and Secretary Humphrey, of the Republi-
can National league today issued the fol-
lowing call for the annual convention of
the league:
League Clubs and Ali Republicans;
I'm compliance with provision OF the
constitution of the Republican Natlonal
league, establishing an annual convention
and in accordance with the instructions
of the last national convention at Den
yer, the eighth annual convention or the
Republican National league of the Uni
city of Cleveland, Ohio, Wednesday,
June 49, 1895, at 10 o'clock a. m, and con-
tinue its session until its business is
complete. It is proposed TO take three
days for this convention, so that there
may be ample time for full discussion
on the questions of special interest to the
party at this time. The ratio of repre-
sentation will be six delegates-at-large
from each state and territory, four from
each congressional district and one from
each college Republican club in the Uni
ted States represented in the American

executive member of the national organi-
cation from each state and territory, and
the president and secretary of each state

cussion of league club work, party poll
cies and organiZa ton, the formation of a
plan of campaign, with special reference

ton of such other questions as the con-
vention may deem proper.
The utter failure of the Democratic
administration in its management of both
foreign and domestic affairs, has created
national distrust, general paralysis in
business, and driven capital from the
factories and labor into the streets, re-
duced the revenues of the government,
and increased its bond 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 on the Republican platform.
The Republican party can stand on its
record. 1t has kept faith with the peo-
pie of the United States, and has pro-
