The same paper contains the proceedings of ad-
ourned meeting Of tie Indiana State Ani-Slsvey So
cieiy.' he'd at Dalton, Wayne county July ls 1913,
and which passed the following resolution relation
the subject alluded to above:
Resolved that Governor Bigger of Indiana his official
interference for the exoneraon Of the most inhuman
villains the shape of callers from Just and
punishment has manifested the true character Of wicked
ruler whose conduct must have tendency TO cause the
people t. instead of making the hearts of the
righteous to rejoice the necessary consequence of the
actions Of righteous Governors"
How men expressing such sentiments in relation to
Gov Bigger, 60 to the polls and vote for him, the
Indiana Journal loudly calls upon them do. is
than we shall attempt 10 account for but that most of
the Abolition Wings will leave DR.. Denng in the lurch
and finally vote for Bigger have pretty good evidence
letter from Pike County in another column states that
all the Aboonis,s there will vote for Bigger. Letters
from other quarters tell the story and in the Del
phi Oracle find the following:
The aboirionsts have nominated a candidate for Con.
cress in the ninth district to oppose Chamberlain and
Sample. We look upon il as being all sham. The
Abolitionists have adidatr for Governor and 1t, Gov
ernor hut what whig abo,onist is going to vote for
either of them Wen bet the last red cent that DR. De
ming (who 10y the by, Is worthy and possess
lag more than ordinary talents will not get twenty votes
in Carroll county. Abolition is humbug. The leaders
bring out candidates without any intention Of supporting
them J."
So it goes-sre~t professions, but practice. In the
mean lime the Wings are continuing their secret ma
retain the support of the Aboli'ioniss The
strong appeal of the Journal must be fresh in the memory
of the people, the object of which ucualize the
effect of the speeches of DR.. Demiug
We may a, well state now what we have omitted to
do before that the Dr. in his speech here pumply stated
that the Wing Leaders had urged him to withdraw from
The track in order permit them accom- sh victory
And ore they urged why he should DO so, uas,
that the Wings the Candidates for Congress and Others
were known to he opposed TO the Gnnerasn If 1eras
this country and tina, the Aboor<is by running cam
dlates of their r-king the defeat of the wings
and the loss of their against which they
were equally .trenuousy opposed
In relation to this latter subject we fad letter in the
"Bos;on Ibera,or. of tie principal organs Of the
Aboli,ionists of May 90 1919 The letter is Gated Mi
