The Democratic and Conservative voters
Of Dayton are fully alive to the importa nee
of the contest about to come of. The
Radicals, under the lead OF the Anti-JoHS-
soSScHKscK fAction-including the Jour
nal and the Federal ofIice-holders al this

to place the city In opposition to the restor-
alton policy OF Prcsident JOHNSON. They
want to show by the result Of the coming
