ACSOTy SuEcs
The canvass now being made BY Gov
ernor Chase in this State, is one of the
most glorious and important in our history.
Wherever he goes the people welcome him
with open arms, and invitations continue to
pour in upon the Central Committee from
nearly every county in the State for Gov
ernor Chase "to come here aud speak,
Inc people want to see him, want to hear
MN. and We won't take no for answer
such Is the tenor of the invitations which
daily come from Republicans in all parts of
Ohio. 1t is needless for us to say that
however gratifying it might be TO Govern
or Chase 10 comply with the wishes ex-
pressed by his fellow-citizens, it is simply
impossible for him to do so. His time Is
already taken up. His appointments are
all made, and he cannot add to them, nor
will he take from them.-
These are some of the gratifying eyi-
dence of the great personal popularity of
our Chief Executive among the people of
Ohio, and they will tell strongly upon the
election on the second Tuesday in October.
1t is also true that some of the warmest
friends Governor Chase now has are men
two years ago opposed his nomination,
and in some instances of men who voted
against him. These men, however, have
acknowledged their mistake, and are now
willing to atone for it by giving him their
harty and generous support. The testi-
mony is ample and cannot be gainsayed,
that Governor Chase, if not the best, is at
least among the best Governors Ohio ever
had, and it is fact equally susceptible of
proof that in this canvass, although he has
been opposed with virulence approaching
to demonism by the press and demagogues
of the party, no charge has been brought
against his administration that was, and is
not, He. He has been so pure in his
great office, that the hounds of party can
find nothing corrupt or wrong in his Ad-
ministration with which to appease their
depraved appetites, and keep silent the
yelping of the small dogs who are greedy
and ravenous foi prey, and therefore they
have been forced to resort to lying, to for
geries, and every sort of detraction known
in the annals of this species of crime, yet
they have been unable to injure him in the
least degree. On the contrary, we believe
that they have added to his popularity
One thing We know. that they have aroused
the somewhat dormant energies of the Re-
publicans, and they will come forth in the
full majesty of their strength on the 18th
of October, and bury Locofocoism deep in
the grave itself has made, from which
there will be no speedy nor regenerating re-
surrection,
But with all their lying and intensified
blackguardism, the opposition have not
dared to assail the private character of
our standard bearer. In all that becomes
a citizen, neighbor, and a gentleman,
Governor Chase stands above and beyond
reproach. No Governor has ever been
more popular, or is more highly respect
ed than Governor Chase by his fellcw-cit-
izens and neighbors of all parties in Co
lumbus, where he has resided for the last
two years. Nor do his detractors dare to
quest on his abilities. They are forced to
acknowledge that he is one of the great
men not only of the State, but of the
Nation; and yet they are barking at his
heels with all the venom of toothless adders,
day by day, in order to effect his over
throw and relnstate themselves in the high
places from which they were elected two
years ago for their manifold sins and trans
glessions, and to get back again to the
Capital, which, in the former years of the
Medill administration, they had literally
turned into den of thieves.
The people will not follow their advice,
or trust in either their veracity or their
moral integrity. They Will elect Salmon
P. Chase and the Republican State Ticket
by majority that will astonish even his
friends and make manifest in way unmis-
taxable that Ohio is neither to be lied nor
driven into n false position in regard to
human liberty, or the honor and welfare of
her people.-.State Journal.
