TO Fork!

We believe that Horace Grees
ley will be elected President of
the United States, and Gratz
Brown Vice President. Wehave
as firm faith in this as We have in
any future event, unless it be
death, which can't we'll be got
over. But at the same time we
would impress upon the minds Of
all those who desire this consum
nation that it will be reached
only by persistent and energetic
effort. The contest will be no
child's play. 1t will have TO be
fought through from beginning
to end. There will be no amnes
ties, no flags OF truce. Every
inch of vantage ground. will be
disputed with stubborn f1mness.
The Administrationists, having
possession of the Government,
are not disposed to yield an lota
of it. They cling to the spoils
with the desperation Of drowning
men, and they will fight TO: its
retention as fierceIy as though
their very lives depended upon
the result.
To Liberals and Democrats,
therefore, we say, organize, and
organize acknowledgements
Immediately. There is no time
to be lost. Every moment vast
ed in procrastination is a golden
opportunity lost, or at least jeo
pardized. Taking time By the
f relock, we can now occupy and
retain the strong positions secur-
ed by the great national uprising.
Let us learn wisdom from the
opposition. The willy leaders oil
the Administration party are al
work day and night, secretly and
openly, endeavoring to repair the
OBJECTIONS from their ranks
They are organizing clubs and
associations. You may at al
most any hour of the day or
night see squads Of them holding
confidential talks, planning ras-
calities, and projecting schemes
designed to debauch the ballot
and carry thessState by shameless
frauds.
We speak a~dvisedly, and beg
that we may be heard for our
cause. Greeley and Brown can
and must be elected; but THEN
friends must put their shoulders
to tae wheel, and help push for.

Col. r. Pattison, Superinten>
dent Of the Lake Erie, Evausyill e
aud Southwestern Railway, wa
in Eaton on Monday last, and
gave the strongest assurance that
our road would be constructed.
The company work is suspended,
and the Southern division of fif-
ty miles is sub-let and $50 labor
ers at work on that DIVISION
Cross ties for seventeen miles Is
already on TIE line and paid for

heavy work during the month of
September. We further learn

We would impress upon the
minds of all who desire to hear
the issues of the campaign fairly,
ably and eloquently discussed to
come out on next Wednesday af-
ternoon and listen to Col. GRos-
vENER, a Liberal Republican
from. Missouri, and who is said to
be one of the most eloquent and
able speakers now on the stump.
Let our citizens in town, and all
our friends from the country,
come to the meeting and hear
the truth and the Grant admins
tration fairly presented. Other
speakers are expected. If the
weather will permit the meeting
will be held on the East side of
the Court House.

grabs, by railroad corporations,
which were lobbled through Con-
gress, and the public domain pare
celled out among land pirates,
too often including members OF
Congress, and of course come
out of that official station
poorer than he went in
He also advocated a liberal
policy towards the soldiers
and their orphan children, by
giving to them 160 acres of land
tree of CT arge, and untettered by
the homestead restrictions. And
he further advocated universal
amnesty and free suffrage to all
the States alike; thereby securing
to them friendly relations on
terms of equality. These meas
ures were u~npalatable to the
radicals, and he therefore fell
with them into disfavor and now
presents himself as the Liberal
candidate ofthe Fourth District,
and will the people support him?

Some Of the friends of Gener>
al Grant in this place are posi-
lively insane. They have fought
the war owe so often and glori-
fed the Republican party so
much, that they think neither
the one nor the other can ever
change-that the issues must al
ways be the same. They actr-
ally profess to believe that slav-
cry will be re-established if Mr..
Greeley is reelected, in spite OF
the fourteenth amendment and
the wish of the people. No one
who looks at the matter calmly
and with common sense can help
laughing at this, and yet at the
same time plying any one fool
ish enough to assert it. Why, if
a vote was taken among the
former shareholders alone, we
venture to say that three-ffths
of them would declare against
re-establishing slavery. Only
some CT the women and old men
who were too tar gone to recup-
crate from the war would favor
q restoration. Slavery was just
as bad for the whites as it was
for the blacks in a money point
Of view, and the whites general
ly have found it out.

