Confesting Elections-A Radical
Sheet ON the Contesting situa-
tiOn.

COufeSting EIectiOng-A kadical
Sheet ON the Contesting situa-
tiOn.
The Chicago Tribune, q Radical sheet, not
having the fear of EGGLEsToN, ASHLEY and
JULIAN before its eyes, thus alludes to
the threats of certain defeated candidates
of the party to contest the election of the
Democrats who defeated them:
=, ''Mr. Benjamin Eggleston, one of the
present members of Congress from Gin
cinnati, was defeated at the election a few
days ago by s24 majority. BY compare
son of the vote, 1t is ascertained that 227
Republicans who voted all the rest of the
ticket, refused to vote for Eggleston, and
that number of votes being withdrawn,
defeated him. There is loud talk among
his friends of contesting the election. In
the Toledo, Ohio, District, Mr.. Ashley is
defeated by over 1000 majority in a Dis
trict which gave the other candidates on
the Republican ticket fifteen hundred
majority. There is talk there, too, of
contesting the election. In the Fourth
Indiana Congressional District there was
clear Republican majority for the State
ticket, with the exception nf Mr.. Julian,
the candidate for Congress. Enough Rel ub-
licans voted against him, or failed to vote
for him, to defeat him by asmallmajority.
He talked, also, of contesting the seat, but
subsequently shorter means of redress
was discovered. The vote of one precinct,
strongly Republican, but largely anti
Julian, was thrown out, and Mr.. Julian
declared elected. Thus the election of the
Republican State ticket was placed in jeop-
ardy that local candidate might defeat
the popular will, and retain his seat in
Congress. fl-s .yEH Tatf ~ilIHI taI &.
s'If these proposed contests were merely
absurd proceedings of particular individu-
ais, their action would be of very little
moment; but in each case the proceeding:
based upon the assumption that because
the next House of Representatives will be
Republican, that body must, as matter o
course, decide all claims without regard tc
their merits in favor of the Republican
and against the Democratic candidates. II
is time the Republican party put the
stamp of reprobation upon all such as
sumptions. The last House strained Law
and justice to their utmost extent in order
to displace General Morgan, OF OHIO; tn,
result is that the people of that distric
have reelected General Morgan by ma
jority of several thousand. l.ssr
''The Republican party is not justified
in sustaining fraud, or in arbitrarily put
ting out an opponent to make place for
friend who has been repudiated by his con
stituents, nor can the party afford to Civ,
any encouragement to any contest the rea
basis of which is that the claimant is
Republican. If Republican members o
Congress cease to command the respect anC
confidence of their own party and get de
feated. let the consequences of nominating
such men be borne by those guilty of th'
folly, but do not undertake to reverse tn
public decision by another act of folly
The Republicans, as general thing, will
be stronger with all that class of men ou
of Congress than in it.

PREPARING TO COMMIT FRAUD,
Democrats, Look Well to YouI
- Tickets.

The Journal has sensation head and an
equally sensation article charging that:
Trustworthy information has been re-
ceived from one of the southern counties
of Ohio that Seymours friends have re-
sorted to the scoundrelly trick of printing
fraudulent tickets with the names of Grant
and Colfax over the names of the Demo-
cratic electors"
We pronounce this charge base, tuiU-
ful, and a deliberate Jalsehood. The Journal
any such Tickets exist, they were printed
by Radicals, in order to give color to the
charge. ut E
Just before the election on the second
Tuesday of this month, the Journal charg-
ed that the Democracy were importing vo-
ters into the border counties and through
out the State, to carry the election. The
river counties were to be the great depots
where this game was to be played. Now
mark the result. In these same river
counties the Radicals, by imported voters.
increased their vote over ten thousand
that of the Democracy remained about
the same as last year. In the State, al
though the changes from Radicalism to
Democracy were great, the Democratic
vote was only increased 9067, while that Of
the Radicals was increased twenty three
thousand five hundred and fifty eight, o.
which, we venture the assertion, oyel
that amount were imported, and conse-
quently were illegal and fraudulent votes
Learning wisdom from the past we war;
our friends to BEWARE OF FRAUDU
LENT TICKETS, which will be printed
and circulated with the intent to be voted
by Democrats, with the names of SEYMOUR
and BLAIR at the head, but containing thu
names of some, if not all, the GRANT elect
ors
This we charge, because the Journal ha
raised its "stop thief" cry against Demo
Gratis. This we know, for the reason tina
no scoundrelism was ever practiced by
that party on the eve of the elec
ton, that they did not charge ii
advance as about being perpetrate(
by Democrats. Forewarned the De
mocracy will be forearmed. TAX
no ticket from man whose politics yor
do not know. Take Democratic paper tt
the polls with you, to see if the names o
the Electors on the ticket are the same a:
those printed at the head of the Democratic
papers, and if fraudulent ticket be Offered
to you, punish the scoundrel who does il
by holding him up to public execration.

Forward TO victory.

That staunch Democratic sheet, the BOS-
ton Post, in commenting upon the result of
the recent State elections, makes the fol-
lowing suggestions: a1 rs
sNo, the1e is but one course for us and
the country to pursue. We must keep
our lines unbroken, our front firm. and our
purpose unshakeD. The results of the re-
cent local elections ought to inspirit us to
still more intense exertion. We have beat
en- down Radicalism to meagre majorities
In spite of the concentration of an immense
corruption fund and delusive promises
without number for the future. That part
of the battle will not have to be fought
over again. The November election will
scatter these reserves of fraud and money,
and send home every man to his proper p0-
sition. We want but few thousand votes
in Pennsylvania, and hardly one thousand
in Indiana; and we have reduced the Rad
ical majority In Ohio astonishingly.
SIS there no encouragement in all this !?
Under such encouragement shall we hesi-
tate, or parley, or falter? Shall we not
rather push on to victory? Can there be
any greater boldness than that which
presses forward with its purpose when all
things are working together with us? Can
that be called in any sense boldness, which
stops to change front or consider the deter
mination The people who contide their
cause to us do not so think. They expect
us to march forward, keeping our banners
erect, fighting as we go for The Constitution
and against those who would bring it into
contempt. There is fair chance OF vic
tory before us. We must not halt in our
tracks. The mere suggestion of it, as we
see, makes the enemy wild with delight,
because they find in it their last substantial
hope. We call, therefore, on the Demo-
Gratis of the country to make ready for a
grand final charge all along the line upon
the stronghold of Radicalism. Let US do
it with purpose aroused and strengthened
by recent events, and in name of the Union
and the Constitution.

holders to win money enough to repay the
corruption fund they subscribed to carry

did not dare show their faith by theil
works, and respond, with their loose

sRetrenchment," says President JOHN
SON in his letter to Gen. EWING, s'has be-
come an absolute necessity, or bankruptcy
must soon overtake u.s." That, says the
Boston Post, is what the people are being
told by Democratic speakers and journals
every day, and almost every hour of the
day. The army draining away nearly a
hundred millions in time of peace each
year, and the debt interest in one form and
another amounting to nearly one hundred
and fifty millions more-here is an aggre-
gate from these two items of two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars yearly! The
people sweat that much every year out OF
their labor, paying heavy taxes on their
property, high prices for clothing, fuel,
food and dwellings, and submitting patti
emily to the hindranees which are thrown
in the way of trade and commerce, and to
mum berless distractions to business of al
kinds. And now the Radical demand is sci
up, that military government shall te
maintained in the South for twenty years.
This heavy load of taxation, in good par
totally needless, for twenty years! Is il
not time for the people to call for retrench-
ment-nay, demand it, before matters are
| in such a state that neither reconstruction
nor anything else can save them?
