i FROM SHORE TO SHORE
Along the rugged shore of time
With weary steps we stray—
j Watching the overflowing tide,
Bearing our hopes away.
Close to our feet tbe waters roll—
The sullen, surging sea;
Beyond which lies the pleasant laud
Where oft we long to be.
We long the wonders there to view,
On that delightful shore;
Where perfect beauty, perfect life,
Ei.dure forevermore.
Lov’d ones are passing o’er the wave,
In that bright home to dwell;
But none of them coins back again,
Of that fair lacd to tell.
But we know 'tis a place t-f rest,
Where all are free from care—
Where tone e’er Buffer pain or grief,
Nor heavy burthens bear.
And so we, longing, watch and wait,
While others go before,
Until our summons, too, shall come
To pass from shore to shore.

.SAY ANN AH, - - - GEORGIA, j “J have lost my way!” These
words, said suddenly in a low tone,
with an accent of dismay, interrup
ted a blithe carol rippling from the
lips of Florence Grey.
There could hardly have been a
prettier place to lose one’s way in.
The path ended abruptly at the mar
gin of a narrow stream. No more
than a woodland trail, it had been
thickly beset with tangled underwood
and overhung by gnarled antiques
of a goodly forest, but here, as it
ended, the woods ended also. A
turfed bank sloped gently to the wat
er's edge: grassy slopes of the same
undulating character outlined the
opposite bank of the rivulet; garden
and villas, and beyond them piles of
facade and roof, smoke stack and
spire, imaged against a clear June
sky the profile of a town.
“I have lost my way." The speak
er was a girl of perhaps eighteen
years of age, but so essentially youth
ful in form and feature that in her the
girlish element preponderated em
phatically over the womanish—a girl
costumed in white muslin, with bod
ice blue, and a broadsbrimmed straw
hat trimmed with blue ribbons, very
nearly in the style of a stage shep
herdess. For a crook sho carried a
fresh-cut birch rod, and clasped a-
gainst it, rather deleteriously to their
preservation, a bunch of wood leaves.
Along the path, stopping here and
there to gather a leaf, she had been
singing to herself just those light
hearted snatches of song that one is
apt to hum or carol or whistle in the
woods. Her dainty blonde face was
rosily flushed with exercise and
pleasure, and her ungloved hands
were redden like her cheeks.
“I have lost my way.” The se
cond time that these words were
spoken they were no longer a so
liloquy, but a complaint addressed
to an auditor. Florence Grey, trip
ping down the greensward, had corns
suddenly upon a stranger, a youth,
who at her first glance she pronounc
ed gentle and trustworthy—a
dark-complexioned, thoughtful-faced
young man, walking by the river’s
edge with pondering footsteps and
reading a little book.
“Can you tell me, Sir, the way to
Linden-grove, opposite the Long
Bridge of N ■?”
So spake our shepherdess, not
dropping a courtesy in stage style,
but assuming for the moment a lan
guid air of hauteur.
“I can direct you,” answered the
youth, courteously, “but not very
definitely. I can better show yon
the way, if you will allow me.”
“Guide me, please,” said the maid
en, “and I will follow; for if I am
not at home by sundown, my moth
er will be in hysterics. I have the
misfortune to be an only child. Lib
erty is sweet,” she added, following
her guide into the wood, “but it has
to be paid for dearly. We were all
in the woods together, and I wander
ed off alone. It was so bewitching!
Please tell me, are we miles away
from N ?”
“Hardly less than four miles from
the Long Bridge by the direct
route,” said her guide; “but I can
show you a wood path quicker.”
“Show it to me, then,” said Miss
Grey, “and I shall be forever grate
ful for my dear mother’s sake. She
is ail invalid, she worries.”
“We are spending the summer at
Linden-grove,.” after a brief pause,
continued this affable young lady,
“and our chief pleasure is in the
wood. To-day we had a fete, and
crowned a June queen. Do you live
in N !”
“I do not call N my home,
but my residence is there for the
present.”
“And you cross the Long Bridge
to come into the forest?
“No, my approach is different. I
cross the river above the dam. But
I know every turn of the path, every
inch of the bank.”
Florence Grey followed her guide
through what seemed a trackless
wild. He paused frequently to hold
back some branch that barred the
way, and at these moments glanced
quickly but with keen interest at her
face.
They kept up easily a light-heart
ed talk that would have been com
monplace but for its cast of broken
light, its tincture of fragrance and
romance, caught from the summer
wood.
