Among then: the most prominent, of course, were the Mozart Club's concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and they erojrret concerts from CTery artistic point of view. That of Thursday evening presented the fojlonine excellent orchestral procramme: Echumiuin bymphony Xo, 1, lnB-fl- ( Andanleun poco maestoso. llcgro motto vivace, l.nr.-liiu- Mli no.

Dellbej "Bon Jour suzaune" Earner Waldweben (ruin "Morfrleii" Vasner l'relude, Die ileUtermecr" To be sure the orchestral classics were con epicnonsly absent; but who will say that the more modern romantic have not won a posi- tion that entitles them to a whole programme once Ina while? Mr. Nikisch seemed to have an esuccUl njmpathy with each variety of romanticism above represented. The fresh, Joyou Sou of bohumann's "Spring" symphony, villi. Its strong nndercurrentot serious earnest- ness, wasitreated with affectionate solici- tude and the utmost attention to etery shade of meaning. The Russian's ljvtly and freely developed andantino was plaj ed w 1th great w armth and expressiveness, while the piquant scherzo, with its "obstinate" plncVing of the strings and bizarre Oriental color the Tartar under the Russian's skin from the Kast was a rare bit of virtu- osity both in conception and in exepntion. Saint-Saen- s' wierd and grotesque meas- ures lacked the swine and swirl belonging to it; the tempo was a trifle slow and the climax too long repressed. Most of the time it seemed like a graveyard elegy instead of a skeleton orgy. But the Wag-re- r "Waldneben" was absolutely delicious In Its breath of the woodland and wonderfully exciting in its swells of passionate longing. The "iieitersinger" prelude, aluo. exhaled a glowing passion in the lovers' motives and the strains of the burgber-guil- d were fiompous with immense effect. Mr. Nikiseh conducted from score, unlike last season; but no diminution of his care for every entrance or for any nuance, could be noticed. Mrs. Nikich just falls short of being an alto- gether admirable singer. Her voice is very sueetandpureat times; then again the tone seems to lose lis Quality. A trifle more of ar- tistic poise and repose wouldimprovelier style, though the expressiveness and feeling with which she invested her selections was all that could possiblj be asked. Mr. Niklsch played, her accompanitrcnts in absolutely delightful fashion especially in the charming.sonc by Goldmark, with us elaborate, rippling ligures. Friday oening's concert was reviewed by tho present writer yesteraaj morning. Little need be said no, except to repeat, for the benefit of regular readers, tbat the Mozart club's superb singing of Verdi's Requiem was the crowning achievement of us 13seaons. The exceptional smoothness and effectiveness ot the ensemble numbers. which abound iu such variety through the Requiem, calls for high praise. The audiences on each evening numbered 1,200 to 1,300 of the representative people; they were most appreci- ative both in their applause and, more signif- icant, in the close attention with which each programme was followed to the very end. The Lectures of Mr. Krehbiel. Although Mr. Krohbiel's lectures before Art fcocietj last Monday and Tuesday were private affairs, and not properly open to serious public rewew. and. although the present writer was not able to be present at the lecture in Old City Hall on Wednesday eiening, these important events cannot lie permitted to pass without focic notice. As his writings to clearly Mr. Krehbiel is the master of his subject-matte- r iu all its ribasf, considered historically, philosphicallj, t tlacally, technically or howsoever 3 ou please. His writings al p'oo bis exceptional com-inan- d of forL.ble anu elegant diction.

Tbc lecuics were instructive and inspiring in tin- - highest degre. Art bociety has added considi'iably to her laurels in introducing to tLis cummuititj such a man as H. li Krehbiel. . The Marine Band Concert. Of the Marine Band concerts at Old City Hall j esterd'.y afternoon and evening not muck need beanl.

Tho Allegheny Musical Association. An important concert, even in the present musical crush, will bo tbat which closes the season of the Allegheny Musical Association, to be given at Carnegie Hall next Tuesday evening. Under Mr. W. A.

