THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION - . ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY AUGUST 26 1884. TWELVE PAGES. BOLD BEN- BUTLER. v???srfHl: ???^FULLY BOLTS. Tbs Hepubllcan Party Arraigned and tie Democrats Cessurcd-n# Accepts the Greenback and Anti-Monopoly Nomination and Stands for the Prestdoaor. Tlio following is the letter of General But ler, which ii given to the associated press to day. It is dated Lowoll, Massachusetts: To nr Constituent*: in compliance with oft repeated and anxious inquiries, I hasten to rive ??????count of my stewardship of the political Inter- charged. They were four: L Hostility to all monopolies in commerce, in dustries midlands. 2. The preservation of the natioual legal tender Currency ol the people, constitutionally Issued by Congress. 3. The needs of all men and women who labor fa the production of wealth, to be protected against tho encroachments of those who absorb and consume without prodnclng. 4. Tho necessity for reform and correction of abuses in government, so that Jts pressure on tho people would be made aa light aa possible; its ad ministration effective, to guard the rights of Amer ican citizens at home and abroad; to make public aervant* individual or incorporate, subservient to the use and will of the people only, so as to restore the prosperity of the country, with equal rights, o?all peopfe 1 *??? Cqual pQWer *???equil privileges Thcso latter were specially confided to mo by the democratic masses of MiL'isacliusetts, to whom alone I owe grateful duty for high consideration and support during years of effort in the reform of government, but to uo democratic orga~~??? whatever. They were to lx- presented to tlonal democratic convention for Jts acceptance and adoption aa the axioms of democratic rulo as practiced by our father*. I bad intended if thcso great principles of gov ernment, by tho people aud for the people ouly. bad been cordially received, ahd earnestly aud tor the suffrages of t... administer and carry forward the necessary mess- ures; in which ease I shot-???-* u itaac' ??? nets. That I should be placed in that high position I knew was the wJlf of the 150,000 voters of that commonwealth, who had expressed their confi dence by their votes so unanimously that no man from that state conk! have been a delegate to that convention If ho had dared to breathe aloud that he was opposed either te the principles I repre sented of to my personal candidature. In thus doing the will of those who sent me, I sought none of the honors of tho convention, aud Jntcrfe cd with none of its proceeding, save to serve as a member of its committee on what should have been its platform of principles, and not of expedients. Owing to an accident without fault of anyone, I reached that committee ouly after it had been some hours in session, iirnl then found by solemn vote twice over, that it was equally divided upon tho question whether in wising the moneys neccs- aary for an honest aud economical carrying on of tho government, the deinocmtlc party would pledge itself to tax the people in such manner only ns would best promote American enterprise ana American industry, and foster and cherish Amer ican labor. This division was shown byjrcpoatcd votes of eighteen states to eighteen states in the c hoice as chairman, one who should rep resent the afilmative or m-gativo of that vital proposition. The committee failing to elect a chairman, remained under its temporary chair man (luting tho remainder of its deliberations, with the understanding that after a tariff plank should bo agreed upon, cither one or the other of tho two candidates, Messrs. Convene, of Ohio, or -Morrison, ol Illinois, should bo clcctcdlpcrmanont chairman and present a platform to tne conven tion, the birift plank of which should mostucarly ???ccord with his view*. To lind myself holding the controlling voto in a committee on resolutions of a democratic national convention was not a hew or untried position. I bad held that position twenty-four years before in the Charleston convention of 1800; and there 1 was * y my con vie " ??? _ ???*???* ~???' hen prepared rich was odop A Chicago lub-conuuittco of eight was chosen, and directed to prepure a tariff plank, and submit it to the committee, in that sub-committee 1 pre sented a series ol resolutions which may bo thus summarized. (Here follows a summary of his tariff resolutions demanding such revenue as Is only necessary for the expenses of the government, and that it should bo raised by tariff on imports, that tho luxuries of li/o should be taxed heavily And tho -necessities admitted free, demanding the abol ishment of the revenue tax, and declaring that the laws imposing duties for revenue should be so adjusted as best to promote American enterprise and American Industry, to cherish and foster American labor, aud uot create monopolies.??? Ed.) v On submitting these resolutions to the*ub-com- Xnlttee. tho first four articles were agreed to with- ' out a division; but the fifth, declaring the duty of the