The great contention between the hepuo-
lican omee-holders and the people Is no"
drawing to . close. The evidence Is al NJ
and the country to pass upon the Issue,
which is, whether, BY change OF men anu
measures, there shall, at least, be Al opp0',
ruDity given for = change from the oaa
lines brought on by mismansgemsnt anu
misadminissratien of the public Interests ~
ne party in power. The great majority oi
he people desire only an opportunity 70
earn an honest livelihood, and their main
concern is not in the success Of any party,
out in the maintenance Of government
which protects life, liberty and properly .;
The loves. cost, and does not tend, BY its
policy and measures, to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer.
The Republican managers have ignomin-
ously failed in their efforts to obscure and
oervert the real and only issue involved in
hi. struggle for honest government BY the
substitution Of false party cries and caium
n.s. addressed 10 the passions and prey
c-s rather than 70 the reason OF men.
The result Is no longer doubtful. The
aai meu who have so long abused the trusts
con6dcd TO them by patient people will be
driven from power by the popular voice on
Tuesday next.
From the information in the possession OF
his committee based upon careful estimates
received from the various States, we are jus
ifird In claiming as sure, for the cause OF
reform, em 7odted in the national Democrat
Ic ticket 300 elec oral yotes-a clear major
ity of the whole number. In this estimate
We 90 no. include the electoral vote OF South
Carolina or Louisiana, which, If accorded an
election free from military interferapce, will
undoubtedly Cast fifteen additional votes foi
he cause Of good government. Besides
,hese votes we have every reason to expect
-eventy-one votes from States regarded as
doubtful. which, If cast for Tilden and Hen
bricks. will give them overtwo.th birds OF the
electoral college. In this estimate we do
not include the State of Ohio, from which
however, We have assurances of victory.
On the other hand our estimate comedies
to the Republican Office holders every State
IN which by their power of patronage and
their reckless use of illegal expedients they
rave any reasonable ground of claiming
slccess.
The committee feel that the day ofredemp.
tiou draws nigh, when our beloved country
will be fred from the embrace OF corrup
lion: when equal rights will be restored 10
all classes of citizens; when the government
will be honestly and economically admins
tered: when the burden of taxation will be
lightened so as TO BE- tolerable when the
national credit will be upheld and strength
ened: when the shackels of commerce will
be stricken of and prosperity. so long a
| stranger within our gates, will once more
take 10 its abode in the homes of American
| freemen.
Ii only remains, therefore, for the COM
mittee TO make this final appeal to their
fellow citizens to use all possible precau-
| tions 20 prevent frauds in the election by
which the will of the people may be defeat
ed and 10 exercise the great privilege and
the supreme duty Of freemen by casting
! their votes for the cause of reform in suct
overv helning nnmbers as will for the com
Ing century render impossible the resurrec.
ton of the corruption and improvidenct
which have dishonoied and impoverished
he country during Republican rule.
TIE victory thus achieved will be the tri
umfh, rot of any party or sec
tiou. bu. Of the whole people
vind dcatipg their own honor and assur
| ing their rEn welfare.