New York, have arranged with Mr. Theodore Thomas and bis orchestra where- by his farewell to tbat city will be celebrated in a manner becoming so memorable an event, To this end contracts have been made for a short season of performances to take place in the Madison Square Amphitheater, beginning Monday, July 25, and ending Saturday. August IS. So the great farewell banquet to Mr. Thomas the other evening, presided over by Mr. George William Curtis, was not a farewell after all. In its review of the last Boston Symphony concert in Philadelphia, the AV(A American says ot one of our festival artists: "The vocal' ist of the evening was Mrs. Walter C, Wyman, a contralto, who captured the audience at once. She has a voice of great beauty and an unex- ceptionable method, and she slugs with the feeling and intelligence and refinement which bespeak the artist. Her air from Saint-Saen- 's Samson and Dcliila' was deeply impressive, and she gave three songs with pianoforte ac- companiments, exquisitely played bv Mr. kikisch. by Massenet, Delibes and Ferrari, with extraordinary charm. It will be a pleas ure to hear Mrs. Wyman again." Mb. CWiiitxet Coombs, who for several years officiated as organist and .cantor at the Anglo-America- n Church at Dresden, has just returned to this country on a business trip. Before leaving Dresden he gave a d farewell concert, of which the critics of the baxouian capital spoke in the highest terras of prai-- e. Ludwig Hartman being especially en- thusiastic about Mr. Coombs' compositions. Mr. Harry B. Brockett, who became an Ulti- mate friend t Mr. Coombs during his Dresden studies, expects the latter to make him an ex- - J tenuea viMt nere within a week or two. oome of Mr. Coombs' songs tbat have been sung bere by Mr. Brockett, are a quite sufficient introduc- tion for the gifted American composer. The May Festival sale is progressing finely, as it should. The Wagner night seems the most popular, but it is impossible to give any decisive answer to the query, "Which night will be the beat?" Each programme com- bines many elements of Interest, from what- ever standpoint viewed. Nothing but indi- vidual taste or fancy need guide anyone in his or ber choice out of such a variety. It la de- lightful to think tbat such musical privileges can be offered, not only to those who can af- ford high prices for boxes and parquet seats, but also to the great multitude who can only afford to pay 25 or 60 cents, but can for either sum gain the pleasures aud benefits of the May Festival. The complimentary concert tendered to that talented aud deserving young soprano, Miss Grace Miller, on the eve of her departure for study in Germany, promises to be of excep- tional Interest. It will occur at Old City Hall next Thursday evening. The Allegheny Musical Association, under Mr. W. A. Laf-lert- will lend choral dignity to tbecboioe programme, in which the following soloists will also appear: Miss Grace Miller and Miss Rosa Weber, sopranos; Miss Blanche Newcorab, violinist: Miss Mamie Biechele, "contralto; Mr. Harry Brockett, tenor; Mr. Charles Corcoran and Mr. E. H. Dermitt, basses, and Mr. Theo- dore Salmon, pianist, with Mr. John A. Bell, Mr. H. P. Ecker and Miss Stella Bauer as ac- companists. Though confidently expected, the formal election last Wednesday of Anton Seidl as the successor of Theodore Thomas in the conduct-orshi- n of the d New York Phil- harmonic Society is an event of real note. Tho Tribune speaks of the election thus: "The members of the society seem exceedingly pleased in securing Mr. Seidl, as indeed would be indicated bv the fact tbat the choice was unanimous. Mr, facial is also much gratified at the result. He said last night that he had long regarded the Philharmonic Orchestra as the finest in the world, without any exception, and he was extremely clad of tho opportunity now given him to lead it. He regarded It as a well-nig- h perfect organization. It has not yet been settled definitely whether the society will con tinue to use tho Metropolitan Opera House or go to the new Music Hall, but the former course is regarded as the more probable." Max "VooniCH's oratorio, "The Captivity," was performed upon a complete scale at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, last Tuesday evening. The event is of interest to all who care to see American composers well renresented, and especially to Pittsburgers, who will, in the May Festival, hear for the first' time Mr. Vogrich's cantata, "The Diver." After la ins stress upon the deficiency of the text (an early poem of Gold- smith's) in dramatio climaxes and ma- terial for contrapuntal treatment, Mr. W. J. Henderson, in the Times, proceeds thus: "The strong, earnest aim of the composer is always evinent; but the bull's eye of his target is so blurred and indistinct that he can- not hit it. "There are some interesting, even lovely, bits of writing, such as tbc setting for soprano of the immortal, verses before mentioned and the exquisitely colored Oriental canzonetta. On the whole, the attempt at Eastern tinting has led the composer into a style which closely re- sembles that employed by Verdi in big "Aida.' The music allotted to the Hebrews is dignided in movement, but is deficient in character and monotonous in harmonization. It is possible that the work will improve on iurthei hearing; it is certainly worth repeating." BIG BUSINESS ON SMALL CAPITAL, The Investigation of an Investment Dis closes Some Queer facts. Boston, May 2. Hon. E. SI. McPher-so- n, the Commissioner of Foreign Corpora- tions, has been looking up the record of the Eastern Investment Company, and as a re- sult of his investigations has ordered the concern immediately to cease doing business in Massachusetts. The xise and progress of the institution, as shown by official docu- ments, is full of interest- - The advertise- ments declare that it has been in business 14 years; vet it W3S only chartered in the State of Maine in 1890. The authorized capital is given as $2,000,000, of which is alleged to have been subscribed, and it is stated that the surplus is 5152,000. It is found that at the time of its incor- poration only a few hundred dollars was paid in as capital stock enough to secure a charter. When the Treasurer was asked for i statement of the company's property, certain lands in Florida, worth, as alleged, $850,000, and valuable Boston real estate were scheduled. The valuable Florida property, the investigation discloses, cost about 3,000, and the Boston property is mortgaged to almost, if not the entire, value. Several stockholders in the company have brought suit against the management to re- cover money paid in under alleged misrep- resentation, and to-d- an attachment was placed on the property of the company, and also on that of Treasurer Meyer, his wife, Estella M. Meyer, and Benjamin P. "Walker. BLACK AGAINST BED. Possibility of a Small Civil War In the Indian Territory. Vinita, I. T., May 2. The efforts that are being made to remove intruders from Cherokee soil are liable to result in bloodshed. Under orders from the Cherokee Government, Sheriffs Adair and Little pro- ceeded to sell the improvements belonging to Love Pendleton and one King, both col- ored, at Lenapah. A telegram from United States Commis- sioner Mason, who is in that vicinity, states tbat 200 negroes have appeared on the scene under arms and are drawn up in regular battle array. The situation is decidedly critical, and it is feared that the parties will come to a clash before the matter is ended, A PEBSECDT1.3 MESSIAH, Tho Apostle of Peace Among the Indians Driven From Place to Place Chamberlain, May 3.

AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS BI W. J. FOBD The Americus Club held its first meeting in its new clubhouse last night, and it proved a very interesting one. TV, J. Ford made an eloquent address, speaking of the origin of the Americus Club and its pa- triotic tendencies. Eeferring to the portraits of noted Republicans on the walls, Mr. Ford continued: "While we respect and honor the mem- ories of those who feared not to bare their breasts to the foe, there are others living who in the interest of the perpetuation of Republicanism, I cannot but accord their weed. One ot them is our -- Presideut, Harry S. Paul." Mr. Ford here paid a high compliment to Mr. Paul, and then his portrait was ex- hibited amid great cheering and ordered hung upon the walls. Mr. Edwards made a graceful response in behalf of Mr. Paul. Colonel Reed then presented (in behalf oi the First Vice President W. P. Bennett), five volumes of Bates' History. Mr. Paul presented five volumes ofZell's Encly co- ped La, and J. P. Andrews accepted the gilt on behalf of the club. B. Ii. "Woods presented "Twenty Tears in Congress" by J. G. Blaine, which was officially received by A. M. VoigL The iollowing resolutions were adopted withont comment: Whereas, The election of officers of the State Republican League of Pennsylvania will take place at the regular convention of State Republican League of Clubs at Scranton, September next, and the Americus Republican Club, fully recognizing the duty of again fill- ing the important position of president with one whose fealty to the League Clubs has been recognized during and since the organization of the National League in New York, the Americus Republican Club takes pleasure in presenting the name of a gentle- man, whose aid as Chairman of the Pennsyl vania delegation in that convention was earnestly given in support of and in form- ing the splendid organization known as the RepnbUcan;League of the United States. The suggestion of our fellow member for the honorable position of President of the State League of Republican Clubs comes fittingly from the Americus Club of Pittsburg. It was at the first annual dinner of the club in 1S87 tbat the scheme of the Legue clubs was Um brought forward by J. P. Foster of New York, (afterward President of the National League) in response to the toast, "Their Usefulness in Party Organization." The aotivityof the Americus Club in the call for the first convention, and the earnest- ness of our fellow member in the support of that convention makes it eminentlyproper that this club should present his name for President of the State Republican League, and ask the hearty support of all the League clubs in Penn sylvanla. Therefore, Resolved. That the Americus Republican Club of Pittsburg unanimously present the name of the Hon. John Dalzell for the position of President of the State League of RepuD-liea- n Clubs, knowing that bis abilities and brilliant leadership well fit him for the honor. Resolved, That a committee of IS members of this club be appointed by the President to further carry out the presentation of the name of our candidate to the Republican League Clubs of Pennsylvania.

