Address of the State Central Committee.


The Republican State Committee desires
to impress on the mind of every Republi-
can the great importance Of the October
Election in this state, in settling the re-
suit of the Presidential Election which
follows close after


The grand and decisive result of the
North Carolina election have had great
weight In settling that result the glorious
and overwhelming majority of 10000 in
Vermont has added materially to that
weight; and the magnificent victory i'm
Maine has also contributed largely to it; but
1T remains for Pennsylvania to,turn the
balance and bring down the scale on the
right side.


No election results in any previous
campaign have ever inspired the people
and neryed their hearts for effective ight
as have the victories won by our friends
in North Carolina, West Virginia. YER
mont, and Maine. 10 spite of defections
from our ranks and the noisy energy of
the enemy, reused to new efforts by the
treason OF the discontinued and disappoint
ed men who have left US, the result in
each OF these States shows conclusiyely
that the great heart Of the people pulsates
as truly and as firmly as ever.


Friends we must emulate their
| example. We must not lose or throw
away what they have won. The great
battle that is yet to come, is to be fought
here, and the earnest desires of our
political friends are now turned toward
Pennsylvania. Let US not disappoipt
their hopes, but prove ourselves worthy
of their confidence


No party ever yet carried Pennsylvania
In November that was beaten in October
and no party ever carried the Presidential
election that lost Pennsylvania. IF we
expect or desire to elect Grant, therefore.
we can do it only by eleeting our state
ticket In October. Upon the election OF
Hartranft, depends all that is involved in
the Presidential Election. Let no one
lay the fatterlng JUNCTION to his soul that
he can hel p to defeat Hartranft, and We,
hope to save Grant. 1t cannot be done
1t Is not In the nature Of the things that
1T should be possible to do it. We must
win the October fight, and break THROUGH
the first line Of the enemy before we can
hope to carry his second line by assault.


And success is clearly within our grasp.
Our intelligence from all parts of the state
is OF the most encouraging character.
From every county comes up the cheerful
tldInSs and promises Of better results than
we have usually attained 10 such contests.
All that is wanted to render our triumpb
compile and certain in thorough Organiza-
ton.


What you want is to see and to see no,c.
without further delay


First. That you have compete list of
all The voters In your election district


Second That every republican voter is
properly assessed or registered.


Mrd. That every one who is entitled
to 1T is properly nataralized and


Fourth. That every republican voter is
seen in time and urged to attend the election


With these details fully attended to
success is certain.


Remember that full vote is RepubG-
can victory.


The last day on which assessments for
voting can be made is Saturday Septem-
ber %, Every one not now on the list
ofvoters must go in person and be assessed.


Ouly three weeks remain until the elec-
tion. 1t is a short period in which to
work, bat long enough if properly used.
Rouse up, therefore, aud go to work
earnestly, and make sure Of the result
which your hearts so earnestly long for.


We entreat you, your election district
is not yet organized, to 90 at this essential
work at once, without one moments DELAY.
There is not an hour to be lost. Every
moment now is precious


We have the utmost confidence in the
ability of our people to via. We feel "a
strong faith that they mean to succeed
aud that they will. But while we trust
in God let US keep our powder dry, and
we shall, when the struggle is over, be
able to congratulate ourselves, not only
that our trust was sure, but that we made
good use of all our opportunities.
