to fight in the ranks, each man 10 the
best of his ability, for the common
cause and the good of tho country.
Preferences are proper, and just now
erence there needs to be q deter,nina-
ton to do all that can be done for Rec
publican principles, whether this or that
man bears the flag, or leads the column,
OF commands the army.
The Republican voters, each in his
own ward or town OF county or state.
can set this matter right. 1t is their
part to make every would-be leader
understand that he has no place in the
column, and will have no place III the
victory unless he is prepared unrescrv-
eddy and heartily to do his best for
Republican principles, whether he
marches as general OF as private. Thisis
a good time, too, to make party leaders
realize that there must be this year u
painstaking, straightforward and manly
appeal to the intelligence and the con-
victions of voters, aud therefore u vast
deal of work must be done in spreading

will be won, not by any trick, nor by
nor by any kind of manipulation, but by
fair and square appeal TO the common
sense and the patriotic feelings of
American citizens.
Victory is within reach, if a united
Republican party makes the right kind
of effort for it. But one needs to look
at the Democratic ranks, their disor-
ganization and disregard of principles
and the readiness of Democratic fac
tions to sacrifice ideas and measures for
the sake of personal ends, to perceive
just how Republicans also have it in
their power to throw away success, if

Tho Republican League Convention.
US. Garrison, of the Republican Ma
tional League, said that the Re-
publican National League convention
would probably be held at Buffalo. N.
Y, the last week in June, bringing it in
session at the same time as the Demo-
cratic national convention at Chicago.
He said the convention would have
been held in March or April, as hereto
fore, except that the last national con-
vention peremptorily directed that it
should not be called earlier than two
weeks after the holding of the Repub-
lican convention. Therefore the league
battle ground OF 1892, the last of June,
to hold a ratification meeting and to
make their programme of action for the
campaign. Mr.. Garrison added:
The number OF league clubs has in
creased nearly 1000 in the last year and
nearly 4OO, 900 in membership. There are
now about 1900 clubs with a membership
OF l,75O.O0O; 9 compact. organized, active
force ready for the campaign, made up
largely of the young blood of the party.
These clubs have done educational and re-
cruiting work all winter and now are
ready to turn INTO marching clubs for the
campaign. 1t is q powerful political force
made up Of men of the highest character.
bringing the scholar, the young business
man, and the bTlghtest-mindcd young men
into active politics.
The attendance at Buffalo will be the
largest in the history of the league. The
Republicans of Buffalo and New York
will give the visitors generous and unusual
welcome. Many marching clubs will at
tend in uniform. including clubs from col
leges and high schools, several hundred OF
which have been organized within the last
six. months. embracing. among others, a
club of 1900 in Harvard College, and one
of 600 in the University of Michigan.
For a while it was intended to hold the
national convention III New York City i'll
September, and therefore many clubs pro-
posed attending the Republican national
convention i'll Minneapolis. Now most of
the clubs will so to to Buffalo and help to
give an carly energy and increased and in
fictitious power of enthusiasm to the Re
publican %ccmpaign.
We confidently expect to have Blaine,
Fred. Douglass. Mckinley, Reed, Fassett,
Burrows, DolIiver, Thurston and other
speakers at Buffalo, as well as many of the
young orators OF the league itself. BY
that time. too. W. intend to have 1000 or
5000 clubs and 2.OOO.O 900 members.