Considerations of time and Epace precludemore than an outline review this morningof the important musical happenings of thepast week.

Among then: the most prominent, ofcourse, were the Mozart Club's concerts withthe Boston Symphony Orchestra and they

erojrret concerts from CTery artistic pointof view. That of Thursday evening presentedthe fojlonine excellent orchestral procramme:Echumiuin bymphony Xo, 1, lnB-fl-

To be sure the orchestral classics were conepicnonsly absent; but who will say that themore modern romantic have not won a posi-

tion that entitles them to a whole programmeonce Ina while? Mr. Nikisch seemed to havean esuccUl njmpathy with each variety ofromanticism above represented. The fresh,Joyou Sou of bohumann's "Spring" symphony,villi. Its strong nndercurrentot serious earnest-ness, wasitreated with affectionate solici-tude and the utmost attention toetery shade of meaning. The Russian'sljvtly and freely developed andantino wasplaj ed w 1th great w armth and expressiveness,while the piquant scherzo, with its "obstinate"plncVing of the strings and bizarre Orientalcolor the Tartar under the Russian's skin

from the Kast was a rare bit of virtu-osity both in conception and in exepntion.

Saint-Saen- s' wierd and grotesque meas-ures lacked the swine and swirl belongingto it; the tempo was a trifle slow and theclimax too long repressed. Most of the timeit seemed like a graveyard elegy insteadof a skeleton orgy. But the Wag-re- r

"Waldneben" was absolutely deliciousIn Its breath of the woodland and wonderfullyexciting in its swells of passionate longing.The "iieitersinger" prelude, aluo. exhaled aglowing passion in the lovers' motives and the

strains of the burgber-guil- d werefiompous with immense effect. Mr. Nikisehconducted from score, unlike last season; butno diminution of his care for every entrance orfor any nuance, could be noticed.

Mrs. Nikich just falls short of being an alto-gether admirable singer. Her voice is verysueetandpureat times; then again the toneseems to lose lis Quality. A trifle more of ar-tistic poise and repose wouldimprovelier style,though the expressiveness and feeling withwhich she invested her selections was all thatcould possiblj be asked. Mr. Niklsch played,her accompanitrcnts in absolutely delightfulfashion especially in the charming.sonc byGoldmark, with us elaborate, rippling ligures.

Friday oening's concert was reviewed by thopresent writer yesteraaj morning. Little needbe said no, except to repeat, for the benefit ofregular readers, tbat the Mozart club's superbsinging of Verdi's Requiem was the crowningachievement of us 13seaons. The exceptionalsmoothness and effectiveness ot theensemble numbers. which abound iusuch variety through the Requiem,calls for high praise. The audiences oneach evening numbered 1,200 to 1,300 of therepresentative people; they were most appreci-ative both in their applause and, more signif-icant, in the close attention with which eachprogramme was followed to the very end.

The Lectures of Mr. Krehbiel.Although Mr. Krohbiel's lectures before Art

fcocietj last Monday and Tuesday were privateaffairs, and not properly open to serious publicrewew. and. although the present writer wasnot able to be present at the lecture in Old CityHall on Wednesday eiening, these importantevents cannot lie permitted to pass withoutfocic notice.

Me. Ad. M. Foekstee's Quartette forpianoforte and strings and his "LoveSonE"figured prominently upon the Interesting pro-gramme ot the third concert of the AmericanOia.viscrs' Choral Association, conducted bvMr. Ajramonte at Chickerlng Hall, New Yorlast Thursday evening. ,

AugustIS. So the great farewell banquet to Mr.Thomas the other evening, presided over byMr. George William Curtis, was not a farewellafter all.

