The victories just achieved il the great
central states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
tIndiana, are such as may well cheer every
patriotic citizen. Following the success
es already won in Vermont, Maine and
Connecticut, they conclusively indicate
the result of the Presidential cauyass.
There remains but ono source of appre-
hension on our part; but one passible
ground for hope on the part of our op.
ponents. 1t is this: that the republicans
regarding their triumphs as already sub
stantially won, may relax their efforts,
and omit the work by which alone the
final victory can be assured.
Let US beware Of such folly. The an-
spicious successes already, achieved
should stimulate US to renewed exertions
instead of lulling US into q dangerous
and inglorious repose Ne hare ansne-
my to contend with, always on the alert,
and always quick to take advantage of
any lack of vigilance on our part. Do
not for moment fancy that the masses
Of the Democratic party will b, discoura
ged by the prospect Of inevitable defeat
of their candidate for President The
leaders will still struggle for local Success
es and will bring out their full party vote
Their followers, the great mas of them,
do not ard will not know, before the
third of November, that their party has
been everywhere routed in the October
elections.
Whoever expects to witness the mass
es of the democratic party disnayed,
understands little of the nature Of that
party. There is nothing SO intrepid as
iaiguorance A band of hundred savages
on our western borders viii array them
selves against the whole power Of the
United States. They experience no dis
couragenent. because they cannot com
Eprehend the odds against them They
only know they are beaten when they
feel the actual physical impact Of over
whel,ning numbers. --.j.

| I! IS the not merely the. election of our
candidates for which we should strive
Our aim should be to give them, and
the principles they represent, the moral
support Of an immense ,n:jorfty-a ina
jority that shall Indicate tie strength
and determination of that sentiment in
the country which has inflexibly resolved
that the Just fruits of the nation victory
over the rebellion shall not be surrender
ed, that the national faith. pledged te
the protection of Union men in the
South, shall not be violated or put in
jeopardy by entrusting it to the keeping
of men Of doubtful or reasonable ante
cedents.
To this end, we ask you at once to go
about the practical measures necessary te
bring out the full republican vote ia the
several precincts OF the state. Here are
some essential things to be done
/. If not already prepared, make out
at once full list of voters of your rcspec-
tive precincts, classifying them according
to their political character.
2r Appoint committee, assigning tc
one or mere OF, its members the. duty Of
standing at the polls on election day, and
checking the names of the voters on the
list prepared as we have SUGGESTED, a:
they vote, while the other mem bers, pro-
vided with teams, are sent for such re
publicans as are likely to be laggard and
neglectful. ~
3. Appoint large vigilance committee
to attend the polls throughout the day
and challenge ali persons concerning
whose right to vote tfere is any doubt.
4. Attend to the Republican voters oi
foreign birth, and see that their papers
are legal By the recent decision of the
Supreme Court, all declarations of inten.
ton to become citizen, made before a
deputy Clerk of the Court outside the
! Clerks office, are illegal and worthless.
In all such cases new papers should be
obtained from Clerk himself
5. Make timely provision for an abun-
dant supply of tickets, and be certain be-
fore using them that they are accurately
printed. As
Ifthese suggestions are generally adop-
ted through the state, we can confidently
rely upon an unprecedented vote for Grant
and Colfax and majority such as will
give every Republican just cause to be
