The Republican League Convention.

J. S. Clarkson, 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-
should not be called earlier than two
weeks after the holding of the Repub-
lican convention. Therefore the league.
clubs will meet in the Empire State, the
battle ground of 1892, the last of June,
to hold ratification meeting and to-
make their programme Of action Tor the
campaign. Mr.. Clarkson added:
The number OF league clubs has in
creased nearly 1000 in the last year and
nearly 100000 in membership. There are
now about IA 900 clubs with membership.
of l, 100000; 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 powerful political force
made up Of men Of the highest character,
bringing the scholar, the young business
man, and the brIghtest-minded 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,
club of 1000 in Harvard College, and one

For q while it was intended to hold the
national convention IN New York City IN
September, and therefore many clubs pro-
posed attending the Republican national
convention in Minneapolis. Now most OF
the clubs will go to to Buffalo and help to
give an early energy and increased and IN
fictitious power of enthusiasm to the Re-
publican cOmpaign.
We confidently expect TO have Blaine,
Fred. Douglass Mckinley, Reed, Fassett,
Burrows, Dolliver, Thurston and other
speakers at Buffalo, as well as many OF the
young orators OF the league itself. By
that time, too, we intend to have 1900 or
$1,000 clubs and 100000 members

These April awards are pleasant and
proper, but the electoral stakes will go
to the Republican winner in the
November race, all the same.
William G. Lowering illustrated very
forcibly the debtor and creditor view of
the free silver coinage question, in his
speech to the Republican State Conven-
ton, held in Boston. He said:
Il employ 1900 workmen. They are
my creditors. l am always in debt to
them; they never owe me a dollar.
Wherever person works for wages, on
the farm, on the railroad in the mill or
in the mine, there is a creditor who will
| be asked, nav, compelled, to take SO
cents on the dollar for his wages. He
will 90 to the savings bank, where he
has deposited in this commonwealth
alone $325, 000,0 900 in gold or its equiva-
lent, and will receive 81 cents less on
the dollar than he deposited" 1ntelli-
acknowledgment of Massachusetts don't
believe that legislation ever put any
money into their pockets, and they
don't want legislation to take IL out Of
their pockets.

ocratic party: ''Its voting population

in politics. All the wide OPEN elements

every other city IL the Union ruled by

gestion to q. Cleveland, who has not
vet found language in which to describe
his sensations in his Rhode Island ex-
perience.