Out of the thicket they emerged
just as the sun was setting. Every
feature of the scene they entered be
came afterward significantly memor
able.
The bank, curved into a low-shored
cove, was grown thickly to the wat
er’s edge with blue forget-me-nots,
now in their full bloom. A contrast
of color, a perspective of color, led
from this emerald ground, studded
with turquois stars, to the pale blue-
green, the aquamarine, of the far sky,
swept with a moving trellis of car
mine clouds, flushed and fired by
sunset.
The guide paused, and looked to
ward his companion expectantly. He
was not disappointed. Their eyes
met in one of those sympathetic
RYOWala of kindred perception that

j unites in harmony of music and har-
1 mony of vision the lovers of beauty,
j They lingered not long. From
the glen of forget-me note a direct
j path led to Linden grove, and Miss
j Florence Grey, with many thanks to
! her courteous conductor, reached
i home in time to assuage the rising
j hysterics of her anxious mamma.
A week after this occurrence an
j intimate friend of Mrs. Grey asked
! Florence to grant her a favor. “The
agent,” she said, “of the most artis
tic photographer in New York is
stopping for a day at N , and I
am to send by him to the city two
imperfect sketches, one a penciling
taken “after death,” the other an im-
jtaired ambrotype of my dear dead
Lilian. The artist premised to take
from them a life-like minatore. I
feel unwilling to commit theminto a
stranger’s hands, and the agent
leaves town to-night. Will you take
them to N for me? You can
have my pony phaeton.”
j But no, Florence, who luxuriated
! in rambles these beautiful mornings,
i said she would rather w r alk. “The-
I resa will go with me.” She promis-
j ed; and the pictures, incased in a
! Vienna wallet, were intrusted to her
; hands.
i Theresa was busy. Florence,
nothing loath, for her sunny soul
loved solitude, ventured off alone.
Singing, she wended her way along
the dappled path of the noonday
forest.
She had reached a point where the
arch of foliage opened upon pastures
divided by a highroad on the out
skirts of a village. There, while be
girt still with the loneliness of wild-
wood, she saw in an instant the
creeping underwood of her path
change into a human form; she saw
a hideous face staring up at her
from the ground, and so close to her
that had she not glanced that sec
ond down she would have stumbled
over him at her next step. A va
grant lay stretched upon the sward
—a ruffian with some dark-colored
object lying beside him, and a scar
let handkerchief bound around his
head. Something frightful in the
sadden apparation, something san
guinary in the aspect, strnck with
terror the imagination of the girl,
and she fled precipitately. She dirop-
ped her parasol, dropped the precious
packet of her friend, and ran— ran
as for her life, out of the wood, down
the steep hill side, into to the high
road between the meadows.
On she ran until she came to a
cottage, threw open the garden gate,
and sped up the path for shelter.
Two men were standing in the
porch, one a white-haired patriarch,
leaning on a staff, and the other—
Florence Grey’s guide of the forest
Their mutual recognition was in
stant, and Florence, pale with fright,
sinking upon the porch bench nearly
in a swoon, held out her hand to this
stranger as to some old friend.
He took the little hand for a mo
ment in his own. “How can I help
you?” He asked.
“I have lost something so pre
cious!” gasped Florence, “so irrecov
erably precious! And oh! I was a
coward. But that dreadful—murder
ous—red hankerchiefed” she shud
dered and lost her breath upon an
appealing noun—“frightened me so,
I dropped everything.”
She told him presently more co
herently of her experience. He
started off in search of the pictures,
while the old man conducted Flor
ence into his cool dim summer par
lor, and having seen her safely en-
scounded in the ancient depths of its
hair-clotli sofa, brought her a glass
of milk strenghtenedwith home-made
wine.
In less than a hour, the young
man returned, not having encounter
ed the peddler, or recovered the par
asol, but bringing the “irrecoverably
precious” package. Florence thank
ed him with all her heart. She felt
herself constrained, although an
internal voice suggested that her
mother would never forgive the im
prudence, to allow this young man,
whoso wagon was conveniently
in waiting, to drive her to N
Her errand there accomplished, she
allowed him, by the most beautiful
winding road that ever threaded ro
mantic passages and crossed myste
rious bridges, to drive her home.—
She alighted just within, or rather
just without, the range of sight from
Lindengrove windows.
