Words OF Cheer Prom Ohio.

The Democratic Executive com
mittce at Washington has been re-
ceiying words Of cheer from Ohio.
Up to the present time the Democrats
have not shown much disposition
to make an aggressive fight in Ohio
this fall Indiana has chiefly en-.
crossed their attention, and the de-
termination exists amongthe leaders
to carry that State by an Increased
majority over 1875. But late reports
from Ohio are Of such a hopeful char
acter that the question ofgiying the
Democracy there assistance from the
outside is being discussed. Informa.
ton recently received from Garfeld's
district proves that the Republicans
there who demanded his retirement
in 1874 and 1876 because Of his con.
nection with Credit Mobilier and the
DeGolyer paving contract, will not
vote forhim for President. Garfeld's
majority fell from 2o,985 in 1872, to
1859 in 1874, aloss fS,4o9. Hayes
majority over Tilden in Ohio in 1876
was 1915. The German vote of Gin
cincinnati it is reported, WILDE cast
largely for Hancock, and there is
every reason to believe that with a
good organization and determined
effort tie State can be carried by the
Democrats.

Every voter in the land should re.
member that the Democratic party
is the party of economy and reform.
Since the Democrats have had con-
troll of Congress they have saved to
to the taxpayers of the United States
over one hundred millions Of dollars.
When Hancock is President, and
both houses of Cogress Democratic,
there will be still greater saving to
the people. Expenses of all kinds
will be cut down, and millions of
dollars saved each year. Remember

No intelligent voter can read the
figures presented below without
grasping the solution of the problem
as to why the South is arrayed in SOL
id phalanx against the methods Of
the Republican party. That party
for years has upheld the carpetbag
governments in the States formerly
in secession while they plundered an
already impoverished people, and
piled debt upon debt, until the whole
country was plunged into a great
financial panic. Even for years after
the people had arisen and voted the
carpetbaggers out Of power, the Re.
publican party by means of the bay.
onet and the returning boards kept
the thieves in high places Of trust,
until the South was almost entirely
eaten up by the ravenous crew Of
Statesmen who thrived under
Grants two administrations. These
figures represent the load Of debt the
South is carrying until this day.

TlIe OutlooIt.

The political outlook, SO far as the
Democratic party is concerned, is
most favorable from all points that
we hear from, and within the past
week We have heard from all points
Of the compass. The North is alive
and active; the West and East are
|laBoring day and night; the South
will be solid, while the enthusiasm
in all sections has not been equa1led
since 1862. The people are at work,
and are far in advance Of either the
politicians OF the committees. They
are tired Of Radical misrule, extray-
agance and corruption, and they
(the people, are absolutely ''howling"
for reform, retrenchment, and q
change of party control. They ap-
parently shout with one voice that
twenty years is long enough for any
clique to control and administer
their affairs They want q change,
and are determined to have one.-Er.
Col. John W. Forney, one of the
ablest and bravest Republicans in
the United States is dealing sledge
hammer blows for Hancock. After
Garfeld's nomination, but before
that of Hancock, he said some kind
things Of Garfield. Recently in ex-
planning his reason for supporting
Hancock he said he had not been in
Washington five times in ten years
and had but little knowledge of the
corrupt career Of the public men,
and none of the actions of Garfield.
He then goes on to say:
"What it is all men know now,
and if | reyolted from it, it was be-
cause / found it different from what
| honestly believed it to be. General
Garfeld's accusers were not Demo
Gratis. He was brought to the bar by
his own party, by the Republican
press and the Republicans ofhis own
county, by the Republican commit
tees OF his own Congressional district,
by the Republican Congress of which
he was member and by a Republi-
can court ofjustice.' Had this record
been known at Chicago General Gar
field could not have been nominated.
Full information enables me to speak
by the book when | assert that there
was not Republican leader of any
note, equal to those on the ground
to Stay and those who came to save
Grant, that did not admit, on reflect
ion, that Garfield's selection was a
|blunder and that that blunder was
worse than a crime.

The wheat crop of the present
year, taking the aggregate yield
throughout the United States, prom.
ises to be unprecedently large. By
some the crop has been estimated as
high as 550,000,000 bushels, but ac-
cording to the New York Tribune it
may be safely set down at not less
than from 4S0,000,000 to 100000
bushels, or from 100000 to 100000
900 bushels in. excess Of the great
crop of 1879. If this estimate should
prove correct there will remain a
surplus for export in excess of the re-
verse held back for seed and con.
sumption Of about 200,0O00O0 bush.