government to so lay taxes as best to promote American enterprise and American industry, and cherish and foster Amorlean labor, failed ofadop- tlou by a vote of four to four. From that hour tho canditurc ol mine in that convention bccouio to jne impossible, (ncrehegocs into detail abqut a series of reso lutions which were voted down by tho conven tion, a)l of which have been published before.??? Ed.) I have thus given a Wecttrt^'artt'ftnrff be, but ??? faithful account ol my connection with the Chicago convention and its actions on tho mat ters wnJiJi I was charged represent to it by tho national greenback labor party, tho antl-roononly orgalzatIon and the democracy of Massachusetts. l'LATFOM O.NK OF XXPED1ENTS. I will not omit tho fact that in tho platform adopted there were ccrtaiu prases used toward tho foreign l oro citizen. Ti.ere were certain honeyed Words,???over and over rc|x-*ted, in order that their repetition rpight seem iiku earnest advocacy put In favor of labor, and upon some of the topic* of ??mr platform. lint I do claim, - and submit to the Just Judgment of the people, that computing the two platforms and taking the action of the convention, every claim of the anti-monopolist, and of the natioual green back and labor men. wan no contemptuously re jected or so thoroughly smothered by platitudes which would permit any llmmclil theorist or any monopolist to subscribe to tho majority platform, * that It is most apparent on the face of the resolu- : tions that they were simply resolutions of expe dients to catch notes by indirection, deception, and illusion, not declarations of those high prin ciples which should form the basis of tho nulled - action of a great party of thu people. ?? ; [Ho then proceeds to explain bow the financial - exigencies of the war made the republican party the slave of capitalists aud monopolists who would furnish money without pay in special privilege* and protection. Therefore, he argues that tho Tepubllcau party, while cMmiug to protect labor, only protects capital, and the anti- monopolists have nothing to hope from it. It /oaten those interests that thrive on Imported and pauper labor, thus intro ducing dements into the country that taint the life blood of the people. He argues that there should be greater protection afforded to skilled labor and women aud children, kept out of the workshops, should bo given the means to enjoy their God-givtn rights through the Inatrnraen- talitics ofbJg her wages to the males and better ???education to the masses, (kd.) The country has had no experience for yearly a of them are open to criticism, yet tboee are all aids to the capitalist and land owner. ??? , Point me to one grant or act in aid of the work- 1 logman. I do nut forget the eight-hour law for government laborers aud mechanics, but there never lias been honesty and power enough in re-1 publican administration to enforce that Iswj??? J " ben in congress I introduced a bill aud ???ted i t as well as I could that congress grant aid to families of laboring men in eitioa to settle on the public lauds in tho west and make homes for the mudves, and as communities be able to pro! tect themselves against the Iudtans aud thus dis pute with the cost of the army. It slept In the proper committees of a democratic house and a republican senstc the sleep of all proposals in favor of labor that knows no waking. This bill would have begun another much need ed reform, the reduction to a skeleton ot tho regular army which is expensively useless in time ofpeace. Let congress expend half tho vast sum, thirty millions, now appropriated to tho army for ltd varied expenditures, In organizing and discipline ing the militia to be trained uuder the authority of the states, instead of tho paltry two huuclrel thousand dollars heretofore given and we shall have a military force os a reliance in every emergency, like tho trained and organized militia of Massachusetts and tho national guard of New Yofrk, the first armed bodies at the capital when in danger in *01.

In the matter of finance there is nothing to hopo from the republican, any more than from the democratic party. Tho banker* and capitalists of both iwrtics uniting together have controlled for twenty years tho financial legislation of tho na- ???on. GREENBACK REMEDY FOR FINANCIAL ILLS. Wo, the despised greeubackers, offered a remedy for all this which no reflecting, kcon-slghted busi ness man will now say would uot have boon effec tual. Myself in congress more than fifteen years ago proposed that Instead of issuing n United States bond which would bo held by capitalists only, and for the purpose of securing a bank cur rency only, congress should nrako an inter-con- vertfble bond ul a low rate of interest, to bo issued by the government, so that any man might invest in it instead of placing his money in raviujn banks or trust companies to be loaned out on margins on kiting stocks, and then lost when he called for it. The bond bearing three and sixty-five onc-liundrcdths percent interest, to be presented by fhc holder at any