Sylvester Shabin of San Francisco pro- tested against this course. He said there many deiegates present who de- sired to have resolutions read, and he hoped they would not be shut off in a summa manner. He asked the conven- tion to defeat the amendment. A viva voce vote being taken, the chair | declared the amendment carried. Shouts of division were raised, and when the standing vote was taken the affirmative was overwhelmingly in the majority. In quick succession motions prevailed for the appointment of a committee of twenty-five on order of business, one of three to select a place for holding the next convention, and another of eight, one from each Congressional District, Lo | draft resolutions of respect to the iam-| ory of the late President McKinley. The chairman asked for time in which | to make his selections, and this being granted it was decided to pass the interim in listening to brief addres A member of the Army and Navy League called for Colonel George A. Stone of San Francisco, who responded briefly, He referred to the aims and purposes of | the league, and said it was the duty of Republicans to do all in their power for the uplifting and maintenance of the prirciples of the party. Henry C. Dibble next addressed the con- vention. He sald the gathering was an expression by the Repubiicans of Cali- fornia of their approval of the national | administration. His ambition was to fix upon the minds of his hearers the great truth that the destinies of the na- tion were in the hands of the Republicags of the nation. Dibble spoke at length upon the admin- istrations of McKinley and Roosevelt, every allusion to the latter belng the sig- nal for cneers. In conclusion, he said: The Republican party was the instrument of God in bringing about the great achievements of the past few years. It is the duty of tiw people to assist In the perpetuation of the prin- ciples upon which the party is founded. Carey Van Fleet of tae University Club was introduced as a representatiye of the younger branch of the Repuoiican party of California. He expressed satisfaction at being allowed to gather with the old guard, dwelt eloguently upon the pur- poses of the party ana voiced the predic. tion that they would survive the eros- jons of time and the bitterness of oppos- ing partisansihp. He quoted the famous jon of Louis XV, ‘“/After us, the After the victories of the Re- publican party whcih the future assured, he said, the deluge may come; but its coming would long be-delayed, and, the speaker said, the Republican party would see to it that its effects would not seri- ously be felt. William A. Knighten of Los Angeles was introduced as the ‘‘preacher politi- cian.” He said he did not know who dubbed him a preacher politician, but he consoled himself with the Treflection that he was an American citizen. He praised California as being the greatest State— unless perhaps the state of matrimony might be so considered. He spoke of theland you will be successful.” mento;” Frank Mattison, Santa Cruz; Dudley | fraudulent, METHODIST YOUNG MEN TO LABOR FOR CHURCH Determined Effort Will Be Made to Raise Money for a New Building. One of the most representative gather- ings of the young men of the Methodist denomination ever called together in this morial Church. The purpose of the meet- ing was to devise ways and means by which the Methodist church might be ex- tended in this city. At the suggestion of Bishop Hamilton it was determined, amid considerable enthusiasm, that the young form themselves into a so- | ciety, to be known as the Men's Metho- | dist League. Through this league, Bishop Hamilton stated, he hoped to induce the young Methodist men to take more interest in the advancement of their re- ligion, and also to produce a more broth- erly spirit among the men themselves. The objects of the league were set forth in detail in a set of resolutions read by the Rev. A. C. Bane. In these resolutions it was declared that the church should enter upon a new %erlod of growth and that money should be raised with which | to purchase suitable church sites in parts of the city best adapted to the introduc- tion of the Methodist doctrines. It was decided to raise this money by increasing the assessment of the various churches, and the decision as to the amount that each church should be asked to con- tribute was left in the hands of the City Soclety. The new league will not, however, be devoted wholly to the construction of new houses of worship, but it will also have a socia flavor. A meeting will be held once each month, and it is intended that the first regular meeting of the league will be early history of California and said it was the Repbulican party that saved the State for the Union. The doctrine of Re- publicanism stood for the uplifting of mankind, the intégrity of the people and the welfare of the nation. So long as the Republican party was in_power, 8o long were the destinies of the Union safe. Grove L. Johnson of ‘Sacramento was next introduced. He was warmly re- ceived, and spoke in part as follows: When I saw these factions gathering to-day 1 realized that the party was unified, and that victory was ours in November. Speaking