Empire State is aroused from centre to cir

The republicans are organized, aggressive,
sanguine, flushed with their Western victories.
They have the enemy on the run, and the I'd of

Well informed republicans predict victory

10000. If the republicans do not get over
confident and reckless the battle will surely
be ours.
