June IL promises to be great day
for the Republicans Of Texas. At that
time and IN this city the state conven-
ton Of Republican leagues will hold It's
annual meeting. and II Indications
count for anything It will be the larg-
est and most enthusiastic gathering OF
the party ever held In the state.
All over the state the campiires Of
the coming campaign are being lighted
and every day the chairman in this
city is receiving notice OF the organl-
zntlon Of new leagues, and informing
him that they VIII send delegates to
the coming convention.
The convention is called for the pur-
pose OF electlnB sixty-two delegates 70
the national convention Of Republican
Leagues. which meets In Denver ON June
~. They VIII also elect officers FOR the
ensuing year and consider the best
plaug Tor porieating the organization
OF the party forces throughout the

A number Of Republicans OF national
reputation, us wen us u plentiful supply
of local talent. have been invited to
address the convention, and while al

siderable correspondence has been go
Ing ON between both the ohalrmen ana
members Of these two committees with
a view to settling tho division In the

Republicans from all parts ct the state
have been invited by Chairman N. -.
Moore OF the regular, or black and
tan committee TO be present and aid
by their counsel IN reatoring harmony
OF the thirty-two members OF the COM
mittec headed by Chairman Moore all
but one will be present. IL could not
be learned what the prospects were for
full meeting Of the lily white" COM
mittce NJ which l., b, Goodcll Of this
city is acting chairman, but the imports
uuco of the occasion VIII doubtless
bring out fun attendance.
From all that can hc learned the
main difference between the factions is
ON tho question OF a basis FOR repre-
ecntation In the state convention. The
"llly whites want to adopt what IL
known ns the census plan" giving to
ench race representation according 10
their population In the various coun-
ties ON the other hand, the regulars
or BLACK and tam" faction want the
Harrison vote In 1899 TO be the basis
There Is also q respectable number who
favor "A combination OF the two plans,
taking the Harrison vote OF 1892 "a u
basis and Gpportlon the delegates be-
tween the whites and blacks according
TO the census plan.
II Is very probable that on the ASSEM-
bling OF the two executive committees
the 'llly whites" will invite the black
and tnns' to appoint committee on
conference. which WIN be done, and the
conference committee so chosen will
formulate a plan for harmony, recon-
mending the Harrison vote ms q basis
for representation and suggesting the
diahanding OF the lilly white" COM
