in America. 1t p%retends to be lndepeh-
dent in politics, but in this canvass
seems to be hitched to the republican
car. While Its editorials are sometimes
fair, its heavy political work is assigned
to its correspondents. At Indianapolis

the Trlbune's correspondent. whom no
one feels called on to believe though his
stories look ever so plausible. In a let
ter printed during the early part OF the
week, this s~independent' writer shows
the animus within him, frequently ex-
hibiled before, by bringing the pope to
the assistance of the democratic party,
in a portentious secret circular, manu-
featured by some unhung %scoundrel, u
sworn to be genuine by him. He is very
severe on '.Bill English" and destroys
all prospect OF democratic success, be-
cause the aforesaid ..Bill" will not buy
his way into the VICE presidency with
his money. He goes further and says:
s.Weaver and Gideon Tucker and all
their greenback friends are in a fearful
condition of rage and modification, the
exciting cause being Senator Bayard's
speech the other night in New York.
| Tucker is out-spoken in his denuncia-
ton, and thinks the speech will lose In
diana to the democrats" To this part
| of the letter, Mr.. Gideon Tucker replies
| at length. We extract the conclusion
| OF his letter to the Herald, which is IN
| these words: 81 did deplore the speech,
and SAID so, but 1 did not say it would
lose US the state, nor do l believe it can.
1t was unfortunate, in my judgment,
| that it was delivered at the very moment
when Indiana and Ohio were trembling
in the balance. But the democrats, OF
Indiana at least, never give up. The
democrats of New York may hand over
their court of appeals to the republic
cans, but the democrats of Indiana are
OF sterner stuff, and will elect their gov
ernor and state ticket on the 18th inst,
and give their electoral votes to the hero
of Gettysburg in November. Landers
will have 10000 majority over Porter,
although from fifty to seventy-fve thou
sand voters, mostly democrats, will,
throw away their votes on the green.
