lspt.al to the Louisville Couricr-Journali
ISDIANAPoL1s, Oct. l4.-From 10000
to 10000 illegal Republican votes were
cast in Indiana. The poll shows it, and
the census proves it. The Democratic
estimates upon the State giving from
5000 to 5000 majority were correct. The
estimates were made upon politics OF the
bona tide residents of the State. Ten
thousand ignorant, poor, miserable,
sinking negroes from the South were
brought into Indiana to vote away the
rights Of the people. These deluded
black paupers came to Indiana to Wrest
the State government out OF the hands
of honest men, who have honestly and
economically administered the public
affairs, and place it in the hands of i
corrupt political party. Think Of it,,
citizens of Indiana. The Republican
party sends South and brings to your
State ignorant negroes enough to over
ride Your choice Of rulers. That is to
say, 10000 of these cx-slaves now con-
troll the destDies of the great State Of
Indiana. its wealth, refinement and
brains, and it's 100000 of Inhabitants.
This is one of the glorious results OF the
late war.
Bill Coates, the boss leader of the
Radical repeaters brought into this
State to defeat the people, as great a
scoundrel and villain as ever went I'M

Grand Hotel last night: ".Ihe people

day. Lord but could tell them how
it was done if wanted to- And then
he gave hoarse horselaugh and walked
off with his arm in that OF Il local Re

of man brought here to do the dirty
work for the Republicans. He is the
kind Of cattle that help to make up the
Republican majority.
