the vote Of Ohio by Districts for members OF onges'
Al the last election from which it was made II appear
by peculiar system oil arlhmeticai calculation, that
the Wing candidates had obtained majority on the
popular vote of the State. In order 10 correct tue
a,prant presentations of the Federal press, and
to set our friends right TO The actual result OF the
election in Ohio, we copy the following correct state
ment from the Columbus Ohio Statesman
Tote of Ohio in I543 as compared ''h TINT Of 1910
Ocsra-hciraing Dsftat 10 the CoonS.
In our last, we gave the official vote for Congress
in Ohio for this year, which showed democratic
gain of sir thousand on the popul' so,e' ana put
10 flight at once the false statements IN The Federal
press that the popular in Ohio was favorable TO
their cause by from SIX to ten thousand.
We now find s more papabe view of The true
result ct that vote, in comparing u win Inc vote oil
1870 for President We ask Democrat and Federal
to read i. and say which party is to draw con- olation
from it, Let us hear no more Boosting ana Dragging
from the Coons nor their allies for 10 them it mag
nlfcent defeat. -
Mark another thing, and call the attention of oil
those who may possibly have been deceived by the alb
squa,ulaors cry OF gtrynoncT, that IL oil these DIS
tr,cs out of IL gave HARRISON minority IN lo40 -
The Democrats gave these Coons l. DISTRICTS and all oil
them but one of decisive Tajorties, and took nine to
themselves two of which had less than 100 ma ory in
1880; yet: We have seen the whole country coh7used,
and treason and revelation staring US IN the lace, ana
the cry Of gerrymander sounded on every hiii anu
Just as though Wing districts could be made out OF
d. mocra,ic counties We desire this matter held up
to the people everywhere that the Wings OF OHIO may
be properly exposed for their shameless ialsehoocs and
wicked treason against the Government
The Coons had twelve OF the congressional districts,
nv the vote of 1910 and the Democrats nine, yet with
all our divisions the result is trerc Democrats elected
to Congress TO nizc Coons And this IS called wing
victory because they elected u member or two 10 The
HOUSE, in the State Legislature, on local and county
seat questions What Clay victory IS 'h's, indeed
and what defeat is il 10 Van Buren, Here are the
votes. let each one make his own DEDUCTIONS from
them, and, if any one draw CLAY ons'laiion,
he must have plenty Of COLOGNE WATER at his com
maud.
Three or four districts are especially worthy of re-
mark In the !ist Uhe Huron) district, every county,
four in number gave Harrison majority, aud united
1900 majority in ALL in 1870. In 1c43, a Democrat,
who avowed himself for Van Buren the day of his
nomination. and the district convention which nom'na-
ted him. also nominated delegate 10 the National
Convention and instructed that delegate to vote tor
Mr. Van Buren,, and the result IS Democratic maJo'
rity of 49,! Making change against Coonery OF
SIG votes Il this district, thai Mr. Giddngs
was elsctioncerinr for brother Clay Abolitonist,
when he exposed MIR. Clay's Abolition letter. let
the r. suit of elections is referred I, as evidence OF
the unpopuarity of Nj Van Buren and his friends
And how is the resul in the 18th (Colpm5ana) DIS
,ric,, where Mr. Van Buren, rottd for at the pre-
para;ory meetings? In 1910, That district gave
Harris IN l6l majority, and in 1913, on a bitterly
contested vote, gives Democratic majority OF o's
We will not multiply cases, but we cannot help
referring to old Hamilton, which was in o4O over'ua
by Kentucky pipe-ayers, and domestic ones from
Greene county, &c, and now gives Democratic ma

We refer II this merely as an answer TO some most "of-
thy remarks that have been made since The elections
Gaze thing is also worthy of remark, perhaps, IN 1is
connection AT no time place did the friends OF Mr.
Van Buren, breathe dlsres oectul word towards sn
