NOW THE DEMOCRATS WILL
FLEET TlLDEN.

That most sagacious of political news.
papers, the State Journal, has ascertain
ed all about it, We refer 10 the deep,
dark and almost damnable plan by which
the Democrats intend to secure the cleo
ton of Tilden to the presidency. In a
most solemn council OF war the Bourbon
commanders the Journal dcsig-
mates the patriotic leaders of the Demo
cratic party--havc resolved to spend
neither time, money nor wind upon any
Of the Western States with the excep ton
of Indiana. In Indiana these wicked
Bourbon commanders" will, in n most
shameful manner, contest mildly for
success at the October election to pre-
went an impression that they have met
their Waterloo in n preliminary skirm-
'ish." This part OF the plan is, we are
sure no man will deny, an outrage upon
the brave men--thc gallant Radicals
who saved the Union from destruction
by the hosts of treason. 1t is more ;
it is an infringement OF the
rights secured to the colorea man by the
war amendments diabolical Conletier-
ate trick to get possession of the govern
ment. When Democrats come to the
conclusion that they will contest mildly
for success in Indiana at the October
election, beware!
But this is not all. In addition to the
mild contest proposed in Indiana, the
"Bourbon commanders" have also-so
saws the ACCOMPLISHMENTS to adhere
to the following plan of campaign
/. Organize and carry all the Southern
States. TO do this they are to stop at
nothing short of success. Southern Re
publcans. white and black, are to be
overa we'd and shot. il necessary.
2. 10 Hood the State of New York
New Jersey and Connecticut with speak
ers, and to substitute them with money; or
ganizing all the schemes of ballot-bon
stutfing, repeating, and the importing o
votes so well understood and so Ions
practiced by Samuel j. 'Tilden.
This deep and damnable plan should
arouse every Radical into action
| ~ tho Democrats orr""iIe AM

nope is their for the Radical gentlemen
who have hold OF the public teat, and ar,
crying: LET down your mlik, sake T.
| None Whatever. We must be permit
| ted to doubt--thc Journal will, we hope
permit us to say,-that the Bourbon
commanders have concluded to overaw,
and shoot the white and black Republi
cans of the South. The JoujUd
has been trapped by groundles
fears into making this charge, or else no
fearing it has been guilty Of willful false
hood.
The second part of the plan is also aw
tul. 1t is a reelection upon our ciyiliza
ton that the "Bourbon commanders
should conclude to flood the States {
New York, New Jersey and Connection
with speakers, and actually pay thel
for their labor. 1t would be bad enoug
to flood those States with speakers nc
paid, but to Hood them with paid speab
ers is treason to the Union. But tn
journal must permit us to say that it
mistaken when it says the "Bourbo
commanders" have concluded to stuff tn
ballot-boXes, repeat and import voters
and that these tricks have been long pra'
triced by Samuel j. Tilden. The Rad
Gals, through the labor of its Davenport
: using the public moneys, has been in Il
habit, as every person knows, of corrup
ing the ballot-boX, but there is no Rad
cal paper in the country, with the excel
ton OF the journal, so reckless of Il
/ truth as to say that Samuel j. Tilden III
ever even been suspected of ballot-bo
stutiin.. Samuel j. Tilden is the enenl
of corruption in elections, and the Jo0n'
) knows this TO be true. The Joi0mai II:
stretched the truth-as usual.
