banner, but forces them in their cam
paign to look imoro to sclf-preservation
than to any corruption or misn,nnage-
ment Of its members, and to that extent
is serious injury to the State.
That notwithstanding the fact that Just
cause OF complaint may exist against the
Republican party for sins of omission
and commission, they havo done much
to ameliorate tho condition Of the ,rhiie
people OF the State; amcliorntions which
| tho Legislature of the State, in 1865 and
1866, refused to grant. That party las
| secured homestead TO the head Of every
family. Thousands Of women and chill
dren in this State would have been house
less and homeless, naked aud starved,
but for the beneficent provisions of the
homestead enactment. Every voter thus
protected should remember, when he
comes to cast his vote, who furnishes
q shelter, in sun shine and storm, over
the heads Of his wife and children, de-
spite the stale claims of hcartlcss crcdi-
tors. That this same party has protect
ell all debtors in their Constitution from
paying debts contracted for slave pro-
perty.
That this same party has been equal
TO the human progress OF the age in
lOI tCDt. L iluG
| this same purity, whatever may have been
raised the market value Of the bonds Of
the State from twcnty-sX cents in Jann-
AIRY, 1865, to about ninety cents ut he
present time
| Ii good and true men will consent to
accept the Reconstruction Acts Of Con-
gress, and the legislation, Federal and
State, necessarily growing OH: Of them
if they will accept the new conditions
surrounding us-if they will affiliate
with the Republican organization, cspe-
cially in this State. VIC will profit largely
by what they have done correctly, and
much can be accomplished to correct
abuse and malfcasancn tnnt may have
grown up in the auomaloU. state OF
affairs surrounding us.
Believing no good result can now from
the reform movement, shall vote for
the nominees of the Republican party
Very respectfully, JAMES L. ORR.
