TIE STATE.
What State ought to lead in such a can-
vass 2 We say it should be State of mixed
population; a State inhabited equally by tho
descendants of cmigrants, both from tho
North and South; a State bound TO tho
North by i,s carly pioneers from Pennsylva-
mia, Now York aud New England; bound to
the South by it's hardy frontiersmen from
the Carolinas, from Tennessee. Virginia and
Kentucky; State bound to tho Union by
hOr fidelity and LOYALTY to tho constitution,
and the memory of her fallen brave in every
battlefield of tho great conflict. Such State
may we'll claim to be tho champion Of cons
s,itutionaI liberty. Indiana, inhabited as shc
is, by people, sprung equally from both
sides of the historic line of Mason and Dixon.
is eulincutIy the middle. ground Of National
sentiment and opinion. In the heart of tho
country, she may we'll claim to furnish its
head.
Her voice and actions havo NOT beon
doubtful upon tho questions stated. She
has fully adopted the conservative principles
of thorough Democratic restoration. Her
LOYALTY to these principles has been steady
and nuabated. In 1872, IN 1874, in 1876,
10 1873, she has constantly and persisteptly
j Ior faith shaa roEDainsd
unshaken-it has net altcrnated every two
years with doubt and disappointment. Such
State should lead, as she has already lcd.iu
such contest.
THE MAN.
IF in such State thcro were n man ia
whom her people conided. even il he were
without National reputation, such n one
might we'll claim, on account Of the State
which presented him, the confidence aud
support of the public. But there is ono whom
the State has delighted to honor; Of National
service and reDownj Of stainless character,
and who is presented for the suGrages of the
| National convention.
The Democracy OF Iudia5a are not against
Mr. Tilden, Mr. Bayard, Mr.. Thurman, or
any of the distinguished gentlemen whose
| names have been mentioned in connection
with the presidential canvass, but they arc
| for Mr.. Hendricks.
I lie is not ''the man on horseback" Heis
not the exponent of the special interests and
| opinions of great commercial emporium.
! He is the man of peace, liberty and order,
with the law upon his lips and the constitu-
ton in his heart; man of such just views,
| enlightened knowcdged, and ripe experience
as statesman and publicist, that if, by some
disastrous political CONFUSION, the whole
form and theory of popular government were
blotted from the memory of mon, they might
be supplied from the RESOURCES of his own
official action and history.
His executive conduct and character
would be free constitution, and his con.
science a guarantee for its support and main-
tenance. -
THE OPPORTUNITY
is-the approaching National Democratic
convention Tho State is-Indiana. The
man-we have named.
The man is great in his strength and wis
dom without the State or tho opportunity.
The State is strong and true aud faithful,
even without the man.
Bat the opportunity, the State and tho
man together make combinations before
which sn opposition would go down in hopes
less defeat aod disaster.
