The Democratic politicians and newspapers
are very loud in their boasts OF carrying In.
diana, and they are, as matter of course,
making every exertion In their power to
achieve victory in this State in October. As
1t is the home Of Schuyler Colfsx, the prestige
ofcarrying It for the Democracy would be much
In their favor.
We take the following from the Boston
Journal:
" In order to see the grounds upon which the
Democrats reckon Indiana as one OF their
absolutely sure States this fall, 1t may be well
to look at the figures OF some Of the recent
elections. Up to 1880, Indiana was a Demo-
cratic State. In that year, Henry S. Lane,
since United States Senator, was elected gov.
ernor by the Republicans by 9,7S7 majority,
and month later Mr.. Lincoln carried the
State by 1854 over the vote for Douglas, and
6lsls over all the opposing candidates. In 1862
the Democrats were successful In eleoting the
Secretary OF State and some other secondary
executive officers, on account OF the absence
OF Republicans In the ARMY but In 1854, despite
all the exertions OF the "Knights of the Col
den Circle" the Republicans elected Oliver p.
Morton, governor, and chose Lincoln electors,
by over twenty thousand In each case. In
1896 the Republicans carried the State by about
the eleven Congtessmen. This was the last
general election that has taken place there,
and the Democrats were sanguine OF victory
until the votes were counted.
1.-THE Indiana Republicans are In q better
| condition to engage in a contest this fall than
| at any previous time since the war COM
menced. The party Is thoroughly united now,
| and the men who were too conservative to
support the Republican candidates for Con-
gress and other Offices in 1860, are now taking
the stump for Grant and Colfax. The popu.
larity Of General Grant and Speaker Coliax
IN Indiana will certainly secure for them the
entire strength OF the party, and the Demo-
Gratis will and that Il is easier to write the
name OF Indiana In the list OF States "sure
for Seymour and Blair" than II will be to elect
| electors who will vote Tor those gentlemen
The Congressional districts have been rear
| ranged since the last Congressional election
| and the Republicans are sure OF carrying min,
| Of the eleven districts, and possibly ten. On,
district, the Second, Is hopelessly Democratic
as no one OF the ten counties OF which II Il
composed gives Republican majority; blu
the Republicans can carry all the rest II theI
choose, and the accounts we have OF their con
duet OF the campaign show that they do no
mean to give the Democrats any undue an,
unnecessary advantage through inactivity
Judging from all the figures Of the past eigh
years and from the indications OF the present
Indiana Is no less likely to elect n Republican
| State ticket this fall than 10 Massachusetts
Maine or Vermont, and we think the Demo
| Gratis will find that they made grave mistak,
| In counting Indiana for Seymour.

WAS 1T a HoAXl-At the Democratic Con
vention at New York there were some resolu'
lions presented by a Mr. Wright as having
been sent by Alexander II, stephens, formerly
vice president Of the rebel confederacy. They
were read and received with becoming enthu'
SLASH, as of course anything coming from a
prominent rebel must be well worthy OF ap'
plause alta Democratic gathering. But Mr..
stephens has lately published note In one OF
the Nashville papers, saying 81 never sent
any resolution to the New York Convention.
and do not even know the gentleman (Wright)
who presented them" 1t becomes an inter
esting question, therefore, who prepared
these resolutions, and whether Mr.. Wright
played hoax upon the convention or had a
hoax played upon him.

The old man, with all the simplicity OF Gary,
