instruction, encouragement. and CONVEX
sion Of your neighboIs who had gone

Won talked to those who halt between TWO

who STAYED at home in 1879 and 1881 and

Just the State debt!
III you have not as yet engaged in the
good work OF serving your country by
lending your assistance to the cause OF good
government, surely you can now begin
that good work. Ii you are in earnest,
you will lose not another day before enlist
ing for the four weeks which stand be-
tween now and the day OF election. You
cannot afford to allow Virginia to fall again
into the hands Of the partisans who two
years ago came TO Richmond pledged to
support all caucus schemes, good or bad.

New York has n Democratic Governor
elected by nearly two hundred thousand
majority, who reminds you that it is your
duty to support the party of SEYMOUR and

to believe that the Old Dominion

victory was about to crown that party with |
the presidency.

Louisiana. Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Texas-all these States watch with pro-
found anxiety the movements upon the
political chess-board of this honored old
State. 1t is for you to disappoint their
hopes or to realize their fears. 1t is for
you to elect Legislature, the mere Tact OF
whose election this year may possibly turn
the scale next year in favor OF the candi-
date of the National Democratic party for
President Of the United States.
Forty centuries look down upon you
from those pyramids" said NAPOLEON to
his soldiers when in Egypt. More than
forty States look down upon you, We true.
