ORGANIZE.

L is none too early to begin the work oI
organization if we wish to do effective work
iu the coming campaign. We have been foI
so long time fighting the battles of the
party and the country wholly independent OF
organization-each man working on his own
hook that it is hardly thought necessary
to meet, consult and decide as to the best
method Of securing improved results for the
future. But We must begin TO give this
matter its proper and full consideration. In
deed, if we ever hope to better our condition
as party TO increase our vote and do real
service in the great cause we cannot order a
halt of the old style of promiscuous, helter
skelter marching moment too soon. The
day for independent individual fighting has
passed by. The day for firm united joining
IN the work of securing victory has arrived
and if we wish really to become a power in
this thus far benighted region of Democracy,
now IS the word we must adopt as our motto,
sud now is just the time proper to start the
great ball of victory rolling in that direction
Il IS but a couple ofweeks ago that mum
Der Of Republicans met in consultation and
resolved to set this ball of victory in motion
by the appointment Of new County Stand
ing Committee The work is not yet accom-
p'ished, but the time has arrived in which it
should be done, and well done too The
Committee should be composed of active,
earnest men-men noted for their energy,
their honesty, their capacity for the work
which Will necessarily fall in thcir way, and
who are known by their fellow men of all
PARTIES for the possession Of these characteriS-
Tics. Such men can readily be found, as true
70 the principles Of Republcaism, as is the
needle to the poll in all sections of the coun-
Try. 1t is not necessary that they delight in
tinsel, or come deckcd 10 fuss and feathers
on the contrary it is better that they come as
plain common sense men more eager to work
than indulge in display To find such men
II Is only necessary to consult with the mass
Of the brethren throughout the country, and
70 secure a good, effective working committee
it is ouly necessary, when found, to consti-
tute them leaders in the sense that position
on the County Committee makes them such
With Committee thus formed, and of the
material indicated, the work Of organization
will be more than half accomplished in the
very beginning, and the work of holding
meetings, forming clubs, and distributing
documents will be arranged almost as soon as
the convention at Cincinnati gives assurance
as to under whose banner RepublicaGism is
TO march TO certain victory In November
And more than this. For as we intimated
in former article, such a committee and
such organization will be productive of
Republican vote in Monroe county, such as
cannot fail to surprise even the most enthu-
siastic of our brethren.
In view OF this more than probability, had
we not better begin the work now? Time
once passed never returns" contains truth
as important to politicians as it has to the
thousands Of school boys who have found it
al once an admonition and an example in the
old time copy book, and as Republicans of
Monroe county, we shall all be terribly
derclet Of duty if in this important matter
Of organization, we do not adopt it as our
prime moter, and act promptly aud energeti-
caly.
