INDIANA AN OCTOBER STATE.

By virtue of the decision of the Supreme
Co urt Indiana is relegated to an October
State In the campaign Of 1880, and will be,
as in 1876 the battle field. There is no dis
guising the fact. Republican organs assume
that Indiana is doubtful State. They pro-
claim that they will carry the State in Octo-
Der, and to make their declaration good are
training for the fight. To meet them, to
crush them, to gain triumph in October
and make success certain in November will
require on the part of the Democratic party
the most thorough organization, the most
harmonious action, the most consummsts
skill in handling Democratic forces and re-
sources, and the most indefatieable labor.
1t will not do to make mistakes
now. The State ticket is a winning ticket.
Its personnel and its moral could scarcely
be improved. 1t is sboYe reprosch. Il is
OF me people. 1t is strong in character and
worthy of confidence. The National ticket
comes grandly to its support. Hancock and
English are winning names They are men
of success, and hence the Democratic party
of Indisna enters the campaign for the o.
tober fight splendidly equipped. The fight
from the start must be aggressive. The
Democratic party has nothing to defend.
Whitewash is not required. Hon. Franklin
Lsnders and Hon. Isaac P. Gray are men
whose characters are without blemish, and
the remainder of the State ticket stands
equally high. Let the watch fires begin to
burn. Let the Democratic army, under its
chosen leaders, begin to move on the enemy's
works. From the Ohio to the Illinois line,
and from the lake to the Ohio, let the bat.
tie shout be heard.

THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL.

The issues of the campaign of 1880, which is
to determine the position Of parties for many
years, will soon be fully made up. Upon
them the Sentinel will speak with no uncer.
tain sound. As it has been found in the
past battling for Democratic principles, 30 it
will be found in the future with none the
less of vigor and spirit. The Democratic
party has now a supreme opportunity-one
which will show its honesty of purpose, Its
fidelity to principle, and its determination
to resist the corrupt and centralizing tenden-
cies which have grown up during the past
twenty years. since the Republican party
has been in power.
In order, therefore, that the Sentinel may
assist In the good work, it is offered at ex-
tremely low rates for the campaign, as fol
lews:
For the Daily Sentinel (sundays exOepted)
per month, SO cents
For the Weekly sentinel until the result of
the Presidential election is announced I'm No
vember, SO cents.
This includes in all cases the prepayment
OF postage by the publishers.

THERE is some probability that the United
States will have to take another slice off of
Mexican territory. The Government of that
sham Republic is too weak to keep its raid

war is justifsble. IfMexico was cut down
about one-hslf, 1T would be better for herself
and her neighbors.

Jackson Ferguson. Supervisor Of the

United States Census Agent from WASH

Mr. Ferguson informed . Gazette repor-
ter that the official returns Of the census
OF Nevada had been completed. The
last folio was made up at Wadsworth
yesterday. on his way here. The law
required the csnsus to be completed In
June last. A complete census was in
that month obtained OF every county in
the State except Humboldt and Lincoln.
Returns from Union, Golconda and Mt.
Rose division OF Humboldt, and from
two divisions Of Lincoln county were
wanting. Yexatious delays have &C.
Cured in gathering and completing tho
rsturns from these WI counties.
Mr.. Ferguson bad not access to his
books last evening. He was. therefore,
unable to give the exact figures OF the
g He stated. however. that the
total population Of the State is very close
to 60, OO0-not more than 200 above or
below those figures. The returns show
. general gain throughout the State over
the last census. It was expected that
Storey county would show asrsat falling
of, but its present population 10 between
l6, 900 and II, 900. an increase OF about
$500 over its population in 1870. Tbs
exact official figures Of the census Of the
State will appear in q few days.
Mr.. Ferguson thinks that the Enumer-
ators 10 Nevada did not receive sufficient
compensation. Their pay was only 50
per day. In some instances 1t had cost
them 81 per day, for . number OF days
at q time. for horse hire. The cause OF
the long delay in getting returns from
Humboldt and Lincoln counties was
partly the insufficient pay. Several
Euumerstors abandoned their work be-
fore 1t was bali completed.
