opened, the necessity for work is immediate
and pressing. Let not the assurance Of sue

must not only succeed, but succeed over

will be rs fatal as open enemies.
Let the majority pledged By our delega>

and surpassed. Not content with simple
victory let vs. by earnest work, BY labor Of
preparation, BY infusing personal interest
and individual energy into the campaign,
secure. as we may, signal and decisive
triumph. PETEa MELESDY.
