OUR PROSPECTS.

OUR PROSPECTS.
In view Of the Elections which have
taken place within the last eight week.
the Democracy ofthe country have every
reason to look with confidence to ,ri
umphant victory in the coming Na,iona
contest.
With one single exception, those State
which have hitherto been Democratic
have shown in the recent elections al
augmented Democratic strength.
In several Of the States, which hav,
heretofore given wing majori,ies, Dcmoc
racy either entirely extinguished thes,
majorlties, or made most signal inroad
upon them. .a@ '..a..
In the State Of Ohio, where we ha;
expected tho wing candidate for Cover
nor to have been elected by at least 20
900, majority, the vote has been so close
as TO make it impossible yet to say who
has been elected.
The signal victory achieved by the
Democracy Of that State, is particularly
grateful to the feelings Of the friends Of
the gallant Cass.
The evidences thus afforded to him, Of
their attachment to the cause, which he
has so long and so nobly defended, ano
Of which he is now the chosen leader
will be dear to the heart Of him who was
identified with the early history Of thai
State, and who has watched with pater.
nal anxiety even her interests and her
welfare.
GEORGIA has nobly sustained the De-
mocratic cause, and on Tuesday next,
will tell tale long TO be rendered By
the arrogant, Federalists who dare to
claim her as theirs.
We mi ght go on with the enumeration,
but every one knows it by heart. Never
were our prospects more na!,ering; we
have lately perused u letter from scr.
ling Democrat, now in the City Of Wash
ington, addressed to distinguished in
dividual Of this city, by whose kindness
we are permitted to make the following
extracts.
"There arc strong hopes Of carryin g
Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Ma
ryland, Ohio, Georgia., Tennessee and
Florida. Georgia shows, on the recent
poll for Congress, democratic popular
majority, Of 1900, and it will be increased
in November. In New Jersey, an actual
poll Of the Slate, shows certain demo-
cratic majority as large as CIays majority
in 1914, and the party in Connecticut
say, the "frec soil' or :'loose dirtn party =.
comes almost entirely from the wing par
ty, and that they can and will carry the
State for Cass and Butler. In Delaware,
the Democrats say they shall! carry it.
and | think so myself: Maryland is Civ
ing way very fast, and think the chances
are in our favor.
| think the general result, need not now
be oubted; for believe it q settled thing,
that Cass and Butler, will be chosen Pres
ident and Vice President, by very large
majority. Recent developments justify the
hope, that even North Carolina, will 20
for Cass and Butler. Every day shows
the growing strength Of the ticket, and
the weakness Of a party without princi-
pie, exerting itself to elect to the hig hest
civil office, a man who is wholly unfit
and incapable for the position.
| trust, the whole Northwest, will
stand as an unit in this election, and al
all times. When it does, and not until
then, will her interests and her public
men be respected.
Blu: this need not be repeated to you,
who see and feel its full force. The
votes Of the western States, are dearer
to Gen. Cass, than those Of any other
section Of the Union, and l hope they
may not any Of them, be withheld now.
