BURLINGTON, VT, Oct. .. 1882.


Dear Sir have yours of the 9th. re-
gret that am not in a condition, this Au-
tumn, to engage in political debates and so
must decline your invitation to apeak in
the old Granite State, l hope--and indeed
l cannot doubt-that the intelligent citizens
Of your commonwealth will perceive the
prime importance ofdoing their share to keep
the law making:power of the Nation in the
hands of the party that saved it from de-
struclion, and that has without exception, so
far as | rccolect, passed all the good laws of
National importance that have been enacted,
and defeated all the bad bills that have been
defeated, in the last 90 years against the
general opposition of the representatives Of
the so-called Democratic party. To those
who know the real history of parties, as
shown in the proceedings of Congress, the
Republican party falling as think it some
times has in its duty, stands in regard to pos
tive results in the making and execution of
laws beneficial to all the States and to all the
people, far in advance of any party since the
Revolution. 1t has edyned The confidence of
the people, and it dtserges l., even in the face
of the evil things that some of the members
have done, jor1 as the world is now constln-
ted, there will tie no party that will carry on
the Government with more of good of less
evil doing than it has done. So thinking,
believe you will have the victory that great
and good cause, and Earnest Gndeavor de
serves
VIEW truly yours,
GEORGE f. EDMuNDs
