York Tribune, and papers of that class for
the last twenty years, also the Enquirer and
Day Book have been read by me fora series
of years. But none of them either did or
now represent my sentiments, either on
the negro or financial questions, and SO
of course are not filled with that kind of
matter that choose to operate with, in
turning people from darkness to light, from
prejudice and passion to the true principles
that lay at the foundation of our Govern
ment, properly called Democratic. l am a
National Union Conservative, and am, as l
always have been,iD favor of all that is good
in human progress. L left your party in
fifty-four, and for causes that have always
felt justified in doing, in the sight of God
and man, but cannot go this internal Radi-
cal programme, and turn topsy-turvy, to
accommodate either the Shylock, the office
holder or the mistaken philanthropist.

Trying the Brag Game.


The Journal editor has lost all hope OF
his party carrying Ohio this fall. He feels
that Negro Suffrage is a dead cock in the
pit, and what is worse, that the rank and
file of his party are fast arriving at the
same conclusion. To hide from his read
ers the fear that possesses its party friends,
that sheet tries the brag game. Like all
who indulge in boast, it lies as fast as a
horse can trot. Read what it says about
this good old Democratic county of Frank
lin. that stands pledged to 1900 Democratic
majority for Judge THURMAN and the Dem
ocratic Ticket.
"FRIGHTENED.-A worse frightened setof
men than the Democratic leaders of Frank
lin county never whistled for courage.
| Their meetings have been failures. The
thinking portions of the party are coming
out in squads for the Constitutional
Amendment. Even in the Ninth Ward,
| one old Democrat who has voted the un-
scratched ticket for more than forty years,
| announces his intention of voting for the
amendment"
If the Negro Suffrageites in this, or in
any other county in Ohio, can beg, borrow,
steal, trighten or coax any human being
that has voted the Democratic ticket for
the past three years, to give bond and sure
ty that he will vote for Negro Suffrage,
we advise the Journal to catch, cage and
exhibit him ut 25 cents admission. There
is a fortune in the investment, particular
ly if the Jonrnal editor will be the "side
show" and repeat the following from the
article from which we clip the above:
Take it by and large, it does not seem
an unlikely thing that the Democratic par
ty in euen Franklin county, may be routed,
horse, foot and dragons, this fall"
Such side show would beat all the mon
key shows that BARNUM ever dreamed OF.
More perfect failures of meetings, than
those held by the Negro Sufirageites in this
county during the past week, were never
witnessed, while those of the Democracy,
without single exception, were well at
tended and enthusiastic.
If every county in Ohio makes pro-
portionate gain for the Democracy aJ the
October election equal to that of Franklin
county, Negro Suffrage will be so far in
the vocative that the party that supports
it will never dare go into a contest again
under any of its present names.
Garry Franklin county for Negro Suf-
frage? As well attempt to pump dry the
ocean-stop the course of the Niagara as
it surges over the falls-make an honest,
truthful man of the editor of the Journal,
or do any other impossible thing.

chief Justice Chn.e in Ohio.

Chief Justice CHASE has come to Ohio
and has established his headquarters in
Cincinnati. 1t is announced through Re-
publican channels that he will remain un-
til after the election. He has come to aid,
if possible, in averting the inevitable de-
feat that awaits the Republican party in
October. The Chief Justice has been
characterized as a man of great shrewd-
ness; but we doubt much whether his
shrewdness can reconcile majority of our
voters to the monstrosity OF making the
Negro political balance of power in this
country. They are perfectly willing that
he should use "the shovel AMI the hoe"
and prosecute the business of barber /;
but that he should assist to make the laws
for the White people in this country, is a
thing they are not yet prepared for.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-09-24
Renmdfali0n.

The Journal is in tribulation. 1t reads
in the signs of the times the certain defeat
of the Republican party at the October
election. The result of the elections in
Connecticut, California, Montana, and the
average gain of over one thousand to a
county in Maine, render it unmistakable
that Ohio will pronounce against the
Radicals on the second Tuesday of Octo-
Der. And for the purpose of frightening
people from voting against the Negro Suf-
trage candidates, cries out Justify that the
Democrats are in favor Of "Repudiation."
Last year the same concern charged that
it was the intention of the Democrats, II
they should succeed last year, to adopt the
Confederate debt and thus add intellectually
to the Federal debt. Then it was held that
the Democrats were determined to increase
the public burthens. But now it is urged
that the Democrats, if they shall
succeed this fall, will wipe out the whole
public debt with the sponge of reputation.
The success of the Democracy in the State
this fall will not affect the public debt
We have no members of Congress to elect.
1t is chiefly local contest, wherein is to
be decided whether Negroes shall vote and
hold office. That is the paramount issue in
this contest. The taxes are oppressive, and
the people need relief therefrom; but they
can not get the necessary relief until they
shall put a majority ofDemocrats into Con-
gress, and Democrat into the Presidential
chair. This is question that will come up
for decision next year. Then the ques-
ton of taxation in all its ramiications will
Ebe specially before the voters. The success
of the Democratic State and Legislative
tickets this fall will undoubtedly exercise
restraining influence upon the corrup-
tionists in the present Congress; but it will
not stay them completely in their mal-ad-
ministration.
In our State Government we need re-
form and retrenchment; and it can not be
brought about in any other way than
by changing the State officials and
electing majority of Democrats to the
Legislature. The Legislature that shall
be elected in October will be called upon,
too, to pass upon an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States provid-
| ing C1aG L06 NeRTO Shall NObC hCiO III OhiO
as we'll as in all the other States of the
Union. Should the election result in Civ
ing the Republicans majority in the Leg
islature, they will ratify that amendment,
and in spite of the overwhelming majority
that will be given against the pending Ne
gro Suffrage amendment to the State Con-
stitution, Negro Suffrage will be forced
upon our people.
The Democrats are in favor of repudiat-
ing this proposition; they are in favor of
regulating unjust Determinations in tax
alton they are in favor of repudiating all
manner of official corruption; they are in
favor of repudiating wastetulness and ex-
travagance in the State and Federal Gov
ernments. They want to repudiate what
ever is calculated to needlessly oppress the
people.
This is the kind of Reputation the
Democracy OF Ohio are in favor OF, and
none other.
