OuR pemocratic frienda have Two aold.

Our Democratic friends have two sold
iers at their head. We henored them
in the war. But the question to-day is,
which flag are they marching under

: Phey are marching under the flag that
waves over States, and has inscribed
upon II free elections and fair juries.
They are not marching under the ban

JOHN SHERMAN has concluded his little
campaign In Maine, and probably thinks
his overpowering persuasi venees has set
tied the election result in that State. He
never lacked cheek. In fact, If cheek
would pay the National debt, John could
wipe out our public blessing with a sin.
gle draft and honor it himself. But this
wonderful cheek will accomplish moth
ing in the Maine election. In no State
in the Union are the people more averse
to his financial policy, and the exhibi.
tion of Sherman to an audience which
has been suffering all the ills which his
policy has inflicted, is like Haunting
red rag in the face of an already infuri-
ated bovine Columbus Dem. A.

JOHN SHERMAN's Portland speech gets
more Censure than praise. The Repub-
liCan papers of New York depounce it
as Enthusiastically tricky, in treatment
of the silver question. The Greenbacker
of a few years ago is not exactly the man
to denounce greenback theories of to day
as reputation. The Cincinnati Enquirer
rakes slippery John in this fashion;
"His tribute to the Republican party,
which constitutes his peroration, is the
height of impudence. at never robbed
the ballot.box" He himself went down
to Louisiana and stole whole State, rob.
bling the ballot-box of about ten thousand
votes. at has always taken sides with

prived any class of people, for any cause,
of the elective franchise" Three years
ago it deprived the people of three States
of the elective franchise, because they
voted for Tilden electors. This, in ef-
feet, deprived the people in thirty eight
States ofthe elective franchise. "It has
done more than any other party to pro.

The Republican papers say Ewing and
Rice were not much Of heroes during
the war, though Ewing always meant
business, and Rice left limb behind.
The Democrats are more polite and fair,
admitting that Foster was nero during
the days Of the "onpleassntness"--a cal.
leo hero. For was he not selling calico
at advanced prices during the war;

CHARLEY GRosvEEoR says: "Ewing'a
campaign will be snowy, and brilliant;
he is the best nomination the Democrats
could possibly have made" Charley
Foster says Of Ewings candidacy; Il
think it was the best stseleCtion that could
have been made. He will poll q larger
vote than any other candidate could. He
will also attract the largest Greenbacls
vote to the Democratic party" The two
Charleys seem to agree as to the strength
of the man they talk of defeating, but
how they expect to get away with him is
past finding out C0shocton Dem.

AFTER Ewing's nomination, the Re.
publican journals predicted the Ohio De.
mocracy would have poor show for
victory, as the Eastern hard money wing
would render no assistance. Now thew
are positive Gen. Ewing and the rest Of
the ticket will be defeated, because Sam.
uel ]. Tilden, they inform us, and other
Eastern Democrats Of means have con.
cluded to contribute to the campaign
fund. Ewing is troubling our opponents
and his able speech will give them addi-
tionsl trouble, on account Of the solid
facts therein.

Itis we'll known that Charley's battles
were not where rebel bullets few. He
left such battles to such Union soldiers

ground was Fostoria, where he welded
