The principal cause of the war was tho

importance to regulate labor Justly, both
TO employers and employees.
Under the immense pressure of the
Radlcals, we must not expect to obtain i'm
medistely all we wish; but we are willing
and. apxlouR to sustain the Presidents
administration, unless radical change
should come over him. You will have TO
MAKE platform and nominate candidates
for State Offices. You will have to ses
that the candidates are not Objectionable
