To tie Ed0Or 0ftie Register;
SIR am in favor of an early, active
and aggressive campaign, especially in
the agricultural districts. Our farmers
are in bad condition financially and
with no prospect of relief under a Re
publican administration. BY circula-
ting tariff literature freely among the
farmers, and sending good speakers
among them, and conducting an active.
aggressive campaign, think large gains
can be made. | think our people in the
towns and cities are all right, and all
we will have to do will be to hold them
in line. The fighting should be done
principally in the country districts.
There is some bad feeling among the
Republicans over some of the Federal
appointments in this county, but it
wont do To count much on this, as they
generally fall in line on election day.
Yours truly,

SE:-To insure success 10 the Dem

subsequent campaigns, l would Sug-
ceSt. That there should Doe a thorough
and systematic organization, and that
the following would perhaps be the
most effective plan: Organize thor
oughly. by counties and districts. Have
committee in each magisterial dis
trict. the chairman of which should be
a member of the County Committee,
with one member from each school dis
trict. whose duty 10 should be 20 enroll
the voters, indicating their politics, and
make report OF the information thus OBJ
tanned tO stated meetings 10 be held by
the District Committee. BY this method
the districts can bc thoroughly worked.
Then these committees. through their
chairmen. should report all matters re-
latiug 90 the political situation of their
respective districts TO meetings TO be
hely by the County Committee; the
County Committee to act i'm conjunction
with the State Committee, and take
charge of and conduct the campaign
lA INN NNAMNfs ~ NiNlilN ~ illA AAAoN
If organized according to this plan
the Democracy of this State would
Dee able % conduct its campaigns TO a
successful termination. We should
have good speakers TO attend these
meetings and instruct the people upon
the principles of Democracy. There
are. doubtless, many citizens scattered
over the rural districts of this State
hostile Co the principles upon which
their own happiness depends, who if
properly instructed would become ar
dent supporters.
We should earnestly contend for the
purity of the ballot and get the people TO
realize that every attempt TO corrupt
the ballot is menace 10 American
liberty. and should be Scorned by every
lover of freedom.

instructions 10 the Executive Commit
tees of each county of the State to or
ganiZe clubs in every district in their
