The Radicals have held continued posses
sion of all the public departments and the
control Of legislation for the last ten years.
This influence has extended over the bankS
and great corporations and made them sub
ccryient to partisan dctati3n. Besides this
immense power. wholly unprcccdcntedsince

fortunes of Pennsylvania, nor Is her dctcc'

chances of Mr.. Greeley. II the sky darkcns
over PENNSYLVANIA, l%ht is breaking through
the clouds elsewhere.
In Ohio the Radical majority has been cut
down at least onc-alf, and probably two
thirds; whilst in Indiana the latest report
that reaches lis i that Hendricks has carried
the Stale by Il small majority. But there Is
much serious work vet 10 be done, and il the

have inherited, the movement so well BEGUN
must triumph IN the end, for the principles
for which the Democracy and Liberal Re-
uublicanS are .conrcndng are vital to the pre-
