NECESSITY FOR ORGANIZATION.

When Horace Greeley was first nomi-
mated for President the people were taken
by surprise, and after the surprise had
partially subsidized they laughed at the
nomination as good joke. After getting
through laughing, the Liber ais and Demo
Gratis became angry, fearing that the op-
portunity to make nomination to beat
Grant had been thrown away. After the
subsistence of their anger they concluded
to make the best Of necessity and give
Greeley their united support as the only
candidate and the best means to beat
Grant. Such are the aspects presented to
q common observer by the nomination of
Greeley by the Liberals and Democrats.
But recent developments by the Bing-
hamton Republican would seem to show
that months before the Cincinnati Con-
vention Greeley entered into an arrange
ment with leading Democrats to secure
the nomination of the Liberals and to re.
Ceivo the Democratic nomination. But
whether that is so or not, certain is is
that Greeley is now the candidate of the
Cd Democratic party and Of all who are
left of the Liberal party. And the Dem
ooratic party itself numbering three or
four millions voters, is at all times for.
midable rival. And now, when it thinks
it will have the assistance Of all sore.
head and perhaps some honest but mis-
taken Republicans, it will leave nothing
undone to elect Greeley, and to secure to
itself the administration of the Govern
ment and the emoluments Of office.
There are Republican voters enough in
the United States to secure the election
Of Grant if they are brought to the polls.
There are Republican voters enough in
Wisconsin to give Grant and Wilson ten
thousand majority if brought to the polls,
but if the votes of ten thousand Republi-
cans remain out of the ballot box the re-
ut may be doubtful. There are Repub.
lican voters enough In Kenosha county to
give Grant and Wilson from three hun.
dred to five hundred majority, but if five
hundred Republican votes remain out of
the ballot box the result may be doubtful
The danger is that the Republicans,
thinking that the nomination and support
Of Greeley IS only farce, will not make
tae necessary effort to bring out the full
Republican vote. And at no place per.
haps is the danger greater than il Keno
aha county. Hence the necessity for Or
ganizatiOn. There should be County
Grant and Wilson Club formed without
delay. There should also be Grant and
Wilson Club formed in Kenosha and in
every town in the county. And there
should be general canvass by School
Districts that there may be no Grant and
Wilson vote left out of the ballot box
To make sure of the full majority in this
county will require work, and the work
hould commence now. Ratification meet
ng8 and speeches are good in their
places, but b9ait 5fis organization
nd faithful private work that
7ill do most to, secure the full vote and
ull majority for Grant and Wilson. To
ecure such organization and work we
Fould suggest the calling Of meeting by
le Republican County Committee for
le formation of a County Grant and
Tilson Club. Or that they initiate such
.roceedings as they think best to accom-
5lish the purpose.
