ORGANIZE IN ILLINOIS.
We are nmong the many who believe that
Republican v.ctory in November is q lore'
gonc CONCLUSION. But the glad augrf'es o. the
present, coming to us from all parts Of ths
North will NOT alone insure what all Republi-
cans desire. A close, effective and Immediate
oreao7za:iop, extending from The school district
10 The State at large; must be had, else the en-.
thusi,sm which the the~fortuuste:nosn!nations 'as
Chicago laro c.ciad will wasie. itself in emp
y burras and costly demonstrations, and learc
US with tco small u majority when The couseFt
is DONE Upon Illinois grent and imperative
duty is imposed, Tho earnest, repeated and
inpor.aua,e appeals Of Aos delegates 'ip The
Convention resulted in the adoption by that
body Of the candidate Of her cl.oicc; md now
we must have not only tue majarity whit h Lin
coin obta:ned in 1883, but triumph SO decisive
that crcn our enemies wilt admit That this is
perpetasliy Republican State This is de-
manacl br the pledges Of the delegates, an1
BY the confidence Of the couyenttvn, in the
assuranccs Of tue great local popularity Of tho
chieGun Of Our choice; and we trust that e"
err Republican will make it his especial bust
ness u see 10 it thnt these pledges are re-
deemed, and 10 show that thai confidence was
not misplsce1.
We understand that it is infinitely more
agreeable t. nlske one Of :: large, an excited
and en- husiasuc crowd, in which the music ie'
1,ud aud sonctous, the speaking eloquent and
persuasive, and tho applause vehement, than
70 d. school district drudgery in the organiza-
tion Of lscal a1d feeble clubs, the distribution
Of campaign documents to doubtful voters and
the enumeration Of electors. But We know
1hsrs is taat energy, patriotism and self-sacri'
dcing zeal sn1ong the friends Of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, ia I:hrois, which will impel them TO
do any honest thiog that may be required to
Insure glorious triumph OF the Republican
cause. LII us then exhort them to forego for
tbs present tue shouts over q victory not yet
woa, the glad cxul,n.io1. over "a foe not yet
conquered, and apply themselves to work.
We have before indicated what ought: TO be
done; but hut NC repeat it here OEganlza-
ton must 20 On from below upward, to be
use!ul or permanent 1t nusr'conmenco not
in the getting together Of State Central
Committee. but in the school district and pre-
cinct, ard extend thence to the town, city aod
couu'y. 1t mist begin with. Tue masses, not
with The selfslected leaders; and its object
must . 70, So much The exciting Of new en-
thusia=m in those who already profess the Be-
publican faith, as tho conviction Of those
whose prjud ces and want Of 1n!ormation
have I'D them to opp. 50 the grand movement
in which Republ csns are engaged. That and
tho strengthening cf those who are doubt
ing and weak, and The insuring Of a
full party vote are tho objects to be accom-.
pli.h.d. Our ffie1ds in the rural districts
having this IN mind, will not be ut a loss what
to d.; nor will theY lack tho material upon
which to work. No dis play, no noise, no
hurra is Necessary. Wherever there is q
live Republican, though be may be nlono in
his d-t'ic, there the wc.k may begin. He
mny talk earnestly and kindly with his neigh
bor, put lin in possession Of papers and doc
uments which proclaim the justice Of our
cause, reason down his prejudices and soften
his bnte. He may make a list Of the voters
witl,ir lis beat for tic use Of his town or
eoua'y Committee, which will be,as good Eer-
vics ~ he can do. Where there are half
dozen Republicans club may be formed and
regular meetings hell, and though there may
be 10 speaking, these opportunities for The
comparison Of notes aud tho interchange Of
ideas wall Iot he barren Of good results.
These minor organizations effected, the larger
fellow as mater of course q on the latter
will devclve tue appointne4 4t o. county meet
inss, The printing and distribution Of tickets
md such general business; but the labor, The
real effective, decisive labor Of. the campaign
mus. be done in the nelghborhood, and tint
by Useless and untir;rg eldeavor..
the Weekly pAEss .Nn TRIBUNE contain
ing this article will 70 into the hands Of TWEEN
tt thousand farmers in Itlincis alone. A large
majority Of them arc Republicans We en-
tsea. lem - see to it that the suggestions
which wo throw cut are acted upon in every
school district and precinct in which Repub.
ican can be found.
