4 The Ohio state journal
We cannot pemit--sVen in our moments OF
Irs;o;cing over The result in this Stase--the
fset 10 escape that no small share Of the vic
tory ought properly to be attributed TO the
abie. gallant and unWavering support which
the Ohio State Journal. the respected and inhu'
eptial central organ Of the conservative men OF
/ Ohio. has given TO the ticket. From the start, !
The Journal has occupied the first position 10 |
the State. as an expert and gallant advocate OF
the Reuublcan cause. II fitreceiyed blow, Il /
paid il back with interest, and il has managed
with great adroilness and ability to keep its
adversary, the Statesman, continually oa the
defensive, The conservative Republican party
are greatly indebted to the Journal for ats able
support. Il has fought the good fight, and it
has kept the faith : And We sincerely hope
that the Republicans OF the. Legislature, and
Of the State. will show their appreciation Of its
services, by hesping upon 1t all the material
aid which il is in their power 10 bestow, In
the days Of our prOsperity,le. us remember the
sources from whence our prosperity came

We are modest, very modest, and such praise
from so high source makes US blush. We
!, dare not arrogaLe TO our efforts all the credit
that the psrtialily Of our friends Of the GsZette
have thus ascribed to US. We can, however,
with a clear, conscience, ,reciprocate the kindness,
and commend TO the Republicans of this State
the manly and able course Of the Gazette during
the entire campaign. We know that threats OF
withdrawal of patronage, and of pecuniary loss
were held out to deter il from the support of
, Chase and the Republican ticket. The strong
, current Of feeling among business men, mer'
chan Is and traders in that emporium has been

{ Cincinnati, it was said, received its lie blood
from the slave State. Such cowaldly views
were and are rife among the very men who
complain the lou lest OF The wretched laws OF
our State, and who call for a reform al the
3 coming Legislature. To stand up against
= them, and 10 advocate. with bold manly front
the election Of Salmon P. Chase at the head Of

u this stand, and now il mas the consciousness Of
d having done its duty in the hour Of peril and ol
J. trial. For its course it has our thanks, and the