time to th* treas ury and legal tender* to Ihj issued for It, ana thu* tho interest to that nmount of the natioual debt accrues to the government instead of bolus paid by it from thu taxes of the people. And ???then when another bond was desired by tho in vestor, one should he issued by the government) and interest thereon begin.: .... Every financier knows that it is tho odd fifty mil lions withdrawn or put out that make* a re dundancy or scarlty of circulating medium; and is there a man who dares say now that such a bond would not have prevented the panic and desola tion to business through which we are now pass- jjigT Tho time bos come when tho greenback fa sus tained by the supreme court ns a constitutional currency against the opinions of tho paid attor ney* of every financier of tho country. The time will coine if the peoplo ol this country con get the clutch of monopoly ofits currency off its throat, when such n system ol Jinauco as I have sketched will glvefsccdom to the Industrial and business Interest* of the country from tho terrible fluotua- . . r -??? w guffer. IIS ACROSS THE ISTHMUS. Panama ship to our commerce. San Francisto has become b the products of Ara c part for distrlbut! North America which ... control. Moko this canal, aud England dominates that commerce, as she now dot* that of the western coast of Central and South America. In time of war with tho Panama canal open, England seizes It by tier linmensa nary, and from thtuco can ravage and blockade our whole Pacific coast. This rhe cannot do now, bccauso she owns no coaling station nearer than thr Sandwich is- lands, from which it will be quite mposslblo to ' f a blockading fleet. three systems of railroads acroas tho conti nent, when run iu competition And not iu collus ion, can carry our productions to the. western L??a*t cheap enough, aud in that case, at least, the :cJght will be paid to our own citizen*. Ho in peace or war we must control that canal. The republican party has deue nothing to pro tect tho interests end dignity of tho country In this behalf, aud the democracy refuse to promise even to do anything! THE PEOPLE GET NOTHING FROM THE OLD PARTIES. Experience, the bAt teacher, therefore estab lishes the fact that commerce, the Industries, the laboring men, the anti-monopolist, the groen- fcneker, the farmer cr other small producers,all of whose interests are identical, can get or hope nothing from cither or both the preseut organized parties. The republican party is bound hand and (rot to capitalized monopoly. # Tho democratic party Is governed in its conven tions by a combination of a solid south, from wheuce no laboring man. white or black, Is a dele te, and where the aristocracy of capital alone it then* of Intended actiou, before we cafl put the government in thtir bunds. Bat the farmer and the Uluring man do know that a democratic time of peace. .We a-Wknow that the democratic xnajorit) would have made a free trade tariff, con taining ell the odiou* features ol tha present war t tariff, so far aa regards It-* monstrous inequriitio, by a horizontal reduction of Urn tariff to break down very many rising and struggling Indus tries, * -and destruction of the homes of our workingmen and the home markets of ttor American producers. WLo docs not know -that the very fear .of the ac tion of the democracy iu congress has so paralys ed American entsrp:!*- and business, that mills ere everywhere closing, miue* shut up, fnrnocc* blown our, and every kind of employment so car- tailed that tha mechanic and workingmen are uot earning enough to sopport life la eornfortrso that tha farmer evski, deprived oi a home marker, and crashed dowa by discriminating gates of transpor tation, finds bis corn, wheat and wool lower than It has been within thu present generation. Gan the people therefore tru-t the machine democracy with rower, won afchlfUug, erosive, and decep tive platform r WE KNOW THE RETt ULK AN*. HOW THE MIGHTY , HAVE FALLEN.

The republican party bos granted subsidies to TBilrcadsand stsamsblr. erectad many ,**4 ax- many millions in ??? >pi aad favoring ip???ring rtren and harbors. These grants amount to a sum ~ tm the national debt. Without eriti- tfce propriety of these grants, although some 1SJ B te, ai ara, ???. rnptlons ot subnanstlully a single state of the north, which confcderi- r dominates it* platform and nominates Its can- [dates and bolds them firmly in fts-griptf elected. JrilE PEOPLE t!