The October Battle,

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN STATE Elk COM
COLUMBUS, O., October 10, 1872.
DEAR SIR-The smoke of Tuesdays
battle has cleared away, so that we are
now able to report fully results.
We have met an army of veterans,
flushed with years of victory, and sup
piled to repletion with all the weapons
that party in power could furnish, with
all the resources Of great Government
at command, and yet in our first onset
victory crowns our banners.
1t has been conceded upon all hands
that the loss to Grant, in October, OF
either of the three great States then vo-
ting, would be victory. for. Greeley in
November.
Indiana is ours, and Ohio can be
made ours, and it only remains now to
gather promptly the fruits of victory.
Ohio has done nobly, Grants major
ity of forty thousand in 1868 has been
cut down to beggarly ten or twelve
thousand upon the first onset. We have
carried eight members of Congress out
of twenty -one--a clear gain of three
from the stronghold of the enemy. and
in spite of the most outrageous district
ing bill ever passed by q Legislature to
gerrymander State.
Greeley and Brown are ten thousand
votes stronger in Ohio to-day than any
man upon our State ticket. and hence,
if we do our duty, the State can be car
ried like whirlwind in November.
That our success on Tuesday is not q
delusion, but real and substantial, is evi
dent by comparison with any vote poll,
ed during the past ten years, and hence
we have every reason to move forward
with confidence and hope to the final
conflict in November @.3 .<t-,..
Even without Ohio in November the
election of Greeley and Brown is sub
stantially assured, as will appear from a
consideration of the following table of
electoral votes. --..-- ..-.-..-

From the New York Tribune, 10th inst
Writing before the October election
we said :".If our friends carry either
one of the three States we shall have
the better chance of success in NoveR
ber. The other side must carry all three
to give them the better prospect" -
We hsue carried one of them, and the
one most desperately contested. We
have overthrown the ablest of the cabal
that led the President to his rum-we
would say also the most INSCRIPTIONS,

we could, forget Simon Cameron

We have no desire to underrate the
gravity of the situation. We have been
counted out of Pennsylvania, which we
should have carried. We could easily
have dispensed with its votes in the cleo
toral college; but the moral effect of the
loss is depressing to greater extent than
the number of electoral votes would in

But we shall win! Our Liberal Re
publicans did well in Pennsylvania, In
parts of Ohio they won signal victory,
while the Grant majority in the State is
handsomely reduced. In Indiana the
Liberal and Democratic victory has been
won in the face of such lavish efforts to
kill the free suffrages of a State by i'm

DEM. STATE Ex. Cow. RooMs,l
COLUMBUS, Oct. IA. {

To the Democracy of Ohio:
The result of last Tuesdays election
shows that Ohio was lost by the failure
to poll the usual Democratic vote. Nor
tifying as is the fact, justice to the Libe-
raj Republicans, and an earnest desire to
retrieve the misfortune, require US to de,
clare it. In our chief towns the Liberal
strength exceeded our most sanguine
estimates. In the country it fell short; /;
but the aggregate of Liberals in city and
country who voted our State ticket, add
ed to the Democratic vote Of 1868, would
have overcome the Republican majority
at that election and the negro vote COM
bined, and given US victory.
Can we repair the mischief? We can.
; Four-fifths of the Democrats who stay
ed at home last Tuesday can be induced
to vote for Greeley in November Those
who will absolutely refuse to go to the
polls will be counterbalanced in numbers
by those Republicans who went against
US last Tuesday, but viii! vote for Gree.
ley. We have only to poll our usual
| Democratic pote to snatch from defeat q
glorious victory. The Liberals stretch
forth the hand. Shall we refuse to take
it? The PROSTATE and plundered South
cries out for help. Shall we be
deaf to their appeal? BY Gree.ey's
election we can restore prosperity and
good government to the South, kind
feeling to the now hostile sections, hon
esty and honor to the Civil Service; re-
spect for the constitution and laws to the
National Administration. Could we do
more with Democrat in the Presidcn-
cy? Could he expect that cooperation
in Congress which Mr.. Greeley would
command =? Are patriotic Democrats
willing to lose all the benefcent results
of victory out of personal hostility to
Greeley, or disgraceful lethargy? Are
Ohio Democrats ready to let our yet
pure and proud State become debau"hed
and hopelessly suhjugated, like Penn
sylvania, by hordes of mercenaries paid
by public plunder'
