Let every white man, every white mans
friend, rally for Morgan and constitutional
liberty. The issue Is now made up-the
candidates all In the field. Gen. Cox, In his
Oberlin speech, said /: " have seen
black troops fight nobly, and say TO all,
that they who were good enough TO ight
with us, are good enough TO stand on he Uiion
platform 10Th u.s. SO, Gen. COX Is tor allow
ingthe negroes to stand on the Union plat
form with him, his equal. And, to stand his
equal they must vote. So says Gen. Cox.
GEN. Morgan, on the other hand, stands up
on platform with iohite n,eil--nOne others.
Which platform, gentlemen of Brown
county, will you stand upon? The Mongrel
Coz platform, or the white mans platform?
Choose ye.
Z The Madison Democrat, after having given
to the Platform its heartiest Endorsement,
says:
In regard to the ticket put In nomination,
we have heard but one opinion, and that IS,
itcould not have been improved. Even the
opponents of Democracy are at fault TO
raise sufficient objection to the election OF
the candidates offered, to make anything
like vigorous campaign. Gen. Morgan,
our gallant standard bearer, Is known 10 be
a brave soldier, wise statesman, and an
unexceptionable gentleman in all respects.
As Chief Executive of Ohio he would guard
carefully the interests of her people and re-
fleet great credit upon his constituents for
the wise choice they had made. General
Morgan expressed his political views before

tlop. and does not, like his opponent,
Gen. Cox, wish to deceive them in regard
to his real sentiments. When asked II
he was In favor of amending the Con-
stitution OF Ohio so as to allow negroes to
4 vote, Gen. Cox talks inc0herently about
swaifs and strays" Gen. Morgan, on tile
contrary, says in distinct terms that he "is
opposed to comforting the right Of Suffrage
on negroes in Ohio, or In the South, now OF
at any future time, or under any circum-
stances" This is the kind of man the peo-
ple want for Governor of Ohio. Gen. Cox

The other names upon the ticket are also
well worthy the support OF all lntelllgen
voters, and we believe that at the October

prevail, and the administration of our Stat
government will once more be placed II
the hands of the only party in which 1t cal

by triumphant election of the Democratic
ticket.
The Clarke County Democrat is rejoiced t.

appreciated. The candidates put In nomi
nation for the various Offices, are good ant
true men, and if the Democracy of Ohi'
are animated by the same spirit that actu
