have joined in an address to the peo-

OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE Us.
TIE TINE FOR WORN.

ISt. 10. OaZcttc.J
Only two weeks now remain untii 'hc
election, and those two weeks must pe
utilized, and work must be putin. Dem
ocrats who are for Tilden and Hendricks
must show their faith by their works.
A vote against county nominees Is Il
vote against our national nominees. ohe
vote more or less will not count much
for Tilden. But it will be ever u Joy Tor
YOU in this veal to have voted the DEM
ocratic ticket without Il scratch.
The republicans will have glory
enouph ifby our dissensions they can
Gain some of the county Offices, OF de-
feat some of the regular nominees. NO
democrat can afford to throw his vote
against a regular democratic nominee.
II is monstrous to think that at the
crisis of IN election canvass there shouid
be those who call themselves democrats
who will play into the hands OF the
enemy.
The watchword from now until sum
down of Tuesday, November 9TH, should
be, .WOrk for Tie nominees" see
your democratic neighbor and argue the
G,estion with him. What can be gala
| ed in this presidential year, when inc
Grand old party is about TO take control
| of the government, by voting agalnss
your party's choIce?: Now is the time to
show your loyalty and regard tor demo-
cratic usages and ~precedents. Reniem-
Der, if YOU did not obtain your first
choice that party discipline would be at
an end, and no hope for il change in the
government. if for that reason you may
bolt the regular nominations. Do not
cease to be democrats, but work from
now on for each and every one OF the
nominees.
1t is sad to see any democrat willing
to lend himself to the radicals as an OPP
ponent of the regular nominee of his
own party. The uniform tendency oil
| such a. course is not only to affect in
~iuriously the political status of the party
himself, but to disorganize the party OF
which he processes to be Il member. we
deprecate the policy as not only unwise,
but wrong in principle and wrong IN
practice and we would therefore again
appeal to every member of the demo
cratic party to stand BY his ticket in this
canvass, whatever may be his persona
feelings. Do not drop one of them iron
the list, even though you may not in
tend to vote for another in his place. DC
your duty UelI. 1t will not be MOroMgh'
ly done unless you vote the whole ticket

WASHINGTON, d. c. October 23.-Lieu-

Ohio, and Collector Weitzel, Of Cincin-

Centennial" Young threw the radicals
into great CONSERVATION. In a CONVEX
sation with Il friend he made the state
ment that Tilden was Just a. likely to
carry Ohio as Hayes, and Judging from
the way in which the tide was turning he
believed that Tilden had the best chance.
This information from one so closely
allied with Hayes vas carried to Chan
dler, and the champion political assessor

The republicans are manifestly troubled
with torebodings Of their defeat in this
state. They complain that the work OF
the campaign is not pushed with suff-
cient system and thoroughness, and fear
losses in their old strong-holds. The
trouble is that their worn wal cries fail
to arouse the people, and they cannot
hide their party's offences by falsehoods.
The people of this state are not to be
humbugged by such acts, nor do they
hesitate to make president a governor
who has practically proven to them his
purpose and ability t. effect reform.
The republicans find their canvass in
New York hard uphill work, because
the voters distrust them and believe in
| Gov. Tilden.-TN. Y. Sun.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

The pacific measures amount simply
to a tactic prolongation of the six weeks
armistice on the protest OF Russia; but
there is no apparent cessation of the war
preparations by Turkey and Servia, the
latter meaning Russia. There is an evil
dent increase of excitement among the
people of Turkey and Of all the tributary
provinces. The advantagesare in favor
of the diplomacy OF Russia, whose power
of commanding the situation will be in
| the main financial, the total impoverish-
ment of the country o sustaining the
war against the invasi II of the Turks
being a positive means tor Russia tC
take complete command of the situation
whenever she chooses to precipitate Il
reneral war,

With the subsistence of the excitement

With the subsistence of the excitement
of the fall trade the hope of permanent
revival in business affairs has almost
disappeared. There is great depression
now among the merchants in New York
in almost all branches of commerce, and
the fact that the failures of this exceed.
by more than one one-half, those OF the
corresponding period Of lS75,puts rather
a gloomy appearance upon the situation.
The proclamation OF martial law in
South Carolina, and the movement OF
troops from the Atlantic seaboard OF the
south, necessarily attended by enormous
expense, has not merely effected the
markets for southern products, but cast
a gloom over the entire mercantile
community.
