indianapolis, October 2.-We are coming,
Uncle Jimmy, 100000 strong. Garry the
news to every Democratic household in the
country that Indiana will elect Blue Jeans
| Williams Governor on tomorrow week.
The Democrats have got the Republicans Of
this State by the throat, and they are giving
them terrible shaking up. Every sim
gle county in the State has reported
| from twenty to two hundred gain
over the vote Of 1872. There is no use
talking now; the iig's up, the day is ours,
the child is born, and his name is Williams.
E. V. Smaliey, the intelligent correspondent
Of the New York Tribune, left for home
Saturday. Mr.. Smailey has been making a
thorough canvass in the State for his paper,
and speaking occasionally for the kid-gloyed
Harrison, but now he has gone. Captain
Thompson, OF the New York Herald, met
him at the depot in Columbus, Ohio. last
night, and accosted him with, "Halloo !!
Smalley, whittier goest thou?" "Me? Pm
going to New York" DWELL, how's Indi-
ana ?" s'The Democrats will certainly carry
it," was the flat-footed answer. Goodbye,
Smalley.
Morton is as mad as a March hare, and
says that the campaign has not been pro-
outs, and there is the devil to pay in the
Radical camp. "Money money!" is the
only cry, the only hope. Ohio is cursed for
being so close. have met dozen gentle
men from there to-day. They are enthused
all over at the bright prospects. The Ger
mans everywhere oil over the State are
f1ocking to the banner OF Tilden, Hen
bricks, and Reform.
Fifty able Democratic speakers left In
dianapoIs this morning for various points
in the State to I'LL their appointments. The
campaign this week will be boiling hot.
Northern Indiana meyer was aroused like it
is now. The Democrats OF that section are
doing noble and effective work. Leading
men in the party have quit their business
and gone out among the people to work for
the ticket. They are fearfully in earnest
and very confident. The Democrats Of
Lafayette have got tremendous bulge
on the Republicans, and are work
ing increasingly, day and night, to
| carry the district. Brown, Republi-
can, CARRIED it in 1878 by 603 ma
iority, and the Democrats this year hope
and claim to give it to Blue Jeans by that
much. The Democrats OF Fort Wayne are
making grand fight, and adding new re-
| cruits to their ranks daily. They claim
of Indiana, will give an increased majority,
and they are betting their money on the
Twelfth district giving Williams over 5000
majority. The Democrats Of Evansville,
Charlottesville, Logansport, Richmond, and
South Bend are putting in their best licks.
From every city, town, and county in the
State comes the news that the Democrats are
active and vigilant. There is strong proba-
bility now that the Democrats will elect
ten congressman out of the thirteen to be
chosen, as the Republicans will swap of
their congressman and everything for Har-
rison. This "swapping" business will
beat Sexton in the Fourth district, Cham
bers in the Sixth, and seals the fate Of
Brown in the Fifth. Poor Tom Brown,
they sacrifice him every time. Morton
swapped him off four years ago when he ran
for Governor so that he could obtain the
Legislature to elect himself to the United
States Senate. "Give two votes for one
for Harrison is the word sent out, and
many poor devil on the Radical State and
county tickets will be showed under by the
cruel and desperate command. But it is
"politics." o. o. S.
