AMENDMENT FRAUDS.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel:
SRI herewith incIose you a ticket that
you may know how the Republicans operated
TO secure the adoption of the constitutional
amendments. These tickets appeared at our
eIecLon precincts oy nnnareas, 1nar t as you
city to a leading Republican. You will dis
cover that they are not just like those sent out
by the secretary of state, in color or wording.
They were placed in the hands of Republicans
throughout the county, and used freely, while
the Republican trustees-two at least that
have heard of-refused to hand out those sent
out through the proper channel, except one at
time to the voters. You can readily see how
this would work, and the fraud and unjust
means put in operation by the party OF "great
moral ideas" TO accomplish their ends. If
there are any points in this statement OF facts
to defeat these amendments, we hope to see
them fully brought out, providing IL Is nee
eSsary. Yours, W. j. II.
Huntington, Ind, April 6, 1880.
The probabilities are that the amendments
to the constitution submitted to the people
on Monday last have been adopted. The
Sentinel was opposed to two of the amend
ments, and we ara now as much as ever
convinced that the people will regret their
Incorporation into the organic law of the
State, provided the methods resorted to TO
adopt them are not found to be such as to
declare their adoption null and void. 1t ia
well known that the law submitting the
amendments to the people is itself so vague
as to create serious doubts as to its constitu
tlonality and 1t may be that the supreme
court will set it aside. Again, it is well
known that the law, if 1t is constitutional,
has been 80 flagrantly violated by Republi-
cans that every consideration of fair dealing,
honest elections, purity of the ballot-box
and the rights of the people demand that
these Republican rascalities should not be
permitted to triumph. The foregoing letter
which We publish, emphasizes what the Sem
tinel has said upon the subject, and the facts
demand investigation and prompt judicial
action. The law submitting the amend
ments to the people has been violated. A
great fraud has been practiced-prscticed by
men who claimed to be the special cham
pions Of honest elections; and If the rascality
Is permitted to go unrebuked, Indiana will
have to confess that she has constitution
adopted by fraud.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-04-14

THE people of Indiana would like TO have
a constitution tree from the faint of fraud.
To obtain such constitution the Legislature
enacted Law, without which the people
would not have been called upon to vote on
the amendments last Monday. Now, then,
the simple questions are these: Was that
law violated? Was frauds perpetrated? in
numerous instances reports 60 to show that
the Law was violated, and in numerous IN
stances that frauds were perpetrated. Ought
not all good citizens to feel anxious that
such wrongs should be righted? According
to the Journal, II any effort should be made
to ferret out these violations of the law.
these fragrant frauds. the Republican party
to man will become the champions of
fraud and the defenders of violations of the
law. 1t says
All we have TO say is, If the Democrats want
to fight the amendments in the courts after
they have been adopted by the people, let
them try it. The Republicans will meet them
on that line, and will test the question here as
it was tested ia Maine, whether the people
have any rights which Democratic psrtisans
are bound to respect.
Why this championship of fraudf Why
desire to have a constitution tainted with
fraud? Why this exhibition of petty wrath
at the mention of courts? Simply because
reports say the law was violated by Republi-
cans, and that Republicans committed the
frauds. Law regulates elections. II the law
was openly violated, and its plainest pro-
visions disregarded, then the election was
not according to law, and hence, what?
rrrNr - -
make any difference whatever. 1t is just as
happy when fraud has prevailed as when the
State has had an honest election. The Re-
publican party has, Of late years, won its
greatest triumphs by fraud and it is, there
fore, not surprising that Republican journals
are the defenders and apologists of fraud.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-04-14
A NOTABLE FRAUD.

The attention of the public should at once
be called to the fact that monstrous WOLF
ton of the law was perpetrated by some one
on Monday last. That the tickets prepared
by the secretary of state and sent to the
sheriff. of the various counties were, in
some instances. "doctored" in the interest
of the amendments, admit of neither
doubt nor evasion. We call the
special attention of the people to
the fact which can be established beyond
all controversy. The proper steps should at
once be taken to place the matter before the
proper tribunals of the State, for the pur
pose of having the guilty parties brought to
justice, or at any rate seeing that, If the law
has been violated, the people OF the State
shall not suffer thereby.
By consulting the Law providing for
the distribution OF the amendment ballots,
ii will be observed that the Legislature was
careful to guard against fraud. 1t provided
that the amendment ballots should be OF
blue paper; that they should be sent to
sheriffs, by them sent 10 township trustees
and by the trustees placed in the hands Of
inspectors Of the election. This done, the
inspector, on application, is directed
to hand to each elector a ballot
The inspectors, we believe. have in
some instances at least violated
the law. The ballots were handed out in
large numbers to persons around the voting
places, and by them handed to electors; and
worse still, it can be shown that in numer-
Gus instances these amendment ballots had
been scratched when handed to the electors,
thereby violating the law, which provides
that the elector shall erase the word yes
or mo- himself. The matter is OF sufficient
importance to have prompt attention, for IL
will be singing shame II amendments the
Legislature proposed for the ostensible pur-
pose of preventing fraud. have been adopted
by fraud. Let the matter be investigated.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-04-14

THE Sentinel asserts that the passage of the
constitutional amendments will be over
thrown because tickets were not exclusively
distributed by the inspector. If an attempt Is
made TO reverse the will of the people on such
trivial pretext, there will be such an xplo-
sion as never was known in Indiana.-News.
The Sentinel has distinctly pointed out
how the law relating to the amendments
was violated on Monday last, how frauds
were committed-how ballots were doctored.
The News inlmates that it will advocate
the violation OF the law. Indeed, it is
already doing that thing. 1t is not law
abiding. 1t treats the law with contempt
The News virtually admits that the law was
violated; that frauds were committed; that
the organic law OF the State was changed by
fraud, and still it defends the fraud and
would have il prevail.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-04-14

THE Democrats in this State nave been
bowling for years about Republican election
frauds, importation OF voters, etc., but when a
constitutional amendment is proposed to bar
all such business, the whole party machinery
is brought 10 bear to defeat 1t, and the party
lash is applied unsparingly TO make Demo-
Gratis vote against IL. This shows how much
truth there was In the howl about frauds
Journal.
1t Is worthy of remark that the fact Of Re-
publican frauds admits of no controversy
whatever. and it is also fact easily demon
strated that Republicans who were bowling
about election frauds, and advocating the
adoption of the amendments as a means OF
preventing frauds, absolutely disregarded
the law submitting the amendments to the
people, and probably committed frauds ia
evere precinct In the State. These violations
OF law, these frauds pass to the constitution,
and the people of Indiana have q right to
believe that the constitution of the State in
part rests upon the disregard of law. and the
perpetrstion Of frauds. Democrats demand
ed strict compliance with the Law. Repub.
Leans openly violated the law.
