Ctevelami, June 19. The open, eeselon of Bhe Ishth annual comrvwniUan of Repub lican Clubs adjourned at 1 p. m. today, until 10 a. m. iumxxrow, ttflter disposing of ell preliminary and routine nutter. President Tracy opetiied the BetHiom with the foUow.ng pajtrtotc speech, which wa received with loud cheering: Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my duty and pleasure ito now formally dectore opened Che eighth annual oonventiion ot the republican national league. Our last oampitrea were laid upon the Mopes of the Rocky Mountains, in the heart of that vast western empire wuilch, wlft'h Us newer civilisation and youthful vigor gives to the nation mew 'blood, new 1 fe and energy. From the noble peaks ot 'these grand mouinialrus and from the exhilarating a'Dnosphere ot those beauti fu'l vculeye we drew new Inspirations, new thoughts, and came forM from Itlnat con vention well equipped for the campaign which wa3 then before us. I congratulate you as members of toe ropubCdcan ciuba of the. United States, the positive and. active force of t'hat cam paign, upon the great and overwhelming vloiory gulned by our party. Rarely In our political history has ia party elected Its candidates by eueh great pluralities. In congratuloitUng ourselves upon the work of party organdaaitLOm we must keep well in ntnd the fact that an influence far more potent Hhan parity organizations had been at work among the voters. NevtT before had the loaders of tfitat great party demonstrated such absolute inca pacity for administering affairs of gov eminent as had the democratic leaders for two years previous to that election. It was but a natural result chat the peo ple, disgusted W.th democratic states manship, should grasp the opportunity to administer a ladling rebuke to that party. The electron of last November sounded a note ot warning to the world. That the people of the United Sialics once and for aU declared themselves In favor ot protection tu American Industry and American luibor. It was a bugle note that awakened the sleeping Industries and brought new life Into the 'business world It caused the Area of the American fur' naoea to again awaken to an American demand; it has put the wtheels of com merce in minion and the glad hum of Industry must soon resound In the iand. Enterprise revivified .s extending her arms of iron Into new fields, into unex' plored territory, never to cease until old mother earlh shall have been made to give up 'her hidden treasures. In the farthermost corners of our territory. At such a time, when the business world has thrown off its shackles, wlhen the pent up power and farce of three lone; yearn is forming antoa aunrent which will bang prosperity and happiness to all the paople, it is most fitting that we Bliould join 'here in a general rejoicing over the possibilities of the future. We should rejoice that we are young and have pre. aented to us all great opportunities of good times to come, we should rejotce that we are Americans, youths of the youngest nation in history, and rejoice that we are members ot the greatest political party of the age, a party which from the first has represented In Its mem bership the Intelligence, patriotism ana higher ambitions of the republic. Thus It la with quickened steps and loyal hearts in iharmony with the times we come together as representatives of the Republican National League In this great tieart of republcanlsm, this beau, tiful ctty of Cleveland, to express our unlbounded confidence in Ithe Cnitegrity of the republican party and renew our fealty to that party in the name of the great leader, t'he martyred president, under the Shadow of whose tomlb we are now as sembled. As members of this organization we gather toere today to consider Jiow as intelligent and patriotic citizens we can best serve our country and party. This great gathering of young mien from every state In the Union, many of whom have traveled thousands of miles with no promise of preferment or reward, bears testimony to the great work this organization ihas accomplished ana demonstrates Its value to the party. Well may the republican party be proud sf this organization, for It is largely through its labors that tlhe young men of this country have been enlisted in Its ranks. The Hounding of a great league by two thousand young mem who gath ered In Clilckerlng Hall In New York City In December, 1887, marked out a new path In the political field, opening up as it did tor the young men and the first voters new avenues for practical political work. As a result it has given a po litical education to "the thousands of young men who otherwise would have had little interest in political affairs. To these whose Ideals have been somewhat removed from practical politics 1 has given an opportunity for individual effort. It has made out of .the political dreamer a practical idealist who is destined to be a most beneficial factor In tha future politics of the country. In this eighth year of our organization we find ourselves grown beyond our ex pectations. Our - conventions are the opening guns of every campaign. Our deliberations are listened to with the ut most consideration and evince the fact that the future of the league as a power for good in the republican party is as sured. No political party can exist long in any country which does not appeal In every way to the young men of the country. The enthusiasm or warm pa triotism of youth and tbe hustling prac tical young man's df-mand that the party to which he allies his fortunes shall be a party of the present, face squarely to the front and fear not to take up and consider any and all ot the complex ques tions which confront us from time to time. Therein lies the value of these conventions. Hers we can as representa tives of the various portions of our vast country pass a few days in calm and judicious consideration of the question which are near the hearts of th people. The discussion may be free and antram moled. Every Individual delegate has the orporturtty to e.'