GREAT DEM0CkATIc VICTORY IN
......srs 3 CINcIHHATI.z
On Monday last there was an election
for Street Commissioner at Cincinnati
and although the Office is net as impor.
tant as that of President or Governor
still 1t was sufficiently important to be
made Q test Of party strength, in that
hitherto strong Republican city. The

The Radical organs were very bitter in
their opposition to MIR. Chambers, and
endeayored to excite the prejudice of the
people against him on account of his re-
Iigion, Is they are now doing against
General Rosecrans on the same score
The result was as follows: 5 9

This result like that in Virginia, clear
IL indicates the coming storm, that will
sweep from power the thieving Radical
party that is now ruling and running the
country. - la1Il 1Ire3 ssii2'l 'a.l
Toa well posted, intelligent Democrat
the above article from the st. Clairsville
Gazette, would read like the funeral
knsll of his party. If the Democratic
party has no other victories to crow over
land It has not or 1t would not crow
over thsse-then, indeed, is 1t in des-
perate condition. 5elg tt -
The only truth contained in the para
graph relating to the Cincinnati election
is the declaration that Chambers was
elected Street Csmmissionerover Jenny.
That Chambers was a Democrat that
the Radical organs were. very bitter In
their Opposition to him, and that they
fought him on account of his religion,
are sheer fabricaticns, without founda-
ton save in the muddled waters of the
disordered brain of the editor of the
Gazette. Chambers, the elected candi-
date was q warm supporter of Grant.
His nomination was made by Rspubli-
cans He was supported by the Com
mercial and Times two of the "Radical'
papers, and he was elected by Republi-
car votes. If the editor of the Gazette
knew anything about the Cincinnati
election, he knew these to be the facts,
andyet he deliberately perpetrated the
Wholesale falseheods in the apove article
for the mere purpose of deceiving his
Democratic readers. viii such bare
faced falsehoods deceive anybody?
In relation; to the result in Virginia
and the editors attempts to construe it
into q Democratic victory, he is equally
unfortunate or ignorant. Walker, the
Governor elect, was an avowsd Repub-
lean, nominated by Republicans and
elected on the Republican platform of
Congressional Reconstruction and ami
yersdl suffrage. After his election, in
his speech made at his reception at
Richmond, he declared himselfa Repub-
hean and q hearty supporter of Grants
Administration; and at his instance the
large crowd who listened to his speech
gave three hearty eheers for President
Grant. Such are the facts in relation to
the result in Virginia, which the Gazette
claims is to sweep the !" thieying Radical
party y from power asfdflssss .ise,sa
So farlis the Democratic party from
power or any hope of obtaining it, thatit
has noorganized existence in nearly half
the States of the Union It has no or
ganization in Virginia; ithas no organi-
zation In Tennessee it has no organiza-
tion in Mississippi; it has no organize
ton in Texas, nor has it any organiza-
tion in any of the States that seeded or
attempted to secede from the Union. In
all ofthese States the contest is between
Radical Republicans who favor the con-
tinued disfranchisementi of the late
rebels. and Conservative Republicans
who favor Greeley's theory of univer-
sal amnesty and universal suffrage. ~
1t has become emphatically sectional
party and has no organized existence in
any State south of Maryland and Ken
lucky. 80 - &, -5..f.s, -srs, =5..s
Upon this subject we call the attention
ofthe Gazette and its deluded followers
tothe fcllowing pertinent extract from
the Richmond Enquirer, an old and re-
liable rebel-D Democratic organ:
"The Democratic papers at the North
"have committed very grave error in
ascribing this great victory to the Vir-
"ginia Democrscy.' There has been no
" such porsy in this State for eight years,
and stsocry bones haze rotted, and no,o
I" crt,psble at the touch. No resurrection
dry process could bring that party to
life, ard sts ashes lie mingled aoith,
and wadtstsna auished from, that of the
Why party. p i' y, .....,.
-. UNFAIR ADVERTISING.
The country newspapers, many of
them at least, are treating their princi-
pal patrons, the merchants and business
men Of their own neighborhood, very
unfairly. They profess to have regular
rates for the insertion of advertisements
and usually charge all local, short rum
ming advertisements. at the rate of two
