yrortom ON the Rampage

The Governor is displeased with the address Of
the Central Committee He is excited, in coDdI-
ton of extreme Inflammation. and terribly in
iated. He raves thus:
1.-The assumption that there il well founded
apprehension that those in authority In this state
will interfere by military power with the freedom
of elections is absolutely and wickedly false.
There is not one fact upon which such an appre-
hension can be based; not circumstance can De
referred to in the political or military history oil
the State during the existence OF this war JUST
fying or suggesting the charge IL y true that
this charge has been made before. but always
without an element of truth, for the simple pur-
pose of exciting and goadng the people into lille.
cal disl,vsl and dangerous organizations and
demonstrations against Federal and State au-
thority."
This Is no time for ranting, and the subject IS
one from the consideration of which the people
cannot be driven by bombastc threats and home
made charges against political opponents
We will meet the Governor on his own ground.
Is there well founded apprehension that those
in authority in this State will interfere by mill
tary power with the freedom of eectionsf
That such an apprehension exists in the minds
OF the people OF this State the Governor knows,
if his ears are not closed with determination
not to ascertain the common sentiment among
all classes. 1t is not passing thought. vague
speculation, bu. the deep, earnest, anxious, and
dreadful apprehension of men born to a heritage
Of freedom, who think they have reason to be
lieve that they to be stripped of their inheri
lance by force and fraud.
Governor MoRroS does know that this fear ex
ists he has his corps of paid spies and detectives
circulating i'm every part of the State. marking
every unguarded act. and recording every
thoughtIess expression of the people. The rich
and poor alike are watched. We have in full
operation the detestable system iDaugurated in
France by the first NAPOLEON.
Are these apprehensions we'll founded? This
question is answered BY the history of Governor
MoRrov's administration. Does it show that as
Governor Of Indiana he has labored to maintain
peace and good will. to secure the freedom and
purity of electons-that he has protected our
people in their rights citizens of free State?
He knows that since the war commenced there
has never been election in this city contested
by the Democracy. that his party friends, headed
by the police of the city. and backed up by sol
dIers from the camps, have not taken charge of
