That virtuous pink of Jacobin perfection,
the Reverend Theodore Tilton, proclaims
that Senator Yates, drunk or sober, in his
shirt tail or fully caparisoned, is zone of the
noblest spirits now in the American senate"
1t all depends on the standpoint. from which
the western leader of advanced rsdicalism,
is viewed. To one who, like the sanity
minded Tilton, believes that Virtue una.
dorned is adorned the rnostss there can arise
no sort of doubt that Dick. Yates in his shirt
tail, and drunk as usual, is a very noble
sight to look upon. There would be but one
spectacle more sublime in Tilton's eyes, and
thatiwould be the famous tableau of Grant
and the scup-tureen Chicago TIMES.

The malevolent and slanderous assaults
made by the Jacobin newspapers upon Mr..
O'Brien, democratic candidate for congress-
man-atlarge, have resulted in a positive
benefit to that gentlemen. They have at
tracted attention to his record as man and
q politician, and the people have been shown
how honorable it is to him in every respect.
BY hard study and hard work, he has raised
himself in few years from humble posi-
ton as q common laborer to a front rank
among the most eminent lawyers of the
state; and his life has been so blameless
that there is not stain upon his reputation.
As public speaker, he is both logical and
eloquent and, should he and I'D. W." Lo.
gan meet in the canvass this campaign, the
latter will get severe and memorable pun.

The above table already shows that with


The above table already shows that with
| a little extra effort on the part of the demo
cracy the result would have been different.
For instance, take the one hundred electoral
votes that could have been gained for Nc
Clellan from Lincoln. and 1T would leave
the latter one hundred and thirteen votes
which added TO McClellan's twenty-one
votes, would leave him one hundred aud
twenty-one votes, and this would have been
accomplished with change of only 1884
in the popular vote, and elected George B.
Mcclellan. Now what are the chances2--
Since the election of 1864, the democracy
have gained the state Of Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, California
and Oregon, and reduced the radical msjori-
ties in the states of New Hampshire, Ohio,
Wisconsin,, West Virginia and Nevada to a
mere cypher. The states which the democ-
racy have carried since 1864, will give 80
electoral votes, which added to those that
gave Mcclellan 81 electoral votes, and the
total viii be 10I votes. Add New Hsmp-
SHIRE. Indiana, West Virginia, Nevada,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Illi-
nois, and Nebraska, all Of which we have an
equal chance to carry, and it viii be seen
that the democracy have pretty sure thing
of the next presidency. We shall also car
~ majority of the soathern states. The
people down there are going to take the
iron-clad oath and vote. 1t is the only way
for them to get out from under negro rule.
But the democrats must not be idle, nor let
an opportunity slip by where q vote can be
wen to strengthen the grand total. The
above table shows that with little more
vigor at the last election, IS 1884 votes could
have been turned into the scale, which would
have resulted in glorious victory for LATHE
Mac and the democracy. Let every demo
crat remember that his vote and his efforts
and influence may turn the SCALE e sszi3
