organize IS the word.

In nearly every county in this State,
and all over the country, we see by our
exchanges that the word ''organize," is
the Republicans key note for coming
campaigns. In this city they are form

interchange Of opinions, and are constant
" strengthening their broken lines. They
are to day the best organised party IN the
county. No election ever finds them dis
organized, no matter what their personal
differences are they always present asol-
id front to their opponents, and this Is
the great secret of ther success. Here Is
