Let IL Not go by Default.

While under the apportiOnment Of
the last legislature the Tenth con-
gressional district was given an es'
timated republican majority of 3d.
900 based on the democratic high
water vote of 80, and which was
rolled up to $4,000 at the last cleo
ton, the democrats should not de-
spair. nor permit the election to &C
by default. They should preserve
the democratic organization of the
Tenth district, nominate good can
didate and make a fight. They
should reduce the ma jority of '94.
and show that they are still in it,
even with great odds against them.
Good principles will triumph in the
end no matter how disheartening the
outlook at first.
