The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1867-10-02

were born among us. Throw asic
all hesitation, and join us hearth,
Though in the past our party ma
not have done what was expected b
every class, and some may have fe
disappointed, yet all must admit thu
the Republican party is not only tl
party ofprogress, but the party tn;
advoNted, and will insure 10 a
CLASSES, the largest liberty, civil, poll
teal and social.
To the Workingmen's Organizatio
we make an appeal, as we conceive
addressed to their best interests at tn
present time. That they should ad
vocate and support by their votes sue
men and measures as will permanent
ly advance their classes in intelligence
morals and wealth, no Republican
will deny, and we venture the asser
tion, that in the past legislation of on
party, no act has been done that ha
been prejudicial to that large anc
worthy portion of our population. Ii
fact we are all "workingmen," and il
will be difficult to call out from oul
masses any respectable number of men
who are not in the true sense "work-
ingmen." The only we'll defined class
that do not in some way come under
the denomination of "workingmen,'
are known by the popular name Of
"loaicrs." Hence we are working
people in working community. The
laborcr of to-day becomes the me
chanic of Tomorrow, and so we adj
vance till old age disposes of the busy
hosts who throng life's highways.
The genius Of our free institutions
verefied the scripture-"He that
worketh not, neither should he eat'-
and the sons ofa majority of the veal
thy to-day prove the verify of that
scripture; for how few of them take
care of or increase, the wealth that
their industrious, hartlworking fathers
have labored to accumulate? 1t is
this numerous class called "working-
men" that politicians, OIL of Office and
power, seek to influence, so as to re-
gain their lost supremacy; and with
out charging want of intelligence upon
those calling themselves by that hon
orable name, may we not inquire
whether their present organization
ioes not include among its protesting
rlends some men not wholly free
rom the taint Of the late dcfunct
Democracy. We do not charge that
he organization is designed for any
,tler than a worthy purpose, but we
ear designing demagogues outside of
t, and perhaps in it, may cndeavor to
lse it to injure the Republican party.
And what candidate ON the Rcpubli- |
an ticket is there who should merit
he opposition ofthe working classes?
We venture the assertion that there is
lot man on that ticket who is not |
thoroughly Unidentified with the hard
interests Of the country. And
'elng put in nomination by the party
N power, under whose rule the coun-
ry has been, and is being rescued
rom rebellion and ruin, is it Just to
hem, or safe to the country, to defeat
heir election? Having throughout
he dark days ofthe past, stood side by
ide with the loyal masses, who rallied
nder the Republican banner, on the
attle-ficld, and at the polls. Why
I'LL You now withhold your aid in the
our Of our country's greatest peril g.?
% not the great interests of us all
ill demand the same hearty coop
ration? Are we not all brethren,
nd ifs why should we now "fall
ut by the way?"
Every change showing decrease in
he Republican vote, Or defeat of
nat ticket, all over the country, is
'ized upon by the red-handed "unrc- !,
instructed" Rebels and their willing
lies-the Copperheads-who have
zen planning the overthrow of Re-
nblicanism and the policy that crush
| and, if sustained, will utterly des- ,
oy treason, both in the Cabinet and .
the field. With the noble patriot !
otesmen of the country, who have q
'en sustained by that phalanx of /
lrriors in the field, Grant, Sheridan. |
Dgan and their companions in arms, ,
us, in Gods name, finish the good =
ork committed to our hands, and do + +