.praa his ortolan on the questions) before us. Thus these conventions become the clearinghouse ot the. party, open to representation ot new thoughts, and new Ideas, and to a broader consideration of the old ones. The conventions of the Republican league clubs have always received ithe hearty endorsement or tne party In the past, because they have avoided taking any position which would, in any way be an anticipation of the republican national ocroventlon. As this organisation 1b but an auxiliary to that coniVEn'Uon it can in no way bind the future action of the party. Ws are satisfied that the regular national convention of the party will have (he heart, brain and conscience to take up aM national questions and decide them wisely and justly. It is our work to elect not select candidates, and promote not promulgate platforms. - Party plat forms and party candidates must have the approval of the people, but to Insure victory in the next campaign we must prepare to meet organization With organisation. It ta through the ten : thousand clubs which form the Republican .National League than this: organization - can be carried on, The league has mo desire to control party machdnery, or attempt in any way to interfere with amy regular committee en trusted with campaign management. It seeks, however, through Its clubs to make more popular to all citizens the oppor tunity to participate In political affairs, and assume t'he responsibility, the labor and the glory of political service and success. It appeals to the Intelll gent patriotism of the American people, and through the edtaibllshment of a club in every town seeks to advance and pro mote republican principles in every com munity, and before every fireside In the kind. Every American citizen should have Gbrcing political convictions should attend all the caucuses ot fr s pau'ty, - and be In tho truest and best sense a politician, it ia only through the united and Intelligent, effort ot our best dtlsens that good government can be assured. We rejoice that the Republican National League forms a part of the membership of the republican party, and that through that member ship we have played a moat Important part In the history of the nineteenth cen tury, Prom Idhe day the republican party came forth a young David to do battle with the mighty OolOoth of slavery, It has been the right arm of the rcpulbilo. All legislation which has met the needs and demands of the people has been pro posed and enacted by ithe republican parity. During all these years the demo cratic party has stood opposed to every measure that savored of advancement, -During all thlese years their arsenal and arms have been a resistence and obstruc tion to reputUoan measures. They have always been. the party of opposition; they have stood to the way always; ttuy have never had amy pickets thrown, on the line of advanced thought. It was but natural that at last when caUed upon to assume the reins of government by one of those spasmodic errors of the people tney found themseuves entirely unfiled for the task before them. Although re plete Wvth political shrewdness. Demo cratic leaders have been lacking In states manship; they have been floundering in the quagmire of legislative stupidity tin . three iong years.. Every attempt at Statesmanship in internal ettaliS and l.p.umacy In foreign affairs has brought ruin on the one hand and hunr.ilaii.o.. on the other. Weary and bedraggled, fuUi.d a;uMy by the peopie in evry caunt ot incapacity, blundering ad lnflnl.um, tne Democratic leaders In sheer ctesperat.on nave tunned thiir faces In a new uVrea t.on. They have taken upon themselves the agination of the currency question in me hope that they may again too, tin paop.e and recover the positron tney so dos.-rvedly and completely lost. But they cannot escape their fate; no amount or si.ver agitation can turn the minds of the people from the fact that under thirty years of protection and rec.piocl.y this country developed as no other country nas in the tustory of nations, and In t.inee years of threatened free trade ta; itl legislation the Democratic party has brought disaster and ruin to thousands and thousands of American norms. They cannot blot out the figures of the treasury department, which show that under Pres ident Harr.son's atiintn stratkm itrwo hun dred and t'lilriiy-three million dollars were paid on Ithe publ.c dreba.and that the public debt under President Cleveland's admin istration has been increased over ont hundred and fifty million debars; or that under the McKlnley raw there was provided a revenue of five million dollars In excess ofthe requirements of the gov ernment, while under the Wilson law there will be a defidt of from sixty to one hunired millions of dollars. The only law passed by the Democratic congress has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court ot the United States. They will not be permitted to escape this responsibility. No amount of beating the torn toms or raising the dust over the currency question will blind the people to the foot that three precious years ot the commercial life ot the republic have been sacrificed by the democratic party on the altar of free trade. The question is not shall ws use more silver. There Is no opposition in this country to the enlarged use ot silver It It can be brought about without disturb. Ing our present trade relations with other countr.es, but the question Is shall the American markets be open to the world upon a cheaper basis than to the Amer loan citizens themeeOvea? Shall the work men and tradesmen of foreign countries enjoy the privileges of a market made valuable by the higher ideals and Intelli gence of the American people, when they In no way contribute to that condition, pay no share of the taxea and In no way assist In sustaining the American gov ernment. This country Is a vast empire with resources and facilities so boundless that tt can produce anything needed by man. It is yet in Its Infancy, It Is ten times more capable of develojnneni today than H was ten years ago. We have just begun to take tbe riches from the mines. Our farmers are Just learning the science of production at the lowest codt. As a nation we furnish the greatest market In the world. This is largely because of the higher wages and higher civilization ot our laboring classes. America with one- twentieth of the population of the world produces one-third of the manufactured articles, and the consumption of products by the American people is almost half the consumption of the entire world, is such a market for our own product worth keeping for ourselves? Is U surprising that England Is constantly working tor entrance into such a market? If the workmen of England and other countries had the same wants, the same pleasures in life, as our own workmen, there would be no need of protection to our Industries. The. American workman has made what was at first a luxury, today a necessity, and h baa been able to attain these lux uries through the republican principle of payins; American wages to American la bor.

For days pre vious to the great earthquake In the Ri viera the horses in thait locality showed every symptom of fear, which continued without change of character, unls it was in the direction of greater frenzy, till the fury of the great convulsion broke forth. - Not until a few seconds, however, before Ithe earth began to trem ble did human beings hear t'he subter ranean rumblings. One writer from the scene says Mint n his opinion the horses knew that the quake was on the way from seventy-two to one hundred hour before their martens heard or f it tbe first Jar.
