that there is no hope of any agreement hy any

The Odds against the Democrats.

If the Democrats triumph in Indiana
or Ohio tomorrow, it will be victory
against tremendous odds. Not only has
our party to gain enough of the white
people from the Republican side to over
balance thousands of resident negro
voters added to the Republican party, and
other thousands that will be run into the
State from Kentucky and other adjoining
States, bu. they have to meet and coun-
act the weight Of the whole government
backed by the money and influence of its
hundred thousand Office holders. Thous-
ands OF these men have gone to Indiana
and Ohio to vote illegally where they can,
and to purchase votes where they find it
possible. They have become desperate
and are pushed forward by Senator Nor
ton, leader that is wholly unscrupulous
A defeat in either of these States now.
with such odds in their favor, they know
is defeat at the Presidential election in
November, when every voter will be re.
CURED in his own State.
In fact we have been told within the las
day or two that the Republicans at Wash
ington have for week openly declared t.
their friends who had become doubtful
that they need shave no lear for Indiana
that measures had been taken to rendel
defeat impossible" What those mea
sures are we do not know. 1t may hav,
been that their allusion was to the pur
chase of and withdrawal of the Green
back candidate, or it may have been tn
stuffing of the ballot boxes and the i'm
portation of voters and the repeating O
negro votes. However this may be, W.
believe that should Indiana and Ohio O
against us by a small majority they will g
for Tilden and Hendricks in November
when there will be possibility of secur
ing fair vote, while if it goes for us nov
it will be a death blow to Hayes an
Grantism.

men Tor petty offices and raise the banner
OF free speech and labor" When the
democratic party of the South adopts in

the civil rights of the negro, we shall hear
no more of the color-line or Southern ont
