To Republican League Clubs and all Re
publicans:-As announced through the
Republican Press of the State under
date of February Goth last, the regular
biennial Wisconsin Republican
League Club Convention will be held
August 24th, 1896, at the city of
Milwaukee. 1t will meet at the
Exposition Hall at twelve O'Clock
noon, and will hold afternoon and
evening sessions. The business of the
meeting will include reports from the
officers of the League, the election Of
officers, vice-presidents and an execu-
tive committee for the ensuing term,
the choosing of fifty delegates and
fifty alternates to represent the
State League in the Great National
League Convention to be held in such
Exposition Hall August %, % and %,
Immediately ensuing, and the adop-
tion of resolutions and measures to
advance League interests and useful
ness. In the State League Conyen-
tiOn each local club will be entitled to
six delegates, besides its president and
secretary, who are entitled TO be
delegates by virtue of their offices.
Proxies for any Of these delegates will
be recognized. All of these delegates
will be admitted TO the meetings of
the said National Convention and
every effort will be made TO make the
occasion profitable and enjoyable in
the highest degree.
The Convention Committee at
Milwaukee has spared neither trouble
nor expense in preparing an elaborate
and splendid reception for delegates
and guests. Speakers of national
reputation will address the Conven-
ton. The railroads have granted a
ore fare rate open to all for round
trip, and the hotels have made reduced
rates. 1t is hoped that every club in
the state will be fully represented.
The importance and interest of the
meeting will amply repay delegates
and guests for their attendance. If
any community has failed to organize
a republican club, let it be done and
delegates elected.

Church membership should be source
Of great joy. As we find in His word:

Psalmist speaks, there is Joy in church
