The Union State Central Commit
tee are working like beavers to per-
feet the Union organization in all |
parts of the State Reports that reach
the Chairman and Secretary are re-
pgafded'as quite encouraging, yet the
Committee realizes, that hard work is
demanded of every Union man in the
State to work assurance doubly sure.
The enemy is active and vigilant,
Backed by the Government patron Il
age. the Gopperheads are encouraged
to put forth desperate, exeFtions2, and
they VIII leave no, means Tuntried to
accomplish their ends. The Commit
tee find1it sdificult to- secure good
speakers, especially from distance,
and they are harrassed by letters de-
manding speakers that they cannot
supplyg From all sections of the
| va = &
State come, complaints that all the
speakers are being sent elsewhere, and
that the Committeeare not acting with
the best discrimination. i presume
some complaints against the Com
,mitfeeq are unjust. The Committee
ought to be better informed as to the
situation In all parts of the State than,
any local committee or individual can
| be, and il they act in accordance with
1.-the information they should have
within their possession,gthe various
District and County Committees ought
to be contented. IF they can not
| always secure speakers, from a dis
tance, each County Committee should
only make the better use of those
they have at home. fIo ~, !. '
