vote as they think for Justice and right,
then the Republican ticket will be carried
by 10000 majority. II 20 elected, my first
purpose will be to give that protection to

AIRY next, When you ineugurate your Cover
nor, l believe y0u will establish peace and
order in this State.
l believe in tho financial policy Of this
State, and that it will restore prosperity. It
has already been highly successfuE Taxes
have been reduced, and with the renewal
of these burdens the light Of better days
will be seen. With peace, order ana good
feeling restored, this State will commence
ne other State in the Union. OK other things
may not be expected to speak now. With
peace and order restored, labor aud capital
harmonized, the government economical
~ and honestly administered, industry
and frugality Encouraged, believe such per-
secuti0ns as We have known will cease.
That we shall be able to offer such in
ducements that capital from other places
will seek us, hardy and thrifty immigrants
flock to our shores, the fertile lands now
given back to weeds again laugh with
harvests, now enterprises stir the people
from their lethargy, former schemes bring
honest profits to their projectors trade
make our cities buster marte than they
ever were and now towns spring up in
rivalry.

ination. l know it is not given me for any
special merit, but know it means your be-
lief in, and shows your desire for the sue
cess of the Republican party, and am con-
fident that it will succeed. Whatever I
have, Whatever ! can give, my time. my
abilities, whatsoever they arc, my all, de-
vote to its service.
