and he, with two three others, wanted Information
as 10 whether all the clubs organized since thAt uine
were going TO form league OF their own or would
combine with the earlier formation.

objected to that feature OF the constitution already
adopted which pledged the individual clubs 20 adopt
no constitution which might not harmonic with tho
constitution Of tho state League Of Republican Clubs

greater good In acting with strict Independence than
II hampered BY any rules formulated by State body

when Mr.. Par1got deprecated any idea of desire 20
stand in the way Of harmonious action. and said he

Ing the constitution
