The political conflicts which have for years
agitated the people Of Ohio, have been to us
source Of no little interest. The bold positions as
sumed, and never deserted by the democrats of this
great State, are of themselves sufficient to awaken
feeling of enthusiasm in behalf of the courageous
men who possessed the intrepidity to lead the ven
in the cause of PRosREss and the moral heroism to
bear aloft their banner, less proudly in adversely
than in prosperty-when vanquished than when
victorious


Never shall we forget the admiration with which
we witnessed the efforts of the democracy of Ohio
during the memorable campaign of 1910. With
the whig candidate for the presidency, citizen OF
their own State, perambulang almost every county
in the Commonwealth, haranguing his adherents.
and melting them to action; with the most popular
orators of Kentucky and the other adjacent States
turned loose within her borders, inhaming the
minds ofthe people, and some of them proclaiming
the doctrine that if defeated at the baobox resort
must be had to the bayonet to hur the democracy
from power-when the worst passions of men had
been appealed to, and menaces substituted for per
suasion, and bludgeous for facts--then ii was that
theunterred republicans of Ohio, regardless of the
odds arrayed against them, barred their bosoms to
the storm, needless Of its ruthless peltings. Able
orators-led on by the dauntess Allen, whose heart
has ever throbbed in sympathy with the toiling
millions--penetrated each nook and corner, and
braved every danger in their efforts to stem the tor
rent of deception, prejudice, and passions--whilst
at the same time corps Of editors, with Medary's
"Ohio Statesman at their head, unintimidated by
the frowns of power and the threats Of violence
from phrcnsed partisans, fought the battle with
fearessness, energy, and ability unsurpassed in the
history of the government. The result is known.
The democracy lay PROSTATE beneath whig ma
jority Of over twehty-three thousand. But such
body Of men could not remain defeated Ere the
enemy's shout of triumph had ceased to echo in the
hills, they were again in arms, equipped for action;
and dauntessly facing this whig majority Of $4,000,
they charged upon the opposition, and before the
expiration of single year, majority of republi-
returned to each branch of the State legis-
lature. A party such this may be defeated
through deception, for a season, but never perma-
nenty vanquished. We designed, however, not TO
speak Of the past but refer to the present and the
future.


The signs Of the times in Ohio are big with hope
and promise; and il is to us source of sincerel
