A RINGING APPEAL.
Republicans Urged to Keep the
Demoralized Bourbons
on the Run.
The National Committee Issues
a Stirring Address to
the People.

The Republican National Committee halls, in
the glorious vic cries already won, sure omen
of the greater victory that il close at ha nd
Vermont is still the star that never sets. Name
captured in 1873 ,rebukes SANDER by plurality
OF 10000, "a gain OF IL per cent OF its entire
vote. West Virginia. in place of 100 plui ality
for Hanco k, now falls below 1000, a Rel 1lican
gain OF per cen. :, VIII Oh kinules hope that the
l53 votes of Solid South may be brok n in Mo-
vember. But the result in Ohio Is revolution
and a prophecy. Only year ago Democratic
by 1850, and two years ago by $1,000 plu atty.
Ohio now gives l2,0tO plurality for the low st
Republican state candidate, and on national
issues Il, 900 for the Republ can Congr sssmen
Holding the State and local offic =, and the
whole machinery or cleo ions. the ID 'mOcrats
colonized vot rs, inn orted professional repeat
ers, and, in spite OF the most strenuous efforts
TO enforce the law aga nst them, cast many
thousand fraudulent votes. Because OF this
power they had chosen to stake all urOn that
State, declared that 10 would foreshadow the re-
suit in November and were strangely artain OF
success. They filled the air with ISLANDERS Lo-
cal issues led many voters TO disregard ma ional
questions. Against such odds the magnificent
victory Is prophecy or 10000 plurality for
Blaine and Logan in November. With the ra-
ito OF gain in other States, 1t foreshadows an
increase of 100000 in the Republic n national
vote, and the largest popular majority ever
given any candidate.
These victories show the determination of the
peo lie that, as Lincoln, Grant and Garfield were
slandered in vain, so the foremo It sta esman OF
to-day shall not be driven from the people 3
the Republican party, which was the first to re-
slst and uproot the dogma OF perpetual al
legance" To a foreign power, is chosen by the
nation to defend all rights OF American citizens
abr, ad. Tn " show that so long as the Demo-
cratic y rty rests all hope OF success upon a de-
MIA OF free suffrage in the Southern STATES It
will ask in vain the confidence IF any Stlte
where free vote is recorded by an honest count.
They show that the people will not abandon the
protection OF American industry, under which
the country has gained twice as much in twenty
years as 1t had aimed in all ts revious history
the protection of American labor. which has
hfted wages 90 per cent. higher here than in
England. The people ZEE what stagnation n
Democratic first hrm step toward free trade"
has caused within the last year. Nine months
ago, flushed with victory and Boosting of certain
success. the Democratic party mad no seceet of
it's blind adherence TO British theories of free
trade. Now. neither decetful platform nor a
dumb candidate ayails 10 check the stampede
from that party. for its voters know that pro-
lection has made TIE rewards of labor greater
here than In any other land on earth.
The National Committee appeals to the people
to max the victory DECISIVE 1t is no time tor
overconhdence or fer neglect of any prop r
effort Bare success is not enough. 1t is me
TO put an end TO the az tation by VIII CHI the
Democratic party rostrates business every four
years; to put an end TO tn ho c that the nation
can be ruled by shot-guns in sixteen tates and
frauds in two: TO put an end To the vii ncation
of the foremost champions Of American ideas
by men who do not dare to meet vital issues of
national policy: to make the Irincip pro-

only triumphant, but so Overwhelmingly tri-
umphant that the splendid prosp rity which
they promote shall not a1ain be Interrupted by

by any nation Is the work OF the Republican
party. lt + SITS with you. Republicans of the
nation, to carry forward the work which you
