cractic standard in 1868, and carry it tri- |
umphantly through the contest.
My Democratic friends of old Franklin, |
we have met here to rejoice in some degree |
over the result in our own county. Wei
stand at the head of the Democratic col |
umn; only one county in the State gives a
larger majority-that is Ashtabula-and
think in one more year we will beat her.
When 1 look back to 1910, when the Dem
ocratic party cast but 1,750 votes for Van.l
Buren to $500 tor Harrison, and now see
that vote increased to 1855, while the op-
position is only 1900, feel assured that we
can increase our majority to 900 at the
next election. 1t is true we have to con-
tend with the patronage of the State. All
the public Institutions are against us.
Every political string they can pull, of
course. is against us; but, with all that.
county have steadily increased, until
at the late election the city gave
200, and the entire county 2,655 for Judge
Thurman. With this showing, my friends,
we have right to rjoice. We do not
come here to browbeat-to insult or to
cause unpleasant feelings to our fellow
citizens of any party or belief They are
our neighbors-many of them are our per-
sonal friends. We only regret they cannot
see as we do. Ours is common destiny !;
If our country prospers, and the people are
thrifty, free and happy, we shall all enjoy
the blessings; if our country is torn by in
ternal dissension, and our people divided,
oppressed and unhappy, they and we
suffer alike, and while we do accord
to them the same honesty of pur-
pose that we claim for ourselves,
believing as we do, that it is best for all
thai the Republican party, with its radical
and destructive measures. should he defeat
ed and turned out of power, we rejoice that
! the people have made such rapid strides to
that result, and we rejoice that so many
who heretofore voted against us have re-
corded their names on the Democratic roll,
there to remain until the work of redemp-
tion is completed. Let us from this time
forward until November, 1885, not lose
sight of the great object to be attained, the
election of President and Congress who
will act harmoniously for the real restora-
ton of the Union, under the time honored
principles of the Constitution. Let US have

Yellow Fever Dr.appeariur

The frost has nipped the yellow fever and
it has departed for parts unknown. From
Galveston to Key West, and from New Or
leans to Memphis, it has rioted unchecked.
The popularity of the epidemic this year
has been, that it did not spare old citizens
and acclimated persons, although such
have not suffered so severely as the others.
The suffering has been much more general
than on any previous visitation, because OF
the want of that attendance and those SIM
pie comforts which were always procura-
BILE before the war ravaged the country
The relief sent from the North was timely
and most acceptable, and many grateful
heart still beats to remember the kind SYM
pathizers in the common distress. The
Gulf cities have been litetally prostrated
with the pestilence. The return of cooler
weather revives them, and every day occu-
patioHs will be at once resumed by a still
hopeful population.

The Democratic victory in New York is
comparatively barren one. Only two Of
fees of importance are to be filled by the
next Legislature; those of Superintendent
of Public Instruction and one Police Com
Cincinnati Gazette.
OF course the success of the Democracy
in New York is barren victory-all
Democratic victories are of that class.
True it is that in 1865 the Radicals car
ried New York by 27,245 majority-re-
duced in 1866 to 1879, and in 1867 changed
to Democratic majority of near $4,000
that in the Legislature elected last year the
Democracy had but 81 members to 100 for
the Radicals, and that at the late election
this overwhelming Radical majority was
changed to Democratic one of seventeen,
which enables the Democracy to right the
wrongs inflicted on the city of New York,
by legislating all the power of the city
into the hands of an irresponsible cabal,
who use the power and the money of the
people to aid Radicalism in its efforts to
contract the currency. Still the victory,
the Gazette says. is I" barren one."
"Barren" as it is, it has swept the EN-
pire city from Radical rule-plucked it as
brand from the burning, and in doing
this has given Radicalism such fright as
it never had before. 'a-

A Rival of the Renowned Weston.

