Democracy is in full retreat If the
friends of law and order follow up the
advantage the retreat will be rout by
November. Let no opportunity to bring
out a full vote be lost. Every Repub-
lican should labor from this time to the
election as if on his vote depended tile
contest. We cannot have too many
votes. If the cause should be lost by
one vote it would be as fatal as If lost
