Go to work every one who wishes success.
to the Republican cause and peace to the
country The time is growing short Our
prospects are frightening every day, but a
township, county or district may be doubt
ful and the work Of one man may turn ;he
scale. Vermont gave US a splendid victory,
but it was because every man worked as il
the issue depended on his own efforts.
Let US all go to work in the same spirit and
when the hour Of rejoicing comes, we can
feel that we are entitled to rejoice because
we have helped fight the battle and gain
the victory Let every Republican in
Pennsylvania work as though the result
depended on his own Individual efforts and
we will carry the State first for Hartranft
and Campbella and then for Grant and Colfax,
by such overwhelming majorities that Cop
perheadism win never dare to hope for
success again within her borders.
