The Leesburg Meeting.

The sudden illness of Senator
Sherman prevented his filing his ap-
pointment at Leesburg last Friday,
but the meeting was addressed by
Hon. W. ". Curry, formerly Secre-
tary of State of Indiana, in a speech
of two hours, which for strong, logic
al argument, clear and concise state
ment and forcible illustration, could
not easily have been surpassed. The
day being very cold and disagreeable,
the meeting was held in the open air
for want of hall, the people being
compelled to stand, but the speaker
succeeded in holding the fixed at
tention of the crowd from the begin
ing to the close of his very able and
unanswerable speech. Hisexposure of
thefolly and wickedne SIS of the dema-
gogue cry of 'More Greenbacks"
was one of the clearest and most
convincing that has been made in
Ohio during this canvass, and we
wish it could be reported in full, and
read by every voter in the State.

The Democratic Meeting.

The Democratic "Grand Rally" in
this place last Saturday, was not
such demonstration as the leaders
expected to see, and it was evident
that they were greatly disappointed.
The crowd was not more than half
as large as that at the Republican
meeting the Saturday previous. The
weather being quite cold, the meet
ing was held in Music Hall, which
was at no time full. We should say
probably 900 Or 700 people listened
to the speeches, while the rest of the
crowd scattered through the
streets.
Gen. G. W. Morgan was the big
gun" of the occasion, but his speech
did not come up to expectations, and
we have heard several Democrats
say that it was not to be compared
to that of Hon. II. L. Dickey, of this
county, delivered in the Court House
atnight. Hon. ]. I. Follett also spoke
in the afternoon.
At night Hon. H. L. Dickcy and
Col. Loudon made speeches in the
Court House. We did not heal
them, but understand that Colonel L.
undertook to reply to the able and
conclusive article entitled "Where
Shall the Liberal Coz" published in
the News several weeks since, from
the pen of leading Liberal Repub
lican of this county, (H. M. Huggins
Esq.) We regret that Mr.. H. was not
present, as he would probably have ia
vored US with a rejoinder to the
Colonel's speech had he heard it.

a Word TO Old Fairfield.

The meeting at Leesburg last
Friday was mortifyingly small, con-
sidering that Senator Sherman had
been announced to speak, and was
certainly expected. We know that
the weather was cold and disagree
able, and the farmers busy, but these
were not sufficient reasons to excuse
such small gathering in that Re
publican stronghold, Especially to hear
such distinguished speaker as Mr..
Sherman. The Republican County
Central Committee, by great effort,
secured the promise of the State
Central Committee that Mr. Sherman
should come to Leesburg, and but
for his unexpected illness he would
have filed the appointment. but the
Republicans of Fairfield would GER
tainly have been ashamed had he
been present, to have him address
so small crowd. We hope this
mortifying failure will arouse them
from their apathy, and that from
this time to the election they will go
to scork, with q determination to re-
deem themselves by rolling up a
round 200 majority for Hayes and
the whole State and county ticket.
We know they can do it if they will
try. The Republicans of the county
confidently expect cold Fairfield
to do her d,ty.

[For the News
The Danger of Democratic
Ascendancy in National
Affairs.

Mr.. EDITOR sensible writer
in your paper of last week comes to
this conclusion: ''The destiny Of
our country cannot be safely trust
ed to the government of the Demo
cratic party"
The refusal of the South to re-
nounce the doctrines of State
Rights, as maintained before the
war, which made that war possible;
the doctrine of State sovereignty, as
against the supremacy of the Nation
al government; leaves unsettled
nearly all the issues of that war. The
restoration of that Government to
the hands of the Democratic party,
in effect, is the triumph of that re-;
bellion which cost so much blood
and treasure to put down.
The South will be the controlling
element of that party, and will die
tate its measures, as the price of its
support. The Democratic party Of
the North has never renounced the
right of Secession, as the true in
depreciation of the Constitution.
The Democratic party ignores and
repudiates the amendments to the
Constitution. What follows, but q
renewed struggle and agitation to
repeal the amendments-to undo all
that has been done by way of set
tlement and reconstruction-thus
retarding and setting back much
that has been done?
There is another point which
should not escape our attention. The
restoration to power of this party
renders the whole rebel war debt
and the rebel claims for emancipa-
ted slaves equally obligatory on the
nation for payment. If Secession
was right, the war was wrong. The
logic is short, which makes the Ma
tional government the aggressor, and
liable for the damages to the seced-
ed States.
Here, then, would be a fine open
ing for the Pendleton, Thurman and
Cary issue of ''greenbacks." Is this
what they are providing for in part
How much will these increased bur
dens improve the condition of the Ia
boring poor man!
Then will the struggle for power
in the States for Congress be inten-
sifed seven fold, with renewed eff
forts to carry closely balanced States
by violence, Ku Kluxism and fraud
Thus will immigration be set back
all permanent improvements be
checked, and the nation be launched
upon a sea of troubles of which WI
shall never reach the shore.

Encouraging Crop Report.

According to the reports in the
Agricultural Department at Wash
ington, the condition of the wheat
for the country is 80 per cent ofa
full crop. This would not be sup
posed, we presume, by those who
have lost from one third to all their
entire crop, by rains in this vicinity.
The oats crop of the country is un-
usually large; barley nearly an aver
age; potatoes doing well-a big
crop in prospect; tobacco 20 per
cent. above the average!-largest in
the best tobacco States. The wool
clip, also, shows a large increase
over the yield of former years.
So, that it would seem, notwith-
standing severe losses in certain 10
calities, taking the country over, the
bounteous Lord of the harvest, has
magnifcantly crowned the year
with increase"

It is certain that we have the vo-
ters to give Gov. Hayes that MAORI
ty, if they can be brought to the
polls. To that end, then, let every
Republican direct all his energies
from now till the election. Public
meetings are well enough, and should
not be neglected, but quiet, perseyer-
ing, indigidual work, to make sure
that every Republican does his duty,
by voting on the day of the election,
is absolutely essential to success.

GAS goes Maine SO goesthe Union,
is an old saying, which no doubt will
hold good this fall. She led off last
week in her election, and the result
was a complete Republican victory,
though the majority was not as large
as usual, owing to the lack of excite
ment. The Governors majority will
be about 5000, and the Legislature
is largely Republican in both branch
es. There was but one Congressman
to elect, to fill vacancy, and Gen.
Plaisted, Republican, was elected by
about 1000 majority.

Imitation writers and orators have great deal to
say about the 'era of prosperity when money
was plentiest" and men had plenty of employment
at high wages during the war. II it we're not
matter that was constantly dinned in our ears, 1t
would be beyond belief that any man capable OF
writing or speaking would dare assert so foohsh
thing. 1t is true that all men had employment at
high wages during the war, yet it was the most
ruinous era in our country's history. Two million
men were drawn from productive industries 10

course, and were paid well for doing it Mean

second term in Congress, for which he rendered no
services at all, he having resigned and Gen. Gary
being elected to fill the vacancy.-lClermont Sun
Gen. Hayes second term in Congress commenced
March 18th. 1861, when the Ssth Congress expired
by limitation. Congressman are paid By the gear,
as the editor of the Sun knows very we'll but takes
care not to tell his readers. Consequently Gen
Hayes salary as a member of the 40th Congress
commenced March 4th, 1851, and he had right to
draw his salary from that time to Dec. 1861, when
his successor, Gen. Cary, took his seat-Gen
Hayes having resigned after his nomination for
Governor in June, 1861, and Cary being elected as
his successor IN october following.
