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. Morti-
flying as is the fact, Justice to the
Liberal Republicans, and an
earnest desire to retrieve the
misfortune, require us to declare
it. In our chief towns the Lib
eral strength exceeded our most
sanguine estimates. In the
country it fell short but the ag-
gregate Of Liberals in city and
country who voted our State
Ticket, added to the Democratic
vote of 1868, would have over
come the Republican majority
at that election and the negro
vote combined, and given us vic
tory. w3t
Can we repair the mischief
We can. Four-ffths of the
Democrats who stayed at home
last Tuesday can be induced ia
vote for Greeley in November.
Those who will absolutely refuse
to 60 to the polls will be coun-
terbalanced in numbers by those
Republicans who went against
us last Tuesday, but will vote
for Greeley. We have only to
poll our usual Democratic cote to
snatch from defeat a glorious
victory. The Liberals stretch
forth the hand. Shall we refuse
to take it? The PROSTATE and
plundered South cries out fol
help. Shall we be deaf to Their
appeal? By Greeley's election
we can restore prosperity and
good government to the South
kind feeling to the now hostile
sections, honesty and honor tC
the civil service; respect for the
Constitution and laws to the Ma.
tional Administration. CoulG
we do more with a Democrat in
the Presidency? Could he ex.
pect that cooperation in Con.
gress which Mr.. Greeley would
command? Are patriotic Demo.
Gratis willing to lose all the
beneficent results of a vic.
tory out of a personal hostil.
ity to Greeley, or disgraceful
lethargy? Are Ohio Democrats
ready to let our yet pure and
proud State become debauchet
and hopelessly subjugated, like
Pennsylvania, by hordes of mer.
cenaries paid by public plumber
Fellow Democrats! Our union
with the Liberals in Ohio has
not been fruitless. 1t has given
us Hamilton county by near six
thousand majority, which secures
the Constitutional Convention
and the Legislature and an Uni
ted States Senator next year, il
we make a brave fight this Fall,
Should both Ohio and Penn
sylvanla go Tor Grant, the
chances are still in favor Of
Greeley's election. Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, and In
diana, added to those border and
Southern States which are. GER
tain for. Greeley, will give him a
clear majority.
We have already by vigorous
and aggressive fight, forced the
Grant party to it's knees, and can
conquer it in November. as
Fellow Democrats: Work till
November, heartily and hope
fully. The Liberals will take
care of themselves. Let every
Democratic County Committee
get a list of those Democrats in
each township who failed to vote
last Tuesday, and direct its
efforts to them. Bring out this
laggard vote, and the fight is
won in Ohio and the Republic
