VIII you permit a jealous Republican t.
express his views through your columns
on the Senatorial contest in this District
for warfare that is wsged to destroy or ad-
vance the interests of any man or set o
men. But love my country, and would
guard 1t against Democratic ascendeucy, ns
1 would my bouse against the torch of the
incendiary. The Republican party saved
the country in its hour OF peril. 1t devised,
inaugurated, and executed the great inan.
cial measures that have finally brought US
back, not only to honest money, butto indi.
vidral and national prosperity.
The salvation OF our Government, for the
last nineteen years, has depended upon the
defeat Of Democratic men and measures.
have helped it in my humble way, to
achieve these victories, glorious alike for our
party and our country. In all these years
I have seen no time when the welfare OF
our country more imperatively demanded
the success of the Republican party, than
In this campaign. The Republicans of
thirty-seven sister States look anxiously to.
wards Ohio and ask: viii you elect Fosterj!
VIII you carry the legislature, and give US
Garfield for Senator in the place of Thur
man! What reply shall we send next Tues.
day 10 these anxious cnquirers? What do
questions of a personal character, that are
improperly thrust into this Senatorial
contests What difference does it make to
the party at large whether Wadsworth is q
forger, a liar, or q crusaderY It is enough
that he Is . Democrat; that he is in favor of
Democratic measures; that il elected he will
vote to retain Thurman in the United States
Senate; that he will use his influence to
perpetuate the present corrupt and partisan
administration OF our charitable iustitu-
tions. While II Horr is elected, whether he
has stolen ten factories and q thousand
dairy farms; whether he has robbed Q hun
dred widows and five hundred orphans, or
not, he certainly will be iu favor Of Repub-
lican measures, of the proper reorganiza-
ton of cur charitable institutions, and the
election of Garfield to the United States
Senate. No one questions Mr.. Horr's fidel-
isy to Republican principles and to the Re-
publican party; on the contrary, no one de-
nies that Mr.. Wadsworth is a Democrat;
that he always has been and always will be
a Democrat.
The one would vote in the legislature as
1 would il there myself, the other would
vote exactly as l would not vote. 1 am
choosing . man to do this important busi-
ness for me. Shall I choose one who will
represent me, or q man who will repre-
sent my political enemies, aud who will
vote exactly contrary to my wishes, at least
upon every questions of a political charac-
ter?
believe Mr.. Horr to be . pure man Of
unblemished integrity; but even II did
not, 1 should still vote for him, because he
fairly represent me and my wishes in the
State legislature.
On the other hand, d. L. Wsdsworth,
whatever else he may be, is certainly Demo
crat, dyed In the wool, and of course is not
In any sense proper man to represent me
in the General Assembly OF Ohio. Through
Mr.. Horr's election, will help to attain po-
litical ends that are dear t. me, and that
deem important TO the welfare of our
country. Should help Mr.. Wadsworth to
scratching Mr.. Horr, should simply be
helping to defeat Mr.. Garfield for the Uni
ted States Senate, aud helping to perpetu-
ate the disastrous rule inaugursted by the
O'Conor legislature. 1 shall do nothing of
the kind, and l am greatly mistaken
II even the few dissatisfied Republicans,
after taking the second sober thought,
will fully agree with me and we
shall present next Tuesday q solid and
unwavering front We cannot afford either
to listen to the lies of our adyersaries or t.
take counsel Of our own prejudices. We
are going to win. / feel It in the air, and
for one, am ready to burrsh for the ticket,
the whole ticket from Coroner to Gov
