THE EDITOR OF THE "srAATs-zE1TUSe."
Hermann Raster, editor Of the Stats
ZeitunJ, being present, was requested to
state his views, and did so as follows:
Mr. CHAIRMAN AND REPUBLICANS OF ILLINOIS:
belong to the Second District, but Ibelieve

comes to Presidential election, single district

France when the usurper Napoleon, instead of
beheading his opponents sent IT. them 9 Oh 70 h @ry
Now, this election will be
DRY CIVIL WAR;
no blood will be shed, hope, at least in the
ern ones. The issue will be just as Important
and the two sides will be just Us closely and
sharply defined, as they were twenty.ye ago.
In the contest think the principal considcra-
ton must be, not to carry the election at all,
but to carry it with such an overwhelming ma
jority as to crush ont IA al SopPositon We % don'f
We want ut least 10-by-5 President. Laughter
Now then, my friends, the question with the
Germans who are rerHrf1ad na Very~ cOld-tl

mans, the principal question Is this: which one
Of all the different candidates that have been
efes ST IN ta ho
Electoral vote from tie Southern States, every
date viii tel as wci In n N moral sense because,
though it is the Electoral vote that elects the
President. the popular majority will decide

to this game it is clearly indicated that they
one Of the gentlemen from tho interior, heard
reference made to statesman who had carried
the contest in Maine In favor Of the Republican
developed in Maine, but know that there WINS Il
without GEN. Chamberlain all Of the statesmen
Of MGine would have gone to the bottom. {Ap-
Plause:1 don't like to see man take from
the hat Of another the feather which tells of the
victory he won. [Applausc.]
CHAMBERLAIN CARRIED MAINE FOR THE REPUB-
LIlAN PARTY.
It was he that stamped out rebellion there, and
not Mr. Blaine fApplause, and cries Of "That's

As to the other point, mentioned BEFORE
wish to say this: that the Germans thlnK,

election would not only NOT be doubtful, but there
would be a certainty Of such au overwholin,,
