Extraordinary Inducements Oh.
fered.

one of the most exciting periods in the
political history of this Republic On the
14th day Of next month, the people of
Ohio will elect Governor and other State
officers. Heretofore, parties have been
very evenly divided there, which, together
with the important influence which the re-
suit is to have upon the great Presidential
contest of next year, gives the contest
national interest, and its decision will be
regarded with deep concern in every nook
and corner of the Union. Two strong
tickets are in the field, and the battle is be-
ing waged with vigor which shows that
each party fully appreciates the prize for
which they are striving.
In November, the great State of New
York will elect a Governor, State
officers and Legislature. This
too is contest of the highest National i'm
portance. The Democrats fer several
years haye been in the ascendancy there,
but they are now disturbed by internal
dissensions, which, together with the dis
advantage at which they are placed by
being held responsible for the policy inau-
gurated by their leaders in Congress, gives
the Republicans great encouragement.
This, together with thorough conviction
of the Righteousness of their cause, in
spires them with courage and confidence,
and they are determined to contest every
every inch of the ground with that resolute
purpose which animates true and tried
soldiers fighting for the dearest and most
cherished principles. The result in that
State will be looked to all over the Nation
with an interest never before felt in a State
election. The giants of both political par
ties, all over the Nation, will take part in
the contest and the issues involved will
be ably and thoroughly discussed.
Elections will also be held in November,
in Iowa, Wisconsin. Nebraska, Minnesota,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. In each
of these States the two great political par
ties will put forth their best efforts, and re-
suits will be looked to with extraordinary
interest
On the first Monday in December Con-
gress meets again, and the session promises
to be one of extraordinary interest. The
leaders will contend with each other for
the vantage ground upon which to make
the great political fight of next year, when
President is to be elected and new Con-
gress to be chosen. Every man who feels
any interest in politics will desire to watch
every step of the preliminary struggle.
Already an intense interest is manifested
in the Presidential struggle of 1880. Both
parties are on the alert, wide awake
to take advantage of whatever
the leaders may imagine to be con-
ducive to their party soccess. Early next
summer the National Conventions will be
held, and full tickets placed in the field,
when the work Of the canvass will begin
with vigor never surpassed in any SINH
lar contest in the history of Presidential
elections. Never before has a greater in
election, so far in advance of the time at
which it is to be held, than now exists.
In addition to the national issues,
| around which will centre so much of pub
lie interest, in Tennessee we will have a
State election next fall. Without any
sort of exaggerstion, this will be the most
| important of any ever held in the State.
The population wing, which is a majority
of the Democratic party, is msrshalliDg its
hosts for a final charge against the credit,
honor, integrity and good name of the
| Volunteer State. If they succeed, we are
ruined and disgraced. They propose tc
place in the field full ticket for Governor
and members of the Legislature, com.
posed of men committed to the policy Of
repudisting large proportion of the State
debt They will be met by the State
credit men, and desperate effort will b.
made to rescue Tennessee from the contro
of those who would bring upon her ever
lasting ruin and irretrievable disgrace. N
Tennes:eean can fail to feel a deep interes
in the result of our next State election.

events, every intelligent man in the Uniol
wants to read regularly at least one live, re
