Solid South and the Democratic party by foic-
ing q new set of issues upon the country
The extra session, the revolutionary schemes
and threats, and the appeal to Democratic
passions and prejudices, have demonstrated
the fact that this line of attack Is certain 10
end in defeat that it disgusts and ailehales
many Democrats, and wins no Independent
or Republican votes. The South, vexed because
this course has aroused public opinion at the
North and united the Republican party, shows
n strong disposltion TO leave Mr.. Thurman to
crawl out of his blunder as best he can anu
meanwhile transfers a hearty sympathy "
General Ewing, who is not only sincere anu
earnest himself. but represents nearly al
there is left in the Democratic party Oh posi-
tive conviction on any subject Inc "reou
back Democrats are in earnest; the Iepu"i-
ators are in earnest the silver fanatics are
in earnest. Apparently the rest OF the parry
is merely hungry.
The Republican party has good reason 10
rejoice that the contest has taken this shape.
OF IFS ability to defeat Mr.. Ewing and the
in0ationists and repudlators, in such fair and
omen contest as his nomination promises,
there is no room to doubt. In every election
thus far in which the Republicans have con-
tended for honest money and public falth,
they have carried Ohio although they have
had against them the blind partISansmp OF
all the hard-money Democrats III the state.
In the coming struggle, no Democrat who
believes in public faith or honest money can
doubt that the financial question Is para
mount, as General Ewing asserts. 80 long as
the party was led by men who had no CON
victions that they were not ready to sell, u
WAS possible 70 believe that candidates OF the
Tilden or Thurman sort, ii elected, wouid
cheat their soft-money supporters. But living
believes in the dangerous hercsles he adY0-
Gates. His success would not only put an ehd
TO the chances of Messrs. Tilden and Thur
man. but il would convince the Democratic
party that it could succeed only by ilingihs
away all DISCUSSES and rejecting all com
promises Ii would leave 10 fOOthold III the
Democratic party for an Eastern hard-money
Democrat except as an avOwed mercehary
and spoils-hunter 1t will be strange, under
such circumstances, if Democrats who are not
ready to become open repuGIators 90 hoV
take occasion to check their party by making
the defeat Of its candidate more sure. Inc
self-interest of other Presidential candidates
Will also have its influence. Men who do not
want to see Mr.. Tilden OF Mr.. Thurman
sbelved will take especial care that General
Ewing and his friends shall not succeed III
Ohio.
