New York, Oct. 15.-The n. .ip,.!
Democratic Executive Commlhc.
met to-day and issued the following:
To Democratic and conservative
voters of the county: The election
of President 10 now before you;
State and local disssnsions are de-
tracing from the issues of the day.
The magnitude of victory or defeat
can only be estimated by ti'p force
and means employed in securing it.
BY fraud and corruption the people
of the country were defeated III their
purposes in &c, aud the right!ully
elected President was kept from
Office. With the combined capital
of the Republican pa ty, aided by
repeated assessments upon an army
of off .eholders; with the power Of
the Federal Government represented
by United States Marshals at the
polls; with intimidation, fraud and
resort to every corrupt appliance
known to Republican methods con-
centrated in two States, our adver-
sarles have succeeded in procuring
the probable return of their local
candidates, Can it be possible thai
in every State throus hout this broad
land the same methods can be
brought to bear that were used by
the Republican managers in Indiana
aud Ohio? Can the great States
of New York, New Jersey, Connec.
ticut, California, Colorado, Nevada,
and New Hampshire be bought, in
Inundated and defrauded? Even
without the vote of Indiana, which
we believe will be redeemed in No
vembel, with New York, New Jer-
sey and'States that are already con-
ceeded ia US, including Maine, the
election of our candidates is assured.
The Republican party have put in
nomination for President men who
by the admission of their own party
s,d nress are unworthy of your con-
L.pnce and your suffrages. 1t is
impossible that fifty million intelIl-
gent and patriotic people will con-
semi to place themselves upon the
Inundated level thus prepared for
them by Republican managers. Eel
low citizens, toe first days result at
Gettysburg ended on the third with
Hancock in front i'll glorious victory
and secured US our Union. The
question is not now the preservation
of the Union but of Constitutional
Government. Hancock is now, as
then, in the front. Repulse is now,
as then, an omen of victory which
will scure to coming generations the
inestimable blessings of civil liberty.
By order National Democratic,
Committee.

The Wind and snow Storm in wiscon.
Milwaukee,, Oct. 1S.-The wind
'-s;; sorfn Esfs yesterday ana last night
wa5 the seyerest ever known in this
section. The barometer was never
SO low, the wind from the South
blowing between 60 and 10 miles an
hour. Dispatches from Lacrosse say
that the storm along the line of the
Southern Minnesota Railway was the
severest known in years. Passen-
GSrs and fseishs trains along the
lines are blocaded in snow drifts
from ten to twelve feet deep, and
trains with provisions have been dis
patched to their relief from several
points. The train which left La
Crosse Friday is not yet heard from
since leaving Fulda that night. All
cuts West of Paramount are filed
with snow packed hard. Reports
OF cattle, horses, ETC., having per-
ished are constantly received. Loss
OF human life is not yet re-
ported. The worst storm ever
known in Southern Minnesota and
Eastern Dakota, is still raging.
Wind continued throughout the
day with somewhat less force, and
was far less disastrous on the lakes
than might have been expected, be-
cause sufficient warning had been
given to allow most OF the craft to
seek harbor. The only accident of
a serious nature reported is the loss
of the schooner b. ". Wells, Captain
Thierkauff, laden with iron ore,
from Escanaba to Chicago, with a
crew of eight persons, which foun-
dered off this port last night; and
as none OF the crew have reported, it
Is presumed that all were lost. Its
masts and spars were sighted this
morning, but no trace of any of the
crew. Damage by the wind will az
gregate very heavy in this vicinity.
The force of the wind seemed most
marked about the space included
within radius Of 100 miles from
Chicago, but the blow itself extend
ed much farther, Omaha being about
the Western limit, Michigan the
Eastern, Central Illinois, Southern,
and Wisconsin Northern. Telegraph
wires remain in a precarious condi-
ton. Many of them are entirely
useless at present.
