It is not to be won by stratagem, because in that particular field the enpmy is without an equal. This contest is to be waged, tho victory is to be won by assault and not by any occult methods. This victory is not to be won by Republican votes it is not to be won by chasing that will-o'-the-wisp, the independent Republican voters. It is to be won by Democratic votes cheers it is to be won by a man that can command the votes of Democrats and not of Republicans. Cheers.
