overcome Radical majorities of the counties in
the lower part of the State. We have great
faith IN the success of the Union Refrom State
ticket, but we think 1t will be by close vote,
possible maiorities in every county IN the up
Der part OF the State. We must poll every
possibIe vote for our candidates. Every
honest man In Union County must take on
his coat, roll up his sleeves, and go lnto
the campaign with the same determlnauon
that would actuate him to save h1s mousse any
family from destruction by fire. Union IS
GOOD for too hundred majority for Carpenter
and Butler and the county officers, il harmony
prevails in our ranks and the people work as
the emergency of our situation requires. Let
there be intelligentand jealous delegates rom
every township of our County Convention;
and let that conyention harmonic upon
sound, able and honest county ticket; then
we'll bet our bottom dollar (lt We get more
than one by that time) that 1t will be elected
The pimps and tools of Scott may boast OF be-
ing sure of majority for thieves and rascais,
but we know thing or two about their party.
Their boasting is like the boys Whistlng as ne
passed through the ve-yard-they are aw-
fully and only 5sa make D bsg ase 20 a ttse se
knees like the man who was caught
stealing the jewelry from the body OF his
dead wife. All we have to do Is to thorough.
" organize, and not allow unimportant
questions to attract us from the great aim Oh
the Union Reform party. Men call themselves
Democrats, but ask them If there is single
measure upon which the old Democratic party
was based in the issue now before the people,
and they cannot name one. Nor will they be
able to make any OF the old issues until the
present Radical party Is defeated, and the Fed
eral and State governments are restored 10
honest hands. Let all honest men, who desire
the overthrow of corruption, extraVagance and
oppressive taxation in our State, lay aside
every other consideration at this time and
unite with the party formed for that express
purpose. No good can possibly result from op-
posing the Reform party, tor there Is NOW no
other party organized against the corrupt Rad
ical party and it is folly to pretend to STICK 10
an old party name when there are no nV!pg
ISSUES to back 1t. The man who opposes the
government, and cares but little for the gooo
Of the State or his fellow-citizens.
