Hot SPRINGS, Ark, April 12.-J. S. Clark
son, president of the Republican National
League, said that the league convention
would probably be held ut Buffalo the last
week in June, bringing it in session ut the
same time as the democratic convention. he
SAID it would have been IN March or April
except that the last national convention per-
emptorily directed it should not be called
earlier than two weeks after the republican
national convention. Therefore the league
will meet in Buffalo in the Empire state, the
battle ground of 1892, the last of June to
hold a ratification meeting aud to arrange
the program for the campaign.

league clubs has increased nearly 1000 in the

There are now about li,0OO clubs with
membership of l,000,000, a compact, organ
lied and active force, ready for tho cam
paign made up largely of the young blood of
the party. The attendance at Buffalo will
be tho largest in the history of the league.

including clubs from colleges and high
schools, several hundred OF which have been
organized in the last six months embracing
among others club of 1900 in Harvard col
