Never In the history of the State, and perhaps ofthe nation, has there been such a fierce , mid unequal warfare made against a successful party. We onteredupon the ettmptUgn against the tin’ted Democracy, flushed with the succe-K of 1570. ami strengthened by a considerable disaffection in our own ranks, which tseeim-d to from tis even the chances of a success. But confident of the justice of our eau.-e, and animated by our triumph in the past, we- entered upon the canYass with a determination to wrest victory from our opponents if it could be accomplished by hard work, thorough organization and devotion to the gloriousprinciples of our party. We present as the substantial fruits of -viot«ry, : a -legislature, Republican in both branchesby adecided majority, which gives assurance.of ourcontiol of the Stateaml the return of Oliver P. Morton to the senate of the United States. I'he election of our Congress-men-at-Large, the true index of our party strength, and a proof that Indiana is undoubtedly Republican.

Let me urge upon o-ir county committees and the Republicans of Indiana to preserve and perfect their organization, in order to aehei ve this last and crowning vi'‘j 01 . y and triumph. Let it be the aim of the counties which made a good recordon Tuesday’ last to improve on it in Novemlicf, and let the counties which, under adverse circumstances, lost ground or sustain-: e-d disaster, nerve themselves to regain it. Let us gain such a victory as will I make Indiana up longer a doubtful State. “Jony.W:-F-ostek, Chairman Riiiubliean State Committee.” — — ,
