They arc compromising ami combining with a foul, foe repugnant to their sentiments nnd principles and the enemy of their race and State, and giving it a recognition and respect which must strengthen it. IIo.v nan Democrats denounce the Radicals ignorant, as^uutrustworthy and vile while they run on the saute tickets with them and are elected by thesame vote ?

A dozen defeats in a * straight Gght will not injure theui as much as this one coalition, which is a practical acknowledgment that wo have been fights ing Radicalism for six years, not because it is the party of thieves and dopes and hate, but because we want the offices.

It willbc difficult to explain to a voter why he may voto lor a Radical County Commissioner or Sheriff and not for Radical or Greenback Governor or Treasurer. If our friends will make a straight out, determined fight they will iucvitably win after a while, for they will have a compact, t organized party ready to take advantage of [ the inevitable splits among the Radicals, and the money, uieu and sympathy of the State will be at their backs. Otherwise, they can , expect only reprobation.

The straight* i out fight will win in the end as it did in 187G, after combinations, compromises and trucklings had failed many times. If this coalition policy is pursued, the Democracy is dead in the black counties, and that section will be injured materially, and become a foul reservoir of political corruption and radicalism, from which the villains of the entire State wiil draw life, , strength and sustenance for years to come. ?
