ADDRESS
STATE EIECUTlYE COMMIT AE


meeting Of the Democratic. Conservative
Executive Committee, after the October
elections, to congratulate you upon the
aspect Of political affairs in the State,
and in the Onion, and also to address
you a few word. Of counsel 10 reference
to the approaching election.
The October elections have demonstra.
ted that tho AQreut and drift Of public
opinion have SET in strongly and steadily
in favor Of the election Of the ST. Louis
nominees and the consequent rescue Of
the Government Of the Union from the
corrupt and wastcful hands which have
controlled it for the last eight years.
AS compared with elections in former
years, since the war, in which Presiden.
tial elections have been held, the gain to
the side Of reform has been steady all
over the Union.
Indiana and West Virgin, have been
wholly redeemed, and that their votes
will be cast for Tildcn and Hendricks is
now as certain as any future event can
be.
Ohio, the homo of the opposing candi.
date for the Presidency, has been barely
saved to The Republican party by mea-
gre majority, after one OF the most ex.
cited and holly contested canyasses ever
witnessed in the Union. a change Of
one vote in each hundred votes cast will
give the State 10 Mr.. Tiden. Under
the inspiritiug influence OF our i'm.
proved prospects, our friends in Ohio
are CALAMITY struggling to carry the
State in November.
Colorado, feeble Territory, wholly
governed by appointees Of the Federal
Administration, Notwithstanding the first
reports to the contrary, if it has been
carried at all by the Republicans, goes
by very small majority.
Recent town elections in Connecticut
show large gains for the Democracy over
the large majority by which the State
was carried in the spring.
Delaware has also increased her major.
ity for reform and good government The
elections in Georgia, Arkansas and
Alabama, indicate that there is really no
serious opposition IN those States to the
election of TiIden and Hendricks.
Oar friends in New York, aided by
many OF the best and purest men in the
Republican party, are assured that they
Will carry the State by a largely increased
majority
No doubt is now entertained that
California, Oregon and New Jersey will
vote the Democratic ticket. In the last
named State, recent election in an i'm
portant city, shows very large Democratic
gains
1t IS confidently believed, by many of
the wisest and most sagacious statesmen in
the country that the prestige gained by
the Democratic party in the recent elec
tons, will secure US the vote of some. if
not all, the States of Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The prospects in the South are equally
encouraging.
Our Southern sister States, which have
been already redeemed from the curse of
Radical msrulo are not likely again to
cntrust the destnies of their people to
the party which they have so recently
rejected; and those which are vet under
Radical rule, are making such efforts for
redemption as must certainly succeed.
There can be no doubt of the vote of any
Southern State, except, possibly, South
Carolina, and even there the chances are
decidedly in favor of our success
Truly the day of deliyerauee seems 70
