Wiiaiamsport, Sept. 2& Delegates to the annual convention of the State League of Republican Clubs came thick and fast late last night and early this morning, and Williamsport is now crowded. There are none of the party's big men on hand that were really expected, though many were promised who had no intention of vis iting the lumber metropolis. A late special on the Beading last night brought from Philadelphia Mayor Stuart and his private secretary, State Chairman Eeeder, General 1). H. Hastings, Colonel Charles X. Mann, Colonel John F. Glenn, Magistrate Clem ents and a few others. They were met at the station and escorted to the Park Hotel where a reception was held, lasting over an hour. Then the big crond split cp into small parties and the big hotel was a noisy place until daylight The convention was slow in assembling to day and it was not until after 11 o'clock that President Congressman Kobinson rapped lor order. The handsome new Opera House was well filled, the boxes con taining quite a number of ladies. The sta?c was decorated with big portraits of Harri son and Keid and with numerous rich ban ners carried by the several clubs. Tlic Most Enthusiastic Demonstration. The entrance of Mayor Stuart was the sig nal lor a round of hearty applause, which was the most enthusiastic demonstration made, except that which followed a mention of the name of Senator Quay. Congressman Kobinson proved to be anything but a firm chairman, and allowed some delegates to tangle him up in providing for the various committees to propose business for the con vention. After a great deal of confusion the lists were completed and a recess taken for dinner. After the convention, on motion of ex Sheriff Leeds, of Philadelphia, had re scinded the Scran ton resolution providing for the indiscriminate admission of mush- room clubs, the rules of the United States Congress, as interpreted by ex-Speaker Thomas E. Reed, were adopted, and a reso lution expressing sympathy with President Harrison in the illness of his wife was also agreed to. At the afternoon session the attendance was again large, and the convention lost no time in getting to work. The report of the Committee on Resolutions was piesented by the Chairman, George E. Vicker, and adopted without debate or dissenting vote. Indorsed tbe Administration. The resolutions follow: Whereas, We, the delegates of the Repub lican League of tho State or Pennsylvania, Jn tho fifth annual convention of said organ ization assembled, realizing the importance ot the occasion which brings us together in thin, the year of the canvass for the Presi dency of tho United States, deem it fitting to place on record as the sense of this body the following resolutions: Resolved. That we heartily indorse the administration of President Harrison as having been pure, pattiotic and statesman like, the wisdom of who-e policy and acts of the past tour years are a Kuaranteo to the people of the country that their interests whether at home or in foreign lands will bo snfe lor years more under his continued ad ministration of the duties of the Presi dency. Kesolved, That we heartily Indorse the work of the Fifty-first Conaiess and e- Eecially its action in the passage of the Mc llnley taiiff measure, the benefits of which to American labor and capital are beinr everv da moie clearly and forcibly de monstrated as current Industrial statistics whether trom Democratic or Republican sources abundantly attest. Active AVork Recommended. Resolved, That wc endorse the action of the Republican State Convention in nomi nating that experienced and able jurist, Hon. John Dean, of Iilair county, for Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, and in naminir for Congressmen at large that tried ami proved Republican, General William Lilly, or Carbon county, and the able and repiesentattve champion of his party's prin ciples, llujor William McDowell, of Mercer. Ecolveu, That the Republican Leazue, tnri'ngh Its de ogatcs, recommend that upon the return home or itsiepresentatlves here assemb'ed, they set to work actively to familiarize their voters of their lespective localities with the operation of the new bal lot law in order that no votes shall he lost in the coming