IOLITICS- or THE BaY-0HIO ELEC
TIJY.

u
d We commend the following artic
4 4 Z the careful pe.sIsal Of Republican
n VII they not act upon its sugge
i ti,ns 441@
e California, Maine, North Carolin
e and all the places where elections hay
e ben held, show that the Republica
: party, instead of losing ground, as IL
s OpOser5 of Grant have fOoIislly SUI
s posed, has actually gained, and
S gaming in the confidenee of the coul
e trJ. The only point upon which thel
: Is any doubt is whether the vote {
d the country can be brought out. Sill
e guarly enough, this doubt is cause
e by Republican suecess-success of th
{ Republican administration. II th
!, country was in trouble. if the admir-
4 istEatiOn had really done any uneoI
D stihtioDal or dangerous acts; if,
] TACT, the administration had not bee
t entirely successful in its financial an
e political measures, then we shOul
q have political excitement, crOwde
! meetings, terrible Democratic denm
: cistDns, awful threatenings, the ful
: vote called out, and what the peOpl
mean would be expressed by the peO
: pies vote. But now success, prosper
ity extraordinary, the very triumph
, OF the administration, make it posi-
bic that, by negieeting to vote on tn
part Of many, the willy and unprinci
pied party may obtain some tempo
rary success. lfi8ili85t
The administration has secured
peace abroad and peace at hOme-hai
mastered all financial difficulties by {
vas reduction of the pOblic debt, by {
great reduction of taxes, and by ar
4 leeoloIHy which has secured a greai
reduction in the expense of manasi1g
\ aati eoileeting the public funds. The
! people are resting under their own
vine and fig tree, in perfecteongdenee
| Lhat Rn is right; and this confidence
Is because the Republican party is in
power, and has been so successful that
nobody doubts that while it has the
ears oftiie country all things will go
OF well. Democrats don't doubt At.
Roreignels don't doubt it. Republic
cans feel sure of it. Thus the very
. 1E.2t the administration, great rs
yfd IN Hahe only thing which puts any
ther eouOut its continuing, because,
il drad tate of peace and prosperity,
the 'SSsple are not alarmed and may
ne2leettO vote. NowIin this state of
politics, the great thing to be aimed
at BY the Republican committees is
10 take all means necessary to
get out tie rOte. This is well known,
buethe mode of doing it is never sufff-
eiently attended to. There is n great
deal said about county and township
COMMITTEES, but at last the question is,
have you the men who will 1OOrk2-
have you one man IN each township
who win attend to the business, and
do it? The Democratic candidate for
Governor in Maine issued what was
intended to be u "secTetn circular,
which contained some excellent adj
vice, which, if the circular could have
been kept secret, and the advice fol-
lowed, would have given Democratic
success. He said it was well known
that, the Republicans wOnld not turn
out this year in full force; and if on
ly one or two men in a township
would attend to getting Outthe Demo-
cratic vote, the Democratic candidate
would be elected. This was sound
advice. The only trouble was it got
out before the election. Who knows
there is not Just such Democratic Sc
eret circular flying through Ohio to
eachconfdential agent ? Wedare say,
there is. At any rate, we may be
sure the Democratic vote will be out.
In this the Democrats have some adj
vantage in the number of their Sena-
tOrial candidates. Judging by appear
anees, PendletOn, Ewing, Ranney,
GrOesbeck, McCOok and Morgan are
all trying to geta Democratic major
ty, that they may have chance
of profting thereby. Each one OF
these has some personals strengthen his
own locality. The tendency OfsO many
candidates, therefore, is to Increase
the total Democratic vote. PendletOn
is the only man among them who has
esd Ia t6e ana RfaaE EgeF thsgft2Fe he
digham, which is a strength, and not
a weakness, because the real heart OF
the Democratic party has not depaTt-
ed. The effort of the Democratic
managers will be to carry the Legis-
lature. Hence they sOT- dissensiOns
in Hamilton and CuyahOga Coun-
ties, and watch the doubtful counties.
Last year, on the popular vote, we
gained in the doubtful counties, and
will do so now if work equal to that of
the Democrats is done in them. :

The election draws nigh, and dwhat
is wanting is organization and town
ship work. The last is much more
than public speeches. 0ne
such speech as MOrtOn's at Mozart
answers a ahundTed Ofsuch fiimsy
Orations as the Democratic OTatOFsare
making in Ohio. PendletOn and
GroesbeelS may be safely left to butt
each other. One depG3,ts-the other
don't depart. One wants hard money,
the other wants very soft money,
and a flood of it. Gentlemen, which
is Democratic doctrine? Under what
King, O! Democrat! Both of these
gentlemen agree in being afraid That
Grant will smash the KiI-KluX I'M
BAH BoshI Give
your sympathies to the New York
thieves. You will do as muchfOT
them as for the Ku-Klux-the mask
ed Villains of midnight murder
whom no Constitution ought to pro
tect. E. ID. NJ