A young damsel who rejoices in the
charming soubriquet of Nancy Ann Sny-
der, and hailing from Armstrong county,
Pa, has been creating quite sensation in
that section of the country. The Clarion
Banner gives the following amusing ac-
count of the affair.":
'.Among the sporting fraternity of New
Bethlehem, Clarion county, was young
man, who recently ran two and one-third
miles in eighteen minutes, which was con-
sidered pretty good, and he carried his
"honors' with becoming dignity. The
''parient" of the above named young lady
knowing that his "gal' was some on a run
herself. laid wager that she could beat his
time. This proposition offering some fun,
the bet was quickly taken. and the young
lady entered the lists, confident of success,
and on the Goth ult. ran seven times round
a ring, in that town, which made her re-
quired distance, two miles and half in
seventeen minutes. The first round she
made in two and oue-third minutes. The
race was witnessed by large number OF
gentlemen and ladies, and a number of
bets were made on the result. - ~

lenges any lady in Clarion county to run a
race-distance from one to five miles-for
twenty dollars side. Who will compete
with her for the championship? Don't all

1T should be one of the first duties of the
Ohio Legislature to see whether the State
of Ohio cannot dispense with the services of
B. K. Cowen, Adjutant Generator at
least reduce his salary. so as to make it un-
pleasant for him to sOjourn around the
State House, as hanger-On. 1t would be
well, also, for the Legislature to inquire as
TO what rooms in the State House are used
as repositories of Radical documents, and
what clerks, paid by the people of Ohio,
are engaged solely with reference to the
performance of duties enjoined on them
by the Republican State Central Commit
5ee.-Czeueldnd Plain Dealer.
The State may profit by the course re-
commended to be pursued, but the Democ-
racy cannot we'll dispense with Gen. .CowEN.
As chairman of the Radical Central Com
mittee, he played fast and loose on Negro
Suffrage, to the great disgust of his own
party friends, and to the delight of the De-
nocracy.
That the State House was turned in
to Radical Club House, and clerks,
paid by the State, spent their time in cleo
pioneering, there is no doubt, and we
would be glad to see some of these offices
renovated, but spare Gen. CowEN for fu-
lure use.

The National Convention of 1865
Cleveland as the Place 10 Hold

The National Convention Oh ASoS-I
Cleveland as the Place TO Hold
h.
The National Executive Committee will
soon call general meeting Of the National
Democratic Committee appointed at the
Chicago Convention in 1854, and consider
and determine among other important
matters the place for holding the. .Conven-
tion for 1868.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, puts in plea
for that beautiful city as. sthe place where
the Convention should be held. Perhaps
there is no city in the Middle States, or in
the West, which presents so many consid-
erations favorable to selection. for such
purposes as Cleveland. The season of the
year, which will be probably May or June,
will find that city balmy, genial and at
tractive.
The Plain Dealer adds:
"Cleveland holds remarkably central
position between Maine in the northeast
and Minnesota in the northwest, and equi-
distant from Virginia and Missouri. 1t is
also the terminus of the great lines of rail-
| way between the East and the West, in the
| lines connecting with the Southern Attain
| tic and seaboard States, and also the South
western States through the valley of the
Mississippi to Louisiana and Texas.
"Among the many advantages in favor of
Cleveland, Is the large number of excellent
hotels-several of which are unsurpassed
in the United States, for their facility to
| accommodate in suitable style the guests
attendant upon National Convention.
"The Democracy of Cleveland are in good
spirits to greet representative Democrats
and Conservatives of the country, ha ing
themselves opened the great reactionary
and conservative campaign, in April last,
| by electing Democratic Mayor, by five
hundred majority, after having been brok-
en- and crushed under the black iugernaut
of Radicalism for seven years; and upon
the issues which lately have so signally tri-
| umphed in the success of the Democratic
party in Ohio, New York and other States.
1--WE understand that some gentlemen are
now in correspondence with the National
Executive Committee upon the subject OF
such Convention, proposing to erect in the
central portion OF th,. city, and in close
proximity to the principal hotels, a TEMPLE
or building suitable for the assembling OF
| the representatives of all the States of the
Union.
ave believe this effort will meet the ap-
probation of the gentlemen charged with
the duty of furnishing accommodations for
that great and important Convention, and
that the election of Cleveland will be emf
| nently satisfactory, especially to the De-
mocracy of Ohic, and to our Democratic
friends in the Valley of the Mississippi"
We cheerfully endorse all that the
Plain Dealer says, and join it in urging
Cleveland as the place where the next
Democratic President and Vice President
of the United States are to be nominated
during the coming spring or early sum-
mer,

What they Hope for by Grants
Nomination.


