CoLUMBUs, ONO, November 15.-
A special consultation meeting Of
Democrats AMI Liberal Republicans
of Ohio was held here to-day. The
Liberals, about forty in number,
met separately and adopted resolu-
tions declaring, in their opinion, it
was desirable that consolidation
Of all elements favoring the leading
principles enunciated by the Cincin-
natl platform should be effected; the
Liberal organization should be
maintained and perfected; that the
next Liberal State Convention
should declare squarely in favor of
a tariff for revenue only, and invite
all persons, without regard to for
mer political associations, to unite
with them; recommended that, af-
ter the next State Convention. the
name of Liberal Republican"
as party name should be dropped
ard that of the Liberal party be
adopted; asking all organizations
which have thus far co-operated
with Liberal Republicans to aban-
don old party names with a view
to a more perfect union under the
name Of Liberals; that as a party
they were opposed to all special leg
islation or special privileges, be
lfeving that the equal rights of all
should be our guiding principle on
ali ramiications of government af-
fairs.
THE JOINT CONVENTION.
The Democratic and Liberal Re
publican State Central Committee,
together with a large number of
other representatives Of the two or
CARNATIONS, from various parts of
the State, held a consultation meet
ing this evening in this city, pursu
ant to a call issued on the 9th of
this month. A committee had been
appointed by the Democratic and
Liberal Republican State Executive
Committees to prepare an address
to the Democrats and Liberals of
Ohio, for consideration and adop-
tion by this meeting. This com
mittae consisted of Senator Thur
man, Gen. Thos. Ewing, Gen. Brink
erhof and John G. Deshler. Sena-
tor Thurman, on behalf of the com
mittee, reported an address to the
meeting.
Itwas considered and unanimous
ly adopted, as follows:
To the Democrats and Liberal Re
pubfcans of Ohio:
The Presidential election is over,
and Grant is reelected.
1t is not our purpose at this time
to speak Of the causes Of the result.
1t is the future that demands your
and a recurrence to the
past is useful only to ascertain facts
and lessons to teach. A vast ma
jority of the Democratic party, per
haps ninety five per cent, voted for
A large number of citi-
zens, heretofore of the Republican
also voted for him.
The aggregate Of their votes, as
nearly as we can estimate, exceeds
three million and II quarter. The
nominal popular majority for Grant |
IS something over a half a million |
on 8 vote of nearly or quite seven |
per cent. This is the result as
nearly as we are able, in the absence |
Of official returns, to state it. But
his vote does not represent with
exactncss the sentiment of the
country.
It is evident that large body Of
electors staid away from the polls.
Nearly every one of these men is an
of the administration and
lad they seen ft to cast their vote,
Grants popular majority would be
-ery small, if indeed it would exist
It all
The prominent features of the
lection may be briefly stated:
Ninety FIVE per cent. of the Demo
rats voted for Greeley; of the re-
FIVE per cent. a compare
lively small number voted for
irant; the greater part OF them did
.ot vote at all OF the Liberal Re
.ublicans who joined the party of
eforra q large majority stood fast,
7hile others, despairing of success,
rent back to their old associations
T staid at home.
Now, leaving ont OF view the We
al men, who, from base, corrupt
motives, deserted the cause and
oted for Grant, and who cannot be
elied on by any party that uses
one but honorable means to further
IS success, it may be safely affirmed
hat the great body Of electors who /
taid away from the polls are now.
$ they have been in times past, on
osed to the dominant Radical par

osition at the late election, and ]
