cence. The Local Option law does not of
course affect that license. But il does pro.
hi6it its sale as a beverage. p
There Is nothing in (which can possibly be
construed in opposition 70 the manufacture Of
cider or home made wines. No license has
ever been required for this purpose.
We respectfully ask you to vote for this law
for the following reasons:
LIST. Because the licensed liquor traffic has
filled the land with drinking houses, which
demoralize, impoverish and destroy the hap.
piness Of the people.
End Because il is the cause ofthree fourths
OF the crimes, poverty and disease that aifliet
the country. LIFI
Ord. Because il consumes our substance,
encourages idleness, aud is dsturber Of tho
peace.
4th. Because il increases our taxes and
burdens until they are well nigh ,rbelrable
9th. because il fills the ,Iails, Penilentiary
and Alms'Houses with drunkards pauperl
and criminals
9th. Because il Is destructive OF everythin,
that Is good and encourages everything tina
is evil.
Ith. Because It is the means Of leading oul
youth astray, destroying their manhood, an,
OF making paupers aud criminals Of them.
9Th. Because i is the greatest enemy to th,
progress Of the Church.
9TH. Because II is the ally Of the arch enc

October Elections.

Both Of the two great national parties Of
the country have received a check on the
skirmish line. The Republicans who ealcu.
lated on fifteen thousand majority in Maine,
were set back with the loss Of the State, and
the Democrats, who calculated on seven thou.
sand majority in Indiana, have lost it. In
Maine the great Republican organizer, Blaine,
did his best, and in Indiana Hendricks inAu.
enee failed. Those States have RENTED the
struggle back to the whole nation, and put an
end to the fashion Of one State with all its
local questions and personal popularities Of
candidates being made the pivot on which
should turn the election Of the Chief Magis.
tra.e Of the nation, aud the settlement Of great
national questions.
The Democratic party will go into the fight
in November without scar Of which its op.
ponent has not also received the mate.
The Indiana check will have no more eject
on the Democrats ia the November election
than did the Maine defeat on the Republicans
in the October elections. In two weeks the
effect will be forgotten like that OF Maine.
But The Democratic chances, when the people
vote directly on their candidate, are far better
than the Republican. 1t is conceded on all
sides that Hancock is the strongest OF the two
candidates, as far as popularity in their own
parties is eoncerHsd. He will run ahead Of
his party strength in every state in the union.
la November there will be nothing between
him aud the direct vote Of the people Of In
diana, no local causes, no petty jealousies
there will be no concentration Of the whole
strength Of the Republican party, Gen. Grant,
and government influence on Indiana, as
there was there this week. The federal infu.
ence on elections will have to be spread out
thinner over wider territory, and Indiana
which belongs TO the Democratic line will
resume her place then.
The effect on the Democrats Of the country
will be the same that Maine had on the Re-
publican party, they will be stirred up TO a
more vigorous prosecution Of the campaign
and our readers will witness the yerifcation
OF this in less Than week. Stanton, Va,
Findieator.

The Democratic party ofthe United States
expects that those who profess its faith in this
State will, from this hour, until the polls are
closed on the day Of the Presidential election,
devote themselves to the business Of the can.
yassi aud that they will sec TO il that every
Democratic vote in their respective election
districts, or precincts, is cast on that day
In the State of Indiana, at the Presidential
election of 1876, our party secured majority
Of 5000 votes out Of a total vote 421 800.
At the late election, the present Republi
can administration, aided by the managers Of
the Republican party, reversed this majority
by the fraudulent exercise OF official power
and by corrupt use OF money.
The Democrats Of Indiana will set right, 10

this State to take care that our great Demo

Let the fact then be enforced upon the
mind Of every Democrat that the prospect is
bright even with Indiana against US. We
have not now, aud never have had The slight.

be recorded FOR General Hancock. With a
united Democracy in New York, we are sure
Of thirty-6ye votes there, and the very bright

The fusion in Maine will give as votes there.
While active campaigning must be kept up In

Our esteemed contemporary, the Nation,

This episode 10 Gen. Grants career is a
very painful one, because, owing TO The con.
spicuous places he has filed, his fame has be.
come to a certain extent identified with that
OF the country, which thus suffers from the
steady process Of degradation which he has
been long undergoing at the hands of bis poll.
teal supporters. His appearances as q loose
and reckless campaign story teller is the long.
est step downward he has yet made.n
The last sentence Of the Nation appears to
us TO be erroneous. Grants appearance as
reckless campaign story teller is indeed de.
plorable; but il is by no means such long
step downward Us his appearance 10 the Bah.
cock whiskey fraud trial. In that case, as
the public will remember, Gen. Grant as
President Of the United States obtained from
Secretary Bristow, privately, tho particulars
Of the evidence to be produced in court against
Babcock; and then he went and communicated
i to the defendants COUNSEL, in order that
they might use it to save Babcock from con
Victiou. This act indicated much more seri.
GUS degradation in Grant than his telling any
