The evening Argus., 1868-08-19

We are glad to see the Chicago Times
urging that democrats in the school districts
commence organizing at once. There is
where the work s to be done, and there is
where our organization is at fault. The
Times truly says there can, without much
trouble, be great improvement in thai re.
spect. Let committee be organized in ey-
cry town, with authority to appoint men in
every school district to canvass such district
and report the result Of their lAbors,and sug.
gest what oug ht to be done to advance dem.
ocratic interests, the towns reporting to the
counties, and the latter to the state commit
tee,--Aud the good results Of such action will
soon be seen. The plan is simple, feasible,
and, if the work be faithfully performed, will
insure democratic victory. A majority of
republican voters are now willing to hear
both sides and fairly choose between the
parties. The current of public opinion is
turning in favor of democracy; but it will
not be swift enough to carry US to victory in
November without exertion of our own. Or.
ganize, democrats of Illinois, and by hard
work deserve the success which you can
achieve. You ought to be beaten, and you
will be beaten, unless you work as if your
hearts were in the cause. DO that, and you
will kill the Jacobin party. Are you doing
your duty in organizing your school district
and township?

STITCH SEWING MACHINES
Are superio. 10 all others for the following
reasons:
I. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-winding of thread.
. Thev are more easily understood and
.sed, and less liable to arrangement than 9TH
CT machines.
). They are capable of executing perfect
", without change of adjustment, u much
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is
much more firm. elastic, and durable. espe-
cially upon articles which require to be wash
ed and ironed. than any other stitch
5. This stitch. owing to the manner IN
which the outer thread is mwrought. is much
the most plump aud beautiful In use, and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ironed until
they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of on
" few stitches, il Will neither open. run, nor
ravel, but remains firm aud durable.
