Democrats Of Ohio.

Democrats Of Ohio.
You have been beaten by negro votes, by
votes mported IRON other States, by fraud
at the ballot box, by a majority far less thar
half that which has been given against you
for many years, with the single exception OF
last year, which, on account OF local issues,
was but q Temporary success We can car
~ the State in November, if We. will all
turn out and vote. The enemy. cab not re-
peat his Oc'ober vote, nor, indeed, any
thing like it. Cn the other hand, rom eve
ryquarter We hear of numerous Democrats
] who did not vote in October, who will vote
in November. The enemy, by virtue of
| their superior organization, by their expen-
| diture of tens and hundreds OF thousands OF
| dollars, by their control of most OF the pat
ronage Of officers, Federal, States, county
and local, brought out their vote far better
than we did. They had the advantage Of rs,
too in local nominations. We we're unfor-
tunate in that respect, in a number of Con-
gressional districts and counties, selecting
men who could not carry even the full
party strength. Many of the strongest
Democratic counties, therefore, fell off
largely in their majorities At the Presi-
dental election we shall have better vote.
There is hardly man who will then lose
his vote, no matter how sick or helpless,
for President of the United States. This
reserved vote will be in our favor. We be-
seech our friends of the Srate, county and
township committees to be on the alert, aud
make such arrangements as will result in
the poing of the entire Democratic vote,
one week from Tuesday. The enormous
registered vote in New York City and
Brooklin shows that we shall carry the i'm
mense Empire State by vast majority.
With it we shall take New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland, Kentucky, Oregan, Cali
fornia, Nevada and Connecticut with certain
ty. We have an even chance for Missouri,
Indiana. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
With Ohio the election of Seymour and
B air is a foregone conclusions; and Ohio we
shall have, if every Democrat will vote and
use his inhusnce on the election day. Re.
member, Democratic voters of Ohio, tina.
while the Wings elected Seabury Ford, Ct
Geauga County, Governor of this State, in
October lS4S, the Democrats elected the
Presidential Electors for Cass and Butler,
in the November following, by majority
of 10000 This indicates how little infu-
ence the State election has on the Presi
Dental contest.
There ia no reason TOR dependency upon
tho part IF the Democracy, Their gains
from the last Congressional election have
been really unprecedented in their magni-
tuie. All that is necessary is to stand to
our guns and maintain the strength Of our
organzatun. The final battle is yet to be
fought. All that has transpired ha been
but mere preliminary skirmishing, in which
only part of the forces have been in the
field. Had the PrusSan General Blucher
been daspondent and considered his defeat
at Ligny on the 10Th of June, 1915, as
irreparable, he would not have saved Wei.
ingtun on the 18th OF that month. and by
that junction defeated Napoleon and chang
ed finally the political destinies OF the world
at Waterloo. In that which has already
occurred the Democracy have really lost
nothing in position and power. o. the
contrary, we have gained largely. We are
certain to win at all points, only provided
that we naintaia our ground with tirmness |
and discretion. There is cause, none what
ever, tor panic A change of two hup-
drea in a country or fifteen or twenty in
n township will revolutionize the State and
give us a handsome majority
We appeal to you, therefore, Democrats |
of Ohio, TO rally in your might, from the |
river to the lakes FROM the borders OF In
diana to those of Pennsylvania. Give. US
increased majorities in the great Democratic
counties of Franklin, Monroe, Butler, Hol
mes Fairfeld, Licking. Crawford. Putnam,
AupIaizc, Mercer, Pickaway, Brown and
Defiance, In these counties alone you can
roll vote several thousand better than you
gave in October, On the Western Reserve,
in Warren Greene, Clinton, Athens, Meigs
Ind other Rad cal stroasholdes, be vigilapt
and active. The enemy Can do no better,
yea, not near as well, for his ticket, for
he exhausted his resources and brought out
his full vote in Cctober. In the. close coun-
lies and districts, where the greatest fraud
was perpetrated by the Radicals TO obtain
he local Offices the Democracy car gain
very largely, and we believe they will, by
IN, rgy and activity, in November. We
have conversed with prominent Democrats
rom al parts of Ohio, men of cool judg
ment and not given to sangune impulses.
They all believe VIC can carry Ohio trluln-
phantly for Seymour and Blair if all OF us
work with energy and will. What Demo
sat is there, what conservative man who
voted with as on Tu, sday last, who will not
do so? 1t would be reproach and dis
grace for Ohio to be lost. Ii must not be
lost. Democrats, you have the votes, and
you can prevent it. The official returns
show that IN many counties you did not
bring out your vote of last year. while the
Republican vote was all out. ut.-EaQ.
