about to see the country oscillste bacI
flor the time being toward Mr.. TILDEN.
But two things can prevent this, it says
the one, an "outburst of race enmity
and bloodshed at the South" the other
bold demand by Mr.. HAYES, that th'
assessments Tor political purposes, which
are being pushed to the extreme limit
shall be stopped. The Republican fur
ther says:
There can be no question that the re-
cent nominations OF Adams in Massa
chusetts and Hubbard in Connecticut and
Robinson in New York-all three mark
ing progress, and all three known to have
been desired by Mr.. Tilden-have made
an impression on the public mind. There
can be no question that the advocacy OF
Mr. Tilden by such representative
anti slavery men and Union men
as Adams, Bartlett and Bird OF
our own State, Trumbull and Pal.
mer of Illinois, Julian Of Indiana,
Austin Blair of Michigan, and others OF
like record and quality, has deepened
this impression and given many almost
persuaded voters pause. The publication
of the Fitzpatrick letter and the nomina-
tion of Gen. BaIler are on y two out OF
number of occurrences that have not
benefited the Republican canvass, to say
the least. Chandler Il Go. are deliber
ately evading an act OF Congress
and repudiating, in advance OF the
election, the reformstory pledges oi
the party and the candidate
This at time when all the
intelligent Republican correspondence
from Indiana and Ohio betrays anxiety
closely verging on alarm. Undoubtod.
ly, the blunder of the Republicans OF
the latter state in heading their ticket
with the name of an eX-crusader has
much to do with the disatiection OF the
Germsn-born votors. But if the Repub'
llcan party comes to grief in the October
States, the over.working OF the "bloody-
shirt" the lowering and degrad-
ing of the whole tone of the
canvass by the men at party headquart-
ers, will count for ut least rs muck in
the catastrophe as the opinion of Local
nominees on the lager question.
The Chicago Tribune exhibits this same
anxiety. 1t is prepared for defeat insl In.
diana, and for fearful cutting down OF
maiorities in Ohio. Concerning the lat
ter state 1t says:
1t is likely that the Republican mana
gers in Ohio understand their business
much better than persons ut distance
can do, but nevertheless it should not b(
forgotten that the Democrat is voter b,
profession. He rarely omits voting, NJ
matter how largely he may be in The
minority. To this facility in getting GU
the party strength the Democratic party
owes manys victory over too confident
and too negligent Republicans. 1t Ii
well known that Ohio has been more
thoroughly canvassed this year by the
Democracy than ever before.
1t says that "every possible effort Il
making to have full Democratic vote
in October" that it is urged that "there
is 8 prospect of success; that there Is
large detection of Republican Germans
and that the temperance party will dra"
largely from the Republican party" II
proceeds:
The hard-money Democrats in Ohlc
are all united for Tilden, and both wings
will vote solidly for the State ticket II
October. 1t will not be safe, therefore
to count upon any serious indifference OF
neglect on the part OF the Democrats n
the matter Of voting, and any Re
publican, who abstains from Vot
| ing under an idea that th'
Democrats intend TO let the election &c
by default; and that the Republican ma
iority is too great to be IN any danger o
being overcome, will make sad mistake
Ohio, upon full vote by both sides, cur
elect the Republican State ticket IN octo
Der by 10000 majority. If the majority
in the State be less, tie falling OF viii
measure the over-contdence OF the Re
publicans, and their consequent neglsc'
to vote.
1t will be seen that while the Tribune
does not give up Ohio, it comedies. s.tha'
the tide Is the other way. We shall ae'
cent of Ohio with thanks, ifit is received
but rs it is..by no means essential to sue
cess, failure to redeem it will prove nc
Encouragement.
OF Indiana, ex-senator TIrToN writes;
FRANKFORT, IND, Sept. l..
Dear SRI have seen enough o!
Indiana to say to you, that the Chair
man of the State Central Committee says
they will carry the State for Williams
for Governor by more than $4,000 votes
Senator Mcdonald is of the same beliet,
but puts the figures higher.
/ have seen nothing like this since
lS4O-such wonderful activity. We are
here in aid of the Democrats from Ne
brasks, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Wiseon-
sin, Virginia. Kentucky, Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio and other States. The
Republicans are here from Maine to Cal
ifornis. am very truly, &c,
L. w. Upton.
The last resort of the Republicans is tc
colonize negroes from Kentucky, and t'
import bsllot-box suffers from Philadel
phia, the worst governed city in the
world. These desperate devices will fai
them. Indiana is sure. Ohio wavers.
