INnTYInIAL VS.. PARTY.

XNTHILE there is no doubt but that united Repub-
w hcan party may reasonably count upon success
at the polls in November, there is equally no doubt
but that the enhancement Of individual interests at
the Of those Of the party will inevitably lead
to defeat.
II there are any. in this or any other State who
would place their own interests above those Of the
party they would do well reflect that if their own
advancement is TO be Within by virtue Of a dom-
nant party they are in The same as the who
would lift himself by lis own boot straps and will
have nothing, except themselves, upon which to exert
their energy.
Expressed then in its grossest terms and purely as
matter Of self-nterest, the advancement Of the in
dividua whether expressed in terms of political
preferment or the beterment Of State nation will
depend in lna analysis, upon the success of the Re
publican party. II behooves, then each individual
Republican TO put forth his best efforts to maintain
and strengthen the party organization since his own
interests and those OF the party are identical
