SHELBYv1LLE, Ind, Septe ember 2.-Hon.
He says he has yielded to his friends, and
will make this and few other addresses TO
the people. He said:
In q recent speech Governor Morton said:
SIN such a campaign, with slander as the
chief weapon, the Republicans must be ex-
cused if they speak plainly Of the political
character, history and purpose Of their an
tagonlsts."
that speech there remained no question
that the campaign, SO far as Mr..
Morton could give it character, was
correctly described as one of SLAM
der. No man of intelligent observation
has failed to see that misrepresentation of
the motives of the Democrats is the pur-
port and policy of the press and speakers
of the Republican party; they charge con-
duct, attribute motives, and impute senti-
ments and opinions wholly unknown to the
parties; language is attributed which was
never used. or SO misquOted and gar
bled as to impart a meaning never
intended. A cause must indeed be
desperate when its vindication requires
q resort to means 90 despicable
and wicked. In this great centennial year
he could not reply as he was attacked.
| What is the truth and your duty and aim
| in respect to the South! I but repeat nv
lei tor OF acceptance when 1 say that all the
people must be made to feel and know that
once more there is established q purpose
and policy under which all citizens of every
condition, race and color, will be secure
| in the enjoyment Of whatever rights
| the constitution and laws declare, or
| recognize, and that he is dangerous enc
my Of his country who would arouse Or fos-
| ter sectional antagonism. In but two South
| ern States is there bloodshed and death be-
! tween the races; in these States alone
| Louisiana and South CarOlina-is the Re-
publican party dominant. In every other
State OF the South tho people have recov-
| cred and restored the American right and
power of selt-government, and the negro
race has ceased to be the tool Of party, and
peace and harmony prevail, and prosperity
Is rapidly returning to all.
Governor Hendricks spoke of the restOra-
tion OF harmony in Arkansas and M,ssis-
sippi after the overthrow of the Republican
administrations therein. He said the same
story tells the history of North Carolina
and Texas and Alabama. Wby not restore
Louisiana and South Csrolna to the bless.
