II commend these homely words Of
MIR. Lincoln to the young men of the
country. Such organizations as he adj

political contest which is now upon us~
They will not only inspire the young
men, but will cheer the hearts of the
old guards of the Republican party.

first voters of this country to start in 10

much is involved. and where 30 many n-
terests are at stake. 1t is a year., too
when old party divisions count for liz.
when men of all parties are united
in the common object to save the conn-

from degradation.