In its review of the last Boston Symphonyconcert in Philadelphia, the AV(A Americansays ot one of our festival artists: "The vocal'ist of the evening was Mrs. Walter C, Wyman,a contralto, who captured the audience at once.She has a voice of great beauty and an unex-ceptionable method, and she slugs with thefeeling and intelligence and refinement whichbespeak the artist. Her air from Saint-Saen- 's

Samson and Dcliila' was deeply impressive,and she gave three songs with pianoforte ac-

companiments, exquisitely played bv Mr.kikisch. by Massenet, Delibes and Ferrari,with extraordinary charm. It will be a pleasure to hear Mrs. Wyman again."

Mb. CWiiitxet Coombs, who for severalyears officiated as organist and .cantor at theAnglo-America- n Church at Dresden, has justreturned to this country on a business trip.Before leaving Dresden he gave a d

farewell concert, of which the critics of thebaxouian capital spoke in the highest terras ofprai-- e. Ludwig Hartman being especially en-

thusiastic about Mr. Coombs' compositions.Mr. Harry B. Brockett, who became an Ulti-

mate friend t Mr. Coombs during his Dresdenstudies, expects the latter to make him an ex- - Jtenuea viMt nere within a week or two. oomeof Mr. Coombs' songs tbat have been sung bereby Mr. Brockett, are a quite sufficient introduc-tion for the gifted American composer.

The May Festival sale is progressing finely,as it should. The Wagner night seems themost popular, but it is impossible to give anydecisive answer to the query, "Whichnight will be the beat?" Each programme com-bines many elements of Interest, from what-ever standpoint viewed. Nothing but indi-vidual taste or fancy need guide anyone in hisor ber choice out of such a variety. It la de-lightful to think tbat such musical privilegescan be offered, not only to those who can af-ford high prices for boxes and parquet seats,but also to the great multitude who can onlyafford to pay 25 or 60 cents, but can for eithersum gain the pleasures aud benefits of theMay Festival.

The complimentary concert tendered to thattalented aud deserving young soprano, MissGrace Miller, on the eve of her departure forstudy in Germany, promises to be of excep-tional Interest. It will occur at Old City Hallnext Thursday evening. The AlleghenyMusical Association, under Mr. W. A. Laf-lert-

will lend choral dignity to tbecboioeprogramme, in which the following soloistswill also appear: Miss Grace Miller and MissRosa Weber, sopranos; Miss Blanche Newcorab,violinist: Miss Mamie Biechele, "contralto; Mr.Harry Brockett, tenor; Mr. Charles Corcoranand Mr. E. H. Dermitt, basses, and Mr. Theo-dore Salmon, pianist, with Mr. John A. Bell,Mr. H. P. Ecker and Miss Stella Bauer as ac-companists.

Though confidently expected, the formalelection last Wednesday of Anton Seidl as thesuccessor of Theodore Thomas in the conduct-orshi- n

of the d New York Phil-harmonic Society is an event of real note. ThoTribune speaks of the election thus: "Themembers of the society seem exceedinglypleased in securing Mr. Seidl, as indeed wouldbe indicated bv the fact tbat the choice wasunanimous. Mr, facial is also much gratified atthe result. He said last night that he had longregarded the Philharmonic Orchestra as thefinest in the world, without any exception, andhe was extremely clad of tho opportunity nowgiven him to lead it. He regarded It as a well-nig- h

perfect organization. It has not yet beensettled definitely whether the society will continue to use tho Metropolitan Opera House orgo to the new Music Hall, but the formercourse is regarded as the more probable."

Max "VooniCH's oratorio, "The Captivity,"was performed upon a complete scale at theMetropolitan Opera House, New York, lastTuesday evening. The event is of interest toall who care to see American composers wellrenresented, and especially to Pittsburgers,who will, in the May Festival, hear for the first'time Mr. Vogrich's cantata, "The Diver."After la ins stress upon the deficiency ofthe text (an early poem of Gold-smith's) in dramatio climaxes and ma-terial for contrapuntal treatment, Mr.W. J. Henderson, in the Times, proceedsthus: "The strong, earnest aim of the composeris always evinent; but the bull's eye of histarget is so blurred and indistinct that he can-not hit it.

"There are some interesting, even lovely, bitsof writing, such as tbc setting for soprano ofthe immortal, verses before mentioned and theexquisitely colored Oriental canzonetta. Onthe whole, the attempt at Eastern tinting hasled the composer into a style which closely re-sembles that employed by Verdi in big "Aida.'The music allotted to the Hebrews is dignidedin movement, but is deficient in character andmonotonous in harmonization. It is possiblethat the work will improve on iurthei hearing;it is certainly worth repeating."

