THE FIGHT MUST GO ON
National Republican League TO Meet
in Louisville, April 10th.

In his call for the Meeting of the
National Republican League, to be
held in Louisville, KY, April 10th,
Chairman J. S. Clarkson says:
In this new day of complete demo-
cratic ascendency in the Nation and
the restoration of sectional RULE in
the government, with the com nit
tees of the United States senate
being organized in the interest of a
section composing one-tourth of the
States Of the Union, in which States
republican voters are boldly and
successfully disfranchised because
they are republicans, and when the
cabinet of the new president is made
up mainly in the interest of the
great corporations of the land, there
| is but added reason for increasing
ardor and activity upon every true
friend Of human rights, free labor
and self,respecting Americanism.
The struggle did not end in 1892.
As Abraham Lincoln, in the hour
of a previous republican defeat SO
faithfully said, all republicans may
say with fidelity now: THE fight
must go OH. The cause of human
liberty must not be surrendered at
the end of one or even one hundred
defeats"
1t must go on until the weak and
helpless of all classes and conditions
are protected under the laws and
until the day shall come demanded
by General Grant, when the rights
of a republican shall be as fully
admitted and as fully protected at
every voting place in the land as the
rights of a democrat. To this
end the National committee of the
National republican league cor
daily invites all citizens who believe
in honest elections and the right of
every American voter to cast one
vote and have it fairly counted;
who believe in the dignity of free
labor and a faithful maintenance of
the difference between American
and European wages; who believe
in the old American policy of pro-
lection to American industry and to
American workmen, reciprocity;who
believe in the fullest protection OF
all classes of invested interest, and
yet who are opposed to corporation
rule in the government of either
Nation or State; who believe i'll
sound money and honest gold and
silver as money, as pledged in the
republican National platform at
Minneapolis; who believe in such
improvements and extensions i'll the
bank system of the country as will |
bring banking facilities nearer to
the people of the smaller towns and |
communities who believe in praC-
tical civil service reform, such as
will separate the spoils idea from
politics and yet preserve the people
in control of public offices and |
public affairs; and who believe in |
liberal policies and yet IN the asser
ton of American ideas in all Anne
rican afairs-all such people and |
all who are i'll sympathy with |
other policies and aspirations of the
republican party of the future are
cordially invited to unite at once in
the membership with the league
clubs of their own neighborhood
and participate in the election of
delegates to the National convention
at Louisville.
The republican party being non
sectional, and instinCtively Amerl-
can in all the better meanings OF the
terms, chooses to open the new
contest with this convention held
on Southern ground, especially in
viting a liberal attendance from all
the Southern States, and hoping to
make historical this republican
meeting in a State which is sacred
with traditions of Henry Clay, Abe
Lincoln and James G. Blaine.
By order of the league.
J. S. GARRISON, President.
