Worth-The G. o. P. To Be
Reorganized-Leagu
Club Notes.

Texas Republicans are about
completing the most perfect organ
ization the party has ever had in
this state. The Executive Com
mittee of the State Republican
League of Texas, has issued a call
for the State convention, which
meets in the city of Fort Worth
Tuesday, June 18th, 1894.
1t is proposed to make the con-
vention one of the greatest politi-
cal demonstrations held in this
state for many years. There
will be at least 600 delegates, and
a number of distinguished speak
ers will address the convention.
The following having been special
ly invited to attend: Hon. Frank
d. Jackson, of Iowa; w. o. Brad
ley, of Kentucky; Hon. J. s. Clark
son, of Iowa; Hon. John A. Thurs
ton, of Nebraska; General Dick
Oglesby, of Illinois, and Hon. Ros-
well G. Hoar, of Massachusetts ;al-
so Hon. w. w. Tracy, national
president of the Republican League
club.
The convention will hold its ses-
sion during the morning and after
noon of June 18th, and at night
there will be a mass meeting, to be
addressed by the invited speak
ers. Great interest is being
taken in the movement, as
is evidenced by the large
number of clubs being organized
throughout the state. In adddi-
ton, there will be the meeting of
the State Executive committee of
the state, at same place andsdate;
also delegations from each coun-
ty, composed Of the most promi-
nent Republicans of their respec-
tive sections. The League conven-
ton will elect 81 delegates to the
National Republican League con-
ventiOn to be held at Denver, Col
orado, June Goth, 1894. The Fort
Worth convention will arrange a
progressive plan OF campaign for
the year and appoint committees
to form clubs in every election dis
trict in the state. The party lead
ers seem confident that two, and
probably three Republicans will
be elected to Congress, next No
vember.
Victories are not won in parties,
any more than they are in war,
without organization and earnest
ness. Therefore all Republicans,
and those who believe in the prin-
ciples of protection to American
industries, are invited to get to-
gether and elect men to properly
represent us in the legislative
halls.
