Ehe Local Political outlook, with
aGlance Abroad.

As the county political campaign ap.
prosches, our Republican friends are be.

dwelt upon with such stress two years
ago, that 'at the next election this conn

a II may be that our political opponents
really believe this, as the wish is some
timen father to the thought, but in real.

q It Is untrue. The Republicans relied
upon tho same source Of strength in the
etoneman- Estee gubernatorial campaign,
md the result showed they had been
ogregiously deceived. The city went
Democratic by several hundred and the
county full thousand. This was only
{ y the fall Of 'S2-not great while ago.

Northern immigration comes from the
two great States Of Ohio and New York.
Considering that one Of these States only

Il no reason why any German should go
back to the party Of centralization, of
quasi or openly avowed prohibition. of
Sunday laws, of sumptmary statutes, Of
pharisaicnl pretense and Of political
dishonesty. The German is honest and
liberty loving and opposed by nature to
cheats and frauds of all kinds. The
Republican party antagonizes every
sentiment OF his nature, and he will
never return to it,
n Taking II all in all, we cannot dis,
cover a solitary fact which should give
che Republicans hope for success in
either county, State or nation. Their
Inevitable Waterloo has come at last.