|F- GOVERNING CLASS. What then is the duty of the classes of men just enumerated, in the coming national clectlonf They, by numbers as well as Intelligence-tor everybody knows more than anybody???ought to bo the governing classes, under the theory of our constitution. They stand In the same social, busi- nefta and other relations to the oku* of men iu tho * 1 parties who believe they are ot right tho gov- ifug doss, and who, In fact, by the control of party and other machinery ara the governing dan, as did our fathers in tho time of the ravoin- Jou to the clergy, the oflk-luls and oflshoots of : IritUh aristocracy who claimed to b*, and be lieved they were the governing classes. DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE! Yon have tbe power to make this government your government as did your fathers. This can only be done by acting together! Be not deceived, stand by each other! Let the people unite for the good of tbe people! To prevent such union has been tbe policy of tho leaders, monopolist* of alt shades and opinions, enemies of the people, who while they Join together in fact In control of the government, claim to belong to different parties. Yen know It make* no difference to you whether one set of them or the other is In power, no burden on the people is lightened, no monopoly is crush ed. . WHClYER WINS, THE WOEKINOMAN GETS ONLY A CUESE. Whichever party carries tbe government, labor- vg men and women are permitted to enjoy only the benefits of the primeval curse: ???In the sweat of thy face shell thou eat bread." You enjoy non* of God???s blessings! Why not? You earn ??nd pAdure them all???all He vouchsafes to man, save the air w* breathe. They are yours in the sight of high Heaven! Bund together and a just share of them is your*. . . . In other lands tbe just right* of the people are onljr to be got out of tbe hands of their enemies ana rulers by tbe bayonet and the bullet. But in America as yet, thank God and your brave father*, tbe ballot, the freeman's shield and sword, Is left to you and you can If you stand together protect yourselves against all oppressive, unjust and pur chased legislation, which burdens the people and nndetmine* the fre* inttftoUoos of your country. TH Era ALLOT IN DANGER FROM THE PETTISH PARTY. How long will the precious ballot ho left to ???very freeman? * Tbe people must ast worn and assert their power, or they may lore It forever. Already the British party In this country, those who ape tbe British aristocracy, waar clothes which are Imported, largely without paying da ties, because they fed that an American mechanic cannot make cloth good enough for them; can only be waited upon by British serraaU, aad cot their whither* even. British Cubism, so as in ap pear ss un-American as prestMa; are say ing to each other: wiry should-the lower magsoines published in Boston express it: ???A low old families have **???" *??????**'-???* -*-??-* *- -???-??? tlic politics of Mi ??? drive him from the other means not by the many; by an aristocracy of birth end wealth, and not by the people. In tho late general election for members of congress In that state, 5.021 vote* only were.thrown by ail par ties In the clcctiou of a member of congress,while at tne west, where a free ballot is still in tho hands of every man. at tbe same oleetton 03,230 votes were required in tbe election of a congress- Aud this is called equal representation of the people in the government! Let every true American ponder upon thcso fig ures, ond inquire, whither Is the country drifting? If such inequalities arc possible in the bcjlnning, what will be tbe end? Let tho people ariso in their might and bring hack thegovernmeut where our revolutionary fathers placedU, ou tho founda tion of freedom, with equal rights, equal burdens, equal privileges, and equal power* to all men. HOW THE FKorLS LOST THEIR CONTROL OF THE GOV ERNMENT. Why have the people lost or forborne to exerclso tills great power? At Brat there wore two parties contending for great principles, the federal against the democratic. The one represented tbe capital ist, the monopolist, and those believing that king ly government was best, if Jt was a home govern- other. The divisions were so great that in that day there was no third party. When the federal party was in E er wc had the alien and sedition laws, and ;es appointed at midnight, and aristocratic is of cilice. Under Jefferson and Madison the peoplo held away, and called themselves the domocracy, as in fset they were; and then, republican simplicity of manner*, economy in government, and rospoct for the rights of the people were tho order of tbo Vhls state of things continued unOl the time of Jackson: In his administration a great bauklog monopoly was broken down. Then aroso only minor questions between the parties, industrial, aud economic, about which there was really not much difference. And until the question of the abolition of slavery arose, It was exceedingly difficult to distinguish tho parties by their platforms, except that In tho demo cratic platforms there was alwaj - ~ * n the resolutions of ???98. ivery question prod tic aided the monopolist!.......,??? ??? ??? ?????? parties, I have already shown. Since then, actual difference* betwe n the parties inmattar of princi ple have in fact died out. or only enough kept up to have a <11. t in?? t ion. Witness tho attempt of the convention at Chicago to make its platform ap pear to be nearly a* possible like tho rebubllcau platform on the turifl question, and yet not be tho the same. HIM MONOPOLIST ALWAYS WINS IN ELECTIONS. .... . . ??? TJie cunning of ibo monopolists and capitalists ^.back-labor and anti-monopoly