The editor of the Philadelphia Press, in
one of his occasional letters from; Washing
ton, advocating the nomination of General
GRANT by his party friends, says:
General Grants candidacy aoiH giue the
Republicans a ne1o Congress (the Forty-frst)
as radical and thorough as the present. 1t
will annihilate the hopes of the enemy, and
the divisions of our friends. And it will
give our great party new lease of power,
during which, profiting by the lessons of
the past, we can perfect our full mission.
and leave nothing to the tender rnercies of
the rebels and COpperheads." Jfs,
The cat is thus let out of the bag. The
Radicals want Gen. GRANT, not because
they are at all sure that GRANT is with
them in sentiment, but that his popularity,
they hope, will give them power in the
next Congress as they have it in the pres
ent, and thus force negro domination on the
South. 1t is the new lease of power which
they hope to obtain by means of GRANTS
nomination-that, if elected, they can hold
him in bondage and make him obey their
bidding, or else hold impeachment over
him, as they now hold it over President
JOHNSON, and thus use the Executive
power, or ruin its possessor.
It may be that Gen. GRANT will be
caught in such trap, but we doubt it.

THE open hostility of the Democratic
leaders to the nomination of Gen. Grant
by the Republicans Is one of the most sig
nificant signs of the times. 1t indicates
that they are afraid of him. IfGrant is as
conservative" as they assert that he is,
their hostility to him is ineXplicable.-Day
ton journal.
The only hostility we have yet seen to
the nomination of GRANT by the Repnbli-
can party, comes from the newspaper press
of the Radical school.
The Sdndusky Register says of it, that
"the most unpleasant circumstance at
tending the nomination of Gen. GRANT
for the Presidency, is the fact that the
worst class of conservatives that ever
entered the Republican party are among
the first to fasten themselves to the GRANT
movement" That "THURLow WEED and
his reactionary clique were the first to
actually nominate GRANT," and that they
undoubtedly aided to secure a Democratic
majority in New York so as to kill off
CHASE" Until GRANT defines his position,
the Register will have nothing to do with
him, for fear that he will ba a second
JOHNSON on their hands.
The Journal makes the mistake of sup
posing those in open hostility to the NOM
nation of GRANT, to be Democrats instead
of Radicals. The Democracy have no lot
whether GRANT or CHASE, or WADE or COL
FAX be the nominee, will be a Radical
funeral, and not ours.

The WAY They DO 1t.

In Philadelphia the Radicals took a list
of the soldiers in Fort Delaware, not one
of whom was a resident of the State of
Pennsylvania, and counted them as voters
for the Radical cause. In Ohio they voted
negroes, in violation of the Constitution, in
such numbers as to leave little or no doubt
but that the illegal negro vote in that
State is more than equal to HAYES major
ity. In the county of Lorain, one OF the
most intensely Radical in Ohio, they con-
Quoted the election in this manner. as We
learn from the Elyia Constitutionalist::
"In Elyria, the judges refused tn enter
tain a challenge on lccOunt OF color, and
permittedtuH 6looded negroes to cote, ouer the
challenge and protests of Democrats, and ,oith-
nat putting them under oath. In Sheffield.
Russia, Wellington and other townships,
the polls were held open until O'Clock.
and in others the ballot-boX was carried
away at noon, and in other places, was car
ried all over the adjoining territory to re-
in Pittsfieid. a brick maker, employing
some fifteen or twenty negroes, just from
Alabama, marched them to the polls, anc,
voted them like cattle, and the judges re-
ceived their votes.
''Such outrages were common, and We,

| frauds perpetrated by the Radical boards,
was taken at the time by the proper per-
| sons, aud they may be called upon TO an

bar and on trial for their offenses."
That is the way the Radical leaders re-
gard the purity of the ballot-box when il
comes in conflict with their desire for
power.
THE President has finally decided not to
send message to Congress until the first
Monday. of December. An exchange
thinks he should collate and send, in spe-
cial message to the Rump, the returns Of
the recent elections, which, though not ar
endorsement of him, are reputation o.
the Radicals.
Another Democratic sheet calls upon the
Radicals to impeach JOHNSON and turn
him out to grass, because he has no mes.

some of the other charges upon which i'm
peachment is said to be based.
