New YoRH, March lt--President
Clarkson issued the call to-day for the
annual convention Of the Republican
National National League at Louisville
on Wednesday, May 10. The call in
part says: In tho movement OF tho
Republican column preliminary to Re-
publican victory in 1895, it is the Tor
tune and 1t is the duty Of the league to
move first. Its national convention Of
1887 led the way and made certain party
victory in 1883. Its two million OF
voters accept tho party defeat of 1892 as
a larger call upon them for renewed de-
yotion and effort in tho congressional
elections OF 1894, the presidential elec.
ton in 1895, and in all state and local
party contests Of the time intervening.
1t Is ready in its vast membership, with
ona OF its own cluhs at work in almost
every neighborhood in the United
States every day in the year, in all tho
natural effects OF party methods through
popular effort aud popular education,
to bear the burden OF daily party work
in the four years to come.
The struggle did not end in 1892. AS
Abraham Lincoln in the hour Of pre-
vious Republican defeat SO faithfully
said, all Republicans may say with tdel'
ity now: "The fight must go on. The
cause OF human liberty must not be sur
rendered at the end OF ono or even one
hundred defeats"
It must go onuntl the weakand help.
less OF all classes and conditions are pro-
tected under the laws and until that
day shall como, demanded by General
Grant, when the rights OF q Republican
shall bo as fully admitted and as fully
protected at every voting place in the
land as the rights of Democrat. To
this end then national COM
mittee Of the National Republic
can League cordially invites all
citizens who believe in honest elections
and the right OF every American voter
to cast ono vote and have it fairly
counted; who believe in the dignity OF
FREQ labor and faithful maintenance Of
the difference between American and
European wages; who believe in the old
American policy OF protection to
American industry and to American
workmen, and in the new American
policy Of reciprocity; who believe in
the fullest protection Of all classes Of
invested interest, and yet who are op.
posed to corporation rule In the govern
ment of either nation or state /;
who believe in sound money and
honest gold and silver as money,
as pledged in the national Re-
publican platform ut Minneapolis; who
believe in such improvement and extern
sions Of the banking systems Of the
country as will bring banking facilities
nearer to the people Of the smaller
towns and communities; who believe in
practical civil service reform, such as
will separate the spoils idea from poll
tics and yet preserve the people IN con-
troll Of public Offices aud all public
affairs, and who believe in liberal poll
cies, and yet in the assertion OF Amerl-
can ideas in all American afTairs--all
such people, and all who are in sympa-
thy with the other policies and aspira-
tions Of the Republican party of the
future, arc cordially invited to unite at
once in tho membership with the league
clubs OF their own neighborhoods and
participate in the election Of delegates
