DEMOCRATIC FRAUD IN OHIO.
The Democratic party have felt the crowd
ing pressure Of public sentiment, nnd fully
appreciate the growing certainty that the
Republican party will elect Its candidates in
November, and that tho people will again
discard md reject tho Democratic party.
Desperate circumstances call for desperate
measures, and the latest and most desperate
Of oil tho frauds ever attempted in national
elections is TINT agreed upon by the Demo-
cratic party and to bo executed by the DEM
ocrats of Ohio. This fraud ia to mako tho
issue between T1hpEN aud HAYES in that
State on the Ganlo grounds which were taken
last year between ALLEN and HAYES, TrLpEN
now to be held up as holding tho same viows
as ALLEN did last Year. 4 greater and
more scandalons fraud never disgraced po1it-
ical desperation. We yesterday published
I'M authorized report of IN interview between
our correspondent and Con. ToM Ew1xo, at
Columbus, O., on this subject, in which
EWING boastfully stated the purpose of tue
party, and clai.ned that the fraud would ena-
bio them to carry the State Of Ohio in Octo-
bor and ngain In November.
arately, and we have no doubt with the full
consent Of T11DES mud the managers Of tue
party generally. Already, Old WILLIAM
ALLEN has announced that TupRN's letter Of
acceptance isa statosmanlko paper, in which
he fully agrccs with tho Democracy Of Ohio
in opposition to resumption Of specie pay
ments, opposition to any contraction Of tho
currency, and in favor Of the repeal Of the
Resumption law, and in favor OF maintain
ing m outstanding issue Of logal.toudcr
paper as will bs equal to the wnnts Of the
business Of tho country. Old Bril-. ALLEN
is to follow up this declaration by his per-
sonal appearance on tho stump in Ohio nd
vocatiug the election OF T1LpEa because Of
hin opposition to return to specie pay-
ments, and because of his support Of the
perpotuation Of tho deprecated greenback
