"Under this constitution large and -four.
ishing clubs have already been formed in
the larger cities and towns of the state. The
first general convention of these clubs was
held at Burlington las February, and was
significant for its great enthusiasm and
large attendance. The present executive
committee for the state have voted to hold
the second annual convention at Montpe-
lier on February II, 1896. They did this
notwithstanding the absence OF any organ
lied club here, relying upon the cordial
response that they believe would be made
by the young republicans OF the Capital
City.
"The meeting in question will be largely
attended by republicans from all parts OF
| Vermont. There will be two sessions
that in the afterrcon, to be addressed by
one or more speakers OF national reputation,
and the banquet in the evening, to be fol-

approach OF what promises to be a state and
presidential election OF more than ordinary

| We respectfully request you, therefore,
to take part in a meeting to be h sid at the
| Golden Fleece at 1880 P. M Wednesday
evening, January 10, 1896, for the purpose
of organizing Young Mems Republican
Club We cannot reach everyone with this
| circular, but the invitation is general and
extends to all. Come and invite others to
come.
We suggest as proper work for this
meeting the organization of a club, the
election Of its officers and the appointment
| OF committees to cooperate with the execu-
| tive committee of the State Association in
making preparations for the meeting to be
held on the next anniversary Of the BIRTH
day Of Abraham Lincoln.

the republican party and its principles in
