crushed. All the States OF the Union
we're restored TO the proper places,
slavery wiped away, al the citizens
Of all the States made free and equal,
the faith Of the nation preserved, and
q practical, if not an absolute return to
specie payments secured. All this and
more. What more could q people
aski What more could q party ac-
cOmplishi
We beg to congratulate you, and
the whole country is TO be cOngratu-
lated, upon the adjournment Of Con-
gress. Our crops have been good for
several years. 1t is not q lack Of the
yields from the earth that produces our
hard times and the attendant nervous
anxiety Of our people. With the ad-
journment we shall now have rest from
the dangerous aud disturbing legisla-
ton attempted by the majority in the
lower House Of Congress, persisted in
from the beginning to the close Of the
session. Congress that has piled up
expenditures, and cut down the rev.
enue by the millions. This is the road
to near financial ruin. Before the
Democrats got control Of the lower
House there had been 4 steady reduc-
ton Of expenditures ever since the
war. When the Democrats obtained
control they made for campaign pur-
poses = false showing Of reduction by
cutting down appropriations and doing
nothing to reduce expenses. The
large deficiency bills passed expose
their pretensionS.
The purposes Of Democratic leaders
TO rule or ruin, to Mexicanize the
country. i now only stayed by a
thoughtful and determined opposition
upon the part Of the people. The
people desire prosperity to all and
peace for all. They demand security
security without reference to Demo
cratic ascendancy. Perfected and con-
tinued Republican ascendancy secures
these wishes.
Let us, then, s Republicans of
Kentucky, do our duty, our whole
duty.
We confidently ask our friends in
each county at once to perfect their
party organizations. -a...
In the elections soon to be held let
make themselves felt in
every county, and in the COngressiOn-
al race leave no stone unturned in each
district in the State 10 increase our
vote and send the number Of Repub-
hcan Representatives that our strength
entities US to send.
No more Democratic Representa-
tives for Republican constituents. See
to it that each Democratic district
must look to its own affairs. If they
90 into another district with their
speakers, money and votes, let us cap
ture the one from whence they 20.
Let us keep them from capturing the
that rightfully belong to US.
We have the strength TO keep them
busy in all. This can be done. It
can only be done by close organization,
vigilance and active work. Tbs ne
cessities Of the country are great in this
hour. They appeal to your patriot
ism.
We trust that it may never be re-
corded against the Republicans of
Kentucky, who have stood so nobly
by their principles in the past, that
they have now deserted them in this
hour Of need; but may It be recorded
that by their active efforts and vigor-
Gus organization they have carried the
Gag Of their party to victory in the
very strOugholds Of their enemies.
This is our duty. Not in our dis
trict, but in each district. Not in one
county or precinct. but in each county
and precinct. Not BY one man or set
Of men, but by every man and set Of
men every Republican, every friend
Of good government, every lover Of
equal and exact justice. Shall we be
found wanting, or shall we, in perfect
alignment with our friends of other
States move forward and once more,
and securely, plant the banner of Re,
publicanism upon the walls of the Ma
tional Capital. Respectfully,
Eli Fl. murray, Chairman.