election through tailuie orrthe part of voters to fully understand the le quit etnents of the said law. Jicsolved, Tnat we, the lepre-ontatives of tho Republican League, pledge ourselves to work until in-ly in this canvass as wo have ever worked in the pa-1, toward aid ing in bringing about the election of tho candidates who represent the principles of the party whom we now endorse and to the end that Republicanism may be maintained, and thus may be continued the prosperity and happiness or the people of this land. Robinson Chosen to Succeed Himself. There being no contests, the Credentials Committee had nothing to do, and the com mittee appointed to select the place lor holding the convention next vear decided upon Reading, though the delegates from the Western part of the State made a modest fight lor Erie, but Reading was agreed upon, and then President Robinson called Magistrate William B. Ahem, of Philadelphia, to the chair, and the latter announced that the election of officers was in order. W. L Shafer.of Delaware county, wai the first to obtain recognition, and in a rat tling speech nominated Jack Robinson, of Media, to succeed himself, and spoke of him as the "beau ideal" of the voung Re publicans of Pennsylvania, a bold and dash ing leader, a daring politician and a thor ough organizer. jlis nomination was seconded by Etnmer fon Collins, of Lycomins. Then Colonel John F. Glenn 'moved that nominations close and that John B. Robinson be elected by acclamation. His motion prevailed, and Robinson went through with a hurrah. He was ecorted to the stage by ex-Congressman H. Clay McCormick, and modestly re turned thanks for the great honor conferred npon him. Mr. Robinson said he donbted the efficacy ol the Baker ballot law for which he voted us a member of the State Senate, bat the in tricacies of which he did not comprehend. Tbe law practically declares that every man must have a gnardian when he goes to vote, and if he does not vote himself some one else can do it for him. Other Officers Selected. Colonel Wendell P. Bowman, in his isual pretty style, nominated for Vice President Prank J. R. Jones, the colored lelezate from Philadelphia; and Jones, jeorge S. Lenhart, of Williatniport: Will am D- Wallace, of Venango, and John C. barter, of Lancaster, were elected Vice presidents. William Linn, of Philadel ihla, and E. . Randolph, of Allegheny coiinty, were elected Secretaries, "and Mnhlon D. Young, of Philadelphia, Treas urer. fThen the committee appointed to select delegates at large to the National Conven tion reported the following list which was accepted: William H. McCleary, Dr. A. J. B.irchfield and Fred IC Gearing, of Pittsburg; John N. Heel), of Allegheny; E. S. Stuart, John Tayior, William B Leeds nnd Charles L. Brown, of Philadelphia; T. L. Eyre, Chester county; W.' J. White honse, Schuylkill; Harry J.: Shoemaker, Bucks; Everett Warren, Lackawanna; Emnierson Collins, Lycoming; W. Linn Rttchey, Franklin; R. A. Newbergin, Erie; Thomas C Wilcv, Lancaster. Then the usual resolution of thanks was adopted and the convention adjourned. Mass Sleeting and Fireworks. To-night's mass meeting was preceded by an extensive torchlight parade which was participated in by all the local and visiting clubs numbering several thousand. Sev eral brass bands were in line and the dis play was really a fine one, red fire and fire works being plentiful. The Opera House was crowded to its utmost capacity and an overflow meeting wrs held in the Court House. The speakers at both places were General D. H, Hastings, Congressman Stone, Major Alexander McDowell, James P. Burke and several others, all of whom were warmly received. According to Congressman Robinson, 195 clubs out of the 233 in good standing re sponded to the roll call, but the tally kept showed that the responses did not exceed 1C5. Qnite a number of delegates have al ready left for home. Mayor Stuart and his party will leave at midnight and by to morrow noon Williamsport will have re sumed her customary repose. HOBLE? WILL HAVE AH INQUIRY To Imesticate the Whole Question of Ei ictions Under tho Land Act. Dublin, Sept 28. Mr. Morley, Chief Secretary lor Ireland, has sent a letter to Justin McCarthy, in which he