THE REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE.
The Call for the Second Annual Convention
I'm Baltimore.

I'm Baltimore.
The official call for the second annual
convention of tho Republican National
League has been issued by the Executive
Committee OF tho organization. After
announcing that the meeting is 10 be held
in Baltimore, Thursday. February 90,
the call, which il signed by the Presi-
dent of the Leas James p. Foster, con-
tinues
1.-The business which properly viii come
before the convention will be the reports
from the officers of the League, the cleo
ton of officers and members of the Exec
ut,ve Committee for the ensuing year, tho
fixing of the place of meeting of the next
National Convention of the League and
such other business as may at the coayen-
ton be brought forward by the delegates
assembled.
Let not the victory just achieved suf-
flee for the present nor let 1t lull us into
indulgence or neglect of duty. The league
must be maintained in all it's power and
usefulness, and be extended into the only
remaining Southern States where it has
not been established. Without ostenta-
ton or an undue claim 10 importance, the
league in all it's branches has faithfully
and assiduously worked for Republican
success, the end for which it was organ
lied. 1t has accomplished the work. but
now the still greater work of preserving
tho supremacy Of the Republican party,
OF retaining the control of Congress and
of creating an absolutely fair and honest
vote ut the polls in every section of the
Union presents itself ard demands an
earnest response from league members in
every section of the Republic. TO accom-
plish these grand results the organization
of local clubs and State leagues must go
on, and the detail of systematic work
must be pursued with vigor and energy.
Already Democracy las issued its urgent
call for league organization. and adj
mitted that the Democratic League
was formed too late for effective
service in 1888, and it also announces
the undeniable truth that the next con-
test begins in 1890, when members of Con-
gress are again to be elected. Shall we
as Republicans be found indolent when In
rower2 Shall we cease to cherish the re-
suits of our efforts for the maintenance of
Republican principles? The League is the
people, and through them and from them
let the answer come. Let the delegates at
Baltimore respond 10 this call in tones
which will inspire still greater effort and
more thorough organization, so that not
only shall Indiana and New York remain
where they have been placed, in the ranks
OF the hepuDllchn party, DuI HiSo No"
Jersey and Connecticut be brought home,
and the Territories seeking admission be
let in and the Republican Southern States
be released from the bondage of unfair
elections. Your presence and voice and
action are needed TO accomplish such re-
suits.
The Maryland State League invited
the convention 10 assemble in Baltimore,
and the invitation has been accepted. A
local committee has been appointed to
take charge of the details, and il IS hoped
that large demons tration will be made
at Baltimore. and from there we may pro-
ceed to Washington to join in the inaugu-
ration Ger MONIES on Monday, March 4,
1889. If league clubs of sufficient II I'M
bers are represented at Baltimore, grand
lie lgue parade will be had before they go
TO Washington.
