BALLOTS GoING WEST Washington,
October 5.-For two or three day the west
ern trains have gone out laden with clerks
and others going to Ohio and Indiana to
vote. Every inducement has been offered
to get as many as possible, and hundreds
have gone who have really no bona .fde resi-
dence in either of the States. Free tickets
are furnished to all, with the understanding
that they are to vote the Republican ticket,
and in not few instances many OF those
who have gone have been provided with
handsome suits OF store-clothes. A large
proportion OF these people have been living
here for years, voting in the local elections,
and with no idea OF ever returning to the
States from which they came.-1eIegrafa an

WHAT PRESIDENT GRANT SAID IN A SPEECH
TO some PENNSYLVANIA NEGRoEs.-The
President in response thanked the Club for
the honor done him, and expressed bis graft
tication at the assurance given in their be-
half that in common with the people of their
race they were faithful to the Union on
the basis of freedom and equality Of politi-
cal privileges for all men. He said that it
was feared that in some sections Of the coun-
try colored men would not be left as free to-
exercise the rights OF citizenship as they
were here, but to the extent of the power
invested in him it was his purpose to see
that every man of every race and condition
should have the privilege of voting his SEN
timents without violation or intimidation.
When this was secured we would then, and
only then, deserve to be called free Re-

POLITICAL.
Anew View of tho Situation liz, radiana
Especial correspondence Chicago Times.]

The Republicans having already spent
over 100000 in Indiana, and the Democrats
not having spent one tenth Of tnat amount,
the latter arc certainly having the best of it
up to date. What money they have to spend
they have on hand, and are ready to put it
where it will do the most good. They have
themselves aud their resources we'll in hand !;
they are entrenched behind a majority
after the negro importations are added to
the Republican total-of 5000. to 10000
votes. After all their enormous eXpendi-
lures, are the Republicans still in financial
condition to outbid the Democrats and get
away with the victory? Having reduced
the problem to this very simple form,
leave its solution to the political mathemati-
clans of both parties. 1t is merely now
matter Of dollars and cents-simple decimals,
whose working does not exceed the intellec-
tual scope OF the average schoolboy.
| may add here the remark OF the Repub-
lican politician in Lafayette, who said:
'sThc Republicans will carry Indiana in
October because they MUST hare IT."
1t is not at all complimentary to either
party to thus trace probable results, and to
find that their shape and quality will de-
pend wholly upon wholesale iobbery in
votes and upon ballot-boX stuhing; but such
is the fact, whatever degree OF shame may
attach to the conclusion. II any man sup
poses that from this date the Indiana CAM
paign will be conducted with reference to
other than financial agencies, he is either a
wilful or an unwilling fool. 1t will be q
battle of barrels Of money. If the Repub-
licans can and will expend at the rate OF
three barrels to one expended by the De-
mocracy, they can carry the State in Octo-
Der. Otherwise not.

The trial OF Jane Williams accused OF
the murder Of her father ON the night Of Aug. Z,
commenced at Portage on Monday, aud ended
on Wednesday with an acauittal. There was
probably no doubt in the minds of the jury but
that jane Williams drove tho fatal shears into
her fathers side on that night, but II was also
evident that there was desperate hght between
father and daughter. and that his strong hands
were ON her throat. aud II was for her to Kill or
be killed. We give James testimony:
Our family. since my mothers death, was
father, my brother. william, aud myself My
