From the Washington Union
TO TIE DEMOCRATS OF THE ONION


Every democratic paper is now sounding ,o
arms. They are asking, care you ready" fl
overthrow your opponents on the 7th Noven.
Der? And surely no cause ever more stronr.
ly addressed itself TO the good sense of free
people. Among the various appeals which
the present campaign has called forth, we AZ.
happy 10 recognize the admirable address ~
the democratic committee of New HamDsh;r.
We have no room to-day TO copy the who'll.
but we beg leave TO adopt the following ami
mated suggestions
AROUSE yourselves, then, and prepare Tor
the contest Ii is not now, when you have
both the contemptuous receptions of old enc.
mics and the hostility of new traitors to con.
tend with, that you can repose upon your
arms, relying upon the moral strength of past
victories. Ii is not now, when the treacbe
rous denunciatiOns OF your enemies. against
the late glorious war, are yet ringing in Your
ears-it is not now, when their treasons Of
1912 have just been reacted in lS4S-itis
not now, when rolling in Inconsistencies, as
numerous and changing as the folds OF the
serpent, they are stealing with the serpenrs
crafty maignity 10 the attack-that you can
give less than your whole energies to vour
own cause and your country's.
{" Initiate, then, at the coming election, tha
energy with which, in 1910, when the democ.
racy OF every other State went down, you su..
tanned your iples-givmg them, then, in
the hour Of their adversely, the most signal and
triumphant support.
Remember that Lewis CasS, your cand.

education, that he formed here that sterling
character. which, win The contents OF tbe

west. For your land, he has that undyng AS.
'ect or which who|e.sonled men ever have for
the places of their nativity-the scenes of Their
earl'es! and pIeasantest memories. To him
: as your Industrious son-who has earned dis.
tInctlon by his own noble enterprise-wao
has reflected credit upon you from every high
station he has held-to him, coming before
you now, rs d candidate for the highest otfc,
in your gift-endorsed by the affection and
confidence uf the great west, you owe noble
and triumphant support.
Either this man, sprung from your OwE
