In the movement OF the Republican column,
preliminary To Republican victory In 1896. &c il
the fortune, as 10 is the duty, OF tue League TO
move first. Its national convention of 1887 led
the way, and made certain the party victory in
1855. Its two millions OF members accept the
party defeat of 1892 ONLY as larger call upon
them for removed devotion and effort In the con-
gressfOnal elections OF 1894, the presidential
and congressional elections IN 1896. and In all

Nation and the restoration of sectional
committees of the United states senate being re-.
organized In the interest of q section composing
one-fourth OF the States OF the Union. In which
fully DISTINGUISHED because they are Republic
ans, and when the Cabinet OF the new President,
with nearly half OF it's members from the same
restricted section. Is made up mainly In the III
teresfs OF the great corporations OF the land,
there Is but added reason for increased ardor
and activity on the part OF every true friend OF
Americanism. The struggle did not end In 1892
As Abraham Lincoln, in the hour of a previous
Republican defeat, so faithfully said, In 1885, oil
Republicans may say with fidelity now.
The fight must 20 on. The cause of OWL lib
erty must not be surrendered at the END Of one
or even one hundred defeats"
1t must 20 on until the weak and helpless of
all classes and conditions are protected under
the laws. and until the day shall come. de-
manded By General Grant. when the rights OF
Republican shall be as fully admitted and as
fully protected at every voting place In the land
as the rights of Democrat"
To this end the national committee of the
National Republican League cordially invites all
citizens who believe in honest elections. and the
right of every American voter TO cast one vote
and have IL fairly counted;

the faithful maintenance OF the difference be-
tween American and European wages;
Who believe in the established American
policy of protection TO American industry and to
American workingmen. and in the new
American policy of reciprocity;
Who believe in the fullest protection OF all
property and all forms of invested interests and
yet who are opposed to corporation rule in the
government of either Nation or State;
Who remember now the Union soldier in his
need. as well as in the day Of his sacrifice and
service;
Who believe in sound money and honest gold
and silver and paper currency. money
