TO THE DEMOCRACY OF ONO:
RooSs OF THE DEMOCRATIC Elk. Con-.
COLUMBUS, OCTOBER 10, 1868.
Without pretending to deny that
the results of the recent elections
are Injurious to the best interests
ofthe country in the defeat oflocal
tickets and many patriotic Demo.
Gratis, q careful survey Of the field
shows that thereis nothing in those
results to justify despondency or
excuse any relaxation of the efforts
OF the Democracy in behalf Of the
cause Of Justice and constitutional
liberty, for which they SO nobly
struggled in Ohio. us
Although beaten by small ma
jority in poll of over FIVE hundred
thousand votes, the result shows
that the Democracy have gained
between ten and fifteen thousand on
the State aticket, while the enemy
have been unable to maintain their
strength of four year2 ago, and have,
in addition, lost no less than four
Congressman; and their successful
candidates have such meager ma
Jorlties as to justify the most siren
uous efforts to carry their districts
at the November election:
In the Presidential year of 1864,
the Democracy polled eighteen
thousand more votes than they did
at the October election, and were
then beaten over fifty thousand. A
similar gain this year will give
Ohio to Seymour and Blair--those
last tributes Of the people and Of
freedom. The means and energies
Of the enemy, and their facilities for
the perpetralion OF fraud, corrupt,
ion and colonization were exhaust.
ed in their desperate effortsto carry
the October election, aud will, not
confront us in November. These
lawless impediments removed. the
three great States Of Ohio Indiana,
and Pennsylvania, which cast more
than one million FIVE hundred thous.
and votes, will be redeemed, and
the flag Of American Democracy
still maintain its supremacy as the
standard Of liberty, honesty, and
Justice throughout the world. ..1

liant and energetic struggle, made
at q darker time than the present
is for our country. Tho cause needs
but the unwayering courage, the
indomitablo will, the tireless ener-

such as the Democracy displayed in
the recent, and in many a previous
contest--to secure its final triumph.
These qualities you are now called
on to exert by every consideration
OF patriotism, honor, interest and
hope the peace of our country and
the liberty OF our posterity. l

and voter of the Democratic party
