INDIANA IN THE PAST.

The Republicans have not carried In
diana at the October election since 1868,
and then their majority for Governor was
only 961. In 1870 the Democl attic
majority on Secretary of State was 2,56S
In 1872 Mr.. Hendricks was elected Gov
ernor by LAS majority, and in 1874 the
Democratic majority On the State ticket
over the Republicans was 1889. The
Indiana State elections are held biennial
~. The Republicans of that State there
tore entered the campaign This year with
1899 Democratic majority against them
at the VeTy last election. Having gone
steadily Democratic since 1868. il may be
considered GO zee. pretty certain Democ attic
otate. Then, too, the nomination of Mr..
Hendricks for Vice President makes it
supremacy vital to his party that they
should carry the State at the October
election. Hence the Republicans there
are consending against powerful odds.

prepare t0 hold him and every subordinate who shall act under His instructions liable to the laws of the State which they shall in wade in its execution. While I cannot believe that he will ven ture practically to enforce these monstrous assumptions of power, yet it will be hest that he and those who propose to act under his authority should be confront ed with the results. I view tie action O. President Grant, with his secrctarics of war, the navy and the interior, and his attorney general acting, as they are repro scnted to have done, in consnlta- tion and concert with Sherman. the general of the army; Chamber. lain the governor of one ofthe States; and Patterson so called Senator from South Carolina, in no other light than a conspiracy to invade the plainly reserved right of the states to hold free elections under their own authori- ty. If such attempts escape puB- lie reproduction, or if the people of all the states remain blind to their danger and permit them selves carelessly UT wilfully to be led by their votes into maintain ing in power any party so led and so sustained, my hope of constitu- nonal liberty on this eontinens will have fled.

 We are gratiiied that this dis tinguished Missourian, now a cit izen of Colorado, has been nomi- mated by the Democracy of that young State for Governor. We knew General Hughes in 1856, wren he resided in St. Joseph, and then he ranked as one of the ablest members Or the Western bar, . public spirited gentleman, and universal regret was express ed when he concluded to cast his lot elsewhere. In placing him in the lead the Democracy of the new State has done well, for no once Is more competent to carry the old battle scared banner on to victory with more nerve and ability than Bella NJ. Hughes, amt he will successfully plant it upon the mountains and unfurl it in the valleys of that richly endow GU commonwealth, and prove him self worthy of the honor oonferred upon him. He is a son of Gener- al Andrew Hughes, one of the llrst settlers in Upper Missouri, having been Indian agent for years, and is cousin of Judge Charles r. Hughes, our efficient and popular County and Probate Judge.

- LAWLESSN ESS.

We see from the Corning (Clay County) Express, that very re- gently band of nine armed and masked men visited that place one night and by intimidating threats and q free display of pis- tols and arms forced the jailor to release a prisoner from jail. The prisoner was . man of very bad character and stood charged with participation in one or two of the gravest crimes.
 Now such proceedings as this must be stopped. The supremacy of the law must be upheld, and the power of the civil authorities must be made so strong that no man or set of men will dare step in between it and the punishment of criminals. The citizens of the different counties must take a more decided and bold stand. The whole moral aid and counteh- ance of the people must back the officers and the courts, in the ap- prehension and fair investigation and trial of every person charged with a crime. Evil doers must be made to feel and know that they have no sympathy from the people, and that their desper- ate characters and deeds will not intimidate the masses into silent submission to their deeds of law lessness, Let it be distinctly un- derstood that when crime is committed there will be a full and searching investigation, and no peace or countenance for the of fender until he is brought to trial and honorably acquitted. And if found guilty, let it be known that there is no escaping the penalty prescribed by law. Whenever this state of affairs is brought about VIC will have no more of such troubles as has recently oc cured in Scott md Clay counties. Let the peace loving, law-abiding citizens of every county pledge their whole aid and influence to their officials in the suppression of crime and lawlessness.

The Degraded Senate,

The Republican Senate has stood in the way of all substan- tial reforms throughout the eight months and a half that Congress has been in session. There is not rcdceming feature in the proceedings of the majority.
 Every measure of the session looking to the retrenchment, economy, and improvement in the civil service, has originated In the Democratic House. If measures of this class have becn finally passed, it has happened only after a protracted struggle, in which the Democrats of the House stood squarely up to the work, while the Republican lead. CTS in the Senate did their best to defeat them. In the entire histo y of the session there cannot he found solitary exception to this sweeping remark. In this re- spect the present Senate has made the most infamous record Tn the annals of that body.
 The republicans now have q majority of nine in the Senate. The terms of seventeen of the Re publican members expire in March next. There is every req son to believe that the Democrats will secure enough of these seats to give them majority of two Tn the next Senate. Then, with a majority of reformers in each branch of Congress, and with SAM TILDEN in the White House, the country will turn over q new leaf indeed.

