United States Senator, and no true Re.
publican wall, by his vote, render such
a result possible.
We also sutreat our friends to pay no
heed to the attempt to delude them
into the belief that the Republican
party is opposed to the new ConsrItu-
ton 1t vas Republican State Con-
veution which first demanded revision
Of the old Constitution so as to secure
the suppression Of special legislation
it was a Republican Legislature which
called the Constitutional Convention
the Constitutional Convention was it.
self Republican it was the Republi-
can vote of the State which secured the
adoption Of the new Constiiu ion aud
it was Republican Legislature which
framed the legislation necessary TO carry
its provisions into effect. The party
record is too clean upon all these points
to be questioned or doubted.
The business depression which has
fallen upon the country in the past year
has been blamed Upon the Government
and as the effect Of Republican policy
but a. the same depression was preva-
lent Throughout Europe. 1t is clear that
it must be due to other causes. The
country is already rapidly recovering
from its effects. q result wb ch, when
parics occurred heretofore, required
several years TO accomplish /: aud a.
the only remedy which Democracy offers
is free trade aud return to the de
structive policy which produced the
rulnous Ie,ulsions of 1887 and 1857,
the people will fnd it much safer to
trust to the policy under which the
country Is nov IecuperAiing than 10 'all
back upon the exploded one thet pre-
vailed under Democratic rule.
We earnestly urge up"n our friendk
throug hout rhe Commonwealth TO wake
10 to the real Importance of the pend
ing election, asd ty energetic work to
render certain Republican victory.
Such u victory is not To- he ~on by su
p,neness, and folding the hand. in care
iess neglect OF the great issues at stake. |
Victory, if won, must be sought. and /
not waited for. Active, energetic, un
tagging effort is essential Ia assured I
success. 1t is no. in the power &C the 1
Democracy to carry this State If them
selves, but carele.sness and neglect on
our part may aid them.
Organization, work, and the cui'iva-
tion of a spiri; of Cancellation and har-
mony where local differences have pre- |
vailed. will accomplish much; and .e
appeal to the Republicans of the State,
as they love their cherished principles,
as they are devoted to the promotion of
the material interests of the Common
wealth, as they value the preservation
Of the peace Of the Union aud its per-
peiulty, as they desire the permanent
establishment of the PROTECTIVE policy,
rs they value honesty, integrity, and
fidelity 10 the public servants, to put
on fresh zeal for their sacred and !
righteous cause, to renew their hearty
devotion to their principles and the
welfare of the country, and by strong
and determined rally at the polls, to
crush out at once the hopes of those
who would light again the fires Of re-
belIiou at the Scuih, and the purpose
to co operate with them which auima,es
their spemocratic coadjutors at the
North.
By o:ler of Republican State Com
mittee.
Resell ERRErT, Chairman.
