publican League Of this State has issued
a call for a State Convention Of the
League to he held in Baltimore on june
9th. prox. which will be addressed by
Hon Julius C Burrows and several
other prominent Republicans Of National
reputation This action on the part Of
the prominent Republicans of the State
Is ominous commendablo and very graf
flying to every Republican who is aux-
1ous for his party's success. The mega
rive. undecided and vaeillling manner
in which the Democratic party has man
aged the affairs of the country since it
Jas bad absolute control thereof, has
,i,gusted even its own followers. aud

advantage Of it. 1t behooves US
then to organize. In organization there
is strength; without organization, this
State being actually Democratic, we can
not hope for success The League has
seized hold OF the right idea in its call
for convention, and in such
program the key note Of success
is sounded if the rank aud Gle of the
party will hut respond to the call
in the proper spirit.

for through the success of the Republi-

of party success in the Sixth Congress

have a sound soney policy, and whether
the Democratic party has shown itself
competent to manage the affairs of this
Nation, or the question whether or moi
