CONCLUDING ADVICE.
Do not 90 home saying that Gen
eral Buckland is going to be elect
ed, and thcro is no use to work
but go to the polls. The ballot is
the bullet that we can shoot now,
and let us shoot it-shoot with bal
lots and shoot just as we did down
in the army, right towards the en-
cmy. Let me tell yon that we
can't miss them. -
When we leave this Convention,
let us go home into our counties,
determined to organize the cam
paign upon a scale that will bring
to the polls tho voters of the coun-
ties.
DO not care for the President. :
Simply ask for what is right. /
am slid that we have Congress
that can go straightforward and do
what is right. We have the pow
Or, and let us keep it. We have
the power to mako them do right,
and let us mgke them do right
First, because we have the power;
and secondly, because il isrig,at to
make them do right. Let us keep
them cut of Congress until the last
blast of Gabriel'ss trumpet, unless
| they come up and enter into con-
| tract to do right in the future.
