The negro suffrage amendment finds
cold comfort in the West. Indiana re-
spudlates il at the. special election held for
the epurpose The Democrats in the State
Legislature resigned, in order to prevent
the passage of the amendment, and ap-
pealed to the people. The result is that
they are all triumphantly reelected
Forty-six counties voted, and the partisan
dispatch Of the Associated Press, dated
Indianapolis. 23d March, speaks as fol
lows Of the result:
In nearly every county the resign
ing members were renommated, and in
all they were elected, only such as were
certain Of reelection having resigned.
-I44 very few counties was there any oppor
sitie n !; IN aitheyote was light being inn
possible TO awaken interest over the issue.
Tt IS very plain that the writer of this
despatch suffers in no light degree from
the 6esalt, He and his party will be made
even more uncomfortable before they
get through with this business. This
sa,tieas sof sdndiana, and the refusal OF
GeQrgiav TO Fatify, for which we have
to thank Governor Bullock and his Re
publican friends in the Legislature, set
lie tie fate OF the fifteenth amendment
lis defeat now is next to certain. We
count against it Oregon, California Ken
.tIchy, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, New
sJersey, Georgia, and Indiana-nine
,States. 81 Ten are sufficient to defeat it,
tand Connecticut alone would endit. We
observe that both Pennsylvania and New
York failed to ratify, and it. would seem
that the Republican members ofthe Leg.
islafnres or these States cannot be got up
TO the mark. This issue will enter into
al the alituInnal elections, and the issue
WI If disA Astrous to the Republicans, be-
