One Object.


The time has come for work and harmonious,
hearty cooperation of all the elements of the Re.
publican party in Baltimore county. All dissen.
sions should be forgotten. All discords should
be buried. All strife between any members Of
the party should be put away. The party should
know nothing of them. And if they should I'm.
fortunately and accidentally be brought up the
party should pass on unconscious of the disturb
ance and leave those engaged in this sort Of pur-
suit to settle their own difficulties Let all of us
turn our backs upon the past and look hopefully,
cheerfully towards the future and GO manfully to
work to secure a magnificent triumph this fall.
And Republicans must do more than this. They
must forget their Micauberlike disposition of
waiting for something to turn up They must
not

Until occasion tells them what to do"
They must have thought and voltion of their
own. They must put their thoughts to work.
They must hunt up their most reliable and ener-
getic fellow-citizens to place upon the ticket as
their standard-bearers. And then they should
lose no time nor pains in making that ticket sue
cessful in the contest that is upon US. No good
citizen has any right to stand aloof from politics
and content himself by saying that ''the business
will be attended to, that there will be ticket
put in the field, that so-andso will see that it is
all right that be has no time to devote to that
object or that he can exert no influence in that
direction" Every man has his influence. FIRE.

is their duty to do it, They cannot neglect it
without mourning grave responsibility.
We do not believe these will fail to give thos e
around them the benefit of their criticisms Of
whatever may go wrong or in a manner that
does not please them when the nominations are
made. They will then be sure to speak out loud

obtain the best condition of affairs in the party
in the way of ticket and the manner of conduct
ing the campaign.
Then see to it, good men, that every mans
face is turned towards the future, that his ener-
gies and influences are exerted in behalf of the
success of the Republican party this fall, that no
man is allowed TO shirk or flag in his devotions
TO the cause. See that every man has a fair
hearing and fair chance in his aspirations Do
not allow any intrigue or combination to damage
the cause by driving good men from the ticket or
from active participancy in the campaign. That
this condition may obtain, every man must be
a man. He must exercise his thoughts and judg-
ment in aiding the cause. He must act out bis
own convictions. He must promulgate his own
opinions. He must do his own work. Let every
man do bis level best and refuse to notice bcker
ings, keep Republican triumph steadily in view
and thus aid the cause all he can. The result
takes care of itself.
