Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1872-07-24

In the editorial columns Of a late
number ofl the GAINESVILLE Courier we
hAd an article in which the writer
wisely seeks to impress upon the
minds of Republicans the necessity
Of organized and concerted action.
We coincide with the Courier's view
CT the situation,rsand believing the.
subject matter Of the article to be as
applicable to the Republicans of
Trumbull as Muskingnm county, we
here give it a place in our columns.
Either Ulysses S. Grant or Horace
Greeley will be the next President of
the United States. The fight has now
actually begun. Fom this until the
fifth day of, November there will be
constant assaults along the whole line.
Greeley, . use his p~hraseoloey,
heads the ~"organized ignorance and the
dangerous elements of the country"
The standard bearer of the honest and
intelligent masses, is the present quiet,
unobtrusive inmate Of the White House.
Shall he bekept there another term p
that is the question at issue.
Candidly we believe he will, but we
are not one of those who believe the
4 campaign is going to be a holiday affair.
1t is not. The stake is a large one and
the contest forit will be correspondingly
hot. The South will fight for Greeley,
to regain by ballot what IL lost by war.
The Tammany Ring will fight for
| Greeley to regain its old a~scendancy.

doubt in which camp they will be found.
Greeleyis regarded by them as a god
send-their Moses. Their elsmoring is
already heard where he has planted his
standard. This is apparent to all; and
il is therefore the imperative duty Of
every true man who desires thelaw and
order element of this country to rule,
to grid on his armor for a contest which,
in the end, mean something more than
the election of this man Or that to Office.
If honesty is to be the Characteristic in
the administration of the affairs of this
nation for the next four years Republi-
cans have get to work. There must be
individual efforts and individuals sacri-
fees as well as organized and concerted
action. "What is eyerybody's business
is. nobodYis business" is a truism when
applied to political matters. Therefore
Organized Organize by townships by
school districts and wards Let us not
have it said that we knew our duty but
were too dilatory, too lazy to do it. The
great Republican party wants to do
more than elect Grant this fall. Itwants
to deliver q blow to the organized
ignorance and dangerous elements" Of
the country from which theyYiH never
recover. There is no absolute safety
till this is done. The hoarse shouts
going up for Greeley in the South are
the old rebel yells, toned down for q
purpose and only for a time. Thou
sands of honest Democrats all over the
country recognize this and will join us
this fall. Others can be brought into
our ranks and it is our duty to see that
a way is opened up for them. 1t is not
desirable that at each recurring Presi-
Dental election we should be confronted
by a host determined 10 undo the work
OF the party which has had control of
and done more for the real prosperity
and adVancsment of the country in the
few years il has been in power, than its
antagonist did in all the years of its
existence. zis
In this county, the duty of effecting
3 thorough organization depends
mainly, though not wholly, upon the
County Central Committee, the
names of the members of which we
herewith publish. urging the neces-
sity of early and earnest action. In
other counties and other cities in our
grand old Commonwealth Republican
or Grant Clubs Republican leagues,
etc, Are being rapidly formed Let
US not be behind here in Trumbull.
By addressing the Chairman of the
Central Committee, forms for organic
ing Grant and Wilson Clubs viii be
furnished. Let the work Of organizing
be at once begun in every township.