How well they had become ac
quainted! how much, how very much
she liked him! and how appreciative
and comprehensive she elt was his
liking for her! Everything in their
intercourse had been unconventional,
and now they had parted without a
word of future meeting. She had
not even, as common gratitude de
manded, asked his name. Would
they meet again?
Poets and artists from Homer to
Turner have recognized a wonderful
force in the mystic emphasis of Rep
etition. And Fate, whose genius is
at heart poetic and artistic, has its
own fondness for duplications and
antiphonals. In the meeting again
of Florence Grey and her guide,
there was an employment of this po
tent principle.
They met so precisely as they had
meet before that the repetition as
sumed in their eyes a meaning, a
portent.
Details of coincidence forced them
selves upon observation—the glen
of forget-me-nots at sunset; a sun
set flecked with carmine clouds;
Florence in her shepherdess costume
of bine and white (for the sojourners
of Lindengrove were indulging in an
other rural fete); her guide reading
the identical little book ; her hand
holding the same wood leaves. He
had named them to her before—su
mach, wild roses, woodbine.
The exact scene which had envi
roned their first actual meeting—
here it was that their eyes had di
vined the sympathy they possessed
for each other—now environed their
parting ; for he said, “I leave N
to-morrow. I have taken passage on
Saturday’s steamer from New York
to Liverpool.”
Florence Grey’s face betrayed a
sudden emotion. She had the sat
isfaction, however, to flatter herself
that, in ordering a calm speech, she
concealed the unaccountable pang
too sensibly enperienced. “Since
yon are going away,” Miss Grey said,
“please tell me your name, that I
may have the nominal keepsake of
one from whom I have accepted
kindness.”
She hardly needed to ask, for her
fancy, cast in a truly feminine mould,
easily reached conclusions without
premises, and she had already named ' merous afternoon engagements to
and domiciled and endowed this | bring to her lodgings a copy of the
woodland hero. There was a certain < disputed carpet pattern, and explain
manorial place near N , the resi- to her the technicalities at issue.—
dence of an eccentric and reclose j His explanations fortified Florence
bachelor—just the man to have one i in her persuasion that she could be
interesting nephew for an occasional j “a help.” She attended the trial on
visitor and a sole heir. Florence, the morrow with Mr. B , accom-
on horseback, bad dashed by this
residence almost daily since her last
adventure, expecting to see her “stu
dent” thoughtfully pacing its silent
terrace or emerging upon her bridle
path from its stately glades.
How were her preconceptions put
to flight by his downright answer!
“My name is Horace King. I am a
workman in the N factory.”
Florence Grey’s quickly moved
and ingenious face expressed, after
one sweeping cloud of regret, that
unmistakable bar of circumstantial
pride, pronouncing how far Horace
King was removed from her, how
impassable was the gulf between a
workman in the carpet factory of
N and a high-bred girl trained
in a circle of fashion and fortune,
j and anticipating in the approaching
! season a brilliant debut in New
York.
As an immediate after-thought—
for something in tbe mingled pride
and pain with which the youth had
said these words reached her—some
thing in his tone touched the better,
freer nature of Florence Grey. With
a quick impulse, swayed by kindly
good wishes, she took from her girls
ish finger a turquois ring.
“It is set with a forget-me-not,”
she said, giving it to him. “Keep
it, please, as a token of my thanks.
Keep it until we meet again.”
She glanced away from him as she
concluded a sentence which, for some
reason or other, thrilled and inspir
ed him—she glanced, at her last
words, afar off toward the sinking
sun. He interpreted her look. Their
“meeting again” was something be
yond the horizon of tangible events.
He kissed her hand and accepted
her gift.
By a curious legal complication,
arising from a curious but lawful
“will,” Florence Grey, upon the
death of her mother, which occurred
early in that very antumn for which
the opening of her “brilliant season"
had been planned, was left a penni
less orphan. She was flung in a
moment from the carressing atmos
phere of affluence and idolatry into
the harsh air of need, and the calcu
lating friendships of distant relatives.
She did not realize at first all the
sorrows of this change; but as time
passed the cry of her heart became
more desolate and more bitter. She
wasted herself in longing for that
never-to-be-recalled bondage of ma
ternal love, that irksome fondness
which had so tenderly hemmed her
in from all rough use of “this worky-
day world.”
The sweet, rich, rippling voice,
trained aesthetically for parlor use—
Florence Grey’s singing, a part of
herself, which, like herself, had been
tenderly nurtured and flattered and
held sacred to home life—was me
tamorphosed into a thing of market
value.
