Democrat about the propriety of Civ
ing over the control of the govern
ment to the solid South he promptly
remarks that the northern Democracy
can and will control the South. The

which is earnestly requested, indicates
what the result will be if Hancock is
elected.
If the northern democracy can CON
troll the south, why did it not prevent

they failed to secure by resort to

THE October elections occur next
Tuesday, and while they will by no
means determine the contest in No
yember the result in the October states
will have an important bearing upon
| the Presidential election To be held
three weeks later. The greatest in
terest centers in Indiana where every
possible effort will be made by each of
the two great political parties to
achieve success. The Democrats have
been coquetting with the Greenback-
ers during the past few weeks, but
with Indifferent success, as many
Greenbackers who are guided alone by
what they hold to be correct princi-
pies, refuse to support the Democratic
ticket. The Republicans of the Hoos-
Ter state are making gallant fight,
with encou aging prospects of success.
The nomination Of General Garfield
proved an important factor in the con-
test in Ohio and was an unfortunate
circumstance Tor the democrats,
though by still hunt they hope to
carry the state. The Republicans Of
both Indiana and Ohio are thoroughly
aroused and if they should get scoop
ed they will go down with flying col
ors. There is no reasonable doubt
that the Republicans of Ohio will win,
and the chances Of success for the Re
publicans of Indiana we regard as ev-
en- with those of the opposition.
