Democratic address From, Ohio.
State committee has Just issued the following
address:
To the Democrats of Ohio: The result of
the election just held in Ohio and Indiana,
while disappointment to our reasonable and
Just expectations, Is by no means q loss irre-
trievable, even to the Democrats of Ohio, and
should have no other effect upon the national
contest than to stimulate the Democrats of the
whole country to renewed and more determined
effort to elect Hancock and English in Novem-
ber. In these local elections the Democratic
party has been compelled to contend not
against the Republican party of those States
alone, but against the organized capital and
machinery of the Republican party of the whole
country, as we'll as the whole power of the
federal administration, with its repeated ASSESS
ments on fan army of federal officeholders and
power against the Democrats of two States
aided by the use Of the federal machinery of
supervisors and deputy marshals; by importing
repeaters, white and black, to swell the vote to
unprecedented numbers, in many places fer
beyond the census showing of male citizens
over 81 years; by intimidation and coercion by
employers on employees, thus robbing men of
their sacred right of free manhood suffrage; by
raising and spreading false issues and alarms,
as rebel claims, business threats, putting the
party in false position the tariff; and
above all, by the most lavish and corrupt use of
money ever known, shameless by buying out
right when other influences failed-they have
succeeded in showing small gain over the
last election. But against this power the
Democrats of Ohio had rolled up a solid vote
of nearly $50, ,000-the largest they ever gave
for the maintenance of liberty and constitu.
tional government. Though apparently out
numbered, this defeat, if it is not indeed
victory it is surely grand achievement, and
one that ought to encourage every Democrat
and conservative voter to stand steadfastlY by
the great principles of free government, for
which we ever contend, and to renew with
fresh courage the fight against corruption and
that centralizing tendency which. unless ar
rested, will surely put an end to free elections
and wrest from the people their control of the
government. Then will be realized the hopes
and purposes of the chief among Republican
leaders-the destruction of local self-govern-
ment and the establishment of gov
eminent controlled by ian oligarchy of
wealth, a step towards permanent i'm perialism.
Such combination of money and federal
power as was made last Tuesday against the
free ballot and manhood suffrage cannot take
place in our State in November, and but for it
the Democrats would have won decisive vic
tory. Democrats of Ohio, you have seen many
dark days. Devoted to the union of States, de-
voted to the principles of liberty and free inst-
tutions, contributing more soldiers to the Union
army than your; your opponents. you
duced, misunderstood by honest but
preiudiced men and misrepresented by un-
scrupuious demagogues, but in all these
trials you have maintained your integrity.
Defeated one year your vote has increased.
You have been greater in adversely than your
foes in their ill. deserved ascendency. You are
the bulwark between despotism on the one
hand and anarchy on the other. You are at
the same time the truest friend of national
progress and the frmest friends of national
conservatism. There is not one idea that ever
gave freedom to human being that had not
it's origin in Democratic principles.
Every man, the world over, who to day finds
his social and political condition better than
| that of his fathers, owes that fact to Demo-
cratic ideas, hence so long true progress shall
| be made among mankind our policy will be in
destructible. 1t knows no such word as sur
| render. It is the national party of free insti.
| tutions. and only when they fail will it fail.
Although our State ticket was unexceptionable,
nevertheless Hancock is stronger by thousands
| in every State than the strongest local ticket
| Indisna left to itself in November,
will be recovered by the Democrats. New York
| and New Jersey are sure. Connecticut is
| scarcely doubtful. Maine has already spoken.
| New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada, California
| and Oregon, on the great issue of free govern
| ment against centralized power, ought end can
/ be brought to the side of the Democracy. 1t
remains for the Democrats of Ohio but to do
their full duty, to place even Ohio in the col
umn of Democratic States in November. Only
add to the votes Of Tuesday last the votes
that might have been cast then
and the work is done. Come every
voter to the polls. Our leader is worthy the
| cause he saved, the Union, and with it free
| government. At Gettysburg he upheld the
constitution and the principles of our govern
ment. In Louisiana and Texas he championed
| these great principles. Now rally to his
standard on the I'd of November, every Demo-
cratic voter and every lover of popular gov
| ernment, and he will be our next President,

cratic State central committee, and J. F. NC
