plainly that no republican can doubt

now the duty, and will be the pleasure
Of every loyal republican to do his ut.

Oh Harrison and Reid. Every con-
sderation, not only OF party loyalty
but of true Amerlcanism, demands
the hearty cooperation Of all
republicans in the accomplish
ment of this result. The administers.
ton of President Harrison furnishes its
