territorial republican league, so
soon AS sufficient number have
been enrolled. This organization
of republicans will be 3 permanent
one under the hatlonal league con-
stitutlon, for the purpose OF incul-
eating true republican principles.
These leagues are confined solely
and strictly to this work and can
not use their influence as bodies
for the enhanceAent of any man's
aspirations for office, or interfere in
the least in the privileges and du-
ties OF caucuSes or regular conven-
tionS Of the party. Such an organ
ization in Nav Mexico can but do
incaleulasle good in educating the
masses mp to a better knowledge
and a higher regard Of the princi
pes Of the party IN power. Active,
earnest republicans in every locali-
ty sheuld unite ard organize. In
unity there is strength. Organiz-
ed, intelligent, hand in hand work
is powerful lever to hasten and
develop a strong, healthy public
sentiment in any direction, polite
. al or otherwise Let this republi-
I ca" league be organized now, and
its influence will be powerfully telt
at coming elections. Optic.
