Gently and shamelessly repeated in an ad-

ing against and at the same moment perpe-
trating frauds, made possible by the ioosest
election laws existing in any state in the
uni n, and which were purposely retained In
force by democratic judicial outrage. It is
apparent from these results that II republic
cans do not relax their exertions every north
ern state will choose republican presidential
electors, while not improbably some southern
states will give their votes for Garfield and
Arthur.
ct II members necessary to make the next
house republican, the republicans have al
ready gained In Oregon, Vermont, Ohio and
Indiana, and the result is reasonably certain.
Six senators necessary 10 make the senate,
with the vice-president, republican, will prob
ably be secured from the states of Ohio and
Indiana, already gained, and from Pennsyl-
vania, New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, yet to elect them. With the inaugura-
ton Of Garfield and Arthur all branches Of
the government are likely to be republican
once more. Republicans, however, need to
be reminded Of remaining dangers. The dis
appointed democratic leaders will not shrink
from desperate acts to prevent full republi-
can success. They have majority in both
houses of congress, claim full power over the
final presidential contest and hav steadily re-
fused to secure peaceable and orderly deci-
sion of doubtful result. Let no possible
effort be spared to make the republican ma
jority on the electoral vote so large as to avert
the perils of disputed counting, and the ma
jority in the next house of representatives so
decisive that there can be no conflict in its
organization. BY unremitting exertlons,such
as have secured the brilliant achievements in
Ohio aud Indiana, the republican party can
defeat the purposes of the reactionists who,
in order to gain political power and patron
age are willing to unsettle the results of the
war for the union, change the financial and
revenue policy of the government, deprcciate
the national currency and jeopardize the
thriving business interests of the country.
Republican success will, on the other hand,
firmly establish throughout the country free
and honest ballot, protection to life and prop
erty, we'll paid and contented labor, activity
in all agricultural, manufacturing, mechani-
cal and commercial pursuits. and will make
the states of our union prosperous and pow
erful beyond those Of any other nation.
I}y order of the committee,
MARSHALL JEWELL,
Chairman.
