to Assemble at Louis
vile, May |,
1t is Hoped to Turn the SOuth's
Head by Camping Within
Her Borders.

New York, March IA call for
an annual convention of the Republican
National League to meet at Louisville
Kentucky, Wednesday, May LIST, was
issued today. The ratio Of representa-
zion will be six delegates at large
from each STATE ANA territory, and four
from each congressional district and
one from each college republican club
in the United States \ national con
vcntion Of The American Republican
College league viii be held in the same
place on May II.
The call says that the members Of
The league accept the party defeat Of
81 as a larger call upon them for re-
ucwed devotion and effort in the con
gressOnal elections in 1896, and in the
state and local party contests Of the
time Intervening
In tbs new day Of complete demo
craft asccndancy in the nation and
the restoration of sectional rule in the
government, with the committees Of
the United States senate being organ
lied in the interest Of the section COM
posing one-fourth of the states, in which
states republican voters are badly and
successfully DISTINGUISHED because they
are republicans, and when the cabinet
af the new president is made up mainly
in the interests of great corporations
Of the land, there is but added reason
for increasing the ardor and activity
on the part of every true friend of
human rights, free labor, and self-res-
pcctng Americans.
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 tidel-
ity now: The cause of human liberty
must not be surrendered at the end OF
one or even one hundred defeats"
1t must 20 on until the weak and help
less Of all classes and conditions are
protected under The laws and until
the day shall come as demanded by
General Grant when the rights of
Il republican shall be as fully admitted
and fully protected at every voting
place in the land MS the rights of a
democrat
TO This end The national committee
Of the National Republican league cor
daily invites all citizens who believe
I'm honest elections and the right OF
every American voter TO vote and have
it fairly counted, who believe in the
dignity of = free labor and faithful
maintenance OF the difference between
American ana European wages, who
believe in the old American policy of
protection to American industries and
TO American workmen, and in the new
American policy Of reciprocity, which
believes in the fullest protection to
an classes of invested interest, and
yet who are opposed to corporation
rule in the government of either nation
or state, who believe in sound money
and honest gold and silver as money,
as pledged in the national republican
platform at Minneapolis, who believe
in such Improvements and extensions
Of the banking systems in the country
rs viii bring he banking facilities near
81 TO the people Of the smaller towns
and communities. who believe in prac-
deal civil service reform such as win
separate the spoils idea from politics
and yet preserve the people in control
of public office and all public affairs,
and who believe in liberal politics and
yet i'm the assertion of American ideas
In MI American affairs All such peo-
pile and MI who are in sympathy with
other policies and aspirations of the
republican party of the future, are in
ritod to unite at once in membership
with the league clubs in their own
uoighborhoods and participate in the
election Of delegates TO the national
convention at Louisville
The republican party being non-sec
toual and instinctively American in
an better meanings Of the terms, choos-
us to open a new contest with this con
vnntion held on southern ground, es-
nocially inviting attendance from all
southern states, and hoping to make
historical this republican meeting in
state which is sacred with traditions
Of Henry Clay Abraham Lincoln and
James c. Blaine
