Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-11-12

The elections this fall were the skirmish.
es precursor to the great Presidential con-
test of next year. In these the Democra-
cy have won the vantage ground, and good
policy warns us to- keep up the fire and
push on the charge. Let no armistice be
granted for the enemy to reorganize his
demoralized forces; no time given for the
advocates of negro supremacy to white
wash their Odious propositions; no Sleep
ing on our arms while the bondholding
aristocracy are getting up false issues hir-
ing speakers and substituting presses to pro-
tect them from the just demands of an OPP
pressed people. Let not oui banners be
lowered for single day; but let them float
upon every breeze, and upon their ample
folds be emblazoned in letters of living
light, ,.i 80,

THE STATE CoNvENTIoN.-We hope the
Democratic State Central Committee will
not fail to issue call for the holding of
the State Convention on the 9Th of Janu-
ary. In the result of the last election we
learn the advantages gained by holding an
early Convention. Let us gfve,heed to the
Lesson. So ~ D.
The Springfield Transcript having suggest
ed the propriety of the Legislature electing
M. L. BRYAN, Esq, the able editor of the
Madison County Democrat, whose office and
books were recently destroyed by fire, to
some office within its gift, Mr.. BRYAN de-
clines candidacy in the following lau-
guage: ID .4s5r rFa il 7fra-
| 'sThank'ee, Mac; thank'ee; but really
we have no aspirations for legislative hon.
ors or emoluments. 1t is just as much as
1 we can shoulder to run country printing
office-wc couldn't think of running the
Ohio Legislature. There are plenty o.
gentlemen willing and even anxious tC
make the necessary sacrifices to accept 8
clerkship in the Legislature, but we doubt
our patriotism to that extent. Our thanks
are due you just as much as though we
| hankered arter it." e-Hu7a39- $3.50 tU=Si
| Mr.. BRYAN is one of the most modest
and deserving men in the State. ~, r.!

] We heard Radical business man, whit
by the way receives large Democratic
trade, remark in a decisive way that mex
year they intended to drive their hogs up t.
vote to Offset the foreigners. Talk of tina
kind is very Objectionable, and, if persist
ed in. we shall give more particulars as tG
who the gentleman is.--Frenaont Messenger
Were it worth the pains, we could men
ton several business men in Marietta who
while sufficiently glad to get Democratic
customers, neglect no opportunity of vii
litying the Democratic party and the mel
whom Democrats support. Their bigotry
amounts to sheer folly. Others, we ar,
glad to say, pursue different course, an(
| while they sustain Radicalism, are conten
to let their opponents alone. Most of thi
class advertise in The I'imes-a sure sign o
political as well as business libera!ity.

i THE BANNER.-The flag promised by tn
Democratic State Central Committee to tn
county making the. largest Democratic
gain in the State, has been awarded t.
Lawrence county, she having made ne
] gain OF 1l21 votes. The Democrats ofold Ad
ans would like to have received that flag
but they are taking ''theirs" in somethin
else than a striped, bunting. Instead of
flag, we glory in our resurrection of Ad
ans county, in the redemption, of ou
Senatorial District and the wiping out O
the three thousand Radical ajority in CfIi
/ Congressional District and placing instea
a Democratic majority of nine hundred
Lawrence! take the flag! You hare earn
Led it, we'll and nobly, and we, the Democ
racy of old Adams, will put up with th'
glory of being in the same Congressiona
District with you, and the purity of th
} political atmosphere since the election