The g. asasckeg .Meeging.

The blowing of the eaton Band
and the begging of the Grant
Club, induced one hundred and
thirty-four boys, Republicans and
Democrats TO tie City Hall on
Monday night last, to hear a very
poor speech from the Bondhold-
ers and Bankers candidate for
Congress, in this District. This
was all they could do after hav-
ing out for several days flaming
Ing hand bills, calling for a'rous-
ing meeting" The Central Com
mittee were loose and drumming
for several days. Grnckel look
ed crest-faIlen, spoke with no en-
ergy and received no applause
Under the impression of the fail
ure, the meeting adjourned at an
early hour with sad eXclamations
on the part of the Central Com
mittee"-"Where are the hosts
of Preble gone'-to which one
of them responded, "The Scepter
has departed"
The Fighting parson" repro
senting Gen. Grant and Jesus
Christ at the Conference, made
his appearancejust at the close of
the meeting, and in response to
a call, remarked, that he repre-
scented three characters-oDe

Secretary Boutwell, said in his
annual report that the ordinary
expenses of the Government, re.
duced TO a gold basis, are $685.
100000. In the same report he
gives a tabular statement of the
various expenditures OF the depart
ments, which foot. up S292,1OO,-

100000 for interest on the public
debt and we have the ordinary
expenses for the year ending
June 80, 1871, the sum of $751;
O00, 600. Now, if that is only e.
qulvalent to 100000 600 in gold,
the premium on gold must be a.
bout $50 per cent. higher in
Washington than in Wall street.
This is but a sample of the dis
crepancy of all statements issued
from the Treasury Department
at Washington.

1t is astonishing how many
wicked, Enthusiastically men the
Republican party contained, and
how persistently it honored and
trusted the basest wretches.-
Such scoundrels, drunkards,
horse-thieves and dishonest men
as Greeley, Sumner, Banks,
TrumbuIl, Schurz, Brown and
others led 1t for years and made
it what it was in the days Of its
greatest usefulness. When we
read what the Administration
papers say about these men and
learn how wicked they have
been for years, we are almost
ashamed that we ever belonged
to a party hypoccitical and sell
fish enough to put them in its
front rank Ind. News.

Mr.. Greeley's tour through
New England has greatly
strengthened the cause. After
Mr.. i. had written his excellent
letter Of acceptance, and had
made one or two little speeches..
it was thought that he had done
about enough, and his critics
promptly advised him to let well
enough alone. Bat his Portland
speech shows thathe Is getting
better and better. Mr.. Greeley
knows about what to say and
when to say it. We want him
here in Ohio.

This is what the New York
Void, the "leading" Democratic
paper of the country, said on the
morning of July 10th.
TO morrow morning we sh all
be compelled to announce Gree
ley and Brown as the regular
Democratic candidates, and al
though we should have preferE-
ed others, we have no hesitation
in saying that we think them al
together preferable to the corrupt

The honest business men are
not afraid of Greeley. It is the
rings of spectators, the vultures
who gorge themselves at the eX-
pense of the public, who object
to him. His election would bring
peace to the whole country, aud
that is just what they don't want.
AS long as things are disturbed
and values are changing there is
a chance for them to bleed some.

Our radical contemporaries
serve up daily what Greeley once
said of the Democracy. Well, he
is like many another man who
finds that political prejudice led
him into error. 1t is not when
a man abandous, but when lie
sticks to his errors that he mer-
it's censure.

New York next week, on the fl

the Congressional lobby ring,
the cheat the Indians ring, the
negro equality ring, the carpet

rings not necessary to mention.
All these rings or organizations
are the legitimate offsprings of
Radicalism, and they work sepa-
rately or together as circumstan-
ces demand. The object for
which the rings contend is rob-
