ADDRESS or THE NATIONAL DEMoCKAitU I,. 1>'JU GOM1
,Sirrpp TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
The October elections are over. They enable us to
form tolerably accurate idea of the true political
situation of the country.
In Georgia we have to recount "a victory for the
Liberal ticket so unexampled as to take her out OF
the list of doubtful States, and practically to pro-
oupoe in advance the decision of at least % votes
in the Electoral College To this number it is only
necessary to add sixty votes to elect Greeley and
Brown.
In Pennsylvania the distinguished Chairman ot
The Liberal Committee has elOquently characterized
the methods by which the result OF the election
there was accomplished. We commend his statement
to the thoughtful attention of the country.
In Ohio despite most unprecedented gains for the
Liberal Democratic ticket the Grant managers nave
carried the election by reduced nlaJorly' h"1Ihs
brought to the polls their entire reserve vote au
orr Democratic friends in certain localities OF that
great commonwealth shown the same earnestness
and activity. and enabled us like our enemies
10 record our entire strength. they would
now be exulting over q brilliant victory. In
Indiana the Democratic and Liberal forces have
achieved most important success over PennsylVa-
MIA tactics most unscrupuously employed by the
Administration and its allies, showing thus that free
people when aroused know their rights and dare
MAINTAIN taem. lnulana mas lallly utlnOoti"VVu
that she can neither be bought nor bullied' The
moral of these results is that victory is still in plain
view for our national ticket, and that energy and
courage viii assure it, That victory must be won.
If we mean to preserve free institutions on this con-
tinent we must assure it.
The event in Pennsylvania on Tuesday last, when
considered in its causes, is the most appanng pOHu-
cal catastrophe that has ever taken place IN tins
country Should the system through which
this catastrophe was brought about be con-
doned by the people and f0isted on the other
States it seals the doom of freedom in Amer
lea A sad contrast it is surely that the city in
which our republic was born amid the anthems of
free people should now be the first to toll the knell
of its liberties. 1t is for the free unbOueht people
Of all the States to calmy review the fearful clme
against suffrage in Pennsylvania, and TO decide
whether it shall be repeated within their own bor-
ders.
For the first time the system of free government
and the sanctity of the ballot really trial in
the United States. From this hour forward the
preservation of the franchise in its integrity dwarfs
all other issues.
Let our friends in each of the States catch inspira
ton from the heroic conduct of our felOw-citizens
in Georgia and in Indiana; and from now till No
vember let their struggle be manful and unceasing
for liberty and an untainted baIlot-box, for Reform
and an honest Administration of the Government.
AUGUSTUS SCHELL,
Chairman National Democratic Committee.
