THE CINCINNATI NOMINER

THE CINCINNATI NoM1NER
The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is undor an obllQa.
ton to many machine" papers in various
parts of tho country for tho involuntary
compliment on their part contained in rabil
denunciationB of two statements recently
mnde In this paper. We therefore repeat
tho statementa:
l. Tho Democratic party ia reasonably cer.
tain of tho electoral votes Of oil the late
slavoholding Suites, excepting South Car.
olina; tAas in addition to these votes the
votes of California, Oregon, Connecticut,
Now Jersoy, ond Now York will givo The
Democratic candidate moro than enough to
elect him that whatovor circumstances
will lead to Democratic majority in Now
York will naturally lead to tho sa,no rcsult
in the other four States named TINT under
this condition of things tho State OF Nov
York becomes matter Of primo necessity in
the election Of O Democratic candidate, mak-
ing TINT State one Of the great batt1e.aelds
OF tho election OF 1876.
2. That the Democratic Convention will
meet ajEer tho Republican candidate shall
bo nominated; that the Democratic Conyon-
ton will bo governed in their choice mainly
oy tho consideration OF SUCCESS, and, know
ing tu1 well that i11DEN ean carry any other
state thnt my Democrat Gun carry, they also
know that he alone Of all tho Democrats can
promise with soms degree Of certainty to
carry the State OF New York. Therefore, On
the presumption TINT tho Democratic party
VIII act with ordinary common intelligence,
and nominate to win, 1t is fair to assume,
and the whole Democratic sentiment is
drifting that why, tho Convention will
nominate I11nEs'
LIE TRIBUNE has venturod to point out to
tho reckless and inconstderate Republicans
VINO thinh that anybody nominated at Gin
clnnhu must 30 elected, and that nomina-
lion l8 e4olValont to an election, that tho
nomination OF T1LDsN by the Democratic
Convention will derond for its SUCCESS upon
the fact whether tho man nominated at Gin
cinnati is one who will bo able not only to
carry New York against T1LpKs in Novom-
bor, but Who will bo able to curry Ohio in
October next. Last fall, at tho most aovere-
1y contested election over held IN Ohio, Gov.
HAYES, who is personally popular, only suc-
ceedca by majority Of less than r,cr cont
on tho whole vote; aud had not tho Cincinna-
ii Commercial and other independent papers
OF that State givon their support, or had b1r.
Souunz not gone to Ohio and SO arousod
and animated tho German independent votors
to the danger which threatened tho country,
1t is very certain tho State would have givcn
a largo Democratic majority. While Ohio
has been Republican State, Il is
not one that can bo handled by
machine politicians. Ono-third of tho voters
aro independent OF party; they are opposed
to machine politics; andn they havo choice
will not Soto for Preaideut who repro
sents machine politics, or who has bcon rart
Of the corrupt System which has made our
Civil Service national abominatiou, Ohio.
while 1t may be spared BY the Democrats, is
douoly Essential 70 the Republicans, Ohio
will vote for zctorm,-a Republican Reform.
OF IT possible; it not. then it will vote for
tho next best Reformcr TINT ia offered.
Ohio, moreover, has a preliminary election
In October next, and, while Republican
Victory at that election will add largely to
tho chances Of carrying New York in Noven,.
Der, Republican defeat in Ohio In October
will render defoat in New York almost cor.
thin, and turn the seale in all tho close States
against tho Republicans. Ohio. therefore.
is, as we'll as Now York, to be a great battls.
