duly represented in the American Repub-

The following are ex.officio delegates:
The president, secretary and treasurer of
the national league, one vice president
and one executive member of the national
organization from each state and territory,
and the president and secretary of each
state and territorial league, making four
ex-oflicio delegates from each. This gives
each state practically tho 10 delegates 6
large, in addition TO the four from each
congressional district. The total repre-
sentation will exceed 2O00 delegates, with
an equal number of alternates.
What VIII lie Done.
The business Of the meeting will include
reports from the officers OF the league;
election OF officers, vice presidents and
members OF the executive committee for
the ensuing year; the designation Of the
time and place for the next national
league conventions; general discussion of
league clubs work, party politics and or
ganization; the formation of plan OF cam
paign, with special reference to the presi.
Dental year, and consideration of such
other questions as the convention may
deem proper
The utter failure of the Democratic ad-
M stration in its management OF both
fo. eign and domestic affairs has created
national dissrust, general paralysis in
business and driven capital from the fac
tories and labor into the streets, reduced
the revenues of the country and increased
its bonde5 indebtedness.
This humiliating condition of national
misfortune has eliminated party lines
somewhat, as indicated by the unprece-
dented landslide of 1894, which brought
large numbers of protection Democrats
and Populists into the Republican ranks
These new allies will find ample room
and welcome in the Republican platform,
which is broad enough for every patriotic
American.
Proud OF It's Record.
The Republican party can stand on its
record. 1t has kept faith with the people of
the United States and protected all their
Interests, both foreign and domestic. IL
has demonstrated It's ability TO manage
the affairs OF the government successfully,
both in war and peace. We believe the
people of the United States now recognize
It's ability TO grapple with and settle salts
factorily all the great public questions OF
the dny to meet any emergency that has
arisen.
1t Is the privilege of the league now, as
heretofore, TO be first in the field to pre-
pare the way for the next campaign. II Is
the only political organization tiat has
kept it's forces constantly at work since
1887, and with the coming convention
proposes to begin at once o campaign OF
organization and education throughout
tho United States on platform broad
enough to attract from all parties the men
who believed taat h principles and as
pIrations OF the Republican party are bost
for tho people of the United States.
