595 - L Oct. 15; ed: 2/3 - The New York WORLD prints a report that the Re-
publicans lost 61,000 votes, but the truth is that the majority of Republican
votes in Ohio is estimated at 40,000.
The PLAIN DEALER is following in the footsteps of the WORLD - or
rather it lies more desperately. To what desperate straits is a party re-
duced which must resort to such magnificent and enormous frauds. (3)

629 - L. Aug. 18; ed: 2/1 - The delay of the Chicago convention has been un- .
fortunate for the Union party. All discouraging elements have had free
play because Democrats have not found a suitable candidate. Union men are
waking up to the fact that in unity there is strength and that dissensions
must be cast aside. Personal preferences of individuals must be sacrificed
to the demands of a great cause. The hope of the Democratic party lies in
these last two months, and defeat will mean utter ruin.
"Let every Union man stand fast in an undying faith in the power of the
Union to maintain its existence." - (8)

1375 - L June 21; ed:4/5 - Republicans and Rebels are the cause of the
war, according to the new mode of attack employed by certain Democratic
journals. The Republicans elected a president, as they had a right to
do; the Rebels didn't like this; consequently they revolted. "We had
supposed that such silly attempts at logic liad died out, but the WORLD
is industriously at work just now in renewing them." (2)

1427 - L Nov. 26: ed: 2/1 - The announcement that James C. Medill is
dead will be sad news for his many friends in this city and throughout
the northwest who knew him as one of the ablest journalists of the time.
He was one of the founders of the Republican party, and was at one time
connected editorially with the LEADER, where he proved himself a pro-
found thinker and able writer, and champion of human rights. During . . . .
the period he was connected with the agricultural interests of the north- ‘
west he did much to elevate the standards of agriculture. He entered
politics in 1860 and did good service in the cause of freedom. He was
in constant pain for several years, being a sufferer from rheumatism.
"The Creat truths he enunciated will live for all time, while many of
the cardinal principles he advocated have already been adopted by this
country." . - (11)

1513 - L. Sept. 7; ed:2/2 - The Cleveland WORLD says that the only difference
between Republican and Democratic parties is that the Republican party is
guided by a "moral sense." - . -
"It is true that the Union party has a 'moral sense' which the Democratic
has not, and unlike the Democratic party, when the South rebels against the
'moral sense' of the civilized world, and tries to destroy the fair fabric
of American civilization, the Union party believes that justice demands
that they shall suffer whatever injury their domestic institutions may in-
cur in progress of the war. The Union men of the North do not favor slavery
and in this respect, differ most decidedly from Democracy."" (5)

1584 - L June 2; ed:2/1 - The "Fremont" convention held here May 31 was
given wide publicity by the Democratic press throughout the country, but
its slimness and insignificance was a surprise even to those who knew how
feeble the whole affair would be.
The authorized delegates present did not exceed 200. Of the six
or eight individuals who manipulated the convention only General Cochrane
of New York was f any national prominence. -
The state of Missouri, in which a rabid red Republicanism finds ex-
istence, virtually controlled the convention.
The object of the convention, aside from gratifying a spite toward
President Lincoln, was to affirm a more radical policy than any yet
enunciated, and to put forward a man who will carry the policy into
effect.
Mr. Foster, the special champion of radical views, was obliged to
confess in his speech Tuesday (May 29) that the Republican party holds
the same views on the subject of slavery as expressed in the Fremont
platform.
The doctrines laid down in the Fremont platform, those that are
vital, will all be substantially affirmed at Baltimore, (the Republican
convention.) Their realization will be much sooner attained by a strict
unity of the Union party, than by such a disorganizing scheme as the
one inaugurated in Cleveland.
"We have commented thus at length, not from any apprehension, ...
but from the conviction that the Copperheads... will endeavor to fan the
whole affair into importance.
"The Convention, in a word, was made up of oily politicians from
New York, impetuous, hair-brained Germans from St. Louis, several
venerable abolitionists... together with an admixture of personal friends
and parasites of Fremont, all controlled by one feeling - that of hatred
for Abraham Lincoln." - - (18)

1611 - L June 16; ed: 2/3 - The New York TIMES says, "The farmers, as the
London JOURNAL rightly judges, have shaped the policy, through its whole
history, of the Republican and Union party."
"It is certainly true that the pure and healthy-minded people of the
rural districts are the great reservoirs whence cities draw their best
men, whether in business, in law, or in politics." (6)

1638 - L. May 28; ed: 2/1 - Republicanism is the theme of general con-
versation and the subject of considerable excitement in England. A
statesman heretofore deemed a conservative has declared himself in favor
of "manhood suffrage."
"This is a great step and indicates the strength of the Republican
feeling in England." (4)
