REPUBLICAN DESPERATION.
ANOTHER MARCH TO THE SEA.

By levyiny n tax OH the army OF
Federal office holders, importing ne
croes from the South and bringing
crowds Of white repeaters from the
neighboring States, all Of which re-
sources have been hurled upon lndl-
ana, the Republican managers have
succeeded in obtaining u majority OF
5000 over the largely increased Dem
oc,atic vote in that State.
Relying on tho effect their Of dearly
bought victory they now propose to
carry Oh an aggressive campaign
throughout theentire country, for they
| we'll know that the real battle is still
to be fought.
The latest adyices convey the IN
formation that the Republicans intend
to attack the solid South in the States
of Virginia, North Carolina, Florida
and perhaps Louisiana,
| In the latter State it is designed that
TT. S. Grant shall come to rally the
broken cohorts of Radicalism by re-
hindling the dying cmbers OF the fierce
passions implanted there by the THEY
ing carpet-baggers and the Southern
Rcnegadcs.
The Republican leaders, know that
| if the South remaus firm in its sup
mort of Hancock, Il second victory
! in Indiana cannot save their party
from defeat. The solid South with
it's l3s votes added to New Y0rk's 80,
New Jerseys 9 and Connecticuts =,
will compose total of lss electoral
votes or three more than are required
to eject Hancock.
They feel that Indiana, California
OREGON. Nevada and Colorado, arc
more than uncertain for their candl'
, date and that unless they succeed II
breaking the Southern phalanx, thei
costly victory in Indiana will prove
, fruitless one.
The election of Hancock will brin!
, about the utter disintegration OF tina
p party who lives upon relentless wa
S against the Southern people and who's
{; history, written in blood, reflects tn
glare of the torches of their incendia
n rics Of our Southern homes.