for myself, 1 don’t care who the nominees of the party may be, because I know that they are sure to be elected. (Cheers.) I feel that this meeting presages a_united party and that we are sure to win. We will again inscribe the word victory upon our party banner, and the news will reverberate throughout the Union that California stands for Republicanism and progr Johnson alluded to the “gauge of battle’” and the Gage partisans in the convention sought to stampede the body by a display of enthusiasm which was painfully forced. The southern delegates yelled lustily, but the main body remained quiet, with eves lifted to the ceiling. When the attempt to press the Governor upon the convention failed, several of the Alliance men began to sing 2 lively refrain in the interest of O. A. Hale. This was repeated several times during the oratory of the afternaon. Judge Buckles of Solano addressed the convention. He spoke 6f the intrepidity of the Union cause, which broke the back- bonz of the rebellion, and said that the cheering heard in the convention was an indication that the Republican party would break the backbone of Democracy, the coming fall. Unlike the previous speaker, Buckles did care a great deal as to the personnel of the candidates to be chosen. He was desirous that the very best men of the party should be selected. If the present purity of the party were maintained, he said,” there was no doubt of the result at the coming election. A number of letters and telegrams were read by the secretary. These included encouraging sentiments from Senator Per- kins, the California Representatives in Congress and Governor Gage. The latter expressed his regret at being unable to attend the convention, and his allusion therein to his own candidacy for renomi- nation was made the pretext for andther abortive attempt at enthusiasm. Scarcely had the sound died away when some one started the inevitable refrain. Hale, Hale, the nominee. What the Hale do we care? We'll Hale the nominee, When the display of enthusiasm died away Judson Brusie delivered a brief ad- dress, in which he referred to the con- vention as a “love feast.” Republican- ism, he said, meant the salvation of the country and the ennobling of the ple. He had a few good things to say, but he did not desire to waste them on the pres- ent gathering. “T'll wait until T get a bunch of Demo- crats before me,” he concluded, -amid laughter. “To Republicans as true as you are, 1 have little to say. Your minds may be made up, but when you leave here go away with the resolve to work and win held in June, on the return of Bishop Hamilton from the Bishops’ meeting in the East. Bishop Hamilton, who may well be termed the father of the new soclety, in advocating the organization of the league spoke in an entertaining manner to the young men. He told them of the wonder- ful growth that California and the United States is experiencing. He quoted sta- tistics showing that hundreds of thou- sands of the people of the countries of Southern Europe are coming to America. He declared that these people are alien to American customs and institutions, and he advised the young men of the Methodist thesc foreigners in the doctrines of their church. —————— Condemns the Passion Play. NEW YORK, April 14.—The preshytery of New York at its semi-annual meeting to-night went on record as commending the efforts made to prevent the produe- tion of the passion play and Nazareth in this city and also emphatically condemned any effort to produce on the public stage any scenes from Christ's life, —————— Piles Cured Without the Knife.

The arrival of the Primary League, headed by a brass band, interrupted Judge McDonald of San Diego, who had just been introduced. He said the Republican porty wab.ah sctive force, while the emocratic party was an inert quantity. The first meant progress and prosperity; the second, merely adversity. The prom- ises of the future were of the brightest hue. The speaker felt that California was safe under the Republican banner, and he gosed a.ftger e." scathing :Ir}'ulignn;el!:; ncrf emocratic polic: rinciples, W unqualified oricbAtht o the " adminis: tration’s course concerning Cuba and the Philippines. Senator Charles M. Shortridge next took the floor and said it was time to “play ball.” He addressed the convention as “fellow statesmen,” and was glad to ex- tend to the visitors a hearty welcome to 8San Jose. At the close of the Senator's address there were yells for Ruef. He was re- ceived with cheers on taking the platform. He said, in part: We did not come here to talk, but to listen We came here because we are Republicans and because we belleve in the principles of our great party. This gathering shows that we are united, and the interest that is displayed proves that your fealty to the greatest parly in the history of the nation has mot dimiu- ished. 1 am proud to be identified with such a party. The Republican party is the foundation for the prosperity which the nation enjoys. Let us go forth into this campaign and let us, with the assured certainty of victory, stand hand In hand and shoulder to shoulder for the common good of the greatest party known to history.

