COMMITTEE, COLUMBUS, Oct. IS, 1SS4.-To THE
HONEST AND TRUE PATRIOTS OF OHIO AND OF THE
UNITED STATES: The result of the election in
ONO last Tuesday for state officers should arouse
every honest citizen who loves his country to q
realizing sense of the dangers viii menace our
Tree Institutions. The men who stole the presi-
dehcy In 1876 mean to repeat THEN methods
even with more audacious desperation ia 1884
10 them nothing is sacred; liberty is farce
and the ballot-box burlesque. Never since the
experiment of free government was begun on
TINS continent has the world witnessed such deg
radatlon of the right of franchise, such desecra-
lion oil citizenship, and such desperate, corrupt,
ana polluted methods as were resorted to by ras-
Gals who were not citizens of Ohio to defeat the
honest will of the people at the ballot-box. A
| million dollars raised by wealthy stock jobbers
aud monopolists sent into the state. With
| IL came the scum of the country.
THIEVES, EX. D ELECTIVES, REpEATERs,
and government officials headed by W. W. Dud-
ley, chief of the pension bureau. Although thou

chief and nonresidents of Ohio. spent four weeks
In the state under government pay, engaged in
preparing for the frauds committed last Tue sday
In addition Two thousand men. many of them
outlaws and desperate characters. and hut few of
them citizens of Ohio, were sworn in as deputy
United States marshais in Cincinnati. Armed
! with weapons purchased by the corruption
fund furnished by Dudley and his gang, they
surrounded the polls in that city, voted where
they pleased, .ulldoZed, beat, aud shed blood

truth and initiating the example of their illustri-
Gus chief, caused 10 be spread broadcast over the
country that they had carried the state by 81 900
majority. For political effect they were willing
to exaggerate and lie. We feel it our duty to
lay these facts before the people of the country
The result Of the election in Ohio need not dis

will give cause for encouragement TO the people
of Ohio to continue this fight. The battle has
just begun. The men, the money, the methods
which gave the Republicans their unholy and
discreditable but meager majority on Oct ii
have disappeared.
WE MEAN TO CARRY OHIO
in November for honest men and an honest ad-
minstration of an honest government. 1t will
take the same men, the same methods and the
same money to give James c. Blaine one half
the majority in November that the Republican
state ticket secured in October. Their entire
gang must be brought back to maintain their
| ill-gotten victory.
Ohio will give a Democratic majority in Nov
ember for Cleveland, Hendricks and honest gov

who voted the Democratic ticket; nearly 90, 600
more than ever voted the Democratic ticket I'm

| fight you made against desperate Odds There
is no fault TO be found with the Democracy or

state. Pledge yourselves anew to the great work
| before You. Stand by your guns and push the
| enemy along the whole line. Renew the fight
| by school districts. Gather in your school
houses and resolve to wrest Ohio from corruption
Go 10 work al once, and in less than ten days we
will have the little Republican managers crying
] out In alarm. calling on Blaine and Logan and
Dudley and Davenport and Clayton and Filley,

SAVE Us OR WE SINK"
Democrats of Ohio let share in the glori-
Gus victory that awsis honest government in No
vember. We must keep the Republicans busy
in Ohio. At the beginning of this campaign we
engaged to fight the Republican party not only
of Ohio, but of the United States. Now we
! have them single handed and alone We can
win THU victory if we make a proper effort to do
