of brotherhood from the Democratic
Committee of Indiana. He preceded i
by some impressive remarks, that were
received with applause. The committed

Judge Bayliss Hanna of Indiana, being
introduced by the chairman as repre-
sentiDg the committee from the Indians
Democracy, was received with applause
He paid glowing eulogy to the charac'
ter and distinguished ability of Ohio'f
standard bearer. Being native of this
State, he was naturally proud of bis
birth place. He proceeded to say there
was man acting as President to-day
who was not elected-a sort of Mexican
President The questions before Con.
gress we're we'll digested, but this dicta.

thwart the will of the people. Grant

Men of Ohio, we want no sovereignty in
this republic but the sovereignty of the
people.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 26, 1879.
To the Ohio Democratic State Central Com.
mittee.
GENTLEMEN-The Democratic party of
Indiana bear grateful memory of aid
and comfort sent from Ohio in past po-
litical contests in this State. While our
struggle for political ascendancy was still
in doubt your distinguished citizens and
orators came to our assistance. The as.
CendanCy Of our party being now assured
we have time to remember our obliga.
tions to the Ohio Democracy, and to
crafty an anxious desire to- repay past
favors.
Our two States lie in the same zone of
agriculture and commerce, and our po-
litical interests and sympathies are com.
mon; like our rivers, they commingle
and flow in tie same direction. Even
in local political struggle our sympa-
thies and good wishes would be with
the Democracy of Ohio; but in cam
paign like that upon which you have
entered, the result of which may deter
mine the political complexion of your
State, and of the nation also, we feel
deep and peculiar interest.
For nearly.a fifth of century the Re.
publican party has controlled the ad.
ministration of the general government.
For the first fifth of that period, while
Lincoln lived, it was to some extent
guided and influenced by his great spir-
it; but since that time it has forgotten
country and extolled party, and has been
governed solely,by base partisan desire
to maintain its own supremacy at what
ever cost Its unholy mission is to en-.
gender sectional animosity and thus
power througha "solid North"
In its greed of power it squanders the
fruits of the war. When the people up.
rose against it three years ago and by an
overwhelming vote deCreed that its
course of infamy should cease, it defeat
ed their will by fraud to which, in uu-
and shameless infamy, histo-
~ furnishes no parallel.
That party is deliberately seeking to
its power by destroying the
material welfare of the Southern States,
md while its ruthless oppression has
orCed three States into combined oppo-
ition to its destructive sway, it seeks to
larm and embitter the North by false
nd groundless fears of new rebellion.
t marches under its detestable bloody
ymbol and deprecates "Solid South"
hough both North and South NAV
hereby become involved in one COM
ION ruin.
In your gallant struggle to overthrow
lis party of fraud, plunder and crime,
lay Heaven prosper you. In this
ruggle you have our fullest sympathy,
ld our heartiest wishes for your sue. :
1873, and whatever Of assistance the De- /
ocracy of Indiana may be able to OK. !
nd to you, is at your disposal. With d,
eat respect we are, etc.
