Why We Prefer General Grant.

The reelection of General Grant will
be something more than q mere party
triumph it will be the people indors-
ing In honest, economical and patriotic
administration of public affairs.
The administration of president Grant
has been tried, and not found wanting.
Individual, State, and national interests
have prospered. The laborer receives
better wages than ever before; the mer-
chant is blessed with prosperity the
manufacturer has all he can do the
products of the farm command good
prices; the national debt has been re-
duced over 1881, 600, 900 in little more
than three years. taxes have been re-
duced since 1866 S22S, 000, 600, and the
policy Of the administration is to carry
the reduction still further; the Indians
are no longer a terror to our frontier
settlers; the army has been reduced
to a peace basis; the rights of law.abid-
ing citizens are respected and protected
everywhere; and nation, thanks to
General Grant and his wise policy, is at
peace with the whole world.
This is the picture the party presents
to-day, after more than twelve years of
power. No true Republican can turn
away from so glorious a record. Tens of
thousands Of honest Democrats through
out the land have no desire to change
it. and in the coming election will
use their influence to make it still gran
der in the future.
What the nation wants is a settled pol
icy, and for this reason The people will
indorse the policy of General Grant. 1t
has proven successful in the past, and
that is the best evidence that it will sue-
coed in the future. The country cannot
afford to try experiments under Horace
Greeley, with his erraIic notions ofstates-
manship. He would disturb every ele-
ment of national harmony, and bring
about a financial crisis in less than six
months from the date of his inauger-
alton. 1t is useles to say he might turn
out all right. We can not afford to
change a certainty for an uncertainty.
know what General Grant is. what
he has done, and what he Will do.
Grant has firmness, wisdome, and in
every n of the term a practical man.
Greeley is deficient in all these qualities.
He may be a good editor-but even on
this point we have grave doubts-but
he has not the strong hats of character
to make a safe President. For this rea-
son the people, irrespective of party,
have united on General Grant as the
safest man to preside over the affairs of
the nation, and we believe he will be
by the largest popular vote ever
to a Presidential candidate.

IABORINE MEM

You who are dependent upon the
exertions of your own strong arms for
the comforts of your home for your
self, your wife and children, did you
EVER know your services to be in such
demand, at as high and certain re-
enumeration? Never. The policy Of
the Republican party-the wise adj
ministration of Gen. Grant, under
the blessing of Heaven, has conferred
these great advantages on our country
and upon you. Do you need or desire
a change back to the days of low
wages, dull times. and wild cat banks?
If you do, vote the Greeley ticket.

The Dying Hours of "Fanny Fern.v

II Dying HOURS OF "Eanny fern-"
The last moments of Mrs. Parton
Fanny Fern"-were marked by the
same calm courage that had helped
her to win the many hard battles OF
her life. She had long been afflicted
with intiammatory rheumatism, and
since her return to the city from New
port she has net left her ROOM. Even
here she could not lie down without
causing intense pain and difficulty in
breathing, so she was forced to sit in
an easy chair, supported by a frame,
for two long months, and here, sui
rounded by loving and mourning
friends and the beautiful flowers in
which she always found such delight,
she passed peacefully away. She was
perfectly conscious up to the last mo-
ment and sent affectIOnate. messages
to distant friends. Early Thursday
she knew her end was approaching,
and at three o'clock in the afternoon
she called around her chair, in which
she expired, her family for a last
farewell. a sOrrowing group obeyed
the. summons: DR.. Parton, Miss Ed
ridge, the daughter, her two sisters,
Miss Julia Willie and Mrs. Bumstead
and a little grandchild, DR.. Sturges,
her physician, then joined the group.
The dying authoress said a few words
of admonition until h had reached
the last, and then asked DIR. Parton to
send her grandchild to bed early, and
if she died at night, not to say any
thing about it until morning. Soon
after this sad scene DR.. Sturgess step
ped forward and felt her pulse. The
authoress fixed her gaze upon him
and asked firmly, doctor, am 1 dy-
ing?" The doctor answered, YES"
She continued to sink, and at half
past six her pulse had stopped and she
hadbreathed her last. Once she said,
LET no stranger gaze upon me when
1 I'M dead" and her request was
complied with.

GRANT

Is the synonym of peace, plenty,
prosperity, progress. Greeley is at
the head of the party of disorder,
failure, commercial ruin and stagna-
ton. Grant has been tried in war
and peace, and proved pre-eninently
successful. Greeley has never shown
any practical or executive ability
anywhere. Grant is the nan of
deeds Greeley of words. When
gen. Greeley screamed " On TO Rich
monj," the move was a ~disgraceful
failure. When Gen. Grant gave the
order, it was a glorious success.
That is the difference between a big
noise and hard blows.

For the CHRONICLE.
That Democratic Address.

