Republic.

Republic.
ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-Senator Schurz
made a speech a. st. CHARLES last night, in
which be said the Liberals intended 70 Wig
orously fight to the end Of the campaign;
that there was nothlng IN the events which
have Just taken place, and the circumstances
surrounding them, which would in any
way dampen the spirit of the men engaged
in the Liberal move. He said If Grant was
reelected the country would witness the
most corrupt administration it had ever
seen. He denied that there was freedom
of elections in the South, and prophesied a
time when they would have to fight fire
with fire, force with force, and the country
would witness the deplorable results seen
In Mexico and South America. He said
four years from now they might be
time, and they would not be
able to help themselves, for in that time he
would be able to elect himself. He stated
be had always been Republican, always
advocated the principles of that party, al
ways endorsed its course, and that the prin-
ciples which he advocated as Republican
are his principles and bis course still. He
had never deserted from them, and now
rejoiced In the virtual accomplishment Of
all he ever contended for. he acknowledge
ed reverses, and that the issues of the cam
paign are doubtful, but the conclusion be
drew was that there being danger, they
must prepare for it. Hthey had difficulties to
conquer, they mast put forth every effort.
They had terrible odds against them, but
so long as there is a fight, so long is there
hope Of victory. .tkEE AK
