NEW ALLIES WELCOMED.
The utter failure of the democratic
administration in it's 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 its bonded
Indebtedness. This humiliating condi-
tion 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 its
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
ernment 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 arise.
FIRST IN THE FIELD.
1t is the privilege of the league, now
as heretofore, to be first in the field to
prepare the way for the next cam
paign. 1t is the only political organiza-
ton that has kept it's forces constantly
at work since 1887, and with the coming
convention proposes to begin at once
campaign of organization and educa-
ton throughout the United States on a
platform broad enough to attract from
all parties men who believe that the
principles, policies and aspirations of
the republican party are best for the
people of the United States. All voters
In the United States who are in sympa-
thy In the above are respectfully invited
to join the Republican League Clubs,
and, through the clubs and state
leagues. participate in the election of
delegates to the national league conven-
ton at Cleveland. We appeal to the
young men of the country. particularly
the first voters, to take advantage of
the league plan of organization and
form young mems clubs with special
reference to the campaign of 1896.