ORATORS HOLD FORTH AT EVE Enthusiastic Audience Hears the Principles of Republicanism Expounded. SAN JOSE, April 14.—The public session of the league convention attracted a large attendance at the Auditorium to-night. The audience included many ladies and for nearly three hours the Republican spell-binders exercised their sovereignty, and the flow of oratory was incessant. As was the case at the afternoon ses- sion, the Republican Alliance marched into the theater to the tune of “There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To- night,” played by the band. The march through- the streets to the Auditorium was enlivened by the burning of countless red, white and blue fire torches and the singing of popular songs. There was a long wait at the theater for the chairman of the evening, and, pending his arrival, the crowd held a rag-time jollification meeting, during which confetti was dis- tributed among all comers with liberal hands. It was after 8 o'clock when President Anderson called the meeting to order. After several selections sung by the Arion Quartet, Duncan McKinlay of San Francisco was introduced as the “young silver tongued orator.” Speaking of the aims of Republican clubs, he said: Political clubs took a new departure in 1888, when the first of the latter day educational campaigns was carried on. We remember how Grover Cleveland, in 1887, issued nls famous free trade proclamation, whérein he declared for the policy of tariff for revenue only, and denounced protection as unconstitutional and The application should be filed with the com- mission, with specimens of the applicant's work. All persons will be examined whose papers are recelved at the commission in time to ship papers to the places selected for ex- amination.

Republicans will never forget how the match- less and {dolized champion of Americanism, James G. Blaine, picked up Cleveland's gaunt- let of deflance and accepted the challenge of l?elfl'nrl)fincy to meet them on their chosen bat- tlefield. In order to insure success to the Republican party in that momentous campaign the Ameri- | can people had to be educated to a thorough | understanding of the issues involved. Then be- gan the organization of the clubs, which after- ward became known as_the Republican League oi Clubs—in Indiana, New York and Illinois. These Were the pivotal States of the campalgn | of 1888. In 1802 the Democrats were better educators thani ‘We. They taught the doctrine of cheap- ness and opposition to American enterprise very effectually, but their very success and their election of Cleveland, a Demoeratic House of Representatives and a Democratic Senate was, after all, the best education on the issue of protection 'versus low tariff the American people ever had. As soon as the false doctrines of Democracy on the issue were exploded by actual experience, the reaction in favor of Re- publican principles set in, educational work of the Republican League, in 1894, the flow tide of right thinking on this great {ssue carried Into the House of Repre- sentatives and the Senate of the United States an overwhelming Reépublican majority. But _the most important work of the Repub- lican League was accomplished. in 1896, when, despite the frantic efforts of the fusion of De- mocracy and every schism under the sun: de. spite the false lights kindled along the political shore; .despite the ravings and howlings of demagogy and false prophecy, the Republi- can party swept like a mighty flood over the North and West and placed in the Presidential chalr one of the purest men, one of the sound est statesmen, one of the most exalted patriots that ever gave his labor and his life to lift up and dignify his country. In every campaign since 1888 club organiza- tion and intelligent educational club work have been potent agencies contributing to the suc- cess of the Republican party, and the power and glory of the American naflon at home and abroad. Frank Short of Fresno was next intro- duced.. His subject was “Our Untimely Dead,” and it was treated in a highl thoughtful manner. Short opened his ad{ dress with the statement that the great attribute of the human race that has most distinguished it in all times and in all ages was respect for its ancestors and hope for its posterity. Without this in- fluence prevailing in a controlling degree nothing good could long survive. The enuine Our New York buyer and aided by the | TRIBUTE TO DEAD L EADER Frank H. Short of Fresno Eulogizes McKinley. speaker referred to the assassination of rulers and deplored the fact that little g0od toward the prevention of such crimes could be accomplished by the dl; rect operation of law. en, speaking o Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, the speaker sald they were of that type of men that, even from the point of view of the assassin, did not justify assassination. Each rose from the ranks of the-common people to the highest ’Y‘ll:u within the gift of his countrymen. e qualifications of the great martyrs were next discussed in eloquent strain, and in conclusion Short sald: Never again in this history of the ‘world can there be spread out before any people such an imperial dominion as has been subjugated by