I'VE point with pleasure to the
great prosperity that has followed the
enactment of our present tariff law,
and commend the party for the enact

I'VE further pledge ourselves to
the present state chairman to do all
in our power to assist him in elect
ing full republican ticket from gov
ernor down, and assisting our con-
gressional chairman in electing con-
gressman from the Third congrest
