Frauds, like chickens, always come home to
roost. The official returns from Indiana fully
substantiate all the charges that have been
made of fraud on the part of the radicals to
prevent the election of Thomas A. Hendricks
as Governor of the State. Subjoined are the

That these S65 persons. who voted for Gov
ernor and refrained from voting for Congress
men we're not Democrat, is evident from the
fact that the Democrrtic vote for the latter ex-
ceeded by 264 that for Governor. They were
radicals, as is proved by the fact that in thirty
counties which gave majority for Baker
(Republican), the radical strength fell off on
the vote for Representatives in Congress, the
total decrease being SAG votes. That these
were cast by men imported from Illinois .and
Michigan, and perhaps from other States, does
ii 9 H. al..k
the only illegal votes polled by the radicals,
but that they were portion of them is sus-
tanned by irrefragible testimony.
The moral OF all this Isl
l. That Thomas A. Hendricks received
majority of the legal votes cast ia Indiana on
the 18th of October.
II. That Conrad Baker, the radical candi-
date, was not legally elected, and, if allowed
to take his seat on the lst of January will
dishOnor himself, his State his party, and the
country.
Ill. That the Democrats are in clear ma
jority in Indiana, as is shown by the aggregate
vote of each party for Representatives in Con-
gress; and
". That the electoral vote of the State can
be secured for Seymour and Blair if the DEM
ocrats will poll their full VOTE and prevent
their opponents from polling fraudulent ones.
Revolutionary Disfranchisement of the
NaturaliZed Citizen.
From the Washington National InteHtgencer.
During the late election in Pennsylvania,
! thousands of votes of naturalized citizens We're
rejected by the Republican judges, although
| their papers were in the customary form, au-
thenticsted by court of competent jurisdic-
tion. The only reason for this rejection was
| that these persons were about to vote the De-
| mocratic ticket. But the fact was that the in
! spectors of election undertook to go behind the
seal ,of competent court. By this outrage,
and by the colonization frauds, Pennsylvania
was carried for the Republicans by some 1000
majority.
In New York even a grander fraud was
contemplated, the number of naturalizations
| being, we believe, much larger. The radical
press came out boldly and announced what
they meant to do. The inspectors were to
reject the applicants for registration who bore
naturalization papers, or to make such delays
that they would not be able to get their
names on the list of registration. The gross
injustice and illegality OF this proceeding were
so apparent that Judge Henry L. Davies, a
Republican Judge of the Court of Appeals OF
| New York, has written letter declaring that
| regular certificate OF naturalization, under
the seal of the court, is conclusive evidence
of the facts therein stated aud also conclusive
evidence that all the preliminaries required by
law to establish right to naturalization have
been complied with" In support of this pro-
position Judge Davies cites various authorities.
The effect Of this opinion is to demonstrate
the utter lawlessness of the oontemp plated pro-
ceedipgs of this faction and the revolutionary
character of what they have done in Pennsyl-
vania.
Mr.. Champlain, Attorney General of the
State of New York, gives an opinion which is
in substance the same as that of Judge Davies,
and even stronger. 1t is needless to quote it.
BY the light of these authorities, and the
decision of that eminent and pure jurist,
Judge Sharswood, of Pennsylvania, we dis
cover this party, both in Pennsylvania and
New York, to be a party of revolution and
usurpatioD, defying the law, and carrying
elections by violence and fraud. The question
then is, not whether they or the Democratic
party mediate revolution hereafter, but
whether the people will submit to revolu.
ton already in progress by ruiians in broad
cloth.
Another aspect of this outrage challenges
attention. These impediments, utterly illegal,
are all thrown in the way of white men of the
North. At the same this party throws open
the ballet to every negro at the Southl II does
not ask whether they are paupers or not,
whether or not they are of "good moral charac-
ter" or have any intelligence or experience
to qualify them for the ballot. In the estima-
tion of this faction the negro is a much sups-
rior being to the German or Irish oiti-
zen SO much SO that in the case of one the