parties, iu whloli has taught them that if they can ouly keep tho people of the country voting according to party line* they then can govern the country whichever pnrty prevails. Did I need evidence of this It would be In the declaration ascribed to the largest and ablest railroad kiug in the country, Mr. Gould, who is said to have testified before a committee, In substance, that when be had a democratic leg islature to manipulate he was* democrat, aud whenever a republican legislature ho wo* a^repub- Mean. That Is to say, to carry hi* measure* bo helped) elect, by his money, democrats and ro- puhlfcnns indiscriminately: but both sets of bis members were always Gould men. No monopolist cares which party wins. IIo is only anxious that tbo muulnntlnff convention of each iwrty should nominate a candidate whom he can control. liras arc the people played with and kept apart by the fetish called ???party allegiance," ever bound to the chariot wheels of tneir oppressors. LABOR NEVER WINS, AND WHY? Might wo not learn somethlug from the fate of the African negroes? In their own country each tribe had Ills fetish and they fought each other for its supremacy, aud both aide* sold tha prisoner* captured in thoM battle* to the white man as slaves. Bo the laboring man votes for his fetish, tho democratic party; and the funner votes for his fetish, the republican party, aud the result is that both are handed over a* captives to tho corruptionist* and monopolists whichever sides wins. Mark this: tho laborers and tho people .nover wJn! Let no man say that I desire tomrray ono class In till* country nxuinit another class. Not so,' I with to set all classes against the corruptionists, the plunderers aud the absorbers of other people's earnings wrongfully by bought legislation, aud speaking for the whole people I desire to array them npainst such men only. Aud if to any ft seems uifloreutly, let jiim reflect that among the common people of the country there is no politi cal bribery, corruption, or-deslre to do anything except to nave good government, under which men may c??.ni for themselves and their families a wbolcromc su1<??istt???iicc and a fair competence. Kvery convention of either party la prevented. Jf possible, from nominating any pronounced friend of the biborlug man or anti-monopolist to high office. 'Witness tho fate of Mr. Thurman, the most accomplished democratic statesman ot all, in the convention calling itself democratic at Chicago. VOTE TOGETHER IS TIIE ONLY REMEDY. What then is tbo rouiedy for theso so monstrom .rfls? How cau the peoplo, the tniodem repossess themselves of their government, t luw* to protect tbclr own interests and to redress these great wrongs and cause tbs plufiderera to disgorge their robberies from the treasury? VOTE FOR A THIRD PARTY; YOU WILL MOT LOSE YOUR VOTE. The cry has already gone forth: ???If the people put a- third candidate In the field thoso who vote for Mm will throw away their votes." Bo it The voter will do worse tlum throw away his vote if ho vote* for cither candidate of tbo monop- e rulo of vote; ho puts or keeps either in power. The same argument was used In 11148 to tho al>o- lit ion bts. that they should not vote for Van Burcu to establish free soil. And agilu the seine cry went out in 1M2 when the whig and democratic parties made tbe same platform ou tbe slavery -ucstlon to crash out the abolition party forever. ut the true hearted frve soller* stood firm; and appeared, if you please, to thyow away their votes; but though the democracy clectad their candidate with ouly four states in opposition, yet iu 1006 the free- toilers, the despised third party, elected Kromont. who was counted out by too returning boards of that day, but the whig party was destroyed. And In I860 by the third party of 1 ???02. Lincoln wa* elect ed and the democratic part) was worse than des troyed. As Its majority gravitated to treason and armed rebellion I left It theu to senr* the country as now I do. Fear nob The people will not have to wait eight years for their triumph. Kvcrything, in- ???* travels faster now, as there aro and telegraphs to distribute Intel ligence. In polities, as in everything else, there is a seed time and harvest. lit who expects to reap must not sow now, yon will not reap then; nor Is It at all certain that the seed has not been already sown, aud will fructify by your votes into a sub stantial if not complete victory at this election. THE CEQCLK???s PARTY WILL TRIUMPH. The producers, the workingmen, the greenback men aud anti-monopolists are already organised, and if men will but vote their convictions, irre spective of deluding party criea, thq people can achieve* victory now; and there is no power en earth that can prevent It. Let us then organise a ???People's Party," representing every shade of political belief that a true democrat oratruc republican, loving his couutry, loyal to herfree institutions, wishtng for her prosperity and glory, which alone can be had wheu the peo ple are prosperous, when tbe laborer is fully psid, and when there