She had yielded to circumstances,
and two years after her mother’s
death journeyed toward Italy, to
cultivate there for public use her
musical gift.
The friends who took her under
their protection for the journey stop
ped several weeks in England.
In London, at the Royal Gallery,
where Florenae was spending a
morning with her friend Theresa,
she was presented casually to Mr.
B , a rich bachelior, of New York,
famous for his affluence, and famous,
almost against his modest will, for
his benevolent munificence.
Florence, at Theresa's side, conld
not avoid hearing a conversation that
interested her but slightly in com
parison with the pictures. Her in
difference was dispelled by a single
word. Her undivided attention be
came fixed upon the conversation,
and the paintings vanished into the
obscurity of dead walls.
“I am just now deeply interested,”
Mr. B said, “in a young coun
tryman of yours and mine, Miss
Theresa, who has fallen, asT believe
innocently, into the toils of an un
principled enemy. The young man
is employed as a designer in the im
mense carpet factories of A , and
he had met with such success that
fame and fortune seemed secured.
One design of his, called the forget-
me-not pattern, met with such re
markable favor that it was purchased |
by French artists, and found its way
in Aubusson into the boudoir of the
Empress. For this very pattern,
which has proved the corner-stone,
of his good fortune; the poor fellow
is now in trouble, and has been ar
raigned on a charge of plagiarism,
or, to speak more accurately, of
downright theft. His adversary has
produced successive designs, from
the crude thought to the artistic fin
ish, and the affair is going hard
with my poor countryman, Horace
King. To-morrow I am to have a
a hearing in his case, to present tes-
timonals which have been sent to
me from America from various
friends and from the factories of
N , certifying his well-known
talent and his excellent character.”
At the word “forget-me-,not’’ the
attention of Florence was arrested.
At the name of Horace King her
whole soul became interested. As
sociated in her memory with her
summer at Lindengrove, with her
last summer of sun-lit youth and of
young life’s ineffable sweet promise,
had been the “student" of her imag
ination; and the “workman in the
factory of N——” had, as time gave
new insight into the world’s ways,
become glorified. She had seen no
one who seemed to her so manly, so
thoughtful, and so trnstwortby as
her guide of the woods.
The New York girl rather aston
ished her august countryman by her
impulsive start and earnest plea.
“Mr. B , will you not take me
with you to the trial to-morrow?—
I believe I can help yon. I know
something of a forget-me-not carpet
pattern. At least—I mean I know
something of a forget-me-not car
pet man.”
Her face, lighted by self-forgetful
enthusiasm, became so radiant that
Ur. B »who had a chivalric fond
ness for “lovely woman” and a quick
appeciation of feminine beauty, ac
cused himself of culpable blindness
in not having before perceived the
attraction ot Theresa's friend.
Of course he willingly consented
to take her with him to the trial.—
, He even found time among his nu-
panied by Theresa and her mother.
Tbe case had been some time “on”
when the American party entered the
dim and well-filled chamber, whose
audience was composed for the most
part of manufacturers and decorative
artists, who felt in the case a pecu
liar interest. As Mr. B— . had
said, it was “going hard” with his
young countryman, Horace King.
Bat the testimonials of ability and
character contributed by substantial
men, and their presentation by the
well-known and widely honored Mr.
B , produced a beneficial coun
teraction.
Then Florence Grey became a wit
ness. Before giving her volunteer
ed statement she had seen the face
of the defendant Mr. B—— pointed
him out to her, and it needed bat a
glance to assure Florence that he
was the veritable ideal of whom her
inmost soul declared, “Truthful,
trustworthy.”
He, too, had seen her, and for an
instant all the realities around him
melted into the uncertain atmos
phere of a dream. His blithe “beau
ty" of the wild-wood, his mimic
shepherdess of sylvan fairy-land, the
little star that had dawned upon his
love’s first dream—he knew her im
age well. And now, folded in her
dark robes of mourning, mantled in
blackness like his fate, she came to
him as a priestess of the night
The aim of her statement was to
give the scenic story of the pattern—
to show clearly to others, as she her
self clearly saw, the inherent proof
of authenticity in the individualizing
history of the design. The carpet
was the map of the moment, and the
moment was the possession of Hor
ace King. She described in her sim
ple, impulsive, and convinced, and
consequently convincing, language
the meeting and parting in the glen
of forget-me-nots of turquois and ze
nith blue a shadowy strewing in mez
zotint of the precise wood leaves she
had held in her hand, and of which
he had said to her the names—wood
bine, sumach, wild rose. In the
border, edged by a conventional fret
work of black and gold, was render
ed, as well as tinted wools might,
the “sunset” trellis of carmine cloud.
