THE rOvEsEBER ELECTION.
No Signs Of Fatering IN the Liberal
Column.

The reports that have reached US from
the great political centres since the recent
elections, show no signs of dependency
among the opposers of Grantism, but on
the contrary their determination to con-
tinue the contest with confidence of
victory. Gen. Brinkerhoff, Chairman of
the Liberal Republican Committee in
Ohio, sends out an address saying:
1t has been conceded upon all hands that
the loss to Grant in October of either of the
three great central States then voting would
be victory for Greeley in November.
Indiana is ours, and Ohio can be made
ours, and it only remains now to gather
promptly the fruits of victory.
Ohio has done nobly. Grants majority of
10000 in 1858 has been cut down TO a beg
carly ten or twelve thousand upon the first
onset. We have carried eight members of
Congress out of twenty -one-a clear gain of
three from the stronghold of the enemy,
and In spite of the most outrageous district
ing bill ever passed by a Legislature to
gerrymander State.
Greeley and Brown are 10000 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 whirl-
wind in November.
The Cincinnati Enquirer one of the
great organs of Western Liberalism,
says:
Let no Democrat or Liberal Republican
intermit his exertions in Ohio on account
of the late election. Greeley can carry the
State. Our defeat on the State ticket by
small majority should stimulate our friends
| to increased eXertions in November, when
on a far larger vote they will prove effec-
tive.
The Chicago Tribune, Liberal Repub-
ican, urges its followers onward with
these stirring words:
ITO the Liberals of Illinois, to the Liberals
everyw here, we say: Go on bravely in the
path you have entered. Your cause is just.
-FOUR principles are as necessary to the
preservation of good Government to-day as
they were yesterday. 1t is still possible to
elect your excellent State ticket in Illinois.
We shall yield nothing in our zeal for Gree
ley and koerner so longsas there is a vote to
be gained, or an inch of ground to contend
for"
A special from New York says
The election of Hendricks in Indiana
| gives renewed confidence to the Liberals
| and Democrats. There is a much better
feeling to-day. Headquarters are confident
| of carrying the election. If the South stands
| firm, New York, New Jersey and Indiana
| are enough These are sure. Illinois is
ences which carried Indiana are much
stronger in Illinois. Senator Trumbull
| considers the State absolutely safe. Con-
necticut, New Hampshire, California and
! Nevada also claimed, but are not need
. ed.
Under the caption-'Keep up the
Fight"-the St. Louis Republican says:
| KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
| The duty most clearly and sharply re-
vealed to the opposition, through the smoke
| and dust of Tuesdays election, is that of
| maintaining the fight with undiminished
spirit and vigor. The battle is not ended
| yet; it is only begun in earnest. There is
| nothing then in the Pennsylvania result
| that Democrats and Liberals need be
| ashamed of or discouraged at; and there is
| much in the Indiana result to inspire con-
/ fidence and incite to a resolute maintenance
| of the contest. The Administration has
| taken herculean and most odious task on
| itself, in attempting to carry all the doubt
/ full States, both in October and November,
| by money and fraud. A bold front and an
| honest and determined endeavOr will defeat
/ Grant.
The. opposers of Grantism in Mississip-
pi will have seen that in none of the
estimates, is their State set down as es-
| sential to the triumph of the Liberal
cause. Nevertheless, none have more at
stake than they and they are not re-
leased from the obligation to do all that
human agency can accomplish to save
the State-and perhaps the cause itself,
Remember the lessons of 868-and II.
We repeat, everything is possible to men
who are RESOLVED.
