INDIANA IN NOVEMBER.
The Democrats Going to Work.


From staff correspondent of the Times.
To-day the Democratic state committee
held meeting and general conference with
Democrats from different parts of the
state. The reports from everywhere agree
that Hancock is stronger not ouly than
was Landers, but that he is stronger than
his party. 1t is calculated that his name
is worth from five to eight thousand votes
to the ticket more than was given to Lam
ders and that alone would almost, if not
entirely, turn the scale. On the other hand
Garfield is weaker than his party, and
when it comes to direct vote for nresi-
dent this weakness will easily be made ap-
parent here. With all the excitement at
tending the late election, the presence of
shrewd managers and hundreds of speak
ers and interested parties from other
states, it was a rare thing to hear Gar
fields name mentioned as in any way con-
cerned in the canvass. The Republican
presidential candidate was purposely kept
out of prominence, and, from the talk
among voters as they average away from
the leaders, should judge that the adval-
tage which the Republicans had in Porter
as 4 candidate for governor and the disad-
vantage of the Democrats with Lam
ders would be very nearly reversed in No
vember on the names of Hancock and Gar
field. Another thing will greatly serve the
Democrats at the next election. There
will be but one ticket to vote and no chance
for trading. Landers had no real, earnest.
fighting friends, and the same was true OF
number of the candidates on the Demo-
cratic state ticket. Nearly every one had
some weakness and all Of them became the
victims of trades in behalf of local candi-
dates. Votes for governor were commonly
swapped for votes for small county offices,
and there was scarcely poll in the state
at which more or less of this tr;sdin. was
not done, to the disadvantage of the Dem
ocratic ticket. There can be none of this
in November.

The Ohio Democrats Take Off Their Coats.

and leading Democrats of all sections of
Ohio, about three hundred in number, met
OH Saturday for consultation. Many short
speeches were made. The meeting was
secret. all persons present being pledged
to secrecy. The following resolutions were
adopted
"Resolred, That every Democrat in Ohio
be constituted a committee to work from
this day forward until the close of the
polls OH the first Tuesday in November.
'.ResolreG, That this meeting heartily
cooperate with the state central and exec
utive committees and be c0n6dihg enough
to trust them and aid them in whatever
action in their judgement may seem best
to undertake in this campaign.
"Resolred, That we will continue to pros
ecute the canvass in this state with in
creased energy, and that the county COM
mittees be requested to thoroughly organ
ize and to bring to the polls every voter
who will vote for Hancock and English.

Republicans. They will carry it now.
As Mr.. Conkling says. " the party which
wins that state will win the fight

The ss Labor" Question In California.
There is strange inconsistency in the
position Of the Republicans in the East
and West. Hereabouts we hear a great
clamor about protection to the working
men from the dangerous invasion of for
eign pauper labor, while in California
the Republicans talk about raising.
million dollars to save their desperate
chances of importing cheap Chinese Ia
Dor. A well-informed gentlemen in this
county noticing report that white home
labor in California was being driven
from the cigar factories by the cheaper
s'Chinee," wrote to prominent Repub-
lican there inquiring into the matter.
He received the following letter:
SAN Francisco, Sept. 81, 1880.
DEAR SIR: Yours of the 18th inst. at
hand. will answer your questions about
the Chinese as cigarmakers, frankly and
truly.
In any occupation requiring manual dex-
terity, steady application and patient en-
durance, they excel. They live far moro
cheaply, work longer hours, and therefore
can live and save money ON lower wages
than is possible for white laborers. Of
course as consequence those cigarmakers
who employ them can defy the competition
of those who confine themselves to white
labor. But there has been a decided fall
ing off in the immigration of these useful
workingmen, and many are going or pre-
pairing to 60 home to China, ON account
of the fancied possibility Of HancOck's
u = L.. IooI %
the abrogation Of the Burlingame treaty or
to secure legislation hostile to the Chinese.
Even now find it very hard to keep full
force of hands in my factory, and of course
my profits are cut down in proportion as
am compelled to hire white hands.
Men in our business should contribute
literally toward the election of Garfield.
The Chinese Six Companies of this city
have subscribed several thousand dollars
to the Republican campaign fund. and all
of us who have to depend on Chinese labor
have done the same. My subscription has
been $3.50, and they have limited that they
will require as much more. This comes
very hard, considering the competition
there is in the business, but it is our only
salvation, and it will take very hard work
to carry this state, but you may depend on
it that we will carry it for Garfield if it
costs million dollars. Hoping that this
answer will satisfy you.
Yours truly, ESoCH A. MARsDEN.
We commend this to the attention of
the blatant Republican politicians who
profess special championship Of the
American laborer. We invite them
to notice that their political
co-workers in CalifoHnia are sub
scribing to Garfield's election in
the hope that it will promote the impor-
tation of Chinese, whose alleged econom-
ical methods of living enable them to
drive native labor out of the cigar shops.
1t seems that whichever end Of the poker
the Republicans take they get the hot
end.

