A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.
It is now time that Democrats everywhere, should begin the work of organizing and getting ready for the coming campaign. They should immediately form active working clubs in each election district in the county and State. Brethren of the same political faith form a close union with each other, and actively engage in the great contest that must be decided at the polls next October. What we want more than anything else, is organization, and unless we have it, close vigorous, and active, we cannot hope to succeed. We believe there is a large Democratic majority in Pennsylvania, but it cannot be made effective at the polls without a well organized effort to bring it out. In no other manner can we counteract the powerful organization of the Union League, which spreads over the country like a great net work. The campaign will open in July, and before that time our forces must be on hand to take an active part in the contest. Organize then, everywhere, and that without delay.
