Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-10-19


District and that of Judge VAN TRUMP in
the 18th, by overwhelming majorities is q
complimentd due to them for their services in
battling against corruption and to their high
standing and indomitable opposition to the
mad and patricidai course of the Radicals
in Congress.
Hang Out Our Banners ON the
Outward Walls.
The result of the recent election in this
State, although disastrous in some of its
consequences, so far from causing panic
in the ranks OF the Democracy, is accepted
by our friends as a salutary warning and
admonition to do their sohole duty in the
coming Presidential election. 1t is well
understood that negroes and other illegal
voters have helped to make up the Repub-
lican numbers, whilst in many localities,
local causes have kept large numbers of
Democrats from the polls. This will not
be so in November. We have information
from various parts of the State that our
friends are sternly resolved, at all hazards,
that the sanctity of the ballot shall not be
again Invaded. That the declaration of
majority of $4,000 white voters against
Negro Suffrage shall be enforced. And that
for the purpose of seeing the issue fairly
decided by those only who have the right,
every Democrat who has strength to go to
the polls will be there.
| The lying rumor of a change of front and
withdrawal of SEYMOUR and BLAIR, so
eagerly caught up and circulated by the
Radical Disunionists, is regarded with con-
tempt as "a weak invention of the enemy"
The Democracy comprehend fully the duty
before them. They will not be diverted.
and cannot be scared from performing it.
They well understand that it involves a
contest for the preservation of free consti-
tutional government against Despotism-
| for the triumph of Truth over FALsEHooD-
INTEGRITY in public trust over CoRRUP-
TON. That the hard earnings of the toiling
millions shall not be taken and squandered
in order that the pampered aristocratic
few may be relieved from burthens and
share in the plunder. All this the la
boring masses know, and they know,
also. how to right themselves. They
have not regarded the October cleo
their purpose, ard then grown confident
in their stregth, when the great battle was
to be fought, they have thought little of .he
moral effect of defeat in skirmish of out
pests. But now when on the eve of the
great struggle which is to decide whether
they and their children shall enjoy the
blessings of liberty and prosperity, protect
hxy1 10 nf
white men, or whether their cherished
rights shall be stricken down or held at the
caprice of corrupt damagogues and igno-
rant and besotted negroes-now, when
these momentous questions are to be set
tied, there is no apathy, no confusion, no
dismay, but from every quarter comes the
command, in clear, calm, determined tones,
DEMOCRATS, CLOSE UP YOUR RANKs-PRE-
PARE TO CHARGE"
Democrats, you have much to encourage
you. Beside the assurance that the right
is with you, and that ''thrice is he armed
who hath his quarrel just" you may con-
fidently rely upon aid outside of your own
organization. There are many in your
midst who see the dangers which beset the
country under Radical rule, and who will
quietly aid you at the polls. There is, in
addition, an element of strength, which
numbers thousands of voters in Ohio, that
helped to swell the Republican aggregate,
but which will be gainst them in Novem-
ber. Our IsraeiiJe friends have not for
given, and can never forget, Gen. GRANTS
Infamous order expelling the Jews in
body from his lines, and his still more in
famous letter justifying the act, in
which he brands them as the "mur-
derers of the Saviour of the
world.'' They will teach him that
the man who would prescribe and insult
a nation of people because it may have
been that few individuals were violating
his orders, or, what is more probable. were
in the way of the christian thieves within
his camp, cannot, with their consent, be
placed at the head of government pledged
TO foster and protect all of every nation
and tongue.
We say, then, WORK WORK WORK Con-
firm the dOubters if there be any, assure
the timid, if you find such. Reason with
your neighbors-be calm and respectful,
but firm with those who differ with you.-
Let all be assured that you are terribly
in earnest, and that whilst you intend
yourselves to yield obedience to the ma
jority of the law, you are determined that
your opponents shall also obey its COM
mand. The majority against you in 1868
was upwards of 100000. We know it was
obtained by fraud, but it prevailed. Since

good cause, until last year you succeeded
in securing the Legislature, and reducing
the majority against you on Governor to
| less than 5000. On Tuesday last the
Radical majority was less than $1,000. You
know how it was obtained. In view of the
determination to see that negroes and other
illegal votes shall be excluded-that every
and with the aid you may confidently look
for outside Of the Democratic organiza-
tion-the odds against you in October will
be overcome, and you can win a lasting
victory.
For ourselves, we hang out our banner on
the out,oard aoall, in the full conviction that
| it will float in triumph over a restored I'm
ion, guided by the wisdom and patriotism
of Democratic councils, under the Consti-
tuition of our fathers, upheld and sustained
by the will of WHITE MEN, assuring to all
| equality in taxation and representation,
and securing to labor the same measure of
full and equal protection as is afforded to
capital.
| The Result.
The Democracy of this county have
elected the entire Democratic ticket, by an
Increased majority. This result is attrib-
uted to the wonderful change that is going
on in public sentiment, on the issues that
divide the two parties of this country. The