Joe Emmett Alive and Sober.

The actor Joe Emmet, whose death was
recently reported, is in excellent health. and
as he expressed it. is 1.-The liveliest dead
man about" When asked gave rise to
the reports of his death, he said that he
was taken to his sisters house in St. Louis
very sick, SO that the doctor ordered him
to remain in bed perfectly quiet for two
weeks and forbade his being annoyed byany
visitors. Callers, on being told that he was
very sick, spread report that he was dy-
ing, which was soon exaggerated into re-
port that he was dead. He denounced in
vigorous terms u report which appeared in
the st. Louis papers that he and his wife
were on bad terms. To all appearances

Nothing SO disgraceful in the history
of American politics has occurred as the
widespread effort now being made by
Republican employers to coerce their
employees into voting for the candidates
of the party whose profiigacy, corrup-
tioD and mismanagement plunged the
country into financial embarrassment in
1873, wrecking the interests of capital
and labor alike and threatening general
disaster to our material interests. Early
in the present struggle Chairman Cessna
instructed his subordinate managers that
- workingmen generally voted " through
their eyes," the appeal should not be
made to their reason but to their preju-
dices and their sense of the spectacular.
Improving upon this idea, Republican
employers have gone further and resorted
to the worst sort of bulldozing by post
ing notices in their mills that if Hancock
is elected they will cut down the wages.
They are careful to make no promises that
if Garfield is elected there will be any
increase in the present wages which,
after all, and in consideration of the pur-
chasing power of dollar, are by no
means the best that American working
men have experienced. They fail to tell
their workingmen, what is the truth, that
depression fell upon the country under
Republican Congress and relief came
with Democratic restoration. Six years
of Democratic control, gradually in
creasing, In Congress have seen what
ever improvement there has been in
business the economies enforced by the
Democratic House, and the conservative
settled tone impressed on public affairs
by it, have given the country the promise
of prosperity which can only he realized
by the continuance of the Democracy in
control and by the triumph of the prin-
ciples of non-sectiOnalism and conserva-
tism. There can be neither peace nor
prosperity under a party of hate, of sec
tiOnalism and of GENERALIZATION of a
party scheming now for Grant in 1884,
and the stronger government in 1883,
when there shall he no free choice of
public officials, and the select few shall
vote for the disfranchised thousands.
The Democratic party is for the right
of every man to cast his vote as his rea-
son and his patriotism dictate. The mill
owner votes according to his best light !;
let him allow the mill hand to do the
same. The employee who would post up
notices telling his employer how to vote
would receive a speedy invitation to
quit, and yet it is in accord with the
spirit of our free institutions and our
system Of popular education that the
iron worker should often be quite as ca
pable of judging what is his duty and
his political interest as the iron master.
Free speech and free press can only be
supplemented by the free ballot.

Mr.. CASSIDY, of Philadelphia, who
speaks for the Democracy in the court
house. this city, tonight, is one of the
ablest and most eloquent party leaders in
this state. As chairman of the consoli-
dated campaign committee in that city
he has effected an entire union of the
Philadelphia Democracy in purpose and
action, as the New York city Democ-
racy effect their union to-day on
local and national issues. He comes
here under these favorable auspices to
speak words Of good cheer to the Lancas-
ter Democracy. to tell Of hopeful cam
paign in his city to keep the Republican
majority down to figure Which earnest
work by the state Democracy can easily
overcome, restoring Pennsylvania to her
true keystone place in the federal arch of
q restored union.

