following request.
To the Republican Clubs Of Vermont:

President of the Republican National
League, copy of which is attached, the
Republican Clubs of Vermont are
earnestly requested to meet at their
several headquarters on Tuesday eve
ming, August 10th, at 1880 o'clock, for
the purpose, so far as may be practicable,
of organizing marching clubs for service
in the present campaign.
1t is suggested that where the member
ship of clubs renders a compliance with
the request of the National organization
impracticable, the meeting be utilized in
making necessary arrangements for at
tendance on the grand rally at Burling-
ton, August 30th, and for increasing the
membership and perfecting measures to
insure the attendance of Republicans at
the polls on the day of election.
1t is of especial Importance that mem
bers of the several clubs and Republicans
generally should understand the pro-
visions of the ballot law under which the
election is to be held, and to this end
officers of the several clubs should
familiarize themselves with its details,
and some part of the evening can be
wisely employed in explanation of them.
1t is earnestly urged upon the Repub-
lican voters, in towns where there are
no club organizations, to call meetings
on that evening for the purpose of form
ing clubs and thus rendering effectiYe
aid in the dissemination of Republican
truths and assuring substantial victory
for the Republican candidates.
Information in regard to the formation
of clubs may be obtained from the Sec
rotary of the State League, or from
members of the Executive Committee in
the several counties.
