THE MAN.
"If in such State there were a
man in whom her people confded,
even, 1T he were without National
reputation, such one might well
claim, on account of the State which
presented him, to confidence and
support Of the public. But there is
one whom the State has delighted to
honor; Of National service and re-
nown; of stainless character, and who
is presented for the sufirages of the
national convention.
"The Democracy of Indiana are
not against Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Bayard,
Mr.. Thurman, or any of the distin-
guished gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
the presidential canvass, but they
are for Mr.. Hendricks.
HE isnot "the man onhorsebackn
Hesis not the exponent of the special

and ripe experience as a statesman
and publicist, that if, by some disas-

of men, they might be supplied from

and his conscience Il guarantee for
its support and maintenance.
"THE OPPORTUNITY
is-the approaching National Demo.
cratic convention. The State is
Indiana. The man-wehaye named.
"The man is great in his strength
and wisdom without the State or the
opportunity, The State is strong
and true and faithful, even without
the man.
"But the opportunity, the State
and the man together make a combi-
nation before which any opposition
would go down in hopeless defeat and
disaster"

They are straining every nerve, for

they are certainly defeated in the
Presidential election to follow in
1880; and besides they want to recov-
er the Legislature which,they lost a
year or two ago, because a United
States Senator is to be elected this
winter. They see staring them in
the face, the awful fact, that if they
allow the State TO be lost to them this
year, they never can redeem it again.
To accomplish this they are using
every effort to turn the Greenback

strained, and no stone left unturned
which is likely to aid them in their

are being used to carry the State Of
Ohio for the Republicans should
arouse the whole honest people Of
that State, in one unainching mass,
to repel this attack of otIice.holders,
president stealers, and usurpers. By
united effort on the part of the hon

be defeated, and the power of these
unrighteous hypocritical leaders will
be put an end to, at leastso far as
Ohio is concerned, and the State for

rule of Radicalism. Then, to the
Democrats Of Ohio, we say, be firm,
be united, be as one man, and yicto.

The MARYLAND Democrats denounce
the Fraud of1S77 as "a crime against
a whole people" That is the true
view 10 take of it. 1t was American
people-not merely Mr.. Tilden, Mr..
Hendricks, and the Democratic party
against whom that crime was plot
ted and executed. And it was a
crime not only against the Americans
Of to-day but against their children.
Those who planned it, those who
aided in carrying it out, those who
were benefited by it, should be held
in everlasting infamy.

FATAL AccIDENT.--0n Saturday
evening, about nine o'clock, as Mr..
Ira Hart, in company with young
man named James stealey, was GO
ing home in a buck-wagon, when
near Mr.. Summers home in the West
End, the axle of the forewheel broke,
precipitating the occupants violently
to the ground. The horse took fright
and ran off, demolishing the wagon
and Mr. Summers fence in his flight.
The boy was somewhat stunned, but
soon recovered aud asked Mr.. Hart if
he was hurt, but receiving no re-
Spouse he gave the alarm and soon
the residents in the neighborhood
were summoned 10 the place and car
ried Mr.. Hart into Mr.. Summers
house. Drs. Bowcock aud Cuttings
were sent for but to no purpose, Mr..
Hart dying about 8 O'clock the next
morning. 1t would seem from his
wounds and the condition of his
clothes that he had been dragged
some distance and that his skull was
fractured. He was removed to his
home in the West End, from which
place he was buried at 10 o'clock
Monday morning. A large number
of friends followed. the remains to

Mrs. Nelly sartoris, daughter of
Gen, U. S. Grant, died at her home
in England, on the 18th inst. The
cable dispatch to the Enquirer, thus
speaks of her:
"The death of Mrs. sartoris, nee
Nelly Grant, which occurred today,
is deeply deplored on all sides. In
her quiet life and devotion to the du-
ties of her new home she had made
many very warm friends, and she
unexpectedly admired for the absence
of all attempts to take any adyan-
tage in society of her birth as the
daughter of great American Gen
eral, twice president of the United
States. Her husband was also much
liked among the country gentlemen
of his neighborhood, and his relation
ship to the Kemble family still con-
meet him indirectly with the world
of art. The sympathy felt for his
loss is therefore universal, arising as
it thus does, from SO many different
causes. The telegraph has been set
in motion to communicate with Gen.
Grant, and the final place of inter
ment will not be decided upon until
his wishes are known"

ARaycnous IscnnhIlcnin.

The Quincy qll.) Wig rabid
Republican paper, is getting desper-
ate in its efforts against the Demo
cratic party. He makes ont what
ought to be the policy Of the Repub-
lican party, as follows:
Every Republican knowsthat moth
ing could happen to this Republic
that would be Of such advantage TO
il as a general and judicious slaught-
er Of the Democrats at the polls. For
thispurrose there oughtto be a FEEDER
al bayonetsin every county in the
United States at the next general
election. There ought to be more,
but there are unfortunately no more
to be had. Every patriot, however
and every patriot is a Republican
Ought to take bayonet with him
to the polls for the purpose of assist
ing the Federal army in the work Of
killing Democrats.
There Is no doubt that the stalwart
editor feels just as he writes. The
teachings of the leaders Of the party
are in keeping with just such advice.
The men who can condone the great
Presidential crime of 1876, when the
will Of the majority was subverted,
are capable Of just such an effort to
maintain their power in the country.
The men who talk as the editor Of
the Wig are ready to overthrow the
Constitution, establish an empire and
proclaim Grant an Emperor. To this
complexion it is coming. Let the
people rise in their might and maj.
esty, and put down all such blood
thirsty leadors.-Es.

THE STATE.

What State ought to lead in such
a canvass? We say it should be a
State of mired population; State in
habited equally by the descendants
of emigrants, both from the North
and South; a State bound TO the
North by its early pioneers from
Pennsylvania, New York and New
England; bound to the South by its
hardy frontiersman from the Caro-.
linas, from Tennessee, Virginia and
Kentucky; a State bound to the I'm
ion by her fidelity and loyalty to the
constitution, and the memory of her
fallen brave in every battle field of
the great conflict. Such q State
may well claim to be the champion
of constitutional liberty. Indiana,
inhabited as she is, by a people,
sprung equally from both sides of the
historic line Of Mason and Dixon, is
eminently the underground of Ma.
tional sentiment and opinion. In
the heart of the country, she may
well claim to furnish its head.
"Her voice and actions have not
been doubtful upon the questions
stated. She has fully adopted the
conservative principles Of a thorough
Democratic restoration, Heroyalty