"WE CAN say this much: that the support we give Cooper is given con' scientiously. Can you say as much for Tilden ?''-Carlisle Prairie Flow l CT.
 , Yea, yea, verily and heartily we can. We could not conscientiously do otherwise and claim to be in fas yor of reform and a correction of the manifold abuses of power which have grown out of republican rule. We know, as well as we know any thing, that there is not the ghost of a chance for the election of Cooper. We don't suppose the Independent Grecnbackers themselves think there is. Knowing this, we do not see how any Democrat can think he is doing his duty to throw away his vote on that ticket. It is not hard for us to understand why Independ- ent Republicans support that ticket, for the fearful record made by the administration party is enough to drive from it's fold any honest man and these Independent Republicans not having the manhood to come out squarcly for an honest Democrat, naturally fall in with the Cooper squad. But why q Democrat who believes in the restoration of our government to it's former purity ,and who opposes the unlawful encroach- mcnts upon forbidden grounds, and the outrageous innovations upontime- honored customs and precedents of of our forefathers, should desert the grand old democracy and fly from the support of its regular nominct who stands high up in the estima- ton of his fellow-citiZcns as q man of great talent, sterling integrity and powerful executive ability, is indeed one of the mysteries of poli- tics. We do not doubt your word when you say you act conscientious | ly, but we are astonished at the mis- erable judgment you display.

AN INIQUITOUS PROPOSE
 TION

We see from the reported pro ceedings of the Indian Commis sion that it is proposed to remove the Sioux tribe and locate then in the Indian Territory. This, the report says, is the only territo ry which, in the opinion of tue President, is suited to the purpose
 If it is the wish of the President to create little hell on our yves tern border; to pat an effectuaI and positive stop to the extension of civilization and enlightenment into the Indian Territory; to re. mand that country and it's present inhabitants back into state of barbarious and uncivilized life from which they are now rapidly emerging; and to make Western Arkansas unfit and undesirable for the home of any peaceablc man, his suggestion is a move in the right direction. We can scarcely imagine any measure which could be better calculated to stop all improvement, development and prosperity on the Western border of our State. Even with the half civilized tribes of Indians who at present occupy that territory, it requires the constant care and un- remitting energy of large num- Der of Marshals to keep down dep relations and murders; and, with all thelr care and watching it is found necessary to hang half dozen or so of the red skins every year
 What kind of q pandcmonium might we expect with Sitting Bull and his murderous tribes placed at our very doors9 The proposi- ton is outrageous and the conse quences would be so terrible that  we shrink from the idea. If there in any measure which the friends of civilization and human ity should oppose this is certainly just such an one.

"There will be no child's play or parleying," says General sherman in regard to Taft's Election Circu- lar, but the Soldiers will shoot" In other words the object in tlis case is to make short, sharp and decisive work of it. The moment a provocation is found or fabrica- ted for interference at any poll, the Democratic voter may as well make up his mind at once that his boasted right of self-govern- mcnt is myth, and his constitu- tional prcrogatives snare and a delusion. The soldiers will shoot"-that tells the whole story.

CHE Eastern ring whoee policy 1ilden advocates is not in sympathy with the South. His personal inter- crest is to adhere strictly to that ring and it would prove suicidal to his career as popular president to show the South favors beyond a certain limit.-Carlisle Prairie Flower.
 Never was greater injustice done any man than the Prairie Flower does Samuel J. Tilden, when it ac- cuses him of subserving a ring. When or where has there ever been a man who has waged such a sue cessful war on rings of such power and magnitude as those which $. J. Tilden, as Governor of the great State of New York, has routed and driven from power. Mr. Tilden has made his whole popularity as Gov ernor, by his manly fight against the powerful rings of New York, and there never was such an Oppor~ tunity for any man to make a popu~ lar president as will be offered to Mir. Tilden. There is no one under stands this better than Mr. Tilden {; and so far as his personal interest is concerned IT Is WITH THE SOUTH, for everybody now knows and feels that prosperity and peace in the South is absolutely and positively necessary before relief can be had from the crampcd and strenuous times which have made the investment of capi- tai and the proceeds of labor so un- profitable in the north during the past few years. The interests of the two sections are mutual and recipro- cal and no ore understands this bet ter than one like Mir. Tilden, who has large capital which will scarce ly yield enough profit to meet taxes. Mr. Tilden's personal and hnancial interest is to build up and restore activity in commerce and industry In the south. So far is any fayors toward the Soulh are concerned. she asks none, seeks none. All she asks is equal rights to control and man. age her own affairs; to be placed up- on an equal footing with other states; to have discriminations against her stopped :; to be guaranteed protection from unlawful Federal interference with her domestic affairs. This is all she asks; all she needs. This she will get when Mir. rilden becomes Pres ident; and this it is which will rem der "his career as a popular Presi- i ident" one of the most brilliant of these modern times.

