enemy at every point. You have
nominated candidates that have ably
vindicated the cause Of freedom you

Horatio Seymour, we have no desire

GENERAL GRANT.
After paying a glowing tribute to
General Graui, the sp a.er said /:

mouths in silence. What is that?
They meant to have him for their

CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, let me say that Ohio
has ever shawn herself one of the most
loyal Of all the States. Her potent
voice at the ballot box has for many
years sustained aud electrified the
Government. Let that voice be
heard again on the 18th of October
aud again in November, aud it will
reanimate our faith and confound the
traitors in our country. Every man
then to the rescue. Call forth all
your strength, your earnes. patriot

humanity, equality, and all will be
