Campaign I'm Indiana-SenatOr
Jones'

The campaign was opened in Indiana
by the Democrats on Saturday last in the
90 counties composing the State, when
lO2 meetings were held. The work will
be pressed from then on until the election
in October. Senator Jones of this State
has been prevailed upon to assist in the
canvass in Indiana and left Washington
for that State on the 18th in company
with Senator Mcdonald. These gentle
men were to speak at Mount Vernon and
Evansville on Saturday. Governor Car
Isle, Of Kentucky, was to speak at Co
lumbus, Governor Hendricks at Fort
Wayne, Senator Voorhees, at Lafayette,
Mr.. Pulitzer at Indianapolis and Senator
Beck probably at Terre Haute. The as
signments for Saturdays meetings were
made by the National Committee in New
York, but thereafter and through the
campaign the State Committee at Indian
apolis will have charge of them. The selec-
ton of Senator Jones for this important
work by the National Committee is q
compliment to Florida. 1t shows also the
estimate in which Senator J. is held
abroad as speaker. The Importance of
Democratic success in Indiana in October
cannot be ovcrestimated. Aside from the
tremendous influence it will have all
over the land in Strengthening the cause
of Hancock, particularly in what is demon
mated "the doubtful States" Demo
cratic victory there in October will serve
as an extinguisher on Republican hopes
universally. In aiding to achieve such
victory, therefore, Senator Jones is help
ing the common cause. He will return,
however, in time 10 devote the whole OF
October to Florida and will be able to
speak all through the East and South at
least.

ST. AUGUSTINE, August g. 1880.
Editor Union am informed that the San and
directly stated that In q speech made by me al
the Democratic ratification meeting 10 Jackson
vile, said that did not want colOred men to
vote for the Democratic candidates" ! wish To
say that this statement is altogether false, and
HIS no warrant 10 anything ! said there or else
where. / did say that in the Democratic party
OF the State, comprising almost the entire white
population of the State, almost the entire intel
ligence, wealth and character Of the people OF
the State, the colored people could alone find
protection for their rights and aid and encour-
agement in educational and industrial develop.
ment. did say that the theory Of popular gov
eminent and of our institutions required that in
telligence, character and religion should control
and direct public opinion, and that party based
upon the idea Of arraying the colored people
against the white people of the State upon the
ground that the freedom OF the col0red race
came from the Republicans and would not be
safe with the Democrats and the white people
party appealing 10 prejudice and ignorance and
distinctions of race TO make party organization
to control the political power of the State, was
of necessity great wrong TO the country and a
great injury TO the c0Iored people themselves.
did say that the votes Of the cOlored people were
not HecesaGFy TO the success of the Democratic
party in this Stale, because of the large Demo
cratic white majority In the State but so far
from saying that DID not sc0nt the votes Of the
colOred people, said In express terms, as have
always said, and do here now say, that l regard
1t as an object of great importance 10 the welfare
of the Stale, that the cOl0red people should vote
with the white people OF the State, and be nc.
cessible to the influences which create, control
and direct intelligent public opinion, aud that
they should be emAncipaied from the control and
influence Of all persons Of either race who appeal
TO them for their votes on the ground Of gratitude
for the gift Of freedom or because OF the preju-
dices growing outOf their former relation to The
white people Of the State. therefore say that
the statement which has been 90 repeatedly made
In the SEn and Press in 70 many forms, both di.
rect and indirecA b entirely false.
am sure no person has kinder feelings or a
greater desire 10 advance the cOlored people In
permanent and real prosperity than myfelf and
this feeling know is entertained by all the
Democratic people Of the State. Yours,

How Near the Republicans Hit
the Truth.

The following is specimen of how
some of the Republican papers are con-
Quoting the campaign. The Cleveland
Leader says:
General Hancock married Romish lady. In
order 10 marry her. he was obliged to submit 10
the degrading requirement made by priest as
to how he should bring up his children. He sub
mitted to the demand OF the priest and promised
him TO bring his children up in the Romish faith.
No priest will marry couple without this
promise being made. Is man f1t to be Presi-
dent who would submit tamely to such piece
of impertinence as q demand from frOcked
priest as 10 how he should bring up his unborn
children? OF course, should General Hancock
by some mysterious dispensation OF Providence
occupy the White House, a Romish chapel would
be fitted up in it with all the superstitiOns para
phernalia of Romish worship. The White House
would become the headquarters of priests, nuns,
monks and 80 on The Pope of Rome would be
influential in that house, through Mrs. Hancock,
who would be the ROmish power behind the
throne The traditions of the American people,
inherited from their Protestant revolutionary
forefathers, is [sicl opposed to an intolerant
church which favors the suppression of religious
freedom from having control of the White
House. Mrs. Hancock is a bigOted Romanist,
from all can learn, and like Mrs. General
Sherman will make everything, politically and
financially, subject to the interest Of the Romish
church.
To the above the Central Catholic I'D
c0cGte replies "The above, with the fol-
lowing exceptions drawn to their conclu-
sion, is substantially true First General
Hancock married Baptist lady. Second.
He was not married by priest, and
therefore was not subjected to any
degrading or other requirements by a
frocked or any other kind Of priest.
Third. He did not bring up his children
in the Romish faith-his only living
child is not and never was a Catholic.
Fourth. AS the Constitution strictly pro-
hibits the government from establishing
any religion the White House could not
become the headquarters Of priests etc.
Fifth. AS Mrs. Hancock is not and never
was Catholic, she is not likely to be
the Romish power behind Tor before) the
throne Sixth. The revolutionary
forefathers were not all protestants by a
long shot Seventh. The Catholic church
does not and never did favor suppression
of religious freedom Eighth. Mrs.
Hancock is not and never was big
oted or any other kind of Romanist,
but regularly attends the Episcopal
church, which seems to indicate that all
the Cleveland Leader man 'can learn
is little deficient in correctness. Yes,
we frankly admit that with the above ex-
ceptions, the Leader is right in its objec-
tions to General and Mrs. Hancock.
