position in the campaign is very i'm
portant. A grand Republican VIC
tory in this state will remove the
Presidential election from the domain
of doubt and absolutely assure the
election of General Garfield. A Dem
ocratic victory, on the contrary,
while being no assurance of Demo-
cratic success in the National election,
would give aid and comfort to the
enemy and encourage them to re-
double their efforts to carry New
York by fraud.
Our standard bearer, Hon. Albert
G. Porter, and his associates, have
made magnificent canvas of the
State. Republicans are everywhere
enthusiastic and hundreds of Demo-
Gratis have expressed their determin-
alton to vote for Porter. All indica-
tions point to a grand Republican
victory. 1t must not be forgotten,
however, that we are confronted by
a thoroughly organized, defiant and
INSCRIPTIONS enemy who will
leave untried novile scheme that gives
the slightest promise of success. In
view of these facts it is the duty of
every man who loves his country and
the cause of liberty, and free govern
ment to use every means at his COM
mand to prevent the party which
represents treason, anarchy and fraud
from coming into power. on SC

Austin III. Brown, Chairman of the
Democratic County Central Commit
tee, affects to be terribly alarmed a
bout the importation of colored vot-
ers by the Republicans.
Does Austin III. Brown know any
thing about the Democratic cattle
now being brought into this State
from Kentucky, to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket? Does he not know that
for years his party has been engaged
in this disreputable business, and
that it relies mainly On this resource,
and the corruption of voters by the
use of money for success in the pres
ent campaign?
Mr.. Brown will find that he can
not blind the eyes of the people to
the corrupt practices of his party by
the "stop thief cry
No one knows better than Austin
IL. Brown that the Republicans have
no need to adopt the villainons prac-
tees of his party to succeed.
The State of Indiana is largely
Republican on a fair vote, and will so
record itself if Republicans are vigi-
liant, and checkmate effectually the
infamous schemes of the Democratic
party to carry the election by corrup-
ton and fraud.

The Negro Can not Afford TO vote the
Democratic Ticket. 81.
W. s. SCARBOROUGH

Under the present existing circumstances,
and in the present emergency where there
are so many issues vital to the colored citi-
zens at stake, there are many things the
colored men cannot afford to do; but more
than this, he can not afford to affiliate with
the Democratic party in the least or vote
the Democratic ticket. The Democrats are
sworn enemies to the Negro. They hate
him because of his former condition; they
hate him because he is aspiring to be man
with all the virtues of true manhood; they
hate him because they are afraid he will vie
with them in the various careers of life. In
word they seem to hate him because he
lives. repeat, "the Democrats are sworn
enemies to the Negro" My recent trip TO-
the South convinces me that Negro suppress.
sion is the watch-word of the Democratic
party. mo Negro shall be equal to me
and i've" is the old saying at ten hundred
Southern symposiums. 'That bottom rail
should forever remain at the bottom" is re.
echoed at the polls. In the face Of this
which is Just lmit-will any colored man
so far forget himself, his wife, his children,
his race as to vote, to shackle himself and.all
whom he regards near and 'dear2 In the
coming election let every colored voter lsok
along down the ages yet to come and ask
generations unborn what is his duty as a
man, as citizen, as one of theirprogenitors,
can not afford to vote the Democratic ticket
or to be neutral. The good of the coun-
try demands that we see to it, that the
Democrats be kept out ofpower. remem-
Der, during one of my visits to the South, at
the time of our election that those rebels to
keep the negro from voting the Republican
ticket devised this plan. To the court house
they took to the second story above the polls
large supplies of black pepper. Several of
these negro haters came in the rear of a line
of colored votes and ats given signal began
rush which produced confusion and
those from above let their powdered pepper
fall in quantities into the eyes of these me-
groes. You can imagine the result. This is
the treatment that our Southern brethren re-
ceieve whenever they attempt to assert their
rights. Every colored man who votes with
the Democrats, either In Ohio. indiana, or
elsewhere, tacitly says, 'This is all right and
just; it is as it should be, white man first,
black second" Let every Negro beware
that this shall not be the case. q j.. a'sr

The exposure of the democratic
scheme to induce colored men to leave
this State and 60 South, on the false
pretence of lucrative employment,
has terribly mortified democratic
leaders. No colored man will be de-
ceived by this trick, Colored men
know too well already the. value OF
democratic promises. They left the
South ON account of the rascally
treatment they received there, and
they will not leave Indiana on the
eve of an important election simply
to give their old masters the greater
power to grind down their relatives
and friends who remain there. The
man who would desert the cause now
in this way would be a traitor to his
race, his family and mankind a..

A grand swindle was perpetrated by some
irresponsible and unprincipled persons in
Terre Haute, on the 22nd of September. A
celebration OF the anniversary Of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation was advertised to take
place on that day; and flaming circulars
were issued, stating that excursion trains
would be run for the occasion from Evans
vile, Louisville and Indianapolis, and also
stating that Gen. John A. Logan, Of Illinois,
and other eminent men would be present to
address the meeting In fine, an immense
time was assured. In pursuance Of the
scheme, agents were sent to this place and
other surrounding towns to work up the
meeting and secure the attendance of the
largest number possible. Under these false
representations, many of the colored people
were induced to abandon their business; the
BARRIERS of this place all shut up their shops
and went to Terre Haute in anticipation of
a grand time in the celebration Of the men,
cradle event by which our race became free.
What was their surprise and chagrin when
upon arriving at the Fair grounds at Terre
Haute, they found that no provision had
been made for their entertainment, and saw
no signs of any demonstration, except a few
men who were stationed at the gate to col
lect admission fee. Upon going up town
we made inquiry concerning the affair and
found that the whole thing was sham. No
effort had been made 10 fulfill the programme
announced. The names of the distinguished
men had been used in the programme with
out any authority, and without the remotest
prospect of securing their attendance. In
short. it was afterwards ascertained that the
whole affair had been gotten up in the inter-
est of clique ofpeanut vendors and perhaps
persons of less reputable calling, who hoped
to reap harvest of OF those whom their
false representations might induce TO come
We have the consolation OF Knowing that If
we were duped they were at least disap-
pointed and failed most ignominiously in
their scheme. These few lines are 70 give .
deserved publicity to an infamous swindle.

command, we cannot but be sure Of success.
Nothing is accomplished without earnest
untiring devotion and labor, either physical
or mental.
We do not despair, however, since we
have not yet reached the highest state of 9
cultured people we remember that but a
few years ago we emerged from the dark
ness of oppression into the light OF liberty;
and from the stupor into which the drug of
ignorance plunged us, we are at last becom-
ing conscious of what we have been, what
we are, and what we hope to be. Step by
step, if we rersevere we shall,lay aside coarse
ness of speech, i'll manners, untidiness of
person, and in fact, everything which tends
to present us as an obnoxious people, to 9TH
ers who have been more fortunate than we
have. Prejudice, like snow in mid-winter,
melts slowly, and only where the sun shines
on it. Let us aim to be only satisfied in a
refined and Intellectual atmosphere, and the
| influence we shall exert, must have its effect
on society even as the sun shines upon the
snow, melting or pushing aside everything
which impedes its progress. A truly edu-
Gated man cannot be else than, cultured in
manners, tidy in person, and correct in
| speech. Then let us improve, remembering
that we cannot command respect from other:
unless we respect ourselves. u. -.
