Now we do not want for Governor one who
will be ierylc tool to another power, but one
who is able and willing to defend the rights and
dignity Of the ltate whenever they may be III
yaded. Not that would have a governor who
would ever b on the watch to fczc occa~7nof

Nv. Strong is nor iuch man. he has never
whatever his opinions, 1utfered a word to
elcape him tending TO derogate from the ref
poet due to any OF the conRituted authorizes;
bat at the fame ume, he is ready whenever any
clalmng points 81 jurild6Gion ariG, 70 aftrt ami
mai nam the inrcrelt3 and rights OF the pcosie
Of this itate.
On this ground as well as orhere, i zppears'
70 me that thole who have food neutral be-
tween the parties, will feeliy their duty at thia
momenrou3 criEs, TO exert their influence on
the hdc Of Strong. This Taft argument is bor4
rowed from democratic diicu1fons and therefore
i is probable may be iitcne4 TOO BY the rea-
fonabIe Of that party
You then who have always wifh5d to prelcr1c
the pre{ent wife fyttenls Of government, and
have voted rith either party, as it appeared TO
you the real interef OF your country dictated,
will now adopt iuch a courIe Of conduct as VIII
maintain thole principles you have always adso-
Gated
We know what Strong will do If nc be re-
elected
His former administration guarantees his fu-
ture cooduEf. RE Will continue to execute his
Office faithfully and imparti4liy, aud cur Com
monwea,h will fand heady and uhnoved a
Tndf surrounding temPelts.
On the other hand we know net what Judge
Sullivan viii do, bur there is realon to luppote
he will heftate at nothing, which the intemper-
ate wihes Of his party may require OF him In-
deed from the zeal amounting aImot to mad
nels, Y h.ch his Partizans dicover IN promoting
his election, there is little room to doubt thar
they AT LEAST expect the bteling Of revolr-
ton.
Stand forward then, men Of principle, Of
co0lnefs, of rejection, Of found patriotifm y
who aohor political perlecution, and flrink At
the prolpeGt Of political conflicts advance to the
poll, and ciole the contentious Of your county.
