English will contribute his part to a Demo-
"cratic campaign fund. He will dis
"trlbue it at the proper time. BE easy. A
"rord to the wise. Let Kentucky do her duty,
"and there is no danger about the result III
Indiana"
What does this mean, il not that Democrats
of Kentucky are to be paid for voting Iraudu-
lcntly on the other side of the Ohio River III
October? Mr.. English will contribute his
part Ii will he put where il will do the most
good says The Post. "Let Kentucky do her
"duty," and Mr.. English will answer for In
diana. Already conductors on all the railroads
from the South state that they meet cn almost
every Northward train persons who have cards
to prominent Democrats in Indiana, and who
ask how to rcacl them. Mr. English has begun
working, evidently. What is the North gong
to do about it
Kentucky has no election in October.
large number of voters can be moved ACROSS the
river, to east Democratic votes in October and
the refusal of the Democrats to provide for a
prOper REGISTRATION of voters will facilitate the
effort. What is to stop ia Kentucky can
send 30 900 voters, If need be. \ few dollars
each Will pay their travelling and other cx-
lenses. The Republican majority in Indiana
may thus he overcome, by fraudulent votes I'M
ported fIOm the South, and people not of In
diana may elect its Governor. Mr.. English
has contributed but little hitherto, it is said.
The article in The LOuisriUe Post excuses him
on the ground that he knows when aud where

impudent declaration of purpose to carry Il
State by fraud.
Il is bad enough if minority of Democrats
carry every State in the Solid South BY tissue
ballots and shotguns. When the same men pro-
pose to cross the border and 10 carry Northern
States also, by voting here they have no right
to vote, it is about time to look into the
matter. The Republicans of Indiana must not

fraud perpctratcd on Il smaller scale more than
once Here are men who were Liberals. who
have heard with disgust how small majority
was manufactured for Governor Hendricks III
1872 If the Republicans of Indiana are a.
shrewd and watchful as We think them, this
game of colonization will not succc,d. But it
will not do for them TO suppose that the scheme
have the Town and county officials i'll many OF
the localities in Indiana, and they have the
State officers. Only on Thursday, ii seemed
good to the Democratic managers to reject the
motion for a rcheaIing i'll respect 10 the const-
tut ional amendm ,ntS, which shows that they
hope for better results by holding an election
in October than by dcfor1ing it until Novem

can negligence or over-cOntidence should give
the Democrats n chance 10 carry Indiana by
fraud. With an honest vote, the Republicans
have every reason tO expect To carry the State.
They have the advantage of Federal laws for
their protection against fraud, and they ought
TO take care that Kentucky does not do her
duty" in Indiana in October. Let the Solid
South cast its own votes. But ii is too much
for the South to invade Northern States with
fraudulent ballots.
