up to destroy the Government and capture
its Capital, and prevented the record be-
ing made upon the pages of history that
the United States were divided States.
EFUniOn soldiers of the late war, [ ap-.
peal to you, shall these States be divided,
whether it be accomplished by refusing
supplies to the government officers in
! command at Fort Sumter, or by war, or
! by Congress refusing to make the neces-
! sary appropriations that the laws of the
! general government may be enforced
| such Congress being controlled by the
edicts of King CanCus, and such caucus
! controlled by the Brigadiers and Generals
| of the late rebel army.
''NO, by the memories of Bunker Hill
and the sUfferings at AndersOnVille the
Union formed by our fathers, and de-
| Tended by the late Union soldiers; 'let no
man put asunder.' The principles /
fought for on the field of battle against
the mouth of the cannon, l am ready to
! contend for and defend at the polls against
| intimidation and tissue ballots.
''Put me down for Foster, a sound cur
rency and national supremacy.

The Cincinnati Enquirer figure up from
a Democratic standpoint the complexion
| of the next Legislature, and of course
! makes a verY satisfactory showing for IFS
party. For the Senate it claims twenty
members, without Hamilton county. To
/ do this, it will be necessary for the Demo-
! Gratis to carry the Second, Third, Fourth,
| Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Twelfth, Fif-
! teenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eigh-
| teenth, Nineteenth, TWenty-firSt, Twen-
| ty-eighth, Thirtieth, Thirty first, Thirty
! second and 'Ehirty-thiFd. 1t must be re-
membered that while these districts went
| Democratic two years ago, it was at a
time when the State was carried by that
party for BispOp by over twenty thousand
majority. The vote of 1873 materially
changed some of of these Senatorial dis
trIcts. For instance, the Sixth District
elected Mcdonald, Democrat, by 352 ma
jOrity, while the counties comprising it
Highland and ROSs-gave a Democratic
majority last year of only 3O2. The Sew
enth district, composed of the counties of
Adams, Jackson, Pike and SciotO, gave
DUNCAN, Democrat, 947 majority, while
last year the same counties only gave 513
Democratic majority. The Twenty-first
district two years ago gave Sherrick,
Democrat, 500 majority. The same cOun-
| tieS-Stark and CarrOll-gaVe on the
Republican State ticket, last year, 750
majority. In the Thirtieth district, Par
ker, Democrat, had 459 majority. Last
year the same cOunties-EFiG, Huron, OF
tawa and SandUsky-gave only 158 DEM
OcratiC majority. In each of these dis
tricts there is a fighting chance for the
Republicans-they are not by any man.
ner of means certain for the Democracy.
In the House the Enquirer comedies the
; following counties, with forty Repre-
sentatives to the Republicans: Ashtabula,
Athens, Carroll, Champaign, Clarke,
Clinton, Columbiana, CuyahOga, Fayette,
Fulton, Gallia, Geauga, Greene, Guern-
| sey, Harrison, Huron, Jackson, Jeffer-
son, Lake, Lawrence, Logan, Lorain, Ma
t honing. Medina, Meigs, Miami, Morrow,
t Portage, SciOtO, Summit, Union, Warren,
: Wood. On the other hand, it claims for
: the DemOcfats, as sure the following
| counties sending fOrty-fOur Representa-
tives: Adams, Allen, Ashland, Auglaize,
S Belmont, Brown, Butler, C1ermont, Co
| shOctOn, Crawford, Darke, Defiance and
Paulding, Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin,
| Hancock, Henry, Hooking, Holmes, Knox,
| Licking, Lucas, Marion, Mercer, Monroe,
Montgomery, Muskingum, Ottawa, Perry.
q | Pickaway, Pike, Putnam, Richland, San
S dusky, Seneca, Shelby, Stark, Trumbull, 3,
Tuscarawas. VintOn, Washington, Wayne,
| WyandOt. In the above list are included
| two from Trumbull and two from Stark.
Last year the former county gave ?, ,147
| Republican majority. It also claims Della
ware for the Democrats. Among the
doubtful counties the Enquirer classes
n | Erie, Hamilton, Hardin, Highland, Madi-
Y son, Morgan, Noble, Preble, Ross, Van
Vert and Williams. OF the above F'dOubt-
| ful'' counties the Republicans last year
q carried Erie by ~ votes; Hamilton by
s 1854; Hardin by 1872; Morgan by 12S,
and Preble by 1919. The Democrats car
ried Highland by 147; Madison by a ;
Noble by SO; Ross by 155; Van Vert by
e 9S, and Williams by IL.
Upon the above basis of figures the
Enquirer declares that it is absolutely
impossible for the Republicans to carry
the next Legislature.-C Columbus Dispatch,
