ENBLtItNE COMMIT,
CoLUMBUs, o., Nov. p, 1865
The publication Of the official returns of
the vote polcd at the State Election, held
on the 10th of October, makes it appropri-
ate that the State Executive Committee
should address their fellow Democrats of
Ohio, and congratulate them upnr the re-
suit Of their active cxertionS, and the sub
gtantial success achieved in the contest
The total vote Of 1873. Coz is the largest ever
east by the Democracy at a guberEatorill
election, being 6,0au more than were pOlled
after the gallant canvass of 1858, AMI H.
900 more than the vote at the State election
last year. The Democratic gain on the
fraudulent majority for the Republican can
didate two years ago is over 10000; upon
the majority of $1,000, at the State election
last year, gain of 23. 900, and a gain of 30
900 on the majority given for the Republi-
can candidate for President in lS64 Be-
sides. We have largely increased our strength
in tue General Assembly and, in a Lumber
of counties in which, for several years. We
have been in minority, we have elected
our county tickets. These facts, Indicating
as they do the steady and certain decline of
Abolition strength, instead of beinga disas-
ter, constitute substantial triumph for tn e
Democracy, which ned only be properly
improved to insure the speedy and perma-
nent redemption OF Ohio from Abolition do
minon.
The contest thus auspicinusly closed was
lnaugufated by the adoption OF correct
sound AMI glorious platform, IN which
Democratic principles were clearly and fear
lessly declared without disguise or mutila-
tlon--a platform recognized all over the U
mon as being talthi ul and honest eXposl
ton OF Democratic prlnciples, measures and
ideas. Upon tins noble platform, cordially
lndorsed by the gallant candidates, the De-
mocracy OF Ohio made glorious canvass
and although defeated, came out OF the con
test with dignity and honor-its go9d name
unlmpalred, Its ranks un6roSen and undls,
Nayed. Next to the inherent vitality o.
Democratic principles, endGared to the Srea'
mass OF the people by the blessings they nave
conferred, and the haii9wed rccoiiecti0n'
that cluster about them, the cfcult OF thl'
