Clubs and Il Notable Speech.
ST.. Paul, Jan. "a meeting of the
Republican state central committee was
held at the Windsor hotel yesterday af-
ternoon at which the president and sec
rotary and other members of the Re
publican state league were present. and
plans for the next campaign were dis
cussed and other business transacted. 1t
has been the Idea of prominent Republic
ans Of the state that the campaign of
1884 shall be prefaced by educational
work among the voters of the state with
q view to affording them some reliable
information on national issues of the
day, and how this work shall be done
was the principal question under discus,
sion yesterday. 1t was thought that the
work could perhaps best be done through
the organization of the state league OF
Republican clubs, which reaches into
every county, and for this reason Presl-
dent GoouNow and Secretary +. G. Stew
ems, of the league were invited to be
present at the meeting of the state COM
mittee and assist in perfecting a plan in
which both the committee and the league
can work tremendously and ins co-opera-

Mr.. Koerner moved that as it seemed to
be the general sentiment that m early
start be made, the meeting recommend
that a state convention of the State
League of Republican clubs be held in
February toward the end Of the month.
President GoodnOw, of the state league,
seconded the motion, which was carried.
In connection with the league conyen-
ton every speaker impressed upon the
meeting the necessity of securing promi-
nent orators like Gov. Mckinley, Thomas
Iva Wv N>E'~'ASAAp
and this will probably be done.
Mr.. Goodnow then moved that 1T is
the sense of this meeting that it will be
for the best interests Of the Republican
party of this state for the Republican
county committees to cooperate with the
state league and the state central COM
mittee in the work Of affording to the
voters all the information they. may de-
sire on the vital political issues of the
day" This was adopted.
President Goodnow then requested that
the state committee, it's chairman and
secretary, cooperate with the league in
holding a league convention, which will
probably be held in Minneapolis. The
meeting concurred in the suggestion, and
in this way the state committee, the
league and county committees were
welded together and will work intelligent
ly as a unit, on one broad, general plan.
~ Mr.. Koerner, the member of the state
committee from the Twelfth judicial
district, rendered his resignation, Ss he
is a candidate for the Office of state
treasurer. and he did not deem it adj
visable that a candidate for an Office
should remain on the committee. The
resignation was accepted, and Henry
Feig was elected to fill the vacancy.

the state central committee be elected t.
represent the Seventeenth judicial dis
trict, created by the last legislature, enl-
bracing the counties of Norman. Polk,
and kittson. This was carried, and O.
II. Myron was elected to represent the
district on the committee.
The outsiders were then requested to
retire, and the state committee then went
into executive session. and for an hOur
considered the question of finances and
the best methods of carrying out the
proposed circulation of Republican liter
allure. After an hours delberation the
committee adjourned.
