Fight on our own book, tumble about as units

accomplish all tllngs?
We can form coalition ticket AND ELECT IT il

slight exceptions a change of incumbenis could
doubtless be made forthe better. Shalithat change
be made! In regard to the Legislatures prop
er representation can be secured only by coalition.
Shall such representation be secured! Progress

Let them disregard the anxefy Oh parry 'eauers'

In conclusion We adopt as our own, and com
mend to our rea1er the following remarks on Coa-
tions from the Wisconsia True D. crGt, whose
editor is one of the most stle, enlightened and
magnaninous of the editorial fraternity 10 this coun-
try. The Free Democ, al says:
y
d,d,tes shoutd Free Democrats abandon one It'll
principle. But If a coalition can be formed. which
shall only compromise and "of principles, arc
our cause be advanced thereby, then such Goa
Iition should be eagerly embrnced.
When we look over what called our Fret
Democratic successes, cur souls glow win al
exuberant enthusiasm for the good cause. Wha
has been the direct, one o. all those successes
! CoALtTIo1. New HamEhire is the NEST com
pleteiy IIunker State in the Union. Yet JohHazs

Hence as Free Democrats. there is moth
ing in the idea of coalition that should frghen US
On the contrary, wo should look upon it as holy
agency. in the furfheranee of holy cause.
All parties and mon, 10 ali condition of life,

Let the party take this view, and let all Free
