A Columbus (O.) special OF the 26th TO
the New York World says: The city slept
late this morning after the great Demo
cratic demonstration OF yesterday. The
food az enthusiasm submerged this entire
end Of the state. The volunteers crowded
every train from all the surrounding coun-
try. Dozens Of clubs with fluttering BAN
ners ana COY regalia marched 10 the
music OF innumcrabe bands. The princi-
nal business-houses were handsomely deco
rated and flags waved a joyous welcome
upon all sides. The meeting was con-
summate success numerically and enthusi-
astically. IL proved cOnclusiyely that the
Democracy OF Ohio is up in arms against
an enemy that is tireess. characterlesS, and
fully equipped for the fray; an enemy that
must be fought without quarter and all
along the line. 1t needs just such interest
and determination everywhere TO combat
and drive to the wall this party OF fraud
and corruption. IIedged in upon every
side by a recOrd-a veritable Chinese
wall-as shameless as IL has been
continuous; with the devil upon one
side and the deep blue sea upon the
other. they are forced to fight their way
out, and they Will not hesitate as to the
choice Of weapons. Ohio is destined TO be
flooded with corruption fund before
which the Dorsey escapade in Indiana will
pale its Intellectual fires. The festive float

bills will be sent 10 the National Republic
can Committee. No matter how much the
ballot market is bulled in October. the
Ohio Republicans will bid q top figure.
The election OF State officers is, OF course,
but peg upon which 30 hang a victory in
November. The fight Is national one
and every calculation is made with that end
in view.
The Democrats have decided to carry
Ohio. The word has gone down the line
that not only the success OF great party
but the life Of the nation is in the balance.
and every man can be relied on to do his
duty. With the prestige OF two successive
victories and the promise this time OF eter-
nal emancipation, a brilliant and cour-
ageOus canvass will be made. with every
chance Of ultimate success.
