Cincinnati Gazette
The Democratic managers in this State
and in the whole country recognize, this
Ohio election as a decisive action il the
Presidential campaign, The Republicans
also recognized that this election was the
turning, point, and would decide whether
the gpSefnment of the nation should pass

rency, and all the settlement OF the issues
Of the wag-be put into the hands Of heir

in jeopardy by an attempt to seize the
Presidency by a revolutionary act, or, at
best, the country torn with disputed eloc-

should be rescued from all these, perils,
and given assurance Of keeping III its
course Of recovery and prosperity and
public security.

steady industry in the Democratic party,
although bound by the fierce deapotism Of
their party, must think better for the
country.
We suppose that there Is no man, other
Republican or Democrat, who thinks this
Republican revival merely sporadic, and
that there is any, likelihood Of its falling
back. We suppose that both parties per-

evidenceSof whatis going on allsover the
North, and are convinced that the tide
will sweep on, We suppose that in both
