The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1884-06-11

Political conditions are cnangeo
since the accession of the Repubh-
can party to power. The mighty Is.
sues of struggling freedom and
bleeding humanity which convulssd
the continent and aroused the Re-
public, rallied, united and inspired
the forces of patriotism and the for.
ces of humanity in one consolidated
phalanx. These great issues have
ceased their contentious. The sub
ordinate issues resulting thereirom
are settled and buried away with
the dead issues of the past. The
arms of the solid south are against
us. Not an electoral gun can be ex-
pected from that section. Ii tn
umph come, the Republican states
of the north must furnish the con-
ouering battalions from the farm,
the anvil, the loom from the mine,
the workshop and the desk; from
the hut OF the trapper on the snowy
Sierra from the hut OF the hsher-
man on the banks of the HUDSON,
the Republican states must furnlsn
these conquering battalions II tn
umph come. Does not sound pollt-
ical wisdom dictate and demand that
a leader shall be given to them
whom our people will follow, not as
conscripts advancing by 1unerai
marches to certain defeat, but a
grand civic hero, whom they Will
follow with all the enthusiasm OF
volunteers, as they sweep on and on
ward to certain victory? [Cheers.I
