The authentic hour has come wkeI
wisdom tells US that the most secret o
the Committee Rooms hitherto bidder
secresy may with frankness be made
known. Initiating the example of oul
great chief, who, with unsealed lips, ut
tiers his innermost thoughts, those t,
whose hands have been committed biz
interests in Ohio have COMMISSIONER Us
TO transmit TO all tidings of great JOY, t
this hour known only TO them. For The
first time in the history Of political con.
tests in this State, an Herculean Labor
has been accomplished which has hith.
ertO baffied the best efforts Of its hardest
working men. Aided by that division
Of labor. resulting from the fortunate
concentration Of the efforts of
TWO ENERGETIC EXECUTIVE COMMIT
TEES,
these managers have wrought out a
work which will crown them with last
ing renOwn. The work is nothing less
and the labor nothing lighter than a
complete and comprehensive poll OF
/ every ward, township and school district
in the State of Ohio. Absolutely accu-
rate lists Of the names of all the legal
voters have been made out by wards, or
rather subdivisions of wards, and school
districts; each voter has been visited, the
names of those who are against US have
been checked of, the balance has been
struck by perfectly trustworthy agents
and forwarded by them to political head
quarters. These comprehensive returns
have been classified by counties, the
footings Of the figures have been added
together with immense labor and the
grand calculation carried out. Because
the workshas been done in seeresy, it il
not the less, but more thoroughly done.
THE COUNTRY WILL BE JoYOUsLY
STARTLED
when they now first learn that the grand
total exhibits a majority for Greeley,
Reconciliation and Reform larger than
has been cast against the dominant
party in this State for thirty yearsl The
precise majority by these complete and
accurate returns is fOreknown. While
We do not choose to name that majority
vote, we do choose and undertake to
affirm that IL is sufficiently large to
cover all possible contingencies that may
arise between this and the decisiveh hour.
A victory, therefore, grand and over
whelming, one week from tomorrow, is
thus not only foretOld, but actually
assured and absolutely forekROwn! The
joyous morning Of the day Of triumph is
not simply dawning; it has already
dawned!
FRIENDS OF RECoNCILTATION AND RE-
FORMATION IN OHIO!
It becomes you in this glad hour to
bear yourselves with calmness and sOhri-
ETY., with dignity and composure. That
soldier il not worthy of victory who
grounds arms or relaxes one single effort
until the enemy is driven from every
part Of the entire field, and each sepa-
regiment Of his force put TO flight.
And 50, your duties are not ended but !
only nobly begun. Your victory over
the enemy must be turned into a route.
The more decisive his defeat, the less his
10 harass you again. Eternal
vigilance is the price of victory as well
as liberty. Perpetual toll is the law of
political success as well as the law OF
life.
LABOR oONoUEss ALL THINGS,
Incidence achieves nothing. Your &C
tivity must beas c~easelsss and your eDer-
gy and exertiOns as tireless as If the poll
Of the State had discovered the vote to
be a tie. 1t differs little what our ma
iority is, unless all our votes are brought
out into the ballot-bOx ond then hon
astly counted and the count honestly
returned. Here is where seven days'
work is called for, work more diligent,
more unselfish, more self-sacrifcing and
s~elEdenying than any you have
yet performed. The triumph will be the
yrandest and most glorious we have ever
Your personal efforts and
achievements should be cOrrespondingly
noble, conspicuous and proud. Two

Honest voters Of Ohio, you have your
eaders' secrets and plansl They are
that all their acts and counsels