“And here,” said Florence, kindling
with excitement, “in the fretwork of
the border, is my turquois ring. Oh,
perhaps he wears it still!”
“My Turquois ring!” How her
clear voice swept with these words
the heart of Horace King! He did
not hear the added sentence—it was
said in a lowered tone; but he
caught its reflection in an impression
of friendly interest aroused in the
listening crowd—a murmur, perhaps,
or a sympathetic smile.
He wore it still. And in the hors
der of the carpet its likeness at in
tervals, more or less revealed, now
clearly appeared. Nor was this alL
Florence Grey’s testimony, corrobor
ated unexpectedly in circumstantial
points by Theresa and her mother,
and sustained in dignity by the in
troductory support of the renowned
Mr. B , achieved its crowning
triumph in the announcement that
her initials, the engraved initials of
the ring, were introduced into the
fretwork of the carpet’s border. Hor
ace King's opponent failed to find
them; but they were discovered
presently in their ingenious reproi
duction by experts; aud with this
seal of the scenic story Horace
King’s acquittal was complete.
A year in Italy devoted to the cul
tivation of her voice was made de
lightful to Florence Grey by a cor
respondence with a dear friend in
England—a correspondence which
bronght her into intimate knowledge
of the noble heart and gifted mind
of Horace King.
But her siDging was never pub
licly heard, for ere the year of school
ing ended, the plans of her life were
changed.
Fate kept, in the disposal of Flors
ence, true to its fond antiphonals.
In the very manor place near N ,
not for from Lindengrove, and with
in rambling distance of the forget-
me-not glen, Horace King, in exact
similitude of an absurd fancy of a
romantic girl, may be often seen now,
thoughtfully pacing its terrace or
emerging from its stately glades.
Returning to his native land, and
interesting himself both as artist and
capitalist in the manufactures of
N , he has acquired fame and
fortune. His wife is a graceful lady,
the mother of beautiful children, and
the favorite of a circle of friends of
whose appreciation her husband way
well he proud.
Every one knows her as Mrs. King;
but her sweet, rich, rippling voioe,
which holds the soprano in the choir
of the village church, is the sunny
inheritance of Florence Grey. •
Interesting Courtship.
The following is a part of a letter
written by a young gentlemen, aged
nine, to a friend:
My sister Em has got a fellow
who has been coming here to see
her most every night for some time.
Night before last, jnst to have a lit
tle fnn, I went into the parlor,
crawled under the sofa and waited
there until he and Em had got set
tled, and just as he was asking her
if she was willing to become his
dear partner for life, and trust to
his strong arm for protection and
support, I gave three red hot Indian
warhoops and bumped myself up
against the bottom of the sofa and
shot off an old horse pistol that I
borrowed from Sam Johnson, and
my gracious! how that follow jump
ed up and scooted for the door! He
never stopped to get his hat, but
wait stumbling head over heels
down the door steps. As for Em
she was so scared that she sat right
down on the floor and screached like
blue blazes, till dad and mother came
running in with nothing but night
clothes on, and wanted to know what
was the matter. But Em only yell
ed the louder, and kept pointing
under the sofa, till dad got down on
his knees and saw me there, and
pulled me out by the hind leg. When
he got me out in the woodshed, he
wrapped me over his knee, and he
went at me with an old trunk strap,
and I have not got over it yet*
The Ohio Election.
The Defeat of Alien No Victory for
the Bondholders.
From tlie Cincinnati Commercial.
