preservation of the Union, but of the
constitutional government. Hancock is

| RICHMOND, Oct. 13.-The Daily Dis
patch, commenting upon the election,
says: The results of Tuesday show that
our mis-ealled northern brethren are not
only bitter writers, lihelers and SANDER
ers of the southern people, but are our
enemies. They would not allow the
southern people 10 go like Pharoah !;
they harden their hearts and forbid us
to move step, but unlike him they
have not yet been overwhelmed in the
Red sea. The popular prejudice and in
vlncible ignorance still rules the people
| by whose bayonets, states and union
were pinned together. They will neith-
er allow us TO be their equals out of the
union nor within the union. We are still
their enemies. We offered, in 1872, to
| elect the prince of the union, the aboli-
ton president, and his own section re-
pudiated him. In 1876 we elected dis
tinguished New Yorker president and
he was not permitted To take his seat.
| In 1850 we propose to elect a most ac-
complished officer in the federal army
to the high Office, and the people of the
north band themselves together as his
and our deadly enemies. More in sor-
row than in anger do we aythese things;
deeply do we regret it, that we of the
south are to continue to be aliens and
strangers in the land of our fathers. We
confidently counted upon success in In
diana, and because of that confidence in
the result in Indiana, we entertained
hopes of carrying OHIO, our theory being
that both states would go the same way.
The result, as we have already said, is
evidence enough that the northern peo-
pie look upon US of the south as enc
mics. The sOlidif1ed north, as an offset
to the solid south. Let us trust that the
wrongs of the reconstruction days are
not to be repeated.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 13.-The News and
Courier says: Happily the Democracy
is not unused to reverses, and the defeat
of Tuesday will spur the party to re-
double their efforts to bring every state
in the union in new phase, which the
presidential struggle has now assumed.
We cannot afford to take any risks. Han
al vote that The southern states can give
him, but even if Ohio and Indiana should
vote in November as they have voted in
October, there are other northern states
which may have an unpleasant surprise
in store for the Republicans, as Maine
gave them last month.
Landers' Lament.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13-"Outman-
aged, Out-voted and out-stolen," expresses
the sentiments of the disguised Demo-
cratic leaders here tonight 1--WE had
no organization" groaned Mr.. Landers
to the Chicago Times correspondent this
evening. 81 knew it all along, though
hoped that might be deceiving myself
in this regard. What we had was a
patchwork affair and amounted to MOTH
ing. We did not begin work till late.
The Republicans, on the other hand, had
IuClk AldOAAuClJ lH OIuCT llN1lluS dSO
Their organization was perfect, and it
extended to every township IN the state.
They made arrangements to capture ev-
cry doubtful vote, and the returns show
that they did it. You will notice a
small gain in almost every township.
That is an evidence, to my mind, of
organized work on their part Then
| they had more money than we had,
and they put it where it would do
the most good. The tariff question hurt
US good deal. We should have met
that issue earlier in the canvass. and not
sought to dodge it. In short, our cam
paign has been miserably mismanaged."
| Mr.. Eanders did not state who was re-
sponsible for this Encouragement, but
he is about the only Democrat who IS
backward IN expressing their sentiment
| in this regard. Every man of them is
cursing candidate English. He has
been picked out for a scrapgoat, and he
is catching it on every hand. Mr.. Eng
| lish will doubtless endeavor to put the
blame of defeat off on the shoulders of
Gov. Hendricks, in whose interest he
| claims the constitutional amendments
were overthrown, and this, in his opin-
ion, has been one of the principal causes
of the disaster to his party. There will
be lively race between the Indiana
great men to dodge the responsibility,
but tonight everybody is blaming the
chairman of the committee and candi
date for vice president

lowing was issued tonight:

certain sound, but booming and ringing
with the notes of Republican victory,

with those shouts of triumph which
seem to make our coming victory sure.

north against a vindictive, solid south.
We have pierced the enemy's center, but
we must not sleep on our arms. We
must charge along the whole line, and
rout him. "horse, foot and dragons"
Republicans, remember that this is the
"Iast ditch" of the solid south, and that
the desperation of despair is not to be de-
spised. Stand by your colors, rest not
for an instant; sustain your committees
