The Radical press insists with great unc>

over the course almost ur supported. There
is nothing like proving faith by one works.
II they believe that. of course they will
leave this Presidential question to take care
ofisilsf, confident that the re,u will be on
their lie, II they work with zeal and en-

will afford evidence that their confidence is
mere empty talk, and that they really have
the greatest fears for his success.
There is nothing in Tuesdays elections that
should dampen the ardor Of any Democrat.
There is nothing that should create any

A State election, with its local caniidat tcs
