fellow -countrymen' put the esteem and admiration or all man kind. ,,,,,
 We endorse the sentiment of William Mckinley that the principle Of pro tsctive tariff Is sacred, but that scned . ules should be changed when condltlohs of commerce. industry and finance de- mand. and not until then.
 We emphasize the results or tne op- era ton of the Dingley tarin. which ls giving us a surplus of revenue, unpar sIIeIcd activity fin our factories. for ests and mines, profitable prices for the products of our farms, greater bank rlearlnxs and relatively less failures than ever before; a continually larger volume of employment at higher wages, resulting in unprecedented consumption of not only the necessaries but com forts and luxuries of life augmented withal by larger savings and invest ments than have previously been re- corded In our history.
 We have a just -lde in our party's record In it's settlement of the cur rency question through the adoption Of the gold standard. in the establishment or the rural free delivery system. in the progress made in opening our lands to cultivation through irrigation; in the well begun work of connecting ocean and ocean with an Isthmian canal; In the many laws looking to the welfare of labor and nthe completion of pend ing legislation providing for equitable railroad legislation In interstate com merce; for better inspection of all food products: for free alcohol; for a new State; off an American merchant ma rine and the many other important measures which have been or are to be considered.

  of the masses We wage no war on capital or corporations as such but we do ask for equity and justice to all by all and for all.
 We are opposed to inequality which permits one-twelfth of the people of the country to wield one-quarter of the national legislative power, The sup pression of suffrage demands the re- duction of the power so usurped and the denial of suffrage should never be rewarded with political premiums. The Democracy of at ledst eleven States should be deprived of It's unfair pre- ponderance of power and the full meas ure of political rights secured to every qualified citizen, whit eand black, who is capable and willing to assert this political manhood. The politician that profits by the suppression the ballot ouhgt not to be trusted with the mak- irg or administration of the nations laws.
 We relterate the demand of our last national platform that our Republican majority in congress should coura e. ously carry out the principles consti- tutional amendments absolutely and finally e,ctlve.
 We ask for ioi mediate 'eRislatIon looking to the establishment of a par eel post currency or notes to facilitate trade, through orders by mall -
