SARDIs, MONROE Co., O., May II.
Your course in regard to the (if | un-
dersiand it, Liberal Republican nomina-
tons at Cincinnati meets with hearty
response from the Democrats in this
part of Monroe County. We, the Dem
ocrats, have come to the conclusion, that
we will not vote any longer for Gene
raj jackson for President, but will cast
our votes for some person there is rea-
sonable chance of electing "
have conversed with majority of
nnr leading and best informed Demo-
Gratis, and they are all of the same opin.
ion.
In voting for the Cincinnati nominees
we may not get all we ask, but we think
we had better take part than none at all.
Our opinion is, that the leading men
of the Democratic party undoubtedly
held out some inducements to the get
ters-up of the Liberal movements and we
don't see how .they can conscientiously
GO back on the Cincinnati movement
We have made this declaration in our
minds and among ourselves, that, If the
Convention that is to meet in Baltimore
don't indorse the Greeley and Brown
ticket, we will take no part in the cam
paien, for all that it will amount to. The
Republicans say TO us here, if you will
help rs to elect Greeley, we will help
you to elect members of Congress that
will support the administration of the
Liberal party. These are the views of
the party in this section. Respectfully,
W JIM GOODWIN.
Mr.. GOODWIN is an old friend of ours
and has always been an ultra Democrat,
but, in the present dangerous condition
of the R epublic, thinks it the partof wis,
dom to support GREELEY and BROWN
upon platform of sound Democratic
principles, than to risk the success of a
straight Democratic nomination. The
success of GRANT l. Co., at the Novem-
Der election means,
Continued reconstruction
Ku Klux enactments;
Controlling elections with Bayonets
and Cannon;
Robbing the people of the South;
Disfranchisement;
Corruption in all the Departments of
the Government;
And making the Law-making power
subordinate to the military.
seven years of this Bayonet, disfran-
chising reconstruction farce Is what Mr..
GooDwIN and the entire Democratic par
ty have grown weary of. They want a
Government conducted by honest off,
cials; and we indorse this position as
patriotic and honest in every sense of
the word.
Let the Baltimore Convention act the
part of wisdom bv nominating GREELEY
and BRowN and the GRANT party, after
the November election, will require aft.
