Importance Of q Democratic Victory.


cratic victory in the approaching presiden.
tial election, the New York Herald forcibly
remarks:
"If we readily admit it to have been
fortunate that there was republican party
in 1860 we as confidently assert that its in.
ability to recognize the entire country since
the surrender at Appomattox is national
disaster. The highest political as we'll as
moral duty of those days was to fight with
all our might; of these days it is to forgive
with all our might, and to forget for the
sake of the future. The party Discontinued
revenge may hope to regain power by an
appeal to our prejudices and fears, but the
folly of endangering the peace of the Re-
public for the benefit of few politicians
is only equalled by the crime of leaving an
unsettled quarrel to the next generation.
The success of the democratic party is
therefore national necessity. Its failure
under present circumstances would be ana
tional calamity. It has fallen into some
grave bunders-why deny it?-but its firm
faith 10 the unity OF the country is the sal
walton of the country. If it sometimes
goes too far in the right direction we must
confess that this is better than going too
far in the wrong direction. In treating
the south with magnanlmlty, and thus
welding the broken bonds Of a union that
is to last for centuries, it does credit to the
memory of the noble dead and carries to
their legitimate results the victories won by
our veterans. Those died and these fought
for union that should be imperishable
If. therefore, republican sectionalism would
destroy the fruits of their labors it is
fortunate for the people that the democratic
party has damned up the mad tide of hos
tility and adopted as its policy No North,
No South, No East No West, the good of
the whole without prejudice to any,"

FORAKER ON THE RAaIPAaE.-The wav-
ing of the red bandana has already had the
effect Of stirring up Gov. Foraker, of Ohio.
He not only denounces Mr.. Thurman as a
freetrader, but says the republicans have
several other things scored up against the
venerable ex-senator. cit is matter of
common report, " says Foraker, ''that Judge
Thurman and all his family carried delica-
cies to to Confederate prisoners while lock-
ed up at Camp Chase, three or four miles
from here, during the war. never heard
that any Federal soldiers got any of the
delicacies. He was copperhead, out and
out, and the republicans in this State won,
forget their sons who are sleeping under
the sod" Mr.. Thurman laughed outright
when his attention was called to Foraker's
utterances. In regard to the charge of be-
ing q copperhead, he said a sufficient an.
swer to this was the fact that wher
a candidate for Governor in 1867 he wa,
beaten BY less than 5000 votes, whereas
the previous year the republicans carried
the State by 49, 900 majority. This wa
when his war record was fresh in the mind
| of the people of Ohio. In regard to th,
Confederate soldiers delicacies business
| Mr., Thurman said: allow tenderly do I re
member what good Samaritan my wifi
was in those days. Gov. Dennison an,
Gov. Todd often spoke of the goodness o
Mrs. Thurman in distributing to tho sick
forlorn and captive ones fruit and fresl
things. Gov. Foraker does not attack m
when he mentions those Incidents. He at
tacks Mary, and the Old Roman spoke witt
pathetic tenderness of the woman VIII
always speaks of him as "Allen, dear, an,

What Thurman Thinks and Says Of Cleye.
land

at Columbus, Ohio, the residence of
Judge Thurman on last Thursday night,
the Thurman Club got up demonstration
in honor of the nomination Of Judge Thur
man for the vice-presidency. A procession
was formed which marched to the resi-
dence of Judge Thurman. Captain Hoff-
man. of the Samuel ]. Randall Club, was
introduced to Judge Thurman by Presi-
dent John J. Lenty, of the Thurman Club,
and introduced each member of the Phila-
delphia Club in turn to Thurman.
He delivered speech to them which
concluded as follows -
81 tell you, my friends, that the St.
| Louis Convention did the thing itself that
should immortalize it. 1t did one thing
| which of itself should command the esteem
and respect and gratitude of the American
people. 1t did one thing which set mag
nifcent example for all time to come to the
| American people, and indeed to all other
people who have anything to do with the
choice of rulers, and that thing was to re-
nominate Grover Cleveland by the unani-
nous voice of the convention. [Cheers.
| No, my friends; when l speak OF Grover
Cleveland 1 do not speak of stranger to
me, never saw him until after he was in
augurated President of the United States,
but 1 have seen him many times since,
talked with him much, consulted with him
much, and, although have not seen him
for months past, l know that man, think,
and I think know him well, and if there
is brave, honest, upright, courageous,
patriotic man on the face of Gods earth,
Grover Cleveland is such man. lGreat
applause
Coming from such man as Thurman, a
higher compliment than this was never
paid to any man, and all who know
Thurman know that he is sincere, and he
expressed similar sentiments several years
ago when he had no idea of entering public
life again.

U. s. SENATOR'S ESTIMATE OF JUDGE
THURMAN.-Senator Saulsbury's views,
which are herewith given, may be taken as
fair index of the general sentiment of his
political associates in this regard. Said he:
81 regard the nomination of Judge Thur
man as the very best that could possibly
have been made. told the President to
day that it was a great honor to be associat-
ed on the ticket with one of the grandest
characters in American history. He is even
great in his simplicity, and in the grand
things which make up true greatness he is
simply immense. I never knew Senator
Thurman in all the years have known him
to do frivolous thing. His name will not
only add dignity to the ticket, but win
thousands of votes which might not have
been cast for the head"

Blaine and Harrison.

Several months ago we expressed the
opinion that the Republican ticket would
be, Blaine, of Maine, and Harrison, of
Indiana, and, as improbable as that may
seem at this time, in view of Blaine's
second letter of decliuation, we are still in
clined to the belief that that will be the
ticket. A number of candidates will be
presented and voted for, and the friends of
Blaine will see to it that none shall be
nominated, and then, to solve the diff
Guilty, the proposition to elect Blaine by &C
clamation will be made and carried with a
hurrah, after which Harrison, of Indiana,
will be nominated for Vice-P President.

The Democratic Ticket.

The National Democratic Convention has
selected the strongest possible ticket in
ability, character, and patriotism, One
that appeals to the good sense and honesty
of every man without regard to party affili-
ations-one that deserves and should re-
ceive the cordial support of all good citi-
zens who desire an honest and economical
administration of the government, free
from all jobbery, corruption, monopoly,
unjust taxation, and sectionalism. 1t is SC
very prominently good that the announce.
ment of its selection, has met with cor
dial and enthusiastic response in every part
of the Union-North, South, East and
West. Now let the Democrats organize
promptly and thoroughly for an active and
vigorous canvass, and elect the grand and
noble ticket of CLEVELAND AND THURMAN
by rousing and triumphant majority thai
will vindicate the intelligence and honesty
and patriotism of. the great mass of the
people.
The Republicans are as much conster
mated as covey when it sees hawk in the