RUSSELLVILLE, POPE CO.,, ARK. THURS]
AFTER THE FIRST SKIR-
 MESH.

The first skirmish in the great national campaign has taken place. In three places along the line the advanced forces have met and tried their steel, and we must say that the out look for the De mocsacy is cheering In Yer mont the full returns show fall ing off in the republican majori- ties of something in the neighbor- hood of 5000 votes. In our own state we have a grand Democratic majority oc 10000. Our full vote has not been boiled. Dissatisfac- tion in many of the counties with the marner Tn which county can didates were brought out destroy ed the zeal and interest of the voters and many remained at home. Want of q proper organi- zation aided in keeping many Democratic voters at home. At the November election we will have solid vote of the Democrat. ic party and Tilden & Hendricks wjllreceiye from Arkansas n round 50,000 majority.
 In Maine, notwithstanding the hard work that was done by the Republican stump orators, their majority has shrunk some 5000 below their average. The vote was the largest and fullest ever given, and the Democratic gain is ominous to the republicans,
 Summing up all indications thus far there is ample cause for the Democracy to be Of good cheer, and to cheer on the Demo cratic leglons to full organiza- tion and perfect discipline for the November election. If the Democracy of the Union does it's duty, there is no power short of the most infamous fraud and for cible suppression of the Demo cratic vote, which can defeat Til den and Hendricks at the Novem- Der election.

THE PULASKI COUNTY
 ELECTION.

We had earnestly hoped and fully expected that the election in our whole State on the 4th of September would be so fair, free and openly conducted tha. there would not be the least ground for a single compaint from our republi- can voters and aspirants for office. Especially were we desirous that the conduct of the election officers in Pulaski county should be above feproach. We do not say now that there IS any true cause for accusations of fraud against the managers of the election in that county, but that there has been such bungling and unbusiness like work made of it that even up to this date it is abso- lutely impossible for us to tell who the voters of Pulaski county intended should be their officers, cannot be denied. This has given our opponents cause for cry of fraud and corrupt manipulation on the part of the democrats. We hope there has been no fraud and no criminal manipulation of the actual vote cast, for we have no more countenance for frand by democrat than we have for fraud by a republican. Corruption is corruption, and be he democrat or republican who engages in it, we say down with him. We believe in a faiH free expression of the will of the people at the ballot box, and a correct and true return and connt of their vote; and then we believe in the expressed will of the majority going into full effect without resistance or hindrance on the part of minolities. If there has been no fraud in Pulaski county we hope such may be clear ly shown in the contest at law which is likely to ensne before the matter is settled.

JUST before the Stewart-Newton faction of the Congressional Conven- ton adjourned resolutions were adopted authorizing the majority ot the executive committee, with the consent of Judge stewart, "to do any and all things necessary to the harmonizing cfthe party" This all sounds very nice now after that fac ton by their unjust, unfair and un- democratic exactions have sever- ed the party in that district. If they cared anything for harmony and reconciliation why did they not act fairly and squarely and organ ize the Convention on just basis of representation Upon them will rest the blame, for any evil conse- uucnces which may cnsue.

TIE Little Rock Herald of last Saturday has a fair article on the result of the Congressional ConVen- ton, and places the responsibility for the split where it justly belongs The only fault we find with the Herald article is that the writer at tempts, after showing clearly where the ccnsure lies, to trim so as to cs- cape the "dilemma" of deciding be> tween two democratic candidates. This is not like the Herald. Why fear to come out for that which you believe to be right? Democratic papers in the State must take a stand in this matter and show that they arc not going to tolerate trick cry and unfair dealing in anybody be he what he may.
