Yes, exert yourselves within the
party organization. If you are not in
side of it, you ought to be; and it is
your own fault that you are an out
slider. Don't be too good to take
counsel of the Democratic workers
the men who do your work for you and
save to you the many blessings which
result from good government. Don't
stand apart from your Democratic
brethren and then complain of what
they do, but take hand in the party

which you claim to belong-and aid in
making it just what it ought to be-