says, con cerning the evicted tenants in Ireland: "The Government decided to appoint a small commission to examine the question promptly and impartially. They intend that the inquiry shall cover estates within the scope of section 13 of the land act, where disputes still exist: out all cases where evicted tenants have quitted the country will be excluded. The commission will report on the number, circumstances, cost and results of evictions and on all mat ters bearing on the question in any way, in cluding an offer made for settlement "We institute the inquiry in good faith, in the hone that both landlords and tenants will assist, and in the belief that it is an in dispensable preliminary to effectual meas ures for healing a very deep social mis chief." lOKDOK'S COMING CATHOLIC MAYOR Offers a Novel Compromise to Quiet tlie Scruples of the Protestants. London, Sept 2& The proposed selec tion of Stewart Knill, Alderman for the Bridgeuithian ward, who is next in rota tion as Lord Mayor of London, has aroused considerable discussion and opposition, in view of the fact that Mr. Knill is a Roman Catholic and that the Lord Mayor is re quired to attend certain religious services of the Anglican church and to have an Anglican chaplain. In response to inquiries by Lord Mayor Evans, Mr. Knill has written a letter, in which he cays that in the event of his selec tion as Lord Mayor he would have an Anglican chaplain to perform public duties, while his private chaplain would be a Cath olic. Mr. Knill adds that he would not at tend Anglican services personally, but that he would appoint a substitute to represent him at such services. Mr. Knill won much 1 confidence bv his frank answers to the questions asked by the Lord Mayor. JACK THE RIPPER LOOSE AGAIN. Two 3Inrders in Germany Look Very Much Like His Handiwork. Bekmnv Sept 28. The body of a woman of the town has been found in a sand pit, near the Spandauer Beck Brewery at Char lottenberg. The woman had been strangled and then mutilated in the same manner as the victims of "Jack the Ripper." This is the second crime of the kind committed in Berlin recently. In the other case, some months ago, the body of a (alien woman was found tied in a bag'in the back yard ot the Williamstrassc This case has never been cleared up, nor has any trace of the murderer in yesterday's case been found. The expertness shown in the work of mutilation has aroused the old apprehension that "Jack the Ripper" has deserted the Whitechapel district of Lon don and resumed his fiendish work here. REbHOND'S HOME RULE DEMANDS. Tho Irish Parliament Must Control tho Jndiciary, Police id Land. LONDOjr. Sept 2a In an article pub lished to-day Mr. Redmond, leader of the Parnellite faction, approves the home rule programme of Isaac Butt Mr. Redmond declares that the Parnellites are willing to accept a statutory Parliament, with an executive responsible to it, leaving un touched the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament on purely imperial questions, on which alone Irish members shall have the right to sit and vote at Westminster. The Irish Legislature, he says, must con trol the judiciary, police and land. These points he pronounces vital, and declares they cannot be compromised. He believes it would be better for Ireland to wait an other generation rather than accept a scheme not granting these demands. JEBTJIIS OUT OF TH2 POPE'S REACH. ror the First Time They Meet Outside of Rome to Elect Their General. Madkid, Sept 2a The monastery at Az Peitoa, the town near which Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, was born, is the scene to-day of a great meeting of members of the order.

It is expected that several days will be occupied lit selecting a new head lor the order. This is the first time since the found ing of the society when the election of a General, who holds for life, is outside'of Rome. This was done to escape the influ ence of the Vatican. CHUfiCHIU'S AFRICAN SCHEHS, Ho Ileads a Syndicate to Colonize tho Trans vaal and Mashonaland. London", Sept. 2a A syndicate was reg istered at Somerset House yesterday to ex ploit the Transvaal and Mashoualand. Lord Randolph Churchill, who takes 11 000 shares, and Colonel North and C S.

