proposes to find homes for all who come
The leading Republican paper Of this State
expresses the opinion that each county in tire
State needs 200 of the paupers-male adults
who with their families, will swell the grand
total of the army of the negro paupers to
about 5000. There is absolutely no work for
them. Every days work they may do
is VIRTUALLY TAKING BREAD
from the mouths of the white people of In
diana who have to work for q living. But
if these pauper negroes come, they come to
vote the Republican ticket, to rob white la
borers of the means ofsupport, and to make
alivelihood more precarious; still the Repub-
lican managers are urging them to come.
Not one in twenty of these pauper negroes

private charities, or to die beggars and paul

Republican press has determined to lend its
aid in the infamous proceeding, and their
agents are at work in the South. They, like
the Republican papers, are also ''red hot"
The pauper negroes are coming with their
filth, rags, disease and vermin. They went
TO Kansas to die. They came to Indiana to
vote-to beg, to be taken care Of or starve.
The 1oorking people are getting their cues
a0ide open on the subject, and the Republican
conspirators toit ind out at last that the best

THESE MISGUIDED NEGROES HAVE BEEN
BROUGHT TO INDIASA-wHERE THEY ARE
NOT wASTED-FRoM STATES WHERE THEY
CAN LIVE IN COMFORT. THEY ARE COMING
TO BE SUPPORTED BY CHARITY, COMING TO
sTARvE, To DRAG OUT A MISERABLE ExIs-
TEECE; BECAUSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
WANT TO USE THEM FOR VOTING MACHINES.
The MEN WHO ARE ENGAGED IN THE BUsI-
NESS ARE MORE CRUEL THAN DEATH. THEY
ARE MEN OF THE SAME TYPE AS THOSE WHO
OBTAINED THE CONFIDENCE OF THE SOUTH

DOLLAR THROUGH THE AGENCY OF THE
FREEDMAN's SAVINGS BANK. They BELONG

THE ONLY EXCUSE FOR THEIR COMING.
The people of Indiana, Republicansas vel
as Democrats, have very clear perception:
with regard to the importation Of Southern
pauper negroes into this State. The cry
about the necessity for more farm hands is a.
vile falsehood as was ever told. Nowhert
in the State, from the Ohio river to Lake
Michigan, has there been call during the
past six years for farm hands in excess oftht
local supply. Instead Of more laborers be
ing in demand, there have been hundreds Of
idle men pleading for work which could not
be obtained. The negro immigration business
IS a vicious, partisan proceeding from first d
last. IL is cruelty TO the negro, tohs Is no
1oanted in Indiana; and il is Tess singing
injustice to the l0hite Ld6orers already mere
and lcho are hGring a hard time Of it to get a
