ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL, Oct IA, lof%'J
The results of the October elections have
not fulfilled our iuss expectations. 1hougn
Indiana /. tied with q Liberal Governor aud
Superiptepdept of Education, chosen BY de-
c;dsd ms6,r,tiss; while Ohio has SO tar re-
duesd the adverse maj ority that our breth.
rem ia that State confidently hope TO be tuO-
ees,ful At the coming election while Gsor.
g.r declared for US by majority which 10
sures the choice of Greeley and Brown
electors in nearly every Southern State, yet
the enormous msjoritiss counted against US
in PsnusylvAnia has given our AdversAries
assurance that BY like lavish disbursements
and fraudulent practices they may carry al
most any State they choose, including even
New York. There is no intelligent citizen,
Of whatever party, who does not realize that
the 30 600 majority scored up in Penusyl-
vania for HArtFAnft over Buckalew repre-
SCENTS not the conviction of the voters, bot
the vast sums whereby those convictions
have been ovsrborne, and that this ma GRITTY
could have just as easily been given to eth
er OF the two gigantic peeulatoIs who were
psrdonsd out Of felon's oells, where they
had spent bat few months, in order that
their testimony might smooth the way TO
HattrAfnis election. A CONTEST is nowforced
upon az between money and manhood. All
/ the expenditures of all parties 10 former
Presidential elections do not equal 10 the
aggregate the vast sums with which ever
contested State is supplied in order to make
them seem to desire aud consent TO the re.
tenlion Of the present rule 10 Washington
Not only are office holders, Immigrant Job
bsrs, subsidy mougers, and Government coz
tractors OF all kinds assessed and reassessed
to promote the reelection OF General Grant,
buJ wo are well assured that European
bond holders and fand-mongers that never
saw this country, whose rights we never
Questioned, whose interests we never assail-
ej, have been induced to subscribe and con,
tribute bounteously TO the ZANE end. We
cannot rAise dimes to meet the dollars thu
out against Us. No Credit Mobiler has dex
trously transferred millions to our pocket.
and fastened a corresponding debt upcn tn,
industry and property Of the toiling masses
No Secretary of the Treasury stAuds read
to help I'll! our pockets or DOR campaign
/ cheat By stock gambling, in which ne load
the dice so as to make it certain that VI
shall win. 10 short We have but the fev
dollars profered as by those who have hon
es,ly earned them, and We must mako there
with the best ight we CAP, while the veual
the sordid, the rspsoious largely supply then
tens of thousands to our Autagonisss, conf.
IDENTITY expecting their retnru with large
usury through the legislation and jobbery
whereby the few are enriched at the cost OF
the many. Ofoourss, these are all shouting in
chorus that we are already beaten. Bat we
are not beaten. There are twenty States
casting nearly 200 electoral votes that We
eau still carry If We only will. We are in
danger Of defeat mainly because some faint
hearts are discouraged. A large majority
Of the American people realize that We stand
on the right platform, and they AZ least de.
sire oar success. They deIire, as we do, a
perfect National reconciliation en- the basis
Of universal amnesty aud impartial liberty
They desire also National puri6cAtion, and
a genuine Civil Service reform, whereby the
J freedom Of elections shall be protected anC
shielded from the enormous corru pting pat
Tonage Of the Federal executive. II We
shall be overborne 10 this election, it will BE-
; generally conceded within year that the
reforms for which we struggled were genuine
and necessary. 10 every contest between
money and manhood, the latter is certain o
nltimNts il not instant success. Brethren
We must not be beaten. Oar country bal
} too much a, stake on the issus o6 this con
test. Resolve with Us this day that by your
stout hearts, and strong arms, the Liberia
cause and candidates shall be resistlessl,
borne onward to decisive, beuefcent ri
umph.
Go behalf Of the Liberal Republicsi
State Committee.
