INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Oct. Is. MIR.
English said to-day in conversation
with seme friends That he. -hsd..not
for a moment thought of giving up
the contest in Indiana. The fight
would be made for success in No
vember just as though there mad
been no reverse in October He
said that the Republicans Of the
United States have added a million
dollars to the wealth Of Indiana in
order TO gain temporary advantage
at the polls in October, and as he is
interested in the financial prosperity
of the State be will at least force the
Republicans to keep up their assess
ments and contributions for Indiana.
He takes very philosophical view
of the situation and proposes to
give the Republicans from now until
November the hottest fight tAey
have ever had.
The following address will be pub.
lished here tomorrow: .
To the Democrats of Indiana
The result of the election of last
Tuesday is deep disappointment
to us, although the extent of the
success which the Republican party
has achieved in this State is as much
a surprise to the Republicans as it
is to Democrats, and proves that a
majority of the Republican party
were so ignorant of the means which
their corrupt leaders were employed
to achieve 1t as we were. The TEN
perary loss Of our State is a calami.
ty that time will enable us to re.
trieve, but the injury which our free
institutions will sustain from the
frauds and corruptions practised by
the Republican leaders to secure
their triumph is inCalculable. The
causes which enabled the Republi-
can party to succeed in this State
are plainly:
First-The partial success Of that
scheme to Africanize our State for
political PURPOSES.
SecoRd-The corrupt use Of mon
ey in the purchase of votes.
Third-The importation and use
of repeaters protected by the FEEDER
al deputy marshals.
Fourth-The aid derived by them
from the use of Federal machinery
of elections under the pretense Of
supervising the election of members
to Congress.
In the Presidential election we
will not have to encounter those for.
ces to the same extent as in our
State election. Their corruption
fund will have to be divided between
many States. Their repeaters will
remain at home. and such of them as
deputy marshals discharged on straw
bail will not likely make their APP.
pearance in our State again. We
shall have no more deputy warshals
and no Federal machinery welded
against us. We are thoroughly
united in eur counsels, and whatever
our adversaries may say to the con-
trarY is untrue. We therefore call
upon You not to relax any Of your
efforts, .but to put new life and ener.
gy into the contest for your counties
aud townships, and take all measures
in your power TO bring our full
strength TO the polls in November
The same vote polled in October, if
polled again in November, will, in
our opinion, secure us the State. The
average majority against us in the
election of last Tuesday will not ex.
coed 1000. and, perhaps, it will fall |
below that figure. This majority
can and will in our opinion be over
come in the Presidential election. A
change Of three woes in each pre-
cinct will be more than sufficient for |
that purpose. Remember, you have
a leader who never sounds q retreat
aud he commands an army that new.
