 extremely difficult and the promise of

The operating forces for che mining proper, when it gets going, will be compaTa. lively trihiug.

We commend the efficient manage

institutions oil The stale and endorse
the effort lo remove from their ad

intrigue aud spotls. While favorlug
the most rigid economy IN the aamiu-

We declare ourselves in favor OF

Under the primary election law
our party candidates were nominal
ed by "a direct vote on June 9Th and
we hereby declare our fealty 10 and
pledge our support To the candidates
tnus chosen by the majority.
The principle AT the foundation OF
The PRIMARY election law is thai every
member OF a political party shall have
an equal right with every other mem
per 10 assist IN naming The candidate
o( his pa~ty for every Office from that
of Unittd States senator to the small
esL county office.
Under that aw The majority Of the
republican voters Of this state who
pal ticipa,ed in The primary election
on June 9th, named full list Of can
didatts for state and congressional
offices, including party candidate for
Uniteu States senator.

Let All republicans accept it loyalty

united and let Us go forward to veto

when the issues were submitted al the
primary. Henceforth, let the party
be united and present an unbrokcn

over half century has proven tha,
the administration OF the republicans
party has always been accompanied by
prosperity and progress, while the eS-
periments of the democratic party
have brought disaster and ruin.
We have no fear but what every 10y
at republican will cheerfnlly accep

dered by his party primary, and tha,
the differences within the party will
he forgotten AS we march TO victory
against our common enemy.
