ssWor n FailuresS

The Ottawa Republican repeats the false
hood about three times each week, that the
Democratic National Convention at Chicago,
In 1864, voted the war q failure. Mr.. Grover
Is not Al ignora nus, that he can justify this
persistence in false statement on the
ground that he knows no better Every in.
tellegent man knows, of course, that the
Chicago Convention, instead of declaring the
war a failure or success, only stated what
was a palpable fact, that nearly -four years
Of war had failed 20 restore the Union.
Was that not true? Was the Union restored
in September, 1854? The Baltimore Re-
publican Convention which renominated
Lincoln, declared the same thing when they
resolved that the war should be continued
until the "Union is restored" The Demo-
cratic convention differed from the Baltimore
convention only in this, that while the latter
declared for war to the knife and knife to the
hilt as the only means to restore the Union,
the Democratic convention, equally resolving
that the Uuion mast be restored, suggested
that insisted Of bloody, endless war, and war
only, the experiment" ofrestoring the Union
by negotiation should also be tried. Was
there anything wrong in this? More wars
areended by negotiation than by fighting. Our
war with England in 1914, was ended by
negotiation, and we had commissioners in
Europe Offering terms of reace for year
before the war ended. The treaty of peace
itself was signed before the war ended, for the
treaty of Client was signed before the bat
tie of New Orleans was fought.
The Chicago Democratic Convention pass
ed another resolution, to which we beg to
call the attention of Mr.. Grover. 1t is this !:
"That the sympathy of the Democratic
party is heartily and earnestly extended to
the soldiers of our army, who are and have
been in the field under the dag Of their
country; and in the event of the Democratic
party attaining power, the s.ldiers shall
receive all the care, protection, and regard
which, as brave soldiers of the Republic,
they have so nobly earned"
The Democratic party is laboring today
to redeem that pledge to the extent of their
ability, after failing to attain power in the
general government They are placing
soldiers everywhere on their tickets, propose
to show them substantial regard by giving
them all the Offices in their power The Re,
publican party, OIL the other hand, passed no
such resolution at Baltimore, and their secret
League have determined to ignore the SOL
der il parcellng out the Offices. The
soldiers are excluded from their tickets for
local offices, and are set aside for civilians in
national appointments. True faith shows
itself by works. Friendship manifest is itself
by deeds The republicans show their love
for the soldiers by windy resolutions-the
democrats by nominating and voting for them
for office.

Elections.

State Elections were held on Tuesday in
OHIO, Pennsylvania, and Iowa. In Pennsylva'
mia there were NO important officers to elect
and the rote wos small. The Republicans
having repudiated radicalism, and resolved
to sustain the President, the democrats made
little fight, and allowed their opponents to
carry their state by a small majority.
In Ohio the Republicans had also repudi.
ated radicalism, which enah led them to keep
their party pretty we'll in ha nd. Their major
ity of 100000 year ago is cut down, how
ever, to some $4,000.
In Iowa the contest was really between
two republicans,-onc radical and the other
an snti-negro suffrage man. The radicals
appear to have carried the state by 5000 to
$1,000 majority.

Get Registered !!

Tuesday next, October 18th, is the day for
the first meeting of the Board of Registry in
all the election districts of this state, for the
purpose of making up the Registry of Voters
for the approaching election. Let every
legal voter see to it that his name is on the
excluded.
The Board, in districts polling over 200
voters, may continue in session two days.
The list of voters then made is to be obtained
from the poll list of the last election held in
the town. The Board of Registry are to enter
ON the list the names Of all persons residing
in their town whose names appear on the poll
list of the preceding election, and the names
of those who are well known by them to be
electors therein, and shall omit from the list
the names ofthose who have died or removed
from the town. The list thus made shall be
accessible TO any voter who may desire to
examine or make any copies of it.
The Board shall again meet on the Tues
day of the week preceding the election Sin
their respective election districts, at the place
designated for holding the polls of the cleo
and comparing said lists, and for this purpose
the morning, and remain in session until
nine clock p. N. Of that day, and the day
following; and in other districts they shall
meet at nine O'Clock in the morning and re-
main in session until four o'clock, P. N. Of
that day."
Corrections and additions may at that time
be made to the lists. "Any elector residing
in the district. and entitled to vote therein,
may appear before the board and require
his name to be recorded on the lists"
But in case the name of legal voter be
not registered on the days specified above, if
he desires to vote, he must on the day Of
election furnish judges of election with an
affidavit in writing that he is an inhabitant
Of the ward or town, and entitled to vote at
said election. He must also prove by oath
Of householder and registered voter that
knows him to be an inhabitant of the town
Or ward. 1t is better to avoid this trouble
by having all the names registered at the
proper time, but no elector should be deferred
from exercising the privilege of voting, be-
cause the board of registry may have failed
to register his name.

The Connecticut Election has brought the
N. Y. Times and few other radical papers
of that stripe to their senses. Says the
Times:
The question of negro suffrage in the
Southern States is not, and can not be made
a practical issue in the North. The South.
ern people alone must determine it. We
can, if we like,u upon them, by argument
the justice and the expediency of granting
the franchise without distinction Of color, but
that is moral suasIon, not party action. The
question cannot be made for US n political
question. simply because we have no poIiti
cal power in the premises to make any sub
stantial settlement of it. That power resides
solely in the States directly concerned
Debate or devise as we please, we all have te
