CHICAGO, March 3l.-President Tracey
and Secretary Humphrey of the Republic
can National league to-day issued the fol-
lowing call for the annual convention Of
the league:
ITO the republican state leagues,
league clubs and all republicans: In COM
pliance with the provision of the constitu-
ton of the Republican National league,
and the establishing and annual conven-
tion, and in accordance with the instruc-
tions of the last national convention at
Denver, the eighth annual convention of
the Republican National league OF tho
United States is hereby called to meet in
the city of Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednes-
day, June 10, 1895, at 10 o'clock a. m, and
continue its session until its business is
completed.
''It is supposed to take three days for
this convention, so that there may be
ample time for a full discussion of the
questions of special interest to the party
at this time. The ratio of representation
Will be SIX delegates at large from each
state and territory, four from each con-
gressional district and one from each coll
lege republican club IN the United States,
represented in the American Republican
College league at Grand Rapids, April 8,
1886"
The following are eX-oflicio delegates /:
The president, secretary and treasurer of
the league, one vice president and one eX-
ecutive member of the national organiza-
tion from each state and territory and the
president and secretary of each state and
territory league, making four ex-ofiicio
delegates from each. This gives each
state practically 10 delegates at large in
Il. a,
sional district. The total representation
will exceed 5000 delegates, with an equal
number of alternates.
"Ihe business of the meeting will in
cludc reports from the officers of the
league, the election of officers, vice presi-
dents and members of the executive COM
mittee for the ensuing year, the designa-
ton of the time and place for the next
National league convention, a general
discussion of league club work, party poli-
cies and organization, tho formation of a
plan of campaign, with special reference
TO the presidential year, and a considera-
ton of such other questions as the con-
vcatioa may deem proper.
"Ihe utter failure of the democratic adj
ministration in its management OF both
foreign and domestic affairs has created
national distrust, general paralysis in
business and driven capital from the fac
tories and labor into the streets, reduced
the revenues of the government and in
creased its bond Indebtedness. This
humiliating condition of national mis-
fortune has eliminated party lines some
what, as indicated by the unprecedented
land slide of 1884, which brought large
numbers of protection democrats and
popullsts into tho republican ranks.
These new allies will find ample room
and welcome on the republican platform.
The republican party can stand on its
record. Ii has kept faith with tho people
of the United States, and has protected
all their interests, both foreign aud do
mestic. 1t has demonstrated its ability
10 manage the affairs of the government
successfully both in war and in
peace. We believe the United States now
recognizes its ability to grapple with and
settle satisfactorily all the great public
questions of the day and to meet any
emergency that may rise. II is the priyi.
lege of the league now, as heretofore, to
be first in the field to prepare the way for
the next campaign. 1t is tho only politi.
cal organization that has kept its forces
constantly at work since 1887, and with
tho coming convention proposes to begin
at once a campaign of organization and
education throughout the United States
on a platform broad enough TO attrac,
from all parties the men who believe that
the principles, policies and aspirations OF
the republican party are best for the peo-
pie of the United States.
"All voters in the United States, in sym
pathy with the above. are cordially invited
to join the republican league clubs, and
through the clubs and state leagues, par
ticipate in the election of delegates to the
national league convention at Cleveland.
We appeal TO the young men of the
country, particularly the first voters, to
take advantage of the league plan Of or
ganizatiou and form young mems clubs
with special reference TO the campaign of
1896. Special railroad rates have been Sc
cured for the convention and information
concerning the same will be supplied b.
the various state league officials or direc;
from the headquarters"
