OAKLAND, April 15.-The Young Mems Republican League took on a new lease in it's career tonight, and it is now be- lieved that harmony is assured and that within a few weeks the league will have 1000 enrolled members. President Breed opened the proceedings with a very strong statement of the position of the club with regard to the two candidates for Cover nor in this city After all that has been said by unauthorized parties,' said the president, 1T feel that a statement is ab- solutely necessary at this time to place the club in truthful position before the party in Alameda County. I brand as false and unauthorized any statement that declares this league has indorsed or IS working in the interest of any candi- been freely circulated and although we have received fair treatment from the press, the rumor has not yet been suffi- ciently exploded. After the convention we will get behind all the Republican candidates and work with all our might, but not until then. Now, it is our pur- pose to build up strong party organi- zation. loya! to Republicanism. but not to individuals striving for nominations"
 This declaration was loudly cheered, and some very kind things were said about those wno belonged to the league two years ago but who have not yet joined the ranks. Everything that was said in the discussion that followed looked to har- mony, and anything that might be con D. posed to be in the Pulcifer camp was carefully avoided. Charles Hall spoke of the struggle 1etween the candidates for Governor, and said that the County Com mlttee should take the matter in hand and should end the fight.
 MT. Knowles said that if Alameda did not soon end her quarrel she would find that MT. Flint of San Benito had cap tured the prize. James Oliver of Berke- ley introduced resolution commenting the course Of President Mckinley, and it was carried unanimously and enthusi- astically. Many other speeches were made, and a desire for harmony was inc expression of all.
 At the close of the meeting it was found that nearly 400 had signed lle roll Coffee and sandwiches were generously pro yided, and the affair marked a new era. of good feeling in the life of the club. Ii is now believed that Harry Pulcifer and his followers will accept the offer of the league to have representation on the ex- ecutive committee and that all will enroll. The declaration of non-partisanism hv President Breed has paved the way for speedy union.