MAKSErti.ES,Sept2a HerrLeibknecht, in an interview, has- said that the German Socialists are strongly opposed to the Ger man military law; that Germany is dying of militarism, and that the Socialist party irfTGermanv will gain 1,000,000 votes in the next election. THEM'KINLEYMEET11G Continued JfYom tint age. Laughter. The Democrats base their hopes on the misfortunes and calamities of the people.- The Demoorats can't stand prosperity. The Senate,committee showed not long" ago how the price of necessaries had dropped and labor had advanced. The Labor Commissioners of Indiana, Massa chusetts and New York confirmed the re-' bort The Democrats may arrest Mr. Peok, but they can't arrest the'prosperity of the people. Think of them indicting a man for saying the people in the State are prosper ous and their wages have gone up. Why that is not a crime. "Now I want to say that every Repub lican vote should be cast Id? theJtepublican candidate for Congress in this district. You can't vote your sentiments at Washington, so stand by the man, Mr, A'cheson, who would represent you. Applause. And I couldn't stop without saying a word'for my old friend Mr. Lawrence, with whom I served in Congress so long. He'should have vour united support Voic: "He shall." And don't forget to vote (or Har rison and Keid. Mr. Harrison is tne man who said to a foreign natijn that this country had never taken orders from an enemy before and aid not proposi to com mence now. The English papers are de claring for the election of Grover Cleveland. They don't want our tariff That farifl was made for yon, and every interest of the country was invited to come in iind help make it Washington county wai heard in behalf of wooL We had no thought all the time except for the good of our country men. The law is vindicating itself every day. ' Established a New Industry. "When the Democrats beat us; two years ago, the tariff law was onlythreeweeksold too young to speak lor ltsell. it is -U months old now, and able to do its own talking. We established a new industry, tin plate. Howls of glee. They ca'll them political mills. Well, I am tor the politics that builds these mills every time. I cannot believe that the people of this country will consent to the overthrow of the economic policy under which they have enjoyed such unexampled prosperity. I cannot believe that people of this country will reverse a policy which has been in operation now for more than 30 years of our history and which presents at its close results which could not have been attained bv auy other system and which certainly have not been accomplished in any other country of the world. "I cannot believe that the people of this country can be induced to return to tree trade and wild-cat money, free trade which will disturb all values revolutionize the business of the country and reduce the wages of labor, a Stale bank circulation which will bring disaster to the laborers and producers of the country. When a man gives a full day's work to his employer he is entitled to be paid in a dollar worth 100 cents, whether he works under free trade or under protection. Eree trade will bring down tlie wages of our producers to the level of that of their former rivals, and State bank circulation will rob them still lurther of their earnings by compelling them to take, in payment for their labor, a debased and worthless currency. The adoption of either or both of these platform declarations of the Democratic party is fraught with the gravest consequences nnd which every good citizen should unite to avert." PLEA FOR ANDY STEWART. Dalzell Says the Colonel Was Bobbed of His Scar, and He Calls "on tlie Voters to Re turn Him to Congress An Address That Caught tho Crowd. After McKinley got through.the field of national politics had been pretty thor oughly traversed, but this did not deter Congressman Dalzell from producing some new ideas on the tariff The Utile Pitts burger was well received, and spoke for fully an hour. He followed the line of ar gument presented in his speech at the West End last Saturday evening and already published in The Dispatch. In his effort Mr. Dalzell among other things said: "In the list of great men in this country Benjamin Harrison is at home with his peers. The Republican platform speaks for honest money, protection to American capital and labor, and for an honest ballot and free Aunt It looks to building up the navy and insists always on the glory of our people. The Democratic platform is mer ciless with the brntal frankness with which it ignores labor and the vested rights of the country. Not content with aiming a blow at our economic system, it tries to knock out our national banks and substitute in stead State banks with their notes of little or no value. The Republican plat form stands for all that is American, for honest money and the economic system that lias made us the greatest manufacturing na tion in the world. Ko Chinese Wall Built Yet. "Democrats contended that the McKin ley bill would build a Chinese wall around the country. Our exports last year were over ?2,000.000,0v0. For the first time in our history our free imports amounted to 555,000,000. That is, under the McKinley bill our free imports amonnted to 511,000,000 more than dutiable goods. Before we got foreign goods and they got our money. Laughter. More home manufactories, greater opportunities to work nt better wages, money kept at home. These are some ot the fruits ot the McKinley bilL "But the half has not yet been told. What is reciprocity? It is free tiade in non-competing products. South of us are countries that produce many things we do not There is no duty on tea, cofiee or rub ber. These articles came into our ports free while our goods went 'into their land charged with a tariff. Here reciprocity stepped in and removed the foreign duty. Reciprocity is the introduction of the golden rule among nations. It has opened up a commerce that is worth to us 5500, 000, 000 vearly. "Under the treaties our foreign com merce with Southern countries has in creased 510,000,000 annually. Formerly our imports from Brazil amounted to 60.