ACTIVE REPUBLICANS.
How the New League is Proposed
to be Formed.
The Committee Agrees Upon Consti'
tuition and By-Laws-What the
Next Contest VIII Be.

The committee which was recently ap-
pointed at a general meeting of Republic
ans, for the purpose of arranging for the
organization of permanent Republican
league or club in this city, held meeting
last evening at the Courthouse and pre-
pared a report. A general meeting will
be called shortly, when the report will be
submitted for the consideration of those
who are in favor of organizing the league.
The report is as follows:
The next National contest will be the
most determined known to American
politics. Organization is the only safe
rule of success, and it is essential TOR the
Republican party to present an organized
front to a bold and determined political
enemy. 1t is evident that there will be
perfect organization of the Southern ele
ment of the Democratic party, unaffected
by alliance" or Peoples party"
1t is self-evident that the side-issues
evolved are the mere inventions OF the
enemy, and calculated solely to weaken
the Republican strength in the Western
and Northwestern States. where there is
a decided Republican majority in the alb
sence of these side-shows.
Actuated, therefore, by the impulses of
patriotism and the interest of the Ma
we organize in the city of Sacramento
under the name of 1.-THE Capital Repub-
Hcan Union League"
