The Indianapolis Journal publishes In-
formation going to show that extensive cleo
ton frauds are contemplated, and duly ar
ranged for. throughout the State, By the
friends of Hendricks. Large importations
of voters from Kentucky are part of the
scheme. We trust the Republicans of this
State will take care to protect the ballot
boxes, in every place, from such desperate
devices OF INSCRIPTIONS opponents. who
refuse to abide the verdict Of an honest
majority OF the people. Be on your guard.
Among other particulars, the Journal
states the following:
The great demonstration Of the 2ath ult
brought to this city several hundreds of
kentuckians. Of whom less than half re-
turned. This We know from the very best
evidence. The rest are scattered through
this city and this district. On Friday two
OF them applied to the proprietor Of an ex-
sensive establishment in this city for work,
and when questioned as to their business
and former residence. stated that they were
from Kentucky, and desired work for q
ninth or two.
A few days previous to the above occur
renee two men obtained work at a carpenter
shop In this city, representing that they
were entire strangers and desirOus Of tenn
porary employment. The same evening
they were seen in close consultation with
Robert L. Walpole.
After detailing the operations of this sort
in several counties, the Journal says, in con
clusion:
We let these facts 60 to the people. and
leave to our Republican clubs the duty Of
accepting the warning conveyed by them
While clamoring about election frauds. the
Douglasites are busiiy at work bringing il
their outside voters. and instructing then
dirt crawlers in the art of using them to
advantage. and making up the deficiency
by ballot stufing. if they should be found
little short.
