Guiding the direction of the preparation
of the convention hall, the printin Of
tickets OF admission, the appointment
of assistant sergeant-at-armS, door
keepers. etc, the taking of steno-

called to order i'll secret SEES
sion. REPRESENTATIVES of the national
league of Republican clubs. which held
meeting in this city this evening, were
present by invitation. The meeting was
devoted to an interchange of views on
the political situations i'll the various
states. the representative of each state
giving his ideas as to what could be
done and what was necessary to do it.
A Gin ar,f CT Aaa lava
Gov. Pinchback, one OF the colOred
members of the committee. He said
that the political oppression of the ne
grOes in the South was largely due to
bearing OF the white Republicans there,
who kept their party men of the African
race from taking an active part in poll
tics and from asserting their rights of
suffrage.
Mr.. Pinchback advocated a fostering
of q more independent spirit on the part
of the Southern negro voters, and he
claimed that the assertion of independ
ence in casting their ballots would give
Southern states to the Republicans.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed with regard to party organization in
Utah:
Resolved, That in the committee elected by
the convention of delegates at Salt Lake
City, Sept. >, 1891, we recognize the RepubIi-
can territorial central committee OF Ot0n.
Resolved, That we recommend to all the
men of Utah whose ideas of national gov
eminent and policy are i'll harmony with the
national Republican party that they now
bury their local differences and unite to
rescue their territory from The danger and
dishOnOr of future Democratic control.

will Oe called in two or three weeks by

satiOn, the committee withdrew and
