CINCINNATI, Sept. EX-SENATOR Schurz made
long speech here to-day, in which he said
But before proceeding to discuss the issues
of this contest, 1 owe you preliminary state

represented as part of concerted plan tc
lead independent voters of the country into
the ranks of the Republican party, and com
NIT them to support its candidate IN the
Presidential election of 1876. That story is

not only do not seek to commit anybody
else as to the Presidential election of 1876
but do not mean to commit myself l re-
serve to myself entire freedom of judgment
in that matter, to be exercised when the ext

NV relations to the Republican party are
not secret. / have deemed it my duty as a

He says the success of the imitation party in
Ohio will be the signal for the general charge
along the whole line to submerge the best
