on the Administration, and insists that

II the Democracy Of Ohio condemns
one act OF the Administration, they mus,
condemn every act. Ifit was wrong for

The truth is that the Democratic or
lganizations, both in New York and Ohio
are controlled by the meuncst Of the old
Breckin idge cabal. They were princi-

These are the men who control the
organizations of Ohio, New York and
other Northern States, and, after endeav-

down their livesi at the Treasury-box,
paying in their hard earned gold, and la
