manage who had large experience, great
earnesmess, and plenty Of nerve. In the
selection, Of Chairmen for County Committees
the utmost caution was exercised to secure
none but good men. The same care charac-
terized the organization Of Township and
District Committees, SO that it may be said
with truth that 10, 700 OF
THE WIsEsT AND MOST ACTIVE
Republicans Of this State have had the man
agement Of this canvass. In the selection of
county and legislative candidates the same
earnest effort was made to select none but
the most popular and energetic Now and
then a weak man has found place upon q
ticket, but as general rule the candidates
for all IMPORTANT offices have been chosen
with due regard to their running qualities,
Thus organized and equipped, the Republic
ans entered the canvass with the spirit and
zeal exhibited in 1860 and 1854. The selection
Of Mr. Porter has proven - -
ONE OF TIE MOST FORTUNATE NoANA-
TIONS
ever made. The choice of the Hon. Charles
Foster, in Ohio, was not wiser or more pop
ular. Besides being one Of the foremost law
yers and orators in the State, he possesses
those qualities Of the heart which, coupled
with the most winning manners, are calcu-
lated to place him In the closest and most
sympathetic relations with the people.
Wherever he has gone he. has made hun
dreds Of warm friends who win esteem it q
privilege as well as an honor to personally
aid in securing his election. The assistance Of
United States Marshal Dudley has also con:
'hibuted to inspire great confidence in the
conduct Of the campaign. His m ethods
adopted and so thoroughly carried ont to
ascertain who in the State have no right to
vote have been found more and more satis-
factory as the campaign advanced. At. the
outset the names Of persons arriving in the
State were sent in very slowly, and in many
localities there were none to send. Bnt as
electon-day draws nearer the lists are longer
and the puposes of the men have become
more evident. Tonight he has upon his
books 1850 names Of persons who have
entered the State since April 20, and, there:
fore, -,
HAVE NO. RIGHT 10 VOTE.
Thefe men are spotted, and any attempt on
theif part to exercise the right of suffrage
will RESULT their prompt arrest. It is such
painstaking work as this which has char
acterized the labor Of the various COM
mlttees. Another notable feature Of the
canvass has been the party's great harmony
and slngieness Of purpose For the first
time since 1864 no side issues have in
yaded its ranks, In 1866 the Andy john,
son split divided. its : leaders. Two
years later negro suffrage and reconstruc-
ton were stnmbling-blocks In 1871 came
the Greeley movement, while in 1874 the
panic, coupled with the temperance issue,
enabled the Democracysto take undfsputed
possession Of the State, In 1876 it was hard
times, the fear Of resumption, and the CON
tnued scaling of wages, which led to the
memorable riots OF 1871 But this year there
is nothing to divide or to weaken. On the
contrary, -. 80:
TEE DRIFT HAS BEEN TOWARDS THE RE-
PuBLICANs. 49,
Men who left the party in 1866 and 1872 have
returned. The Germans driven away by the
severity Of the Baxter temperance law are
back. Workngmen in large numbers have
voluntarily come to the support of Garfield !
and Porter, while in every county it is
matter of record that lifelong Democrats
have left their party organization and sought |
the better principles OF Republfcanism. The !
tariff speech of n. T. Depaw, of New Alba
ny, lifelong Democrat and the proprietor
Of giass-works which employ hundreds of |
men. has been a frebrand In the home |
Of the Democracy. He openly advised his !
men to vote for Garfield and: Porter,
stating that their own bread and butter de-
cock. The Influence OF this speech, sent into |
every workshop in the State, has been =
