Democratic State Executive Committee
Of Ohio has issued the following address:
To TIE DEMouRAcY. OF ONO: The re-
sult OF last Ttesday's eleption shows
that Ohio was lost by the failure 70 poll
as is the fact, Justice to the Liberal Re-
publicans and an earnest desire to re-
trieve the misfortune require US to
unite in our chief towns. Tho Liberal
strength exceeded our most sanguine
estimate, and in the country it fell short
of the aggregate vote Of Liberals in the
city and country who voted our State
ticket. This, added to our Democratic
vote of 1885,. would have overcome the
Grant majotity at that election and the
Democratic vote combined, and given US
the victory. Can wo repair the mischief?
We can. Four-fifths Of the Democrats
who stayed at home last Tuesday can be
induced to vote for Greeley in Novem-
ber. Those who will absolutely refuse to
go to the polls will be counterbalanced
in numbers by those Republicans who
went against us last Tuesday, but will
vote for Greeley. We have only to poll
our usual Democratic vote to snatch
from defeat a glorious victory. Liberals
stretch forth the hand; shall We refuse
to take it? The PROSTATE and plundered
South cries out for help; shall we be deaf
to their appeals? By Greeley's election,
we can restore prosperity and good 60
vernment to tho Sonth, kind feeling to
the now hostile sections, honor and
honesty to the civil service, respect for
the Constitution and laws to the Ma
tlonal Administration. Gould we expect
more with Grant in the Presidency?
Gould swe expect the cooperation in
Congress- which Greeley would com.
mand? Are patriotic Democrats willing
to lose all the bene6csnt results of o
victory, out of personal hostility to
Greeley or disgraoeful lethargy? Are
Ohio Democrats ready to lat our great
and proud State become debauched and
hopelessly subjugated, like Pennsylvania,
by hordes of meroenaries, paid by public
plunder? Democrats, your union with
the Liberals in Ohio has not been fruit
less. It has given Hamilton County by
near 5000 majority, which secures the
Constitutional Convention and the Le-
gislature, and United States Senator.
Should both Ohio and Pennsylvania go
for Grant, the chances are still in favor
Of Greeley's election. If Connecticut,
New York, New jersey and Indiana are
added to those border and Southern
States which are certain for Greeley, this
will give him clear majority. We have
already, by a glorious and aggressive
fight, forced the Grant party to its knees,
und can conquer it in November. Eel
low Democrats, work till November,
heartily and hopefully. The Liberals
will take care OF themselves. Let the
Democratic County Committees get lists
of those Democrats in the cities and in
the townships who failed to vote last
Tuesday, and direct their efforts to them.
Bring out this vanguard vote. and the
fight is won in Ohio and the Grant Be
| publicans beaten.
The Liberal Republican Committee
has issued the following address:
The smoke of Tuesdays battle has
cleared away, 80 that We are now able to
report fully results. We have met an
army of veterans, flushed with years OF
victory, and supplied to repletion with
all the weapons that o party in power
could furnish, with all the resources oi
o great Government at command, and
yet in our first onset victory crowns our
banners. It has been conceded upon all
hands that the loss to Grant in October

and Ohio can be made ours, and it only
remains now to gather promptly the
fruits of victory. Ohio has done nobly

are 20, 900 votes stronger in Ohio to-day
than any man upon our State ticket
and hence, if We do our duty, the State
can be carried like whirlwind in No
vember. That our success on Tuesday
is not delusion, but real and substan
tial, is evident by comparison with an,
vote polled during the past ten years
and hence we have every reason to mov'
forward with confidence and hope to th'
, final conflict in November. Even with
out Ohio in November, the election o
Greeley and Brown is substantially as
