The utterances of each party as far

At Cincinnati we beard no positive

State .elections to take 'place before
iNovemDer:
: : I
California's' election is' on ithe first Wed
nesday in September for members of the
legislature and Congressmen. The Inde
pendents, Republicans and Democrats will
put State tickets in the neldi Members of
Congress -will also be elected. The State
will go Democratic i Vermont s election'
for State, officers and members of the Leg
islature occurs on the first Tuesday in Sep
tember. - This State will elect Republicans.
Maine elects a State ticket pn the second
Monday in November. Georgia elects a
State ticket on the second Tuesday in Oc
tober. - The Democrats claim'a majority of
70,000 in this State. Ohio's flection occurs
on the second Tuesday in October. A Slate
ticket, with the exception or a governor,
and - lieutenant governor, will he elected.
West Virginia's election takes place on the
second Tuesday in October. A State
ticket, ; members of the liegisiature and
Congressmen will be elected. The Demo
crats claim a large majority. Iowa elects
a btate ticket on the: second luesday in
October. Indiana's election of a State ticket
also occurs on that day, and the contest
will probably be a warm one. Nebraska's
election also occurs on the same day. Texas
will show up her large Democratic majori
ty on the first Monday in November. . In
Ohio the Democrats have gone to work
with great teal and discretion to retrieve
the losses of the last election. The State
committee met last week and reorganized
the .Executive ' Committee,, and propose to
restore the ' old .majorities, ibolb for State
and Uongessionar candidates. -.-They .are
inspired with the. consciousness that lie
Democratic party has a Presidential can
didate who will restore the former glory of
tbe party through the length and breadth
of .the land." In Indiana, a State of no less
importance, the Democrats are actuated by
the same spirit, and,'' although contending
with desperate .enemies, the solid Demo
cratic phalanx will. Undoubtedly, march'
to victory in October ; .' i ' . '

administration ofv the. Federal Gov
ernment, with which the 'Democratic

have led to a . series of surprises in
the popular assemblages, and perhaps
in the Convention ; itself. It would
be unnatural,' gentlemen, if a popular
movement, so genuirie: and so power
ful, should stop -with" 3,500,000 De
mocrats; that it should not extend
by contagion to that large mass,
of independent .voters who -stand
between parties in our country, and
even to a moderate portion of, the
party under whose administration the
evils to be corrected have grown upV
Aud, perhaps, in what we have wit
uessed there may be an augury in re
spect to what ve may witness in the
election about to take place through
out our country; at least, let us hope
so and believe so.
I am not without
experience of the
difficulty and; the
labor of effecting
administrative re
form when it requires a revolution in
politics and in measures long estab
lished in government. If I were to
judge in the-year and a half in which
I have been in the State government,
I should say that the routinejduties of
the trust'I have had imprsed on me
are a small' burden compared with
that created by the attempt to change
"the policy of the government of
which . I have been the Executive
head. Especially is this so where the
reform is to be woiked out with more
or less of the co-operation of public
officers who either have been tainted
with the evils to be redressed or who
have been incapacitated by habit or
toleration of the wrongs to be j cor
rected to which they have been con
senting witnesses. I, therefore, if
your choice should be' ratified by
the-people at - the -election, should
enter upon the great duties which
would fall upon me, not as a holiday
recreation, but very much in that
spirit' of consecration in which the
soldier enters battle. Applause.
But let us believe, as I do believe,
that we now see the dawn of a bet
ter day for our country, and that dif
ficult as is the work to which the De
mocratic party, with many of the
allies and former members of other
parties, has addressed itself, the re
public is yet. to bo renovated, to live
in all the f uture,and to be transmitted
to future generations as Jefferson
contributed to ; form it in this day,
and in which it has been ever since,
until a recent period, a blessing to
tho whole people. Applause. Gen
tlemen, I thank you for the very kind
terms in which you have made your
communication, and I extend to you.
collectively and individually a. most
cordial: greeting."
The formal part of the business being
over, the remainder of the evening

; -I find there are two features of bur
platfqrm which -have takenv strong
hold on the German mind of ;thi
country administrative reform and
opposition to sumptuary lawsV These
are iivinsr issues, emblazoned ,6n tbe
Democratic banner,which appeal with
peculiar force to the German mind..
There was a great deal of very
nice figuring at St. Louis by political
statisticians, by which this, that Or'
the other candidate could be elected
by three, or five, or eight electoral
votes. In our times presidential elec"
tions are not settled by these small nu
merals,but go with a grand tidal swell
on one side or the other. . One candi
date is elected, and, in turf parlance,
the other is "nowhere." So I expect
it will be now; and it requires jsb
great prophet to tell on which siBe.
I believe we shall in this election
verify the noble sentiment uttered by
General Preston:. "The Democratic
party was expelled fromAmerican
power when the people lost their rea
son, and was restored to it when they
recovered it." I believe . the, Ameri
can mind has again become sane.4

There! is i nothing intellectual or
commanding in the face, certainly no
thing princely. It is the countenance
of a rather good-natured man of mo
derate intelligence, but consderable
backbone and strength of character.
The best feature of the face are the:
eyes. Don Carles smiles very fre-r;
quently I while he speaks, ' He was
dressed in 1 a - 'simple suit of Scotch
graVj such as many a v clerk in-A. T.
Stewart's would .despise, but sported
a rather gorgeous blue necktie- He
wore two simple rings and silver coins
as cuff studs. !
Dob Carlos' manner is exceedingly
lively, and his gesticulation is inces
sant. Often he would" tap your cor
respondent on the arms when calling
nis attention to some particular point
he was making.
