holding national peace jubilee at
Louisville, Ky. The idea is a good
one. and We second Examiners mo-
ton. A reunion of the people of both
sections would do much for the con-
summation of the aggregate judgment
at Baltimore. It would arouse
stronger interest in an unbroken un-
ion, and tend to more closely con-
ceutrate our forces tn the coming
conflict. But to the article from the
Examiner.
The campaign upon which We are
about entering will be the grandest
and most eventful that the Republic
has yet known. For the first time
in the history of the nation patriot
ism has supplanted bias love of
country is victor over love of party
and hereditary bate. With unan-
unity unparalleled the grand old
Democratic party of the nation with
it's three millions of voters; has con-
sented for the sake of triumph that
will assure national repose and huD-
BILE the arrogant robbers and bigots
who have for tho last four years
controlled the nations destinies,a aud
will unite with all true men among
their former opponents in elevating
to the highest position within the
gift of the American people one who
though heretofore political apver-
sary, has ever been regarded by all
classes and parties as par excellence,
Gods nOblcst work, an honest
man."
That he will be elected by a heavy
majority both of the popular vote
and in the electoral cellege, no OBJ
servant man can doubt; but those
who have the welfare of our cOun.
try and particularly our oppressed
section at heart, ask more than mere
Endorsement we would have him ele-
waited to the Presidency by such an
overwhelming majority as shall
sound the eternal death knell of the
party o. prescription whose alterna-
tives are rule or ruin"
From the st. Lawrence to the
Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacif-
ic, the friends Ofliberty and the men
of heart, regardless of the shackles
of party, are accepting the Cincinnati;
nominee, and pledging their earnest
and tireless efforts to promote the
cause of justice and national recon-
citation which he champions; and
now that the order of battle is no
longer doubtful, and the confronting
clans are drilling and recruiting for
that November day which shall wit
ness Grants Waterloo defeat, we IA
vOr q grand National demonstration
upon the banks of the Ohio, the riv
er that for generation was the boun-
Diary line of sectional hate.
We would have a monster Gree
ley ratification meeting held at Lou
isville, Ky. If Kentucky will but
take the initiative in this matter, the
whole South and West will respond
to her slogan, and from New Eng
land and the Middle States the pa
triOtic masses will hurry to the scene
of the great national reconciliation.

timOre in 1910 of which it is said
"every mountain has sent forth it's
rill, every valley its stream, every
river its flood, and 10 the avalanche

will send her gallant sons by tens of
thousands, and so will every South
ern and Western State, and there
upon the banks of the classic Ohio,
those who have tor many years re-
garded each other with feelings of
mingled suspicion and hatred, the
men Of the gallant and victorious
West-the men of the gallant aud
long suffering South "will shake
hands across the bloody chasm
made by she war" and, remember
ing our common origin aud destiny,
forgetting the mutual wrongs receiv-
ed and endured, cnter into a patrl-
OF league for the preservation of all
that the spoilers left of OurConstitu-

thrallmeut of our people from the
rule of the bayOnet and clutch eff
the rObber: and part, what we never
have been heretofore, sworn friends
and brothers, understanding each
others wants and natures, and
sympathlsing with each others iu-
firmities.
Will Louisville call this great ma
tlOnal assemblage together If she
will, the whole country will res
spond, and Greeley will..gain at least
an hundred thousand voters from
the ranks of his opponents,
Call the meeting, and name the
day, aud will all be there.
