The Russellville Democrat., 1876-12-21
INDIANA TAKES the LEAD.
And proposes to have Inaugu-
 rated the men elected.


 tors, to consider the political sit, uation. Quite a number of prom inent politicians, including Gov. Hendricks and the State officers were present, in addition to a rep resentative from each congress- sional district. Ex-Congressman Julian who had been to Louisiana being called upon gave his opin- ion that the election in that state had been as quiet and peaceable as in Indiana, and that Tilden had carried that state overwhelmingly. He hoped the democracy would have pluck enough to stand up for thelr rights, and meet the erl- sis now. He was satisfied we should have no war.
 Gov. Hendricks was called on for his views, but the chairman reminded the meeting of the i'm. propriety of one so personally in terested speaking at this time.
 The members then give the sentiments prevailing in their respective districts as follows:
 First district The people be- lcived Tilden legally elected, and were disposed to see him through.
 Second district-Was in favor of the inauguration of Tilden and Hendricks.
 Third di. trict-Was but little eX X:itement among the people, but they were convinced ofTiltlens election, and were willing to fol low their leaders.
 Fourth district-Reqnested the state committee to demand the inauguration of Tilden, and favor, ed a state convention.
 Flith district-Wanted q State convention and were willing to meet the emergency, let it be what it may.
 Sixth district--Our people are in favor of seeing our men only installed into office.
 Eighth Willing for a peaceable solution of this ques tion, provided it results in the in auguration of Tilden.
 Ninth district-Gen. Manson said there was great excitement among his people, and some were inclined to go to extremes, hut he did not believe we ought to talk about war; he did not think q minority of the United States would insist on the inauguration of a president; ne felt there was certainly some way for pCacea ble settlement. The people can not afford . civil war Right is Right. He felt that the great honest republican party would see that the right is carried out.
 Tenth district-Believed Til den should be inaugurated; dep recated war talk, although some of the working classes were strongly inclined to do so.
 Eleventh district-There was a certain element decidedly for war but they were looking to the ac- tion of this meeting, and particu- larly wanted state convention to decide at once on plan to be pursued. The feeling is that we must have our rights-peaceably if we can forcably if necessary.
 Twelfth district--Were deter miaed Tilden should not be conn ted out. Submission now meant submission for all time.
 Thirteenth district--Were ex pecting this committee to take the initial steps to securing the inauguration of Tilden.