For the enlightenment of people
outside of Ohio, a word of explana
tion of the work of Ohio last Tues
day is in order. There are hundreds
of thousands of our friends in the
West and in the South, there are
thousands in New England and New
York, there are scores of thousands
in Pennsylvania, who believe that
the greenback question, the currency
issue, was the only one involved in
the late canvass, and that the defeat
of Governor Allen is a defeat of the
platform of the Democracy of Ohio
upon that issue. Even if that were
the fact, the defeat is one of which
we might be proud. AYhen two hun
dred and twenty thousand people in
Ohio march to the ballot-boxes, the
everlasting gates of freedom, and
deposit their verdict in favor of them
selves and of our belief, and when in
a total vote of considerably more
than a half million, and tho doctrine
we delight in fails of victory by only
a few hundred votes, the defeat is
certainly not appalling, nor is it even
significant. In view of the odds
against which we fought such a de
feat, though it were honest, and
though upon the money issue alone,
would be a splendid victory. It
must bo bornein mind that the Dem
ocratic party fought in a great Re
publican State against two thousand
national banks; against a national
party in power—as lull of despera
tion as of the conviction that the
head was resting loosely on its
shoulders—and fought against more
money than has ever before been used
in a political canvass in this State. If,
therefore, the Democratic party had
lost Ohio by a more pronounced ma
jority, and on the currency question
alone, it would have been a “famous
victory.”
The fact of which we wish to ad
vise our friends abroad is that we
have apparently lost Ohio not be-
cause of, but notwithstanding, our
financial doctrine. It is important
that our friends outside of Ohio
should understand exactly what it
was that defeated us. We were
beaten, first by religion, second by
frauds. We find in the Gazette ot
yesterday, the leading Republican
organ of Ohio, this editional state
ment :
“The ‘unbroken solid vote’ of the
Israelite Americans of Cincinnati
was yesterday, cast for the Republi
can candidates.”
And this:
“The ‘unbroken solid vote’ of the
Protestant German citizens of Cin
cinnati was yesterday east for the
Republican candidates.”
In the Times of yesterday we also
find this :
“The school question, which so
many excellent gentlemen have seen
fit to belittle by their arrows of sar
casm, has, undoubtedly, played an
important part in the canvass. It
is certainly true that thousands of
votes have been cast for the Repub
lican ticket by voters in the rural
districts on this question alone.
“In the mining districts and in the
cities where work was scarce and
money short, the financial question
has, undoubtedly, been the main is
sue, but in the country, where com
and other crops would grow in luxu
riance in spite of the specie resump
tion law, it was hard to make the
brawny sensible farmer believe that
all his prospects for temporal and
spiritual health would be seriously
impaired by the election of Hayes.
He cared little for the finances, but
much for the common schools. The
schools so near his heart he felt to be
indirectly in danger at least, and so
with work and vote speke nobly a-
gainst sectarian interference, and the
result shows most conclusively the
ntter folly of an attempted alliance
between a great political party and a
great religious denomination.”
One fact, known throughout Ohio,
and which we desire to make known
beyond the borders of the State, is
sufficiently indicated in the above
quotations. It was religion that
prominently helped to conquer, tem
porarily, the money of the people.
The Republican leaders had aban
doned the fight and the field upon
the money question weeks ago, and
summoned religious prejudice aud
bigotry to their aid. They chose,
indeed they were compelled, to de
grade the noblest and since rest im
pulses of the human heart, in order
to defeat a cause in which there was
more of the spirit of religion than in
all of their creeds. This appeal to
religions passions was worth twenty-
five thousand votes to the Republi
cans, probably more than that They
would not permit a verdict npon the
question supposed abroad to be the
only one before the jury, the people
of Ohio.
The same party that, in the holy
name of religion and in the sacred
cause of the common schools, songht
to, and did, prevent an honest ver
dict of the people npon tho question
at issue, married ballct-box stuffing
and fraud to its religion—a beauti
ful pair. In the four large cities of
the State this was notoriously evi
dent. The Republicans denounced
an aggregate vote in Cincinnati last
spring of 3G,000 as so enormous as
to be palpably fraudulent. Six
months later they cast a vote in the
city of nearly forty thousand, the
increase being Republican. In Tole
do, Cleveland and Columbus similar
fraods were perpetrated, and it was
by the use of religion (?), and by
ffrogo frauds that the Republicans
distorted the vote of the people of
Ohio. It was not a square fight up
on the currency question, for on that
we have the State by nearly fifty
thousands votes. Our friends in
Pennsylvania have very little religion
to contend against, and they should
be encouraged by the result in Ohio.
It is not a defeat of our doctrine.
“One man with the right on his side
is a majority,” and we have a quarter
of a million of people in this single
State standing shoulder to shoulder
with us in this battle for the com
mon weal. To our friends within
and without Ohio, we desire to say
they must not be deceived as to the
nature and significance of the result
in Ohio, and to the many who have
longed and hoped in vain we wish to
ray that sorrow may endure for a
night, but joy cometh in tho moitt?
