senator Bayard.

HE REGARDS INDIANA AS SAFE FOR THE
DEMOCRACY, AND CLAIMS OHIO ALSO.
Senator Bayard, of Delaware. re-
turned yesterday from his ten days
active stumping tour through Indiana,
with single squirt over to the great
meeting in Chicago last Tuesday night.
He stopped for the day at the Girard
House, and while there talked. not to
newspaper men for the obvious pur-
pose of "whistling" to keep the Demo.
cratic courage up, but to friends, Re-
publicans and Democrats alike, in the
sincere utterances of a conservative
man. He says he would not have left
Indiana and returned now to his home
had 1t not been conceded that the
State was fairly and irrecoverably in
Democratic hands. In his ten days
tour through the State at no point had
he met with evidences of a detection
in Democratic ranks, while at nearly
every place there were large desertions
from the Republicans. These latter
were still further demoralized by the
fright they have received from Ohio's
condition, an evidence of the extent of
which is seen in the stampede of all
their best speakers. Blaine, Ingersoll,
Schurz and others, to Ohio, giving up
their engagements in Indiana for the
purpose of gaining the lost ground in
Ohio. Morton and his confcrees had
been bold and aggressive here, but
they had lost their prestige and the
people would not believe them. The
only argument they had to fiaunt in the
faces of the hungry and tax ridden
people was "the bloody shirt" and
that was too remote a possibility to be
regarded. He confirmed the reports
that the German vote had gone almost
in solid mass to the Democratic
camp. The outpourings of the people
to the Democratic mass meetings he
describes as more wonderful than
lanything he ever saw in his life. As
to Illinois. to which State he was called
to speak last Tuesday night,at Chicago,
he says that single meeting will cause
a marked difference in the completion
Of the State. There has never been
such large meeting since the famous
campaign in that State, in 1860 OF
Stephen A. Douglas. Both States OF
Indiana and Ohio he confidently claims
for his party in the October elections

What Does Mr.. Adams MeamY

In his letter to the democratic meet
ing at Cooper Institute on Friday
evening Cnas. Francis Adams wrote:
1.-THE great effort Of the republicans
seems to be to operate on the popular
passions excited during the late civil
war. Instead Of repeating the honor
able call of President Grant, Let us
have peacer the cry is for raising what
may prove another war;" 1t is deci.
dedly unpleacant to hear of "another
war" from so moderate and cautious a
statesman as Mr.. Adams. Yet it must
be confessed thas the apprehensions
which he only hints has taken hold of
many other minds besides his. 1t is a
disagreeable fact that the anti-reform
republican leaders have acted in this
canvass with an INSCRIPTIONS and
reckless vehemence which gives to
many sober minded republicans the
fear that they mean to retain power at
all hazards. People..do not forget that
the "Union shriekers" of 1860 and the
years preceding verv largely turned
out mutineers against the Union when
they were defeated at the polls; and
the democratic canvass of 1860 resemo
bles in many of its worst features the
republican canvass of 1876. If the re-
publicans want to succeed in Novem-
ber they will do well to drop the
.'bloody shirt" to give up military in
reference in the Southern States aud
to begin, without the least delay, in
talking of reform and trying to inspire
the people with faith that the reform
wing OF the party is going to control
the next administration, il that should
be republican. If the Northern people
once get it into their heads that the
Mortohs, Logaus, Sargents, Spencers,
Kelloggs, Packards and Chamberlains
are to control the republican party they
will give so sweeping a majority for
the democrats as will leave the republi-
cans in hopeless minority for a quar-
ter of century.-N, n. Herald.

WILLIAM Z. DODGE, who neglects no

professed to be terribly shocked by the
order for exploding the mine under Hal
let's reef on Sunday, and TO exhibit him
self as a Sabbatarlan, whom the Lord
loved, charged that General Newton was
purposely delaying the explosion until
Sunday in order to make a Snowman of
himself. But like good many trumpet
tongued Christians, Dodge is not entirely
free from Hypocrisy. He is little ofthe
Artful Dodger himself, as some of his
Journalistic friends are beginning to re-
mind him. Dodge is largely interested
in immense iron works at Scranton, Penn
sylvania. q Some years ago he felt that
the salvation of the souls of the laborers
there employed depended upon shutting
down their work (and pay?) on Sundays.
The blast furnaces were shut down with.
out much loss on one Sunday. On the
next one of them chilled. After paying
$4,000 to blast out the mass of iron and
put the furnace in order Mr.. Dodge ar
ranged that the commandment should