1nat Democratic Address,
Mr.. EDITER The most refreshing
article which has appeared in print these
many days, is the address of the
Democratic County Committee to the
Democracy of Trumbull, published in
the Warren Constitution.
1t opens thus: "The result of the
October elections is in the highest degree
encouraging"
We suppose this is either "Sarkusti-
cle," as ARENAS Ward would say; or
else u DemOgreelick friends are
pleased for the same reason old King
George of Great Britain was, after the
Yankees thrashed him during revolu-
tionary days, to wit: Thankful because
he 5cdS arhipped no lDorSe. Small favors
thankfully received, gentlemen. Pass
EN- along.
Next: 1.-THE Democratic-Liberal
Move has swept the State of Georgia, by
more than 60, 900 majority"
Hurrah! what a victory. The Dutch
have captured Holland; the Copper.
heads have carried Lordstown! Laus
Dec! Facts are these: The Democrats
carried Georgia il 1865 by 5000 MAORI
ty. Ditto in 1872 Hurrah for the tidal
wave!
Next: "We have redeemed Indiana
by ~electing Hendricks governor by 300
majority"
Reply. The official majority for Hen
bricks is exactly 114S. All the rest of
the Republican State ticket elected by
from 200 to 1900 majority, and a gain of
four Republican Congressman. Oh!
what a redemption! Good for Grant by
5000 certain.
Next: ain Pennsylvania we were
cheated by rascally Frauds" &c.
When Uncle Greeley was a Republic
can he used to say that all the repeaters
and ballot box suffers were Democrats.
Now that old Honesty has turned DEM
ocrat, he swears it's the Republicans
who cheat. "You pays your money
and you takes your choice"
Next: "Still we have an even chance
with them Republicans in November
to carry Pennsylvania.
Wonder why the Philadelphia Greeley
Clubs are closing up their rooms and
selling off their torches to Grant men?
Next: "Horace Greeley is the repre-
sentative of peace, law and good order
throughout the land"
How about Georgia? Was it law and
peace and good order that intimidated
Republican voters there and shot down
voters like dogs when they APP
preached the polls?
Next: "Greeley will come North
with lbs electoral votes"
Quite likely, providing you can Ku
Klux the other States as you did Geor-
gia, and keep the colored voters from
the polls.
Next: sour candidate, Horace Gree
lev, is the type man our country de-
lights to honor, an honest, self made
man."
How is that for a Democratic County
Committee?

party even in its most respectable as

Ohio owns 500, coo, 900 worth of live
stock, according to the State Auditors
account.
The Prohibition vote of Ohio in 1872
ranges from 900 to 2,OS2 on the State
ticket. In 1871, it ranged from 4,0s4 to
4,491.
Latest advices from Idaho repre-
sent thata general outbreak of the
Indians is imminent. Recently large
numbers of stock have been driven
off and the rancheres shot.
One wonld think that the rebuilding
of Chicago would require as many men
as could be induced to go there. Never
theless, it is stated that there are now
twelve thousand laborers unable to get
work in that city.
The Republican press of New York
State is speaking of its own election
prospects with a confidence too hearty
and Joyous to be assumed. The feeling
is wide spread that the Republican par
ty will carry both State and Presidential
tickets.
In 1872, the 'Sore-headed" Republi-
cant chose Dewitt Clinton, of New York,
as a candidate for President, to defeat
James Madison, the regular nominee
Sixty years afterward, the same thing
is attempted again-fhe "Sore-headed'
Republicans nominate another New
Yorker IA. g. to defeat Ulysses S.
Grant, the regular candidate. Clinton
wa extiDguished by the popular vote
Greeley will be.
The largest vote ever polled in Ohio
was that for Secretary of State on the sth
inst, the aggregate being 52O,OS7. Yet
this immense number is fully 5000
less than the voting population of the
State, according to the census of Is7c.
1t is beyond a question that the greater
proportion of the 5000 men that thus
failed to do a citizens duty in October
were Republicans. Here, certainly, is
work enough for the Republicans Of
every county in the State. These Z . 1000
votes should be got TO the polls on the
5th of November.
Tha. terrible scourge, the smallpox,
has again broken out in a virulent form in
various paris of the country. 1t is to be
hoped the authorities of all cities not
yet infected will take immediate pre-
cautions against the dreadful epidemic
Measures should be taken for the vac
cination of all persons who have not
yet adopted that means of protection
against the disease. and for the revac-
cination of those on whom the virus has
heretofore failed to take effect.

We have never known a campaign
wherein the Democrats in Trumbull
county, and in fact throughout the
State, were spending so much time,
labor and money, to get out full vote,
as they are for next Tuesdays election.
They know that a small change in their
favor in each township in the State, will
give the electoral vote of Ohio to Gree
ley. Their extremity renders them
desperate in effort.

ONE WHO WAS THERE.

The New York Herald from its impair
tial position concludes that democrats
and Liberal Republicans are evidently
impressed with the idea that from every
view of honor and duty they are bound
to do their best to elect their Presidential
ticket, and we cannot doubt that in every
State they will do their best accordingly"
With this in view the Herald contln-
ues:
"If the administration party therefore,
on the 9Th of November, act upon the
idea that the issue of the election is a
foregone conclusion, and that the cleo
ton is going by default, they may wake
up on the 9th to find themselves the vic.
Tins of IAN appalling political catastro-
phe."

To him who fastest runs
Nor the battle 10 those people
Which have the longest guns.
