more than friendly greeting,
Thus early in the field and a
glorious work to dO-and thank

Crosse to New York, our heart
is still with the glorions men OF
the West and their efforts to
win independence from Eas,

only excuse for earnestness'
Ohio must be redeemed this
fall. 1t can be. 1t is for you
who love the West and protec'

say whether you will make that
State Democratic, or allow it to
be a tail for the bondholding
kite of the East or a dividend
for New England monopolists.
While you men in the West
are working, Eastern ,politi-
clans are stealingyour earnings
Eastern monopolists are run

Honest labor and tenfold tax.

there does not come a Demo

workingmen.
The East now boasts that the
West is in chains, in bondage,
in debt, and unable to move
