INDIANA VEIL CARED FOE.

ana is able to take care of herself, and
would not ask for assistance outside of the
State. This was at first deemed to be an
idle boast, but subsequent events indicate
that Mr.. English knew what he was talking
about. Indiana ia as safe to the Democratic
party as any State in the Union, for the
most thorough work has been done there
during the present canvass that has ever
been attempted heretofore. The State has
been thoroughly oanvassed and the political
preferences of every voter are known to
the central committees. From these lists q
substantial Democratic majority has been
figured up, which can only be over
come by the colonization Of negro voters in
the southern part of the State. Commit
tees have been formed to watch the border,
however, and these have already obtained
lists of large number of recent importa-
tions who have been stationed among the
leading Republicans and who intend to vote
the Republican ticket four weeks hence.
They will be prevented from carrying out
their intentions, however, if there are courts
in Indiana competent to punish them.
Another excellent measure adopted by the
Democrats in Indiana is the appointment of
energetic young men in every voting pre-
cinct, whose duty it is to bring every Demo-
cratic vote out to the polls on election day
and see that they cast their votes for the
regular State ticket. This part of the ar
rangements is said to be most complete.
Each of these persons will be provided with
lists of the voters in their respective dis
tricts. and as great deal depends upon the
thoroughness with which they perform their
duty, none but the most reliable have been
selected. In addition cballengers have been
appointed for every poll and will be pro-
vided on election day with lists of all i'm
ported voters. They will be instructed to
object to the votes of all such, and if they
swear in their votes to have them placed un-
der arrest Immediately and prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. The Democrats are
fully determined that no illegal votes shall
be cast, and are fully prepared to carry out
their determination, no matter what the cost.
1t has been learned that the Republicans
contemplate resorting to species of bull
doing designed to prevent Democrats from
casting their votes. Supervisors of election
have been appointed in all the principal
cities of the State who announce their inten-
ton of doing all in their power to decrease
the Democratic majority by arresting as
many of those who attempt to vote as it may
be necessary to intimidate the weaker por-
ton of the citizens of like political pro-
cIivities. But this scheme will not be per.
mitted to work, las the Democratic committee
has adopted measures to Illustrate their
designs at every point.
While the campaign will be prosecuted
with vigor up to the night before the cleo
ton, it is the intention of tae Democratic
managers to have several large meetings at
the most important political centers previ-
GUS to the 18th prox. At Indianapolis on
the 9th there will be q grand jubilee, at
which many of the most eminent speakers
in the country will be present. Subsequent
ly similar meetings will be held at Lafay-
cite, New Albany, Jacksonville, Richmond,
Laporte, Vincennes, and other cities, from
which the most gratifying results are antici-
pated.
Ex-Gov. Hendricks, Senator Mcdonald,
and several other of the most popular speak
ers, have now gone to Ohio to lend help
ing hand to their brethren there. They will
return, however, in the course of ten days.
and devote their best efforts to the success
of the good cause at home. Everything
looks favorable for grand Democratic sue
cess in Indiana. Maine has done well, but
Indiana will do far better, and practically
settle the Presidential question on the 18th
Of next month.
