voters of Vermont has just been issued
1.-The executive committee Of the Republ-
can State league hereby call convention
of League clubs and Harrison and Morton
clubs to meet at Montpelier on Thursday
afternoon, June 10, 1890; the delegates to
assemble in the Opera house Immediately
after the adjournment of the State conven-
ton.
The business of the league meeting will
be to revive the local organizations for eff
fective work in the campaign of 1890 there
by strengthening the party for the presiden-
tial contest in 1892, to elect officers for the
coming biennial term, and finally, to
formally ratify the nominations made by
the State convention.
Under the constitution of the league each
of the $50 republican clubs organized in
1888 will be entitled to three delegates.
The committee recommend that delegates
| to the league meeting be chosen Immediate
y following the adjournment of the town
| caucuses called for tho election of dele
gates to the State convention; such local
club meetings to be presided over by the
president, vice-president or other officer
who may be present.
In the event of the failure on the part of
any club to elect delegates at that time, it
is recommended that the proper representa-
ton be secured by caucuses of members of
republican clubs in attendance at the State
convention, who are hereby authorized to
select the delegate to which they are en-
titled.
The members of the republican league of
Vermont will recall with satisfaction the
effective work done by the club organiza-
tions in the presidential campaign Of 1883.

the last campaign for Dillingham;, Harrison

her sister States and continue her political
utilization with the national league, and as

State to sound the signal gun for 1892 by
an old fashioned victory at the September
