Ohio and the National Struggle
Of 1850.
That this country approaches a
crisis in its history no intelligent
student of history and the affairs Of
men can doubt. The recent Grant
demonstrations are potent signs that
cannot be misunderstood. AH their
Significance is acknowledged by but
few. The late elections prove clear
lly the existence in the Republican
party of a sectional element that is
inimical to the good of the whole
country. The large proportion, of
business men, both North and South,
are anxious for the restoration Of
amity and good will between the late
contending sections. In the tempo
rary revival Of the party of sectional
hatred they see threatened renew

policy of the Republican party is an,
Itagonistic to free institutions, and all
the power ofthe party is today be-
ing exerted TO subyert and destroy
them.
What can be done to avert this
danger? What can be done to assure

forever bury any plan Of q Dictator
ship? With New York, Indiana and
the South, the Democracy have the
Electoral College. But may notsome
of the Southern States prove unrelia-
Bile? The Democracy are by no
means confined in their hopes to the
States we have mentioned. New
Jersey is sure, and Connecticut rea-
sonably so, in the Democratic column.
And it is easy to add Ohio to the roll
of States that will cast their votes
for the Democratic nominees. How?
By placing the name of 0hio's popu-
lar Governor on the National Ticket.
Richard NJ. Bishop can carry Ohio
The last election demonstrated that
he had clements of popularity about
him well known to the people, but
ignored by the political managers
There is no manin Ohio whocould poll
so large vote as Governor Bishop,
A man without an enemy, his up
right administration of the high Of
flee to which the people of Ohio call
ed him two years ago has endeared
him to substantial element Of the
community which will vote for him
without respect TO party lines. His
social qualities add another and by
no means Insignificant element Of
strength, while his business acquain-
lance and commercial record are
such that he is as strong in our
neighboring States of Indiana, Ken
lucky and West Virginia as any
man that can be named. And his
history is familiar, and he is beloved
in all these States. His candidacy
will cement in one unbroken column
the Democracy of the Buckeye State,
and will add its twenty-five votes in
the Electoral College to the Democ-
racy.
The avenue to success is opcn-thc
way is clear. The Democracy of
Ohio should not be slow to see what
their political associates of other
States look upon as self.evident, and
should move forward as one in advo-
cacy of the man who can restore
Ohio to her proper position in the
galaxy Of Democratic States. They
know that the exalted character,
clean hands and upright life of Gov

that noblest Roman of them all, vii

ter who values commercial integri.
ty, personal honesty, and an upright
public career. The handwriting is
on the wall. If the National Democ.
raoy desire success they need per-
form bu: one act to secure it-let
them place tic name of Richard NJ
Bishop on the ticket for 1880, and
Ohio will be added TO the long roll of
Democratic States.
