"THE LEEDS CONSERVATIVE CLUB."

formation of a permanent club, the plan of which the follow-
ing prospectus will explain:—
It appearing to several individuals, interested in the suc-
cess of the conies votive cause, that a club instituted in Leeds
for the association of gentlemen of conservative principles,
and for promoting and continuing a mutual interest andlel-
lowship is desirable, and would tend greatly to support the
cause, they have resolved to endeavour to establish such a.
club, and trust the conservatives of Leeds will see the ad-
vantage of such an institution, ant. at once come forward and
lend it their support and influence.
The Leeds conservatives having thus daily opportunities
of meeting together, will be enabled to discuss matters in-
teresting to the cause, and to act with promptitude upon in-
formation obtained.
