Has Reaction set in, or are they Coming North ?

Wc are told that Jesse D. Bright, formerly United States Senator from Indiana, and now a candidate upon the Democratic electoral ticket in Kentucky, said in this place one day the first of the week thSf Kentucky would give 50,000 Democratic majority at the Presidential election. Now, as our Democratic friends claim to have elected their State ticket in that State last August by 90,000 majority, two questions present themselves, which it would be welT for Republicans to consider. The first is, has the “tidal wave’’ of reaction set In so strongly that 40,000 Democrats of Kentucky will vote for Git ant next Tuesday ? The other is, does the Democratic party intend to colonize 40,000 men from Kentucky into Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, to influence the Elections in thcßC States? J2F“Thc time for talk is passed. Argument will avail hut little in the few days which now precede the election day. Discussion will make tyit few changes between now and next Tuesday. Six months is time enough for Americans to think'upon any question to arrive at ft decision. * The time for work has come. Let the prominent mcuof each township or school district come together and divide the work to be performed, assigning to each Ins special duty. Let every man know what he has to do, and then let him sec that is done. Find-how malty have wort pressing them and lend a helping hand so they may get out to the p#lls.
