did not effectuaily annihilats the business
life of the country; now, when on the one
hand Heaven sent harvests, and
the Democratic party put .
stop to their criminal profigacy,
driving some of the thieves, like Belknap,
into exile and retiring others to private life
and eternal ignominy; now, after their in
famous record is read and known of all men,
they come forward with falsehoods
that shock Heaven. and, with an
lmpudence as imperturbable as noun
tain of brass, claim to have
lnaugurated q revival of business and
an era of prosperity. The people OF Ohio do
not believe them. They know that their
professions are as false as q desert mirage
They have been deceived, and thousands
have been ruined by the policy they now
seek to exait, because the ruin OF all
was not accomplished. Ohio Democrats and
Nationals are uniting for the overthrow of
the common enemy. The outlook brightens.
The organs of the Republican conspirators
deal in cheap bravado. They fly the bloody
shirt on every stump. They labor to arouse
deep and deadly sectional hostilities.
They would have union of lakes and q
union OF lands, but no-1nion of hearts nor
union of hands. They would build the fires
of their accursed hates on every elevation
and in every valley, from the center to the
circumference of the country. They dig up
dead issues and seek to rehabiiitate them
as if, instead of peace, war was still raging.
They dig up dead soldiers and rattle their
bones as slogans to call men who cherish
hates to battle. But all of these things are
failing them in Ohio. There, as elsewhere,
the people want peace, concord, good will,
fraternity, honesty, economy, liberty and
the right. General Ewing and General Rice
grow in patriotic stature as the campaign
proceeds. Brave men and great men, they
comprehend the wants of the times. They
grasp the whole country, North and South.
Their policy is In harmony with the great
interests of Ohio and of the country. Their
opponents, Foster and Hickenlooper, are
seeking to destroy the fruits of the war.
conciliate. They would have the people to
believe that the South is not a part of the
Union to enjoy the rights which the consti-
tuition guarantees-and, as consequence,
they are the enemies and not
the friends of Ohio or of their
country. We are glad to believe that they
can not succeed, and that, as the day OF cleo
ton draws nigh, the Democratic party and
the friends of constitutional Government
of all parties are rallying to the standard of
Ewing and Rice.
