THE RESULT IN ORMSRY - IT'S
LESSON.

| The Repr Eiicans Of Or!neby county
have again won complete and over
whelmin- victory. This result wa:
accomplished not with money, moi
| yet by any outside pressure Or i'Itiu
ence, but ~ the integrity Of the party
itself. Voters who had in previous
| elections suffered themselves 10 scratch
| their tickets, saw III this contest s
struggle fer life: and they vowed tc
! make 10 compromise with the enemy;
| however trivial. The success Of the
straight ticket is the gratifying result
This shows what can be done by good
| faith between the nomiuees-by pull
| ing together for the common cause.
The Ies,nD should not be forgotten.

few of It's nominees. Each one OF
these no;.;;nCos had his own fight 10

No man cared for his neighbor, but
fought solely for his own advance

bred .jealousies, i!ssensious and open
uc,rreis. Instead Of banding together
in support Of Il common cause, each
man made bis OWN candidacy and its
success hi> chief aim, if not his sole
object. We roaped the benefit Of the
selfish rivairies growing out Of this
condition 81 things: but we should To;
have done So if we had pursued any
other course than that which was
adopted. that of Standing by one an
other from tho top TO the bottom Of the
ticket, all day long and in every pre-
cinct. We hope this lesson may ne
remembered, not only here but by
every Republican county organization
in this State. The closer and more
faithfully we stand by ole another,
the surer each man upon the ticket is
of his election. In this connection it
is but just To add, that very impor-
tant factor i'll our. success vas the
highly efficient manner with which
the duties Of the County Central Com

county under their nnis:rations is en-
titled to be called the Banner Repuh-
licau county OF the State. May We
never forfeit the right to that proud
distinction.
