"under date OF October IS, 1854. the
Chairman andSecretary OF the Democratic
Executive Committee OF Ohio issued n
libelons and indecent address, in which
they seek TO reconcile the extrayaunut
predictions made by them prior to the
election with the election with The un-
Pleasant. facts since developed by their
Illuminating defeat. In this whining cir.
cular they adopt tho old stratagem OF the
cunning rogue and cry stop thief 10 di.
vert a'tenton from their own rascally
methods and thwarted attempts to defeat
the honest will OF the people. They dc.
nounce fraud to divert attention from the
expensive schemes for tho perpctration OF
frauds which were detected and rendered
imperative by Republican vigilance.
They condemn the alleged undue use
OF money TO divert attention from
the fact that they expended the enormous
sum Of S275, 600 to corrupt the voters OF
Ohio. They charge General w. W, bud.

as ever stood on the battlefield, with re-.

gangs Of Democratic rufians, driven from
the polls and hundreds OF them thus dis

were arrested on false and frivolous
charges on the morning OF election day

closed at night, and from the further fac,
That prominent white men, among them
Bishop J1ggar, Of the Episcopal church,
General Adams and +. Il. SpraeMe, were
challenged by Democratic plusuglies and
not permitted to vote.
They alirn that r. 900 votes were cast
IN Cincinnati. This statement is absolute
~. false. There wore but 5S,694 votes
nolied in that city. BY their lying figures
they seek to convey the idea that there
were more votes cast than males OF voting
