to control the record; but in the house they
have now male a record, by no means as full
and complete as If they had controlled the for
tunes oil their measures elsewhere. You may
not agree To many things that were said, and
you may be dissatisfied that some measures were
delayed and others lost in the house, yet do you
not choose TO go forward and complete the
worn now well begun, ratlies than to SO back
To the practices OF preceding years? Would
ycn venture to repeat the party rule of the past
year during that period il may he that YOU
would not now be in the contracting folds of
hard times. DO You hesitate to trust Coy.

Are you quite sure that these hard times were
inevitable2 II not, then there is great res
