The Democratic County Papers
of Ohio


The Democratic County Papers
of Ohio.
Much that was complimentary was said in
the Eastern journals few weeks ago, 10 no.
gard to the gallant fight. made in Ohio by
her Invincibie Democracy The result of
the elections in all the States which voted
this fall, shows that in none of them, in
proportion to the vote and the majority to
overcome, have the Democracy done as well
as in our State. We have, indeed, De-
mocracy that is neither cut down by defeat
nor intimidated by numbers In the recent
political campaign In this State, there was
but very little public speaking. General
Morgan and Colonel Lang, our candidates fer
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, had but
little assistance in the canvass, from the great
mass of onr popular Democratic orators,
and the brunt of the fight fcllupon the fear
less men who control the county papers Of
Ohio. The vigor, the efficiency and the en-
ergy they threw into the canvass awakened
the Democratic people from the lethargy
which enveloped them, and the election re-
suited in an immense. reduction of the Abo-
lition majority, large Democratic gain in
both branches of the General Assembly.
and the election Of a large number Of local
officers. H..- .-.4 .f . q.
To the Democratic County Press, the par
ty in Ohio owes much. Itnever faltcred or
failed to do its duty. Determined AMI reso-
lutte, believing the disbandment of the De-
mocratic party would be the worst thing that
could happen to the country it four years
ago raised its voice against such step, and
carried with it the great mass of the Demo-
c:acy, and to-day the. party is stronger in
numbers and more confident ofultimate sue
cess than it has ever been since 1861. The
day of victory may seem distant to many
some may be discouraged--b no one re-
viewing the movements of the masses, the
deep under current of the public mind, the
dissensions, troubles and wrangliugs in the
ranks OF our enemy, can place the day of
Democratic success far distant. The Demo
cracy, favoring the immediate reunion of
the States, and showing united front
against the extremists and radicals, must
and will soon be recognized as THE UNION
party of the country, and to its standard, in
the decision Of the question OF probation
ary or immediate Union, "a Union of hearts,
union of bands, the conservative people
must rally. But there are other. questions.
The common mind is heaving how. The
political chart of the day must soon be
amended, Monopoly, special privileges and
class legislation must enl. The hard hand
ed mechanic, the .swarthy operative, the
farmer and the laboring man, groaning un-
der the Alpine load of taxation, will rise in
their strength and strike down, through the
ballot-box, the rag baron rulers, who with
relentless hand and tyrannical sway, seek to
make labor pay for the immunities enjoyed
by wealth. sr .. ..- ..,i tf.. '...
The Democratic county papers of Ohio,
with their hands on the pulse of the people,
are now utteriug their sentiments and fore
shadowing their determination. fhe peo-
pie Of this Government have right to a
sound currency, equal taxation, equal gov
ernment, and to insist that government shall
be administered with the greatest frugality
-sn that its blessings shall, like the dews
Of heaven, fall alike upon the rich and the
poor, AS the refectors Of the public SEN
timcnt of the people, the county Democra-
tic press Eoby champions their cause. -
