MIR. IEWELL,S WALL.

We publish in the associated press dispatch
es this morning, card, or circular, from MIR.
Marshall Jewell, chairman of the Republic
can National Executive Committee. 1t
seems that some kilograms he had been send
ing to Florida, probably arranging for the
electoral vote OF that state for Mr.. Garfield,
came to light and fell into the hands Of the
Hon. w. ii. Barnum, chairman Of the Demo
ocratic National Executive Committee. That
gentleman very promptly lie: the country
know the dodge Mr.. jewell and his commit
tee were up to, and Mr.. Jewell answers, tel
ling about some men in buckram going down
to Florida per the Mallory line, to play the
roll OF Democratic repeaters in Florida.
Mr. Jewell knows SO well the means used by
his party to carry elections, that he imagines
the Democrats are just Ms capable OF infa-
nous proceedings as are the Republicans.
Charging the Democratic party with colonl-
zing votes in . state to carry it, comes in bad
grace from Mr.. Jewell and his party, in the
lsce of the Indiana and Ohio returns. just
think of the vote of indianapolis, %, 900 out
Of a.population, according to the census
rolls, of $4,000. One in three Who eySr
heard of such MA average before Who be-
lieves that those 10000 votes were honest
and legal ! 1t Ia Il fac. beyond cavil beyond
dispute, that the Republicans imported ne,
groeS by the thousand, and Philadelphia
thugs aud repeaters by the hundreds into In
diana, and no wonder that the vote Of the
state isO $4,000 more than there are
male inhabitants over twonty-one years Of
ago In Indiana number of these repeat
ers were arrested on aflijavits made by Dem
ocrats. Republican supervisors released
them on bail, taken by Republican deputy
United States marshals, and the day ate
the election the repeaters all returned t,
their homes in Other states. Not one 0
them is TO be found in Indianapolis, and tn,
bonds they gave are not worth the paper OF
which they are written. 1t was the same wa,
in Ohio. Thevote in Cincinnati was thous
ands larger, and the vote of Columbus Wa
one thousand more than ever before. Boil
Of these cities were full of Republican i'm
ported repe6ters, who under the countenanc,
md protection Of Deputy United States Mar
shals and United States Supervisors, al
Republicans, went from polling place t,
polling place, voting again and again snC
with IMMUNITY This is tho free ballot tn
Republicans are always elamoring for. 1t i
ballot entirely too free. Mr.. Jewett, Il
chairman Of the Republican executive com
mitoe, knew Of these things. II dcvolvet
upon him to furnish the money to conduc
tho campaign in these states and to map
ont md while he might not know thr oxsc
details and miuutiae of each transaction, yet
1t is tollE 10 say that he is pc
familiar with all that was done in Indiana auC
Ohio, and that no did not sanction, in fact,
plan il ALL Still he bowls about the democra
cy and charges them with doing exactly what
he did. PicGpockets always cry "stop thief
the lOudest, Stuiling ballot boxes, pur,
chasing votes, bulldozing employees and nj
tenng the returns, are sciences created and
impro ed upon year by year, by the Repub.
LEANS Tho leaders of this party are adopts
in this kind ofin(amy, aud they do it 50
skIlfuly that they even deceive the great
body Of the rank and file Of their party wh(
are honest in their political principles snC
conscientious in what they do, but who are
wolully led astray by the Jewels etldomu,
genus of unpriuciplcd men they are bliudly
following to the country's after ruin, unles
ch eckcd in November.
