The Indiana DemOcracy-Address to
the Democracy Who Have not
Sold Out.
To the Democracy OF Indiana

To the Democracy OF Indiana
The unholy alliance OF alloyed Republican
and unauthorized Democratic politicians at
Cincinnati and Baltimore, bywhich the Dem
ocratic party is bargained to the support Of
its lifelong defamer and falsifer, Horace
Greeley, must not be permitted to succeed.
To that end National Convention gof Dem
ocrats who are not to be coerced into the
support of Republican for President will
be held in the city of Louisville, on the Sd
day of September. In that Convention the
straight-out Democracy of Indiana must be
largely represented.
We have thousands among us who will not
bow the knee to this political Baal; who see
no occasion for turning their backs upon the
past, all glorious as it is with the brilliant
record of contests made and victories won
when principle and not place was the party
shiboleth, when its brave leaders were above
purchase, and having opinions dared main
tain them; who will not be transferred to
the political custody of their most inveterate
foes, and compelled to cast their votes for
the man who has steadily opposed every dis
tinctively Democratic principle for nearly
forty years, who has stood in the face-front
Of every battle against them where their de-
feat has been most calling and severe who
has originated the fierce party slogans which
have pushed on the Republican party to
every extreme of party hate and violence !;
who originated and defended the policy
pcuplC anu nuu0
bankrupt the governments of one entire Sec
tion OF the Union, dragged from their homes
its citizens and consigned them to weary
imprisonment in the dungeons of his own
State, and trampled under foot its local
and State Governments; who clamored for
the infamous Bayonet bill, and crowned his
iniquitous political life by demanding the ex-
tension to the State of New York of that
great Congressional crime, the Ku-K Klux law,
for the purpose of driving from the polls the
large Democratic vote of that State; who is
the high-priest of that absurd system of po-
litical economy which has driven American
commerce from the seas, built up and fos-
tered the vast monopolies of the country,
making capital inimical to labor, and It's pos
SCISSORS the oppressors of the laboring man;
and who still claims that he is Republi-
can--Democrats who hold that there is some
thing higher in the present campaign than Is
embodied in the paltry catch words, "any-
thing to beat Grant" and are in favor of
maintaining the old Democratic organiza-
tion, not only for what is great and good in
its past history, but for its grand destiny in
the future.
That these Democrats should be heard
from, and a singing rebuke given to the
self-constituted leaders who have attempted
to betray the Democratic party into the
hands of its enemies, it is suggested that i'm.
mediate steps be taken to accomplish an or
ganization in every Congressional District in
the State. Conventions will be held in each
District, due notice of which will be given,
for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the National Convention at Louisville.

Member of Executive Committee for Indiana.
