nGAR
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-08-04
THE CAMPAIGN.

Ii is lot regarded as wise on the open
ing of political campaign to intimate in
the party journals nor on the stump that a
certain and easy victory is to be achieved.
1t is rather deemed the best policy to say
that the struggle is hard one; that the
victory will be difficult achievement, and
that success can only perch upon the ban
ners of those who fight manfully, per-
sistently and well, taking no counsel of
their fears and doubts, and leaving no work
undone that comes within the range of
human endeavor. 1t is true that this is
the best possible front that party seek
ing success can present 10 the adversary.
1t is also true that in this spirit victory may
be won out of apparent defeat. Knowl-
edge as to when to strike and where to
strike the enemy that his most vulnerable
points may be successfully assailed is more
than half the battle.
The Democracy in the Northern States
during the last few years, when they have
won victories, have in almost every in
stance achieved them through dissatisfied
Republicans. who wanted reform and hon
estlY thought they could obtain it through
the Democratic party. When Samuel ].
Tilden was elected Governor of New York
it was done by Liberal votes and those of
reform Republicans who either voted for
Tilden or stayed at home. These people
almost to man have returned to the Re
publican fold, and will support Hayes and
Wheeler and the State ticket. How, then,
does Mr.. Tilden and his Democratic friends
expect to carry the Empire Slater Their
allies have left them because they see that
their promises of reform are but so many
shams. The Republicans who sought re-
form through the Democratic organization
and Democratic promises have found
that these pure % gentlemen could
keep the word of promise to
the ear and break it to the hope, !"
and they all therefore come ''back to their
first love" Henceforth they will seek re-
form within the party lines. In all the
States there is closing up of the ranks,
and the Republican party is once more
united, as in the days of Lincoln and the
first four years of Grant, before the Greeley
movement was precipitated. With united
Republican party in the North, what
chance have the Democracy! Let us look
to this, but don't let US be supine or mac
tive, but ioork ! WORK WORK and vic
tory is ours
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-08-04

'FTHE brave Gen. Colquitt" was nomi-
mated for Governor by the Georgia Ku
Klux on the I'd instant by reclamation.
His stock in trade is his boast of the thou,
sands of ringers whom his "brave
boys" killed at the battle of Oulustee.
Serious dissatisfaction is expressed by the
more quiet portion of the Georgia Democ
racy with Colquitt, and it is quite likely
that ex- Governor James johnson, Colonel
James or some other moderate Conserva,
tive will enter the field Gubernatorial. In
that event the Republicans should not hest
tate to support heartily such ticket, fol
their present disorganized condition will
render it impracticable Tor them to place a
ticket in the field of their own selection.
The solid Republican vote, aided by the
support Of a few thousand Democratic
boilers, could easily rescue Georgia from
the Hill Toombs- Colquitt conspiracy, and
make glad an entire State.