our race. No other race can ever excel in worth or virtue those ancestors of ours, who possessed the courage to liberate themselves from others and a rectitude equal to the task of self-subjugation and an energy that has turned a wilderness of wastes and woods into a wilderness of cities and of homes; a race that wrested the scepter from tyrants and the light- ning from the cloud: a race that gave free- dom to mankind and a recompense harnessed and enslaved the elements to infinitely greater toil and usefdlness. If such a people upon such a dominion could not found a government of the people and for the people and by the people that could long éndure, by what stretci of the imagination or dream of philosophy shall man- kind ever again be induced to strive or hope? This understood_and considered, we are not upen trial for the Republican party; not for this nation or the union of States; not for a genera- | tion or even a race; but we are upon trial for | human Tliberty, equality, self-government for | manking and for all time. Let us hope that it shall be God’s will and way that those wa mourn to-day as our untimely dead, with others whose worth and service have adorned the his- tory of our party to such a degree that they have passed beyond and above us and belong to our country and to mankind, shall from the battlements above long continue to look down upon the nation and the peopie that they served and loved so well, and may they ever see their countrymen free, equal and untrammeled, and this nation moving on its destined and de- signed course—that, seeing, they may know | that they lived not, labored not, neither died n vain. Albert G. Burnett of Santa Rosa fol- lowed with a stirring speech on the sub- Ject “Young Men in Politics.” He called attention io the necessity/of young men engaging in politics as a sacred duty. It was because of the apathy of the young men that corruption too often prevaile in the city, State and national politics. Referring to Republican young men the speaker resumed: Disclaiming any ire to provoke inviduous comparisuns, I may that the last half century of the world’s progress has failed to produce more noble examples of sterling inde- pendence, of dauntless courage, of lofty pa- triotism and intelligent and constant devotion to the well-being of society than those fur- nished by the virile and ambitious youns men who have made our party what it is—the ad- | miration of the world and a potent agency of civilization and the strongheld of justice 1 law. The young men of our party have not quailed In the presence of danger: they have | accepted reverses with complacency; they have | shown moderation in the hour of success. In every emergency they have obeyed the call of | duty and have stamped upon the enduring menuments of the age their own herole, in- trepid and patriotic characters. The time is coming when conventions will be controlled, platforms will be formulated, tho offices will be fllled and the functions of gov- ernment will be executed by men seeking not their own, but the glory of the republic. To | the practiced politician who fs In poli for | the loaves and fishes this may seem a Utopian | dveam, but the world 1s moving on to Righer | and better things. But the party will not fail to arise to the | full measure of its opportunities. It w here and there on its onward course; its confl- dence will be betrayed sometimes by selfish men; in its efforts to promote our own wel- fare it may seem to lack sympathy with the struggling sons of liberty in other lands: but it will recant its errors in time and continue to build securely upon the old foundations that bave challenged the admiration of the best men of the age. The party will continue to | recognize its obligations, by legislation | and through the instrumentality of homest ard competent officlals, to advance more and more the highest interests not only of our own peo- ple but of the whole civilized world. May the young men ‘‘just fresh from the Creator's hands and with the unspent energles of tha coming eternity wrapped in their bosom’" con- template the mighty gifts with which they have been endowed and resolve that they will d vote themselves as far as possible to the wel- fare of the State and of the nation, and may they remember, as Robert C. Winthrop said, | “that self-government politically can only be successful if It be accompanied Dy seif-govern ment personally; that there must be govern- ment somewhers, and that if the people are indeed to be soverelgns they must exercise their sovcreignty over themselves individually as well as over themselves in the aggregate, regulating their own lives, resisting their own temptations, subduing their own passions and veluntarily imposing upon themselves some measure of that restraint and discipline which unde> other systems is supplied from the ar- mories of arbitrary power; the discipline of virtue In the place of the discipline of slavery. At the close of the address Chairman Anderson announced that Samuel M. Shortridge, who was to have addressed the meeting, had been unexpectedly called from the theater, but that he would de- liver a speech at the opening of the con- vention to-morrow morning.
