THE pIsGRAcETUL REPORT OF THE Ku KLuN
| COMMITTEE.
There, gentlemen you have the-key noie,
The report Of Senator fcott Is TO contain
some startling revelations. The way Is
being paved, and your minds are being
prepared 10 receive facts which will DO n
lasting disgrace to the country. Ny opin-
| ion Is that the investigation by the Com
mittee, of which Senator Scott is Chairman,
Is the most lasting disgrace the country
Inns sustained since the earliest organiza-
ton of our government. But, be that ns /;
NAV, Aih willing to hazard my rcpnta-
lion upon the prediction that Senator
| Scott's report will contain nothing more
startling than the report which hnd in
tie Indianapolis journal of to day OF crimes
committed in your own State this week.
will read you a single paragraph from an
entire column OF the JoWnat:
"IryrrrsrSvIrrr, Nov. 1.-THE three negro mnr.

Now, gentlemen, what are you going to
! do? Here you have murders one day and
an orranizcd bard Of IN KluX oyerpow
erinc your bncers OF the law the next. In
south Carolina the President declares mar
tial law in cou.tics where it is alleged
that lnwlcss bands or organizations are
100 strong for the civil power. What will
he do here? Will he exercise his power
under the Ku klux bill and suspend the
privilege Of the writ of habeas corpus in
[ Clarke county, Indnna? II he is pure
I and Just man he will guard tie Interests
and the lives of the loyal people OF Indiana
against combinations of desperate and
lawless men MS rapidly and rs willingly as
he does those of the people Of South Caro-
lima. What have the people Of Indiana
done that they should be deprived of that
protection which the strong arm Of the
military power alone c.n g'Fe2 And
above AL why should that moral support
be withheld from them that is TO be alone
derived from n favorable notice at the
hands Of Senator Scotts Ku klux Com
mittee?
MORTON TIE AUTHOR or THE KU KLux BILL,
AND HIS OBJECT!
Gentlemen-thisw whole ku Klux business
is o Hmsy farce, gotten up by your own
! secator Morton for the purpose of tanning
| into a flame the dying embers OF an extn-
ruished volcano, and to divert the public
mind from the consideration Of the true is
cues. So long as the war feeling prevails
lie and his confederates in ctine can plum
der the public treasury with rs much I'm
punity as they could gamble away the State
funds on the gold board in New York dur
ing the war; and charge it TO the account OF
the soldiers. lie does not care il you do
nav three thousand dollars per mile as
ROYALTY to Pennsylvania on the railroad
iron that you are to lay upon the new road
Uhi5R Yea are constructing. He does not
care if you do pay two hundred per cent. to
New England on the wooden skirt worn by
your little daughter to school. He does not
care if American commerce, Which was
second to but one nationality on earth
when his party obtained power, has been
driven. from the seas and your American
ships left to rot on the dry docks. 1t is
matter Of no concern to him that the sur
plus wealth of the country is all drifting
in one direction. He cares not that the
railroad monopoles Of the East do combine
against the agriculturists of the West and
Sorlh.
Bur will not dReil Upon these matters.
You came out to honor me with your pres
euce, expecting to hear something about
Southern Sffairs--a candid statement of
facts, unbiased by partisan feeling, and
yor shall not be disappoi nied.
