1t is time that Republicans were taking
active measures to make perfect ant
complete organization Of the party in eaei
town in the State. for enough has beer
developed Of tt tactics of our cpponent'
to admonish Us that We shall have to work
this season in good earnest, and with some
thing of the enthusiasm of 1860 and o.
1886, if we would have perfect victory in
September and November. The Demo.
Gratis will make the most they can Of well
devised and most complete system OF brag'
and of snowy appliances. Fuss and
Feathers does not give fair idea Of
what these modern political tacticians will
resort to. for something more forciblc. and
more taking will be used. Being up for
"Cowes and Market" just now in their
Presidential hunt, the knowing ones mean
to nominate man that they can make
some sort Of fight on; aud then no
amount Of money, or time. Legitimate or
illcgitimate appliances will be spared to
compass mn election. Martial music,
which was 60 distastcful during the war;
military parad 6, big conventions, gotten
up by the expenditure Of largo sums Of
money large outlay in the circulation Of
partizan journals will be used to effect
their object. Some taking displays to
please the unwary and to captivate the
unthinking will be devised to this end.
Let US, then enter the campaign with the
understanding that We shall have to con-
test the field inch by inch, all summer, and
that VIC. shall need all our strength, well
applied. to win just such a victory as oar
cause deserves at this time. No ride is-
sues, no petty jealouses. no selfish schemes
for prospective personal advantage. no
weak and childish anirnosities, no dislkes or
fancied grievances, should for moment be
harbored, or suffered to hinder Us from
forming one solid column, with full ranks.
