party policies and organization, the
formation of a plan of campaign with
special reference to the presidential
year, and a consideration of such other
questions as the convention may deem
proper.
NEW ALLIES WELCOMED.
The utter failure Of the democratic
administration in its management of
both foreign and domestic affairs has
created national distrust, general pa
ralysis in business and driven capital
from the factories and labor into the
streets, reduced the revenues of the
government and increased it's bonded
Indebtedness. This humiliating condi-
ton of national misfortune has elm
mated party lines somewhat, as indi-
Gated by the unprecedented 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
on the republican platform.
The republican party can stand on It's
record. 1t has kept faith with the peo-
pie of the United States and has pro.
tected all their interests, both foreign
and domestic. 1t has demonstrated its
ability to manage the affairs of the gov
eminent successfully, both in war anC
in peace. We believe the United State:
now recognizes it's ability to grappl,
with and settle satisfactorily all the
great public questions of the day and t
meet any emergency that may arise.
FIRST IN THE FIELD.
IT is the privilege of the league, nov
as heretofore, to be first In the field t
prepare the way for the next cam
paign. 1t is the only political organiza
ton that has kept it's forces constant!
at work since 1887, and with the cominl
convention proposes to begin at once
campaign of organization and educa
ton throughout the United States on
platform broad enough to attract from
5 all parties men who believe that tn
t principles, policies and aspirations o
the republican party are best for tn
people of the United States. All voter
, in the United States who are in sympa
thy in the above are respectfully invite,
to join the Republican League Clubs
and, through the clubs and stat
Z leagues, participate in the election o
: delegates to the national league conven
? / ton at Cleveland. We appeal to tn
y young men of the country, particular
70 the first voters, to take advantage o
a the league plan of organization an

u reference to the campaign of 1896
