pices of the Republican League Of YER
mont by mass meeting to be held at
Burlington Thursday, July 26. The Elk.
ecutiYe committee of the State League
have issued the following call for the
meeting:
ITO the Republicans of Vermont
The Republican National Convention
has chosen the standard bearers and
adopted the platform for the campaign
of 1888. The re, nit is received with the
greatest enthusiasm everywhere, and is
especially CRAFTY ing to the Republicans
Of our Green Mountain State. The can
dIdates are tried and true citizens and
Statesmen whose leadership will inspire
the party and command the respect and
support Of every thoughtful American
who believes in promoting American
interests. The platform is sound,
patriotic exposition of progressive Re-
publicanism. 1t means protection not
only to American industries and Amer
lean workmen, but as well to the ballot,
to our homes and to our flag. On this
platform and with Harrison and Morton
as our standard bearers, we will wage
such another victory as was given our
leaders honored grandsire in 1910. We
confidently commend to the people of
this 5 ate the platform of our State con-
vention, which speaks on the right side
Of every question of State policy before
our people, and its candidates, Dilling-
ham and Woodbury.. SUCH a platform
and such candidates are sure pledges
that the Republicans of Vermont will
lead, as they have heretofore, in good
government, economy of administration
in education and temperance. The is
sues are distinct. DO we prefer the in
terests of Europe or those of America
The pauper labor of the Old World or
the free workmen of thisP The tame
surrender of our national rights or the
defence Of our oountry's honor? The
suppression Of the ballot or free vote
and a fair COUNT The red handanna or
the American flag? Upon these ques-
tons our delegation at Chicago prom
Uses the convention majority of 30, 600
for the Republican standard bearers,
Ought we not to do even better. In the
nomination of Harrison and Morton
Vermont welded an influence dispro-
portionate to her size, and in their cleo
ton she will again lead the way with
the promised majority in September
next. Let us show the Democracy that
| the more we see of their PRINCIPLES and
their administration the less we like
them.
The Republicans of Vermont will
hold grand mass ratification meeting
under the auspices of the Republican
League at Burlington, Thursday, the
26th day of July. Speakers of national
reputation will address the meeting, and
it is proposed in every way to make it
the most notable political gathering ever
held in this State, Low rates of trans
portation have been secured from all
parts of the State and special excursion
trains will be run to and from Burlng-
ton on the day of the meeting. Full
particulars will be announced later
through the press. Let us have gem
eral attendance of Republicans from
every town ip Tho State. Let every
HeHHhlioRn club come en- nlGs$e with its
Complete organization. The freemen
OF the State, irrespective of party, are
cordially invited to attend. Radfield
