THE SOLDIERS.

The tables have been turned, and the Demo
cratic soldiers this week have had possession
of the Indiana metropolis. The RAIDS two
weeks previously held soldiers and sailors
convention; every effort had been made 10
bring out a crowd, but had failed completely
for AT no time was there more than G,OUO
soldiers present, and large majority of these
were democratic veterans who soon became
djspusted with the way the affair was manag-
ed. Supposlug it was general meeting they
attended but finding the affair whisky ring
blow out openly protested; tor which they
were branded by all the radical press and ora
tors as doughfaces, copperheads, rebels and
traitors. The democrats thereupon called a
meeting of democratic soldiers and sailors At
the same place on the 9th. Of its success
there can be no question: special says
"The capital city of the Indiana battle-ground
has been the scene today of political de-
monstration without parallel in the history
of the Hoosier state. During the days OF
1866, when politics came up to fever. heat, and
back in 1910, great gatherings have been wit
messed, but this days parade, in size and IN
enthusiasm, stands alone. Political veterans
who remember old.tiiue displays are amazed
a, the sight, and predict that many cam
paigns will come and go before anything
com parable to i, will be witnessed in this re.
gion. Such a harvest Of democratic soldiers
and citizens has been gathered here on short
notice that the mystery seems to be where
they all came FROM" The radical press can
not conceal their chagrin at the success OF
the meeting, and vent their spleen in calling
the visitors "plugugglies, rebels, and loaf
ers"
Conspicuous ia this disrcputablc crowd
we're ex.governors by the name of Curtin and
Bigler, of Pennsylvania; Palmer, of Illinois;
Blair, of Michigan, and Parker, of New Jer-
sew. Generals Corse and Farnsworth, of Hi.
no,s, and host of prominent soldiers of the
late war from other states, were also noted as
leaders among the "rebels and plug.uglies."
The meeting has made the RAIDS feel that ev-
en- the last prop of the party is being taken
from under them-the soldier, who has al
WAYS been the object of their dearest love
about election time. The democrats have
claimed from the beginning of the canvass
that republican soldiers were leaving the par
ty of plumber and oppression, and were
seeking information and truth by attending
democratic meetings and reading democratic
documents with the intention of voting the
democratic ticket this fall. Here is irretraga-
BILE evidence that the party Of the whisky ring
and official punderers is going down and the
old hatred of rebel and yankee going with it,
and that the day Of peace cometh.

state, and used every resort to carry it; and
so successful were they, as they thought, that

CHANGED BASIS"

Last week we said that in southern states
where the basis" has been changed from re-
publican to democratic the best results have
followed. Whereupon the Republican says
at is true that the basis in those states has
been changed, but 1t is not true that the bless
ings enumerated have been realized" We
reatilrm that the blessings have been real
lied. Take Georgia, which since 1871 has
been under democratic rule in the state low
taxation, trlfing state debt, Though the rad
zeal Bullock had nearly stolen the entire state
land and all, but short time before 1871,
and good credit; and It is matter of fact
that not only is Georgia the most prosperous
state OF the south, (having been the longest
gu, of republican hands but the negroes own
more real estate and pay taxes on more prop
erty than in any one of the states under repub
ncan rule; and in every state of the south
that has been redeemed from radical hands,
the event has Immediately been followed bv
great financial reforms, and economy of ad-
minis,ra,ion.
One would think from the way these godly
radical.sheets howl that all the intimidation
and persecution, and ostracism IN the south
are the work of the democrats; yet it is mat
ter of history and fact, and the Ottawa Re.
publican knows it, that in South Carolina,
Louisiana, and Florida this has been regular
" pracuced and is still practiced, even more
vigorously than by the democrats, and that
the republicans are to-day using that force to
carry those states. What are the causes OF
these South Carolina outrages? The negro
is naturally kind and gentle, and is not vic
ious unless stirred up. That they are harm
less when not disturbed is shown by the con
fidence their masters put In them during the
war when the planter lett his negroes un
guarded TO run his plantation and lock after
his wife and little ones. And he never had
any trouble. But now it is different, and be
cause in c. g., South Carolina under re-
publican rule the Office holders have lived or

people have grown POOR, their are-faced cor

POOR BLUFORD.

The radicals are promising reform; they
have been promising it very long time; and
If the people wait for them to reform any,
thing, the present generations will die ont and
after them the third generation will be found
waiting for it. The following, from the
Springfield Register, shows ROW rapidly the
party hacks are proceeding in this direction
1t has been whispered about town for some
days that Hon Buford Wilson was 10 make
great speech here in the interest of Hayes
Wheeler and Culom, and 1t was promised
that the address should be made at the wig
wan tomorrow night But it now appears
that the leaders of the party protest against
allowing Maj. Wilson to speak in behalf OF
the republican ticket, John 4. Logan and
Charley Farwell swearing they will 90 out oi
the canvass if Wilson goes in. The latest In
formation is that Maj. Wilson will not speak
tomorrow, and il is doubtful IL he speaks
here Mt all The henchmen OF Logan & Co
about here and the whisky ring protest
against his speaking. The fact Is that vii
son. when he assaulted the whisky ring
struck a blow at the republican party which
the leaders cannot forgive. He made an hon
est effort 10 break up the whisky ring, and
was so energetic and efficient thar 1t required
the most strenuous exertions of the admins
tra,ion TO defeat his purpose. Like Other
honest men who desire that the laws shall b,
enforced, he finds his position IN the repub
lIcan party very uncomfortable.

The estimate made by the republican head;

TO saO3, 099.025. The democratic House al
lowed them only slSs, 752 $40, but the Senate
increased it to s15s, O,59s. This sum was
reduced by the House TO Sl47,7l0,014, which
was the amount of the appropriations actual
" made. The House thus reduced the appro
priations S29,994, 253 below those of lastyear
and S55,319,95l below the estimate for this
