In conversation with a large nnmDer oil
Democrats OF all shades OF party feeling 1t
WAS learned that never before has the prty
been more determined TO rebuke fraud by
carrying Hamilton county IN November.
IL Il argued that the party not only
owes il tn its individual members,
but should also protect its Indiana
brethren by making it so hot in this
State as TO render il impossible for the Re-
rublcans TO send their repeaters TO the
Iioosier State without endangering success
in Ohio. The result last Tucsdiy has
greatly encouraged the local Democracy to
renewed exertions. In the last twenty
wears Ohio has never but once given 50

elections. and has at the same contests re-
TUNED but about one third OF the Demo
cratic congressional nominees. rms wear

will be the sole guardians OF the ballot-box,

good round majority. IL Is probable

DAYS Ct all presidents OF Democratic organl-
cations in the county for the purpose OF
closing the ranks and taking aggressive ac-
ton looking TO victory in November. The
Democratic cause will not be allowed to

ccssary to secure triumph in November is
TO maintain the party strength aud prevent
Republican frauds.

and the pitiful smallness Of the Republican
m.ioritv became manifest. Local Demo-

were cast in this county, and that on an
hdre,t vote the Democratic majority would

lbere is general feeling that the county
and State can be redeemed In November.

| There will be an honest ballot and 4 fair

Democratic victory. II is almost certain
that the balance Of the State. missing the
Republican corruption fund. will show up
large Democratic gains. and that the State
will go for Cleveland by five thousand
