The Political Outlook.


vass is over. We are permitted to take
calm, clear aud iutelligible survey of
the political situation.
Our banners have been wreathed
with the laurel Of victory in Connect.
cut, Georgia aud Indiana. In Ohio we
have gained upon the opposition, and
cat down the Grant majority Of 1865,
more than one half Aao,her united
effort in that State, and the victory will
be ours, as cur friends there confident
ly believe. In Pennsylvania we have
been beaten only BY the use of money
and BY the most shameless aud bare
faced fraud. 10 November we shall
engage the enemy along the whole line
Of battle, and there will be no opportui
nifty LEFT to him to mass his forces at
any single point Of the conflict, and our
chances Of success will be greater, ev.
erywhere, than they were in October
Not only so, but the tone Of our lead
ing journals is buOyant, hopeful, and in
no wise Respondent. Our National and
State Committees haveissued addresses
TO tbs people, in the same cheerful
strain, urging all to buckle on their ar
NOR fresh for the grand confiat 10
November. We publish, in another
place, tina addresa of the National Dem.
ocratic Committee, and close this arti.

the Ohio Liberal Republican Commit.
tee. 1t will be seen, by these docu
mcnts, that hope and confidence still
animate the Democracy, as well as our
allies, the Liberal Republicans. All is
not lost that is 10 danger. Therefore,
we say--"Once more unto the breach,
dear friends, once more"
The following is an extract from the
address Of the Liberal Republicans Of
Ohio, and breaihes The right spirit.
Let similar spiris animate the Democ
cracy Of Carroll county, aud let them
grid up their lotus for the linal contest
The smoke Of Tuesdays battle have
cleared away; so we are now able to re.
port full results. We have met an army OF
veterans, flushed with years Of victory, and
supplied 10 repleti0n with all the weapons
that party in power could furnish, with
all the resources of a great Government Mt
command, and yet in our first onset victory
erowna our banners. 1t has been conceded
upon all hands that the loss to Grant ia DC
tober Of either Of the three great Central
States then voting would be victory for
Greeley ia November. Indiana Is ours,
and Ohio can be made ours, and il only re.
mains now to gather promptly the fruits Of
victory. Ohio has done nobly. Grants
majority Of 10000 in 1868 has been cnt
down to a beggarly l0,0Uo or - 900 upou.
the first onset. We have carried eight mem I
bers Of Congress out OF twenty one clear
gain of three from the stronghold Of the Gu
emy, and in spite OF the most outrageous
districting bill ever passed by Legislature
to gerrymander a State Greeley and
Brown are 20. 900 votes stronger 10 Ohio
to-day than any man upon our State ticket,
and hence, five do our duty, the State can
be carried Ike whirlwind in November
That our success on Tuesday is not delu-
sion, but real and substantial, is evident by
comparison with amy vote polled during
the laat ten years, and hence We have ev.
cry reason to move forward with confidence
and hope to the final conflict in November
Even without Ohio in November, the cleo
ton Of 6reeiey and Brown Is substantially
assured, as will appear from consideration

The whole number necessary to choice is