Is a fair division of the production of enterprise and labor, can or ought to hold. It seems to me certain that at worst, oven lu tho infancy of our organization, we can hold tho bal ance of power between the two old parties; so that ii we cannot wholly prevent bod and uujust legis lation, we can force them to band together to enact it, and thus show thetnaeves in form, as they ore in fact, confederated against the people. ELECT CONGRESSMEN. In many states if we exert our strength, we al ready hold the balance of power. In quite ono hundred congressional districts, less ilmu ono thousand votes will determine whether a friend of'labor and the people, or the tool of monopoly shall have a seat In congress. Let ns organise, therefore, in every district, to see to it that uo man goes to congress from any district who is not with us and of us, strong enough in moral recti tude to stand for the right* of tho peoplo ???un awed by power and uubought by gain??? ELECT STATE LEGISLATURES. Again, in balanced states.make an alliance with whichever of the othor parties will choose so to do. Minorities naturally gravltato toward each other. Uivothem some state offloers and take others to yourselves upon an agreement that both rertic* shall vote the same ticket. Be par ticular to see to it that your own friends are sent to .the state legislature*. There .are mauy states where laws are needed for the protection of tho workingmen, the farmer aud tbe merchant agninst oppressors and monopolies, and if theoo will stand together, they can get that protection lu pplte , of the monopolist, ror example, in the state of Now kork, as clsewhore, the producers and traders aud consumers need cheap transportation and competition between water-borne freight and the railroads. The laboriug men and toiling wo men want a five-ccnt-fare law for the elevated railroad. The mechanlos need a good lien law. All need a law to limit the hours oflahor. wheth er a woman tolling In a mill or standing behind a counter, or a conductor or driver standing on a car. If anybody tells yon this is class legislation, re ply to him, ???Yes. w,e know it; wo ora legislating for our da** a little while for it fs the first tfrao wc have had an opportunity. The other class has bad legislation enough to last them for a hundred years." [He concludes the letter with an address to tho democracy of Massachusetts aud to the green- he returns thftuks for their toudor ol tho nomina tion for tho presidency, and accepts it. To tho let-. ter combination of parties ho concludes as bulow. -Ed.) You will have one advantage in your candidate; you will have to spend uo tirno In defending him. Ills doings have been known to tho country for more than a quarter of a century Every act of his life has been under a microscope lighted by tho lurid fires of hate and *landrr. Ho is yet un harmed, and has no opinion to take back, uo pol icy to recaut, aud no Just charge to exputlu for what he has done either in peace or war. Of personal advantage to myself nothing can ac crue. 1 am too old to mako selfish plan* for the future: yet I hope as my last political act, If it so be, to uo some service to the people and mankind iu colling back tho aorernraent Co the purposo for which it wa* framed by our fathers, a government of the people, a government by tbo many, aud uot by the few, nor lor tho Interests of tho few. BKNJ, F. BUTLKK. I<owcll, Moss., August 12, lMH. FUSE! In framing your electoral ticket, make* fusion in ail the states with tbe supposad minority, and make it upon this theory; not that you are going to rots for the electors of any candidate opposing to your interests, not that tha friends of the other candidate ara going to vote tor yours, but agree that van will run tha same electoral ticket, pro Tided the electors who compose it aro as they ought to be, reputable man who will be bound by their houo able undertakings, which is all there is that binds the electoral college to rote In any direction; and then have U agreed that the docto ral vote of the state shall bo divided in thu clec- 1 college according to tbe number .. votes thrown for your candidate, aud the number of votes thrown for the other candi date on the same ticket. The number of votos which each candidate geta will be known with subatautiai nn-uracy long before the official coant is made. Therefore you will have every incentive to vote for yrmr candidate because the larger num ber??! votes you cast the more electoral votes will K ur candidate get, and the less will the other ve. And tboee who ore voting for the same Ibe other. Thus you will, and hold the balance of power. ORGANIZE. OrgsnJee iu every state, and present at the polls or electoral ticket, and support It with jroor votes. When the word "organise" Is used, at onee springs up to the mind tbe political machines which have been created, canetne*, conventions and delegates wbo can be bought aud sold fn the market like sheep: the contrivances by which the ^coplre enemies hove conspired to take away By that Rtord I mean nothing of that sort.
