ask you to bear to your people my
thanks. l ask you to accept my con-
gratulations On the success of the fight
we have fought together, and I bid you
those of you who are victorious-to
endeavor, evea by yielding some of
your rights if necessary, to cease idle
and puerlle debating over unessential
points. Recollect that the unity Of the
party in the counties themselves is
necessary for the well-being of the
party in the State, and for good govern

Get together. Put your shoulders to
the wheel and we will move the old
State upward and onward to glorious
future of peace and prosperity, which l
feel can be achieved if our people will
recollect that the cardinal principle of
good government is self government,
and that with self governments attained
the censure for its mismanagement
must be laid on the governing power
the people themselves.
thank you for your attention.
