LET THE WORK COMMENCE IN
EARNEST.

But one month remains, till the peo-
pie of Wisconsin be called upon to
choose State officers for the next two
years. This short time should be de-
voted to proper efr secure VIC
tory of the Repub. t. ,ket. Short
as is the time, it is sufficiently long to
do this, if all Republicans improve it to
the best advantage. Victory never
comes without effort; it will not come if
our friends ley on their oars and drift;
but if We all pull together as we are
able to pull, and as it Is our duty to pull,
and as it is our duty to pull, the Repub-
lican ticket cannot be beaten. No bet
ter ticket has ever been presented for
the suffrages of our people, than that
put into the field in September. 1t has
stood the test of criticism and the Bit
terest opponent cannot phase it in the
least. The candidates are pure and up
right men; they have the confidence of
the people in high degree; they are
known to be capable, honest and faith
full; they will administer the affairs of
State with prudence and economy; the
best interests of the people will be pro-
tected by them, and their election will
prove an honor to our intelligence, and
add brilliancy to the already noble record
the Republicans have made in Wiscon-
sin. Feeling thus, we cannot too strong
ly urge our friends to organize at once
and work earnestly and efficiently, from
now till election is over, for the success
of this unusually excellent ticket. Let
every section of the State, every school
district be thoroughly and intelligently
canvassed, and the issues involved be
fairly and squarely presented to the
masses and we have no fear as to the re-
suit T he history of the two parties be-
tween whom the electors will have to
choose as it is recorded in their respec-
tive administrations in the commonwealth
is history which records that Repub-
licanism is but another name for frugal,
economical government, and that Demo
cracy is the synonym either of plain and
unblushing extravaganza and corrup-
ton, or of ineficiency, masquerading in
the garments of reform.
This is sometimes spoken of as the off
year in politics. There should be no off
year in Wisconsin, that should endanger
the success of our ticket. No Repubh-
can need be reminded that there are
matters of grave Importance involved in
the coming election. It is always i'm
portant that Republcanism prevail.
Good government; an economical adj
ministration; integrity in all depart
ments, depend largely upon it. In
ough reform and frugality in the man
agement of State affairs. Democratic
rule in Wisconsin has heretofore shown
the reverse of this; and there is no
promise of better things in the future.
Republicans owe it to themselves to
elect their State ticket, and to secure a
large majority in both branches of the
Legislature. They have the votes to do
it, if they come to the polls. The effort
should be to bring them out. To secure
this, it will require organization and
effort. To Republicans, ''there should
be no such word as fail, - and there will
be no failure if they make the effort
their cause deserves, and which they
are capable of doing. Improve the
brief time intervening between the pres
ent and the day of election to the best
possible advantage, in preparing for the
great contest, and in work calculated to
insure Republican success.-iState Jour
