An Appeal to the YouES Members of
the Republican Party in ManitoWOc
county.
"Whatever is worth doing at
OF Massachusetts,.

"Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing wel'' is Statement in
popular form of the difference between
failure and success in life. If you under
take to espouse any cause do it with
enthusiasm and zeal. "Go in and win. !"
Fame, renown, Ind the highest offices
and Iiguities of the land are prizes that
fortune gi yes only to the brave, enthusl-
astic, and therefore successful. ou
can make your fortune in this campaigns,
expand your intellect. enlarge the scope
of your activities, gain the respect of your
fellow citizens and lay the foundation
ofinhuence ard power by working with
a will for the good cause. But what can
we do and in what way can we lay this
foundation? you may ask. In response
to this inquiry we suggest that every
young man has leisure hours IN the ev
ening and frequently halliday that he
can take without detriment from his
regular avocations. Every young man
knows several other young men ARRIVING
at the age of twenty-one and he can ask
them to meet him for the purpose of
talking up political affairs. These young
men can go out among the shops and
farms for recruits and, in a brief time
they can organize their school distr let or
ward and thus build up first class
Republican club.
Documents can be had in abundance
by addressing Fred Borcherdt, the chair
man of the Manitowoc County Republi
can Committe and thus they can not
only prepare themselves so as to become
first class stump-speakers but they can
distribute documents throughout the
neighborhood and in this manner estab
lish their own influence and popularity.
The country since 1861, when it called
upon the youth Of the land to follow
our glorious flag upon the perilous fields
of battle, has never needed their services
more than at this pre- sent hour. The
stability of our government the contin-
uation of tho peaceful development Of
our mental and moral growth and physical
prosperity are at stake. Under Grant
order, honesty, and peace under
Greeley recklessness, anarchy, and
boundless profiigacy.
The Philadelphia platform constitutes
a political profession of faith of the lar
gest circumference, and the most ex-
plicit utterance upon all questions att
Getting our political growth and progress.
The ingenuity of our political enemies has
not succeed in picking single flaw, and
they are reduced to the necessity OF wag-
ing contest of personal uctractlon and
vlli6ca.ion. However we do not intend
to argue the great question now. The
arguments are voluminous and will ap-
pear in numerous well prepared docu-
ments. At this time we only insist that
three days work devoted to the cause
of the Republic will be of falmost Infinite
value, and will insure of necessity success
| In November.
There are a thousand young men con-
nected with the Republican party living
in the varions wards and townships OF
| this County and we make this appeal to
each and every one of them and not to
| their neighbors. We mean the young
farmer and the young mechanic, the clerk
OF the dry goods store, the student recent
| ly from college each and every one hay-
| ing the same duties to discharge and the
same means OF success at his command.
Again we say, ''Go in and win.' Faint
| heart never won fair lady"