MINOR TOPICS.

A PROMINENT Republican politician and
bank director of this county, who has been
loudly proclaiming that if Hancock is
elected hard times will ensue and the rates
of interest advance, recently charged a
poor colored man s. for the loan Of SO
for twenty days.
WHAT opened the purse strings of the
rich friends of Grant and a third term i'm
mediately after the Mentor conference !?
What induced Don Cameron, who had
been as dumb as an oyster ever since Gar
fields nomination, to raise a large sum
of money and carry it to Indiana with his
own hands IN 7. Sun.
TIE proprietors of the Baltimore Sun
arranged to end the festival of the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary Of the
founding of that city with four free con-
certs-two matinees and two evening per-
formances-tob be given to-day and Tues
day. The music is to be under the dircc-
tion Of Wernig's Seventh Regiment band.
THE Republicans are not content with
dividing tho country into two hostile
camps of sectionalists and unionists. They
are bent on dividing society into two hos.
tile camps of the capitalists who are to
dictate opinions and of the laborers who
are to accept them. Is it wise for the
property-owners of our great cities to help
them in this new attempt?

COTTON CONFEDERATION.
A big Fire on tho Charleston Wharves
One Man Killed,

In Charleston, S. c., a fire broke out in
one of the cotton sheds of the Commercial
cotton press and wharf company. A strong
northwest wind swept the flames down
the wharf, consuming two large cotton
sheds and one brick warehouse partially
stored with cotton. The fire spread to the
cotton on the wharves, and thence to three
British iron steamships, Barrowdale, Ira
vancore and Bedford. which were lying at
the pier partially loaded with cotton. The
Barrowdale is badly damaged, and is still
burning, having on board about three
thousand bales of cotton. The Travancore
and Bedford arc only slightly damaged.
A derrick on the Bedford was burned and
in falling struck the third mate on the head.
killing him instantly. The total loss is
about $200, 900 fully insured.

Our Candidate for Assembly.

The nomination of Mr.. Elm G.. Sny-
der as the Democratic candidate for AS
sembly from the city district challenges
the ardent support of every Democrat in
the city, not more on account of the UNA
nimlty with which the choice was effect
ed than because of The sterling worth of
the gentleman upon whom that choice
has fallen. Mr.. Snyder will make an ac-
ceptable legislator as he is certainly an
acceptable candidate. AS his nomina-
tion has proved the happy medium of
consolidating the party strength, so will
it attract to its support the sutfrages of
that large class of independent voters
who are accustomed to do their own
thinking. Unhampered by pledges or
instructions such as have been forced
upon his competitor 10y the power of the
Republican machine, Mr.. Snyder, if
chosen by his fellow citizens to represent
them in the Legislature, will 60 to the
state capital free to act for the best inter-
ests of his constituents, rs it is given him
to see them. Mr.. Snyder's large busi-
ness experience and sound practical
common sense have served the people of
Lancaster on the floor of the city coun-
Gil where for several years they have made
their influence felt, and the satisfaction
that has been derived by his imme-
diate constituents from his services there
has been clearly demonstrated by success
sive reflections in which he has invari-
ably led his ticket by handsome MAORI
ties. A mans popularity among his
neighbors is usually fair test of his sub
stantial worth, and faithful in few things
he is just as certainly faithful in many.
Mr.. Snyder has earned promotion, and
the people of Lancaster will compliment
themselves by calling up higher apublic
servant who has been 80 conspicuously
steadfast i'm his devotion to the interests
of his constituents and of the city. Mr..
Snyder's nomination will grow in popu.
larity as the campaign progresses, and
an aggressive fight all along the line
will result in his triumphant election.
The Democrats and independent Repub-
licans are afforded a splendid chance to
give Quay a very black eye in this fight,
for Mr.. Snyder,s competitor is instruct
ed by the vote of his party to support for
United States senator the head of the
pardon board brokers.