- 000,000 vearly and they bought from us 510,000,000 worth. That is, they took our money and spent it in other countries. Now reciprocity aims to even up this trade and have the balance in our ttavor. The tariff on tin plate is building 42 plants in the country and has invested 55,000,000 in that industry. We have already turned out 20, 000,000 "pounds. It is easily made and we can produce it An American Can Make Anything. "An American can make anything that any workman on the earth can turn out We paid England 536,000,000 for tin plate last Year. Why shouldn't that money be kept here to enrich our own people? I can sav 'that Steel & Co., woolen manufacturers, of Liverpool, nave removed tneir plant to Bristol, Pa., as a result of the McKinley bill." Mr. Dalzell said the tariff was a tax, but the people did not pay it He relerred to the constitutionality of levying duties and stated that Andrew Jackson sat down on Calhoun, who first raised the question. He added that the Democratic platform means revolution, and the people do not want the freo trade of Calhoun and the Southern Confederacy. He spoke of the last Republican Congress which refunded the direct tax, paid the French spoliation claims and dotted the country with public buildings. They were accused of gross extravagance. The Demo cratic House with a big majority comes along without having passed an appropria tion lor a public building, and it spends 542.000,000 more than the Congress con trolled by Speaker Reed. Mr. Dalzell made a string appeal for Colonel Andy Stewart He said he had been robbed of his seat, and as a matter of iustice'he called on the voters to send him. back and rebuke the Democrats, He wound up by advising the Republicans of the district to support Acheson for the long term in Congress. ANDY TICKLES THE CROWD. ' Mr. Robertson Talked to the People as an Old-Time Glassblowrer. A. C. Robertson made a characteristic speech. After McKinley and Dalzell got through the crowd wanted something free and easy and they got it. Andy told sev eral good stories that made the people laugh and put everybody in a good humor. He grew eloquent at times and received lots of applause for his efforts. He began by saying that the people had heard the tariff discussed by two of the ablest men in the country, and now he would handle tho subject from a practical point of view, as "a man who had been a glassblower for 21 years." This remark made Dalzell smile, and put his audience into a roar. He re-, ferred to Dalzell as the man who killed W. L. Scott politically. "I am a Republican," continued Andy in his dramatic way aud with a faint tinge of Scotch brogue, "because I am opposed to the Democracy." He spoke of Blaine, and then the cheers were terrific. He said the free trade of the Democrats was a conspir acy against America hatched in England. Andy touched up wildcat banking and re marked that this plank of the Democratic platform, if put in force, would rnin the national currency. He is proud of the Re publican party for the great men it has pro duced and the rapid development 'of the country under the protective system. HO FBEE XBASE F03 HIM. President Eberhart Tells How Ho Saw Women Work in Belgium. President Eberhart, of the Window Glass Workers, was not down on the programtae, but he was called ou for a speech, and mttde a good one. He was introduced by Andy Robertson. Mr. Eberhart was taken by surprise, but be impressed the crowd with his earnestness. He talked well fori at least 20 minutes. He said he was always glad to do anything that would benefit the men in the organization he represented. Voting the Democratic ticket is no laugh ing matter, and he warned his hearers! to steer clear of Grover Cleveland and Aulai Stevenson. "I never realized," continued Mr. Eber hart, "how much a protective tariff doesjtor American workmen until the glass workers sent agents abroad to gather statistics. I visited Belgium, and was surprised to pee women wheeling coal and doing other heivy work in the glass houses. They arrived in the morning from their homes, car rying babes in their arms. The little ones were wrapped up with bid clothes, and left in a corner, while the mother toiled for a living. I never wint to see women slave lite their Belgian lis ters in this country. I never want to tee American workmen compete with the gentler sex, and I have come to the con clusion that the tariff is the only thing that will protect our people from being dragged down to the European level." 1 Air. Eberhart talked along in this vein, discussing the protective system from 'a practical standpoint His remarks weie listened to attentively, and made a deep impression on his hearers. He aid the price ot window glass under the tariff had been greatly reduced, while the wages of the men "were maintained. He had also seen enough of pauper labor in Europe to satisfy himself that free trade would be bad for the United States. Cannibals on the gtage. The latest novelty in the dramatic lino is a play in which cannibals are to be a feat ure, when produced at Vienna. Its author is Mr. Wcstmark, who has lived in Africa, and his play is called "Among the Anthro pophagi." Stanley and De Brazza are among the characters, The action com mences in Brussels with the departure of explorers bound for Kongo. There are scenes at Leopoldville and other stations, but the crowning event is a battle with can nibals. Investigating the- Water Supply.

