existed right after The October elrc-

hut reports received ut the Congres-
siunal Committee headquarters indi-
cate sanguine hopes and energetic
work ninong the supporters of Han
cock and English all over the Union.
1t must be admitted that the result IN
Indiana was disappointment, lei !
thiuk some OF tho best informed
Democrats here were less san2uine
than tho minority Of them elsewhere,
for the reason TINT We here Knew bet
ter than anybody else the seheming
and unerrupulo.s cllaya' ier OF HE
ineil III charge Of tho Republican eau
vass there, and the lull ezien' oi ihe
appliance and resources a. Tie com
niaId. We Knew all about ihe sys-
tenaiic negro colonization begun last
winter and continued gradually up
10 wiihina few days OF the ELECTION.
No lees than I'VE Thousand OF Tho
negroes pns'ed through ms rily

cheering reports. There is scarcely
reasonable doubt OF tho four states
first named, while In inflinna he con-
diiions that existed IN Or'obcr can
not possibly exist IN November.
The funds will not hold oui for
another such exhibition Of wholesale
bribery. Department clerks and
other employees are complaining bii.

here IN publishing q notice Of thu
