Minnesota Republicans Meet at
Minneapolis and Take Steps TO
Organize for the Battle.

/
There was moderate gathering OF Min Min
nesota Republicans at Minneapolis on the
18th. The object OF the meeting was to
take steps for the organization OF Republic
can clubs throughout the state prior to
the meeting of a state league in the near
future. The meeting was held under the
auspices OF the Union league and is a re-
suit OF the impetus given to the cause by
the late convention OF Republican clubs in
New York city. Some fifty persons were
present outside OF Minneapolis. The
meeting was called to order by T. q. Byr-
mes, who explained moref fully the object
OF the gathering.
Hon. A. Barto WAS unanim ously
elected chairman, and on taking his seat
said that he loved the Republican party
for what it had done, and because it is the
friend OF progress everywhere and Of hui
man rights ever. S. l.. Trussel of Mime
apolis was made secretary andC. Preston
assistant secretary.
Brief speeches were made by Eugene Hey,
Capt. Castle, w. ". Hartley and others.
A committee on organization was ap-
pointed, which subsequently, reported.
REPORT.
Chairman Byrnes stated that it had
been deemed best TO appoint one man
from each county to take charge of the
organization OF leagues in that county.
These men were to go ahead at once and
organize as many Clubs as it was thought
expedlent in their territory. Aconstitution
for these local leagues had been prepared,
which was quite simple and general
enough as he thought, to meet the
wishes of all. They could put all the
details in the bylaws themselves. The OBJ
ject of the leagues, it is stated in this con-
stitution, is to promote the strength OF
the Republican party and assist it's eau
didates. 1t is not the policy OF the
date before his regular nomination
in the convention. Any man over
eighteen years OF age who has
at heart the success OF the Repub.
lican party and who will work for the can.
didates which it dominates is eligible to
membership in the league. The local
leaguers are to be subordinate to thestate
league. Provision is made for the usual
officers and an executive committee. The
committee also recommended that call
be sent out to all leagues in the state to
send delegates to the state league, to meet
in Minneapolis Feb. 2. The report was
adopted. The following is a list OF organ