Dr. Morrow protested that the Bible Society paid into the district cht -ches a great deal more money than the chrVches paid the society, and he referred to Jhe fact that the society pnt 51,000 into Joinstown alone after the flood that de strjyed the city. Dr. Baldwin spoke earnestly for the UMversity at Washington, urging that its maintenance was the means to the end of higher education. He also made a plea for the establishment of a "Lincoln Hall" in th University, pointing to the fact that th great war President had no fitting memorial in this countrv, and suggesting that the Methodist Episcopal Church misrht this honor his memory most becomingly.

Mr. Riter, of Brownsville, whose alleged irresrn larities resulted in charges of immorality and conduct unbecoming a minister, was permitted to quit the ministry and this con ference.

Statements That Are True and Straight to the Point. Bead What Ho Says, for His Words Are' of Great and Peculiar Interest. So one knows better tnan the faithful pastor the great valna of sound physical and nerve strength. The strain upon Drain and nerve, tho physical exhaustion following ex cessive work, the responsibilities and sym pathies with afflictions and tbe myriad cares make the earnest preacher's duties arduous and wearing in the extreme. We do not wonder, therefore, at tho strong and ringfng words of praise which the eminent divine, Eev. C. D. E. Meacham, gives the most wonderful of medicines, Dr. Greene's Uervnra blood and nervo remedy. When he was run down in health, weak in nerves, prostrated in strength, and with his blood badly impaired, he was restored to sound nnd vigorous health by this mar velous health renewcr. Heieare the exact facts in his own words: "I am very glad to say in regard to Dr. Gieeno'screat remetlvthat when mv blood was badly Impoverished by an old scrofula humor, and my nervous system was greatly impaiied. Dr. Greene's medicine gave me wonderful relief. "At the present time my health Is as good as at any time in my life, and my confidence In Dr. Greene's remedy is constantly In creasing. Eev. C. D. E. MEACHAM. Pastor Baptist 'Church, Townshend, Vt." Wo liavo published the testimonials of vast numbers of people who were cured by the use of the great discovery, Dr. Greene's Nervnra blood and nerve remedy, but we take more pleasure in giving to tho world Eev. Mr. Meacham's own words in regard to the wonderful benefits he received from this valuable remedy, because we realize that the earnest words of a minister will have great weight with sufferers from disease, and everybody who reads his convincing -words In regard to the sure and remarkable cuiativo powers of this medicine will lose no time in scenring a bottle and thus obtain a cure. It is purely vegetable and perfectly harm less, and is kept by all druggists at $1 00. Its discove-er is the well-known Dr. Gieene, of 35 West Fourteenth street. New York, who gives consultation and advice free to the sick, personally or by letter. Tbe 'sick should use immediately Dr. Greeno's Nervnra blood and nervo remedy, for It 1st not only the best remedy ever discovered, but those using it have the privilege of con sulting Dr. Greeno concerning its effects, their health, etc This fact alone guarantees the assurance or a cure.
