be defeated. The people are max
ing up their minds upon these
matters, and the whippers-in Of
parties cannot influence them. We
believe in Democracy, and in sup
porting its nominees, when such
nominees are worthy of support
per Sc. If a nominee is found un.
worthy, cast him out. BY sticking
to unworthy nominees the Repub-
lican party has lost its influence
with the masses of the people, and
the Democratic party should profit
by the example. The high tax adj
vocates who believe in grinding the
people, in order that bond and cou-
pon.holders should be paid dollar
for dollar, should vote for Governor
Porter; but the low tax advocates
who, knowing the necessities of the
people, oppose paying these bond
and coupon-holders at present, and
who favor compromising, as other
States have done, with the State
creditors, should vote against Gov
ernor Porter. This is the plain
issue, and no subtle casuistry or
special pleading can make it other
wise. The cries of +" stick to the
nominees" and edo not become a
Radical" are all well enough, but
when a golden calf" is set up to
represent the bond and coupon
holders, do not ask a tax-ridden
and bankrupt people to bow down
and worship it. They beg leave to
be excused.

CHEERFUL READING FOR IRISH AND
GERMAN VOTERS.

John III. Wilson, Of Salem, Mass,
one Of the leading Republicans of
that State, and a warm supporter
of Hayes, made a speech recently
at a public meeting there which
should be read by every foreigner n
the land. If that does not convince
them that the Republicans are in
sympathy with Know-Nothingism,
pure and simple, nothing can. In
the course Of his remarks Mr.. VIII
son said:
In the heart OF the foreigner beats not
one single noble impalse-not one single
throb of patriotism. He 10 go british
aud degraded th3t he has no sympathy
for anything but cabbage and lager beer,
potatoes and buttermilk, or some other
abominable o~utlandish dish, only fit for

name Of Almighty God can they say il?

COST oE THEIHDIANA ELECTION

VIVA ~ -
The struggle hat ended on the
10th of October, says an Indianapo-
lis correspondent of the New York
Herald, in the victory of the Demo-
cratic and the defeat of the Repub-
lican party of that State was one of
the most remarkable ever witnessed
in the West. Forty millions Of
people were eager and anxious
spectators, and the actors in the
combat fully realized the fact.
Never was a State more thoroughly
penetrated by the %oratorical ennis
saries of both parties, more thor
oughly flooded with political tracts
and pamphlets, and more desper-
ately fought for through corrupt
and unlawful as well as through
legitimate means. The quantity of
money expended on speakers, on
tracts, professions, colonizers, re-
peaters, etc, by both sides musthlv
been enormous. The cost for the pro-
cassions of the two parties through
out the State | estimate roughly at
81, 100000; 500 speakers at $500
each, $25O,OOO; 5000, 900 docu-
ments at five cents each, s250,000;
10000 colonizers, repeaters, shout
der-hitters and m%ercenaries gener-
ally, at 800 each, 100000; con-
tingent expenses for rent, tele-
graphic dispatches, fxed-banners,
advertisements, posters, ETC., Sl,-
900, 1000; total, $5,OOO,OOO. Add to
this the loss to business by the uni
~yersal absorption of the population
in politics, about fifteen million
dollars, and you have a grand total
Of 800, 900, 900 as the cost Of the
recent canvass in the State of Indi-
ana. The mental and bodily wear
and tear 6ccasioned by the excite
mcnt of the contest, the late hours
and consumption Of the stimulants,
may be estimated as shortening the
lives Of the aggregate population o.
voters 100000 by at least twelve
thousand years. 1t was a costly
campaign, and the fercest eyel
fought in the West.

PARTY ~cLAP-TRAp.

1t is used as an argument by the
friends of Governor Porter that
every Democrat should vote the
straight ticket, even though the
Democrat may be opposed to Por-
ter, because they say voting for
Thomas would endanger the cleo
ton Of H. Casey Young for Con-
gress, as well as the election Of the
gentlemen who are the nominees of
the Democratic party for State
Senators and Representatives. This
is very adroit special pleading, but
it is too thin to fool any sensible
man. What has voting against
Governor Porter to do with the
other candidates? Nothing. Dor
sey Thomas is making the race
against Governor Porter and not
against our nominees for Congress,
State Senate or House Of Repre-
sentatives. But these plausible
gentlemen adroitly add that if you
fail to vote for Governor Porter, do.
not vote for his opponent. And in
this latter plea they give themselves
away and display their fears that
Governor Porter may not be re-
elected. All over the city can be
heard the warning "Ob, if you
vote against Governor Porter it will
injure Casey Young" OR sit will
injure our Legislative ticket" Not
at all, gentlemen; Colonel Young
and the Democratic nominees for
the State Senate and House OF
Representatives can take care Of
themselves, and Governor Porter
must take care Of himself. The
election or defeat Of Governor Por-
ter has nothing to do with either
the election or defeat of the above
named gentlemen, and even if j
had, no Democrat who opposes thc
eoupon-paying scheme should b
deferred from placing his vet
upon the aspirations Of tn
Governor. "Let every tub stanC
on its own bottom" is a trit
saying full of wisdom, and a tul
that cannot do so is not worthy Q
being supported in any other man
ner. If nominees expect to b
elected to Office by hanging on t
the coat-tails of Governor Porter
why some Of them may be disap
pointed. We believe Colonel Youn
will be elected by "a large majority
and the chances are %numerously i
favor Of the election of the count
Democratic ticket. Why, thei
these signs and tears and thef
prayers for Governor Porter BC
cause they begin to fear that he wi