BIG BUSINESS ON SMALL CAPITAL,

The Investigation of an Investment Discloses Some Queer facts.

Boston, May 2. Hon. E. SI. McPher-so- n,

the Commissioner of Foreign Corpora-tions, has been looking up the record of theEastern Investment Company, and as a re-

sult of his investigations has ordered theconcern immediately to cease doing businessin Massachusetts. The xise and progress ofthe institution, as shown by official docu-ments, is full of interest- - The advertise-ments declare that it has been in business14 years; vet it W3S only chartered in theState of Maine in 1890. The authorizedcapital is given as $2,000,000, of which

is alleged to have been subscribed,and it is stated that the surplus is 5152,000.

It is found that at the time of its incor-poration only a few hundred dollars waspaid in as capital stock enough to secure acharter. When the Treasurer was asked fori statement of the company's property,certain lands in Florida, worth, as alleged,$850,000, and valuable Boston real estatewere scheduled. The valuable Floridaproperty, the investigation discloses, costabout 3,000, and the Boston property ismortgaged to almost, ifnot the entire, value.Several stockholders in the company havebrought suit against the management to re-cover money paid in under alleged misrep-resentation, and to-d- an attachment wasplaced on the property of the company, andalso on that of Treasurer Meyer, his wife,Estella M. Meyer, and Benjamin P. "Walker.

The Americus Club Presents Bis

Name for President of'the

STATE REPUBLICAN CLUB LEAGUE.

The First Meeting of the Organization In

Its New Quarters.

AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS BI W. J. FOBD

The Americus Club held its first meetingin its new clubhouse last night, and itproved a very interesting one. TV, J. Fordmade an eloquent address, speaking of theorigin of the Americus Club and its pa-

triotic tendencies. Eeferring to the portraitsof noted Republicans on the walls, Mr.Ford continued:

"While we respect and honor the mem-

ories of those who feared not to bare theirbreasts to the foe, there are others livingwho in the interest of the perpetuation ofRepublicanism, I cannot but accord theirweed. One ot them is our --Presideut,Harry S. Paul."

Mr. Ford here paid a high compliment toMr. Paul, and then his portrait was ex-

hibited amid great cheering and orderedhung upon the walls. Mr. Edwards madea graceful response in behalf of Mr. Paul.

Colonel Reed then presented (in behalf oithe First Vice President W. P. Bennett),five volumes of Bates' History. Mr. Paulpresented five volumes ofZell's Enclyco-

ped La, and J. P. Andrews accepted the gilton behalf of the club.

B. Ii. "Woods presented "Twenty Tears inCongress" by J. G. Blaine, which wasofficially received by A. M. VoigL

The iollowing resolutions were adoptedwithont comment:

Whereas, The election of officers of theState Republican League of Pennsylvaniawill take place at the regular convention ofState Republican League of Clubs at Scranton,September next, and the Americus RepublicanClub, fully recognizing the duty of again fill-

ing the important position of president withone whose fealty to the League Clubs hasbeen recognized during and since theorganization of the National League in NewYork, the Americus Republican Club takespleasure in presenting the name of a gentle-man, whose aid as Chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation in that convention wasearnestly given in support of and in form-ing the splendid organization known asthe RepnbUcan;League of the United States.The suggestion of our fellow member for thehonorable position of President of the StateLeague of Republican Clubs comes fittinglyfrom the Americus Club of Pittsburg. It wasat the first annual dinner of the club in 1S87

tbat the scheme of the Legue clubs was Umbrought forward by J. P. Foster of New York,(afterward President of the National League)in response to the toast, "Their Usefulness inParty Organization."

The aotivityof the Americus Club in thecall for the first convention, and the earnest-ness of our fellow member in the support ofthat convention makes it eminentlyproper thatthis club should present his name for Presidentof the State Republican League, and ask thehearty support of all the League clubs in Pennsylvanla. Therefore,

Resolved. That the Americus RepublicanClub of Pittsburg unanimously present thename of the Hon. John Dalzell for the positionof President of the State League of RepuD-liea- n

Clubs, knowing that bis abilities andbrilliant leadership well fit him for the honor.

Resolved, That a committee of IS membersof this club be appointed by the President tofurther carry out the presentation of the nameof our candidate to the Republican LeagueClubs of Pennsylvania.
