THOROUGHLY as they think to con-
troll the voters of Portage Comfy, the
immaculate Rayenna Ring dare not,
or at least, have not as yet dared, TO
call a County nominating Convention,
for fear of jeopardizing the chances
of their own fayorites. It is beyond
question that this Ring has slate
made up, and are bound that the
county ticket shall be made up wholly
from it, the evident object being to
run the thing along till shortly before
the election, and then, with or
without a Convention. to force their
ticket upon the Republicans OF. the
county. Hence we see in the organ
Of. the Ring beseeching and soothing
articles, solely to bolster up the anx-
ious would-be candidates and their
friends to such a state of party feeling
as will overcome their chagrin at their
defeat for nomination and reconcile
them to the support of the Inevitable
Ring candidates. Independent, manly
and intelligent Republicans; how ndo
you like the situation? Doesn't 1t
look little as If these nanipnlators,,
if they do not own you, in fact. intend
TO compel you to vote as they say? z
p. s. Since the above was in type
the GRANTEES have issued a call for
their nominating convention, to be
held in this village, October LIST, just
one week before the day of election. s;

Three several times did he refuse

declaring to them that he can not be

refused to accept his declination and

MT. BIaine,s Explanation.

We now have from a newspaper in
Maine Mr.. Blaine's attempt at an ex-
planation of the very serious charge
made against him in documents
which the New York Sun has recent
ly broughtto light. The charge was
that Mr.. Oakes James had appOrtion-
ed two thousand shares of the Credit
Mobilier to the profit and advantage
of Mr.. Blaine, for and in considera-
ton of Mr.. Blaine's vote and infiu-
ence in Congress. 1t was based upon
a list in Mr.. sAmes's handwriting, of
y number of members of Congress
who had been similarly purchased by
him-a list including the names of
Mr.. Boutwell,, Mr.. Dawes. Mr.. Gar
field. Mr.. Glenni Scofield of Pennsyl-
Yania, now in the field for the ,dishon-
est and. branded candidate of the
Pennsylyania Radicals, Gen. Hart
ranft. Its force was explained by let
ters to- and from Mr. Ames, and by
the general context of the legal docu-
ments among; which it fgHi es in an
imporfant,laWsuit now pending. Mr..
Blaine, under, the stress of an impend-
ing election, has been forced to at
tempt to rebut this charge His LETT
publish. 1t is a most carefully word
ed and on. the: face oft disingenious
and.uasatisafctofy letter. Mr.. Blaine
speaks of the charge as a G sensational
story in regard to his Ownership
in the Credit 5M obilier," and declares
that he fineyer owned q dollar in the
Company in his life. This is very
possibly quite true. But this does not

charged, with sany ownership in the
Credit Mobilier.'g What he is chsrg-
with is, precisely, this |: that he allowed
Mr.. 0akess Amesi to put aside Stwo
thousand shares" of the stock of that
Company as for Mr.. Blaine, and that
Mr.. Blaine contributed to- action by
Congress which made those shares so
valuable that within a very short time
dividends to many times the face val

has not answered, and what it Isl of

in the German vote in Cincinnati,

than sufficient to change the past po-
litical character of the State. A very
large part of the German vote, so call
ed, has been against us for years, but
now there are few among them who
will touch General Grant or any OF
his tickets. This county gave nearly
5000 majority for, Grant fgill

FELLOW CIRizENs This contest is
without precedent. In it the peO-
pie are brought face to face with the
question of life or death. The attempt
to rule great country by govern
nient of the people has always failed,
Small Republics have endured, but no
great nation has been able to preserve
republican Institutions. In every.
case corruption has killed them, and
their Republic has been changed into
despotism. The people ofthe Uni
ted States now have to decide wheth-
er they are thus to be oyerthrown, or
whether they have virtue and intelli-
gence enough to put the public enc
my under their fest, There is no
time to be lost. The bribery of Con-.
gress. the sale of Offices by the Presi-
dent, the plnnder of the people treas
ury, and the corruption of the snf-
| fr'age by means of money thus plum
dered. are now but Incidents of every
day. The present Administration
and the party in power snrpass all
previous examples In the dspraVity of
their corruption and the magnitude
and variety of their public robberies.
The heart become sick and patriotism
is discouraged by the spectacle. Shall
this process OF National decay be suf-
fsred TO go on, or shall we have re-
| form-real reform. thorough, search
/ ing and permanent? This is what is
to be decided in this coming election.
1t is a problem far more important
than party organizations, exceeding in
j it's issues all ordinary political
strugSles. IN sucn crisls IL II uiust
natural, and most cheering to find
honest mon of all parties rallying to-
gether, forgetting their ancient differ
ences, and putting hand to hand and
shoulder to shoulder in common eff
tort to preserve. the principles and In
stitutions of Democratic Government.
Such Union is now acting among us.
This great assemblage gives proof OF
1t. Our decided gains in North Car
olina aud Maine give proof of it; and
there is excellent reason for the hope
that in November, both in the State
and in the nation, the cause of reform
will triumph in the election of Ker.

bench of Ohio, the responsible duties

qualified for the position to which he
has been nominated. ~ s35s173i

severe wounds received at the battle

A Good suggestion.

The Cooperstown, New York Free
ma1ts Journal makes good sugges-
tion to Greeley and Brown Clubs :
They should appoint in addition to
their other officers, a reader. Local
speakers cannot, always be bad when
the Club meets, but speeches are to be
had in almost any Democratic or Lib
eral Republican paper, which good
reader can read to the edifcatiop OF
his hearers. Select short speeches as
. rule, and the stirring letters of pro-
minent statesmen.SA gIaao3ila
