| the United States is the concern of the who'll
| people, and must be secured at all hazard
| to every citizen, in every part of the Re

=; if necessary, that the equal protection of tn
| laws and the equal enjoyment of the suffrag
, shall not fail or be abridged in any wa

| last fall to the willful suppression of sth
| ballot, can not be looked to for the enforce

| and the hope of the friends of equal law
and equal suffrage is in the Republican pa
| ty which pledges itself to wage the contes
| to a successful end
| We want such legislation as will harmonic
the relations of labor and capital and prt
! mote the welfare of the people; protect an
| foster the industries of the State. We favo
