Democrats pretend to be greatly alarmed
over report that the Republicans intend
TURNING THEIR NEGROES LOOSE
on electiou-day TO intmidate white Demo
cratic voters. To hear some Of them talk
the uDsophisticated night be led 10 suppose
they expected 10 be murdered IN cold blood
by ferocious mokes loaded down with razors
and bludgeons. They say il anything OF
the kind il attempted they will take mea-
sures to defend themselves. Republicans
say this tale is manufactured to furnish an
excuse for bulldozug, and that there IS 10
be an organized attempt made to intimdate
the harmless mokeS, whose sole crime is a
penchant for voting divers times. They
turtle say that they will protect their COL
ored brethren, and that if an attempt is
made TO introduce the Louisiana plan into
Indiana there will be trouble. This sort OF
talk will result in working both parties up
10 IA dangerous pitch OF excitement, and a
majority OF the Indianapolis voters Of both
parties will 60 10 the polls armed. as they
did four years ago. On that occasion cye-
- other man in the city was
WALKING ARSENAL,
md not drop Of blood was shed. Every |
body treated everybody else with distin-
,uished consideration. The opposition |
gangs Of roughs from New York, Phila- !
ielpbis, Baltimore, Chicago. and St. Louis |
brought here TO spot each other plraded the |
streets all day, without a. much as crook
ny finger, and if the 1880 election termi- |
,ates as harmlessiy, there will be no reason
o complain. 1t is evident the same tactics |
ire TO be repeated. So far as the importa-
ion OF thugs is concerned. the Republicans
ay they know OF the presence in the city at
his time OF gangs Of trained knockers
rom St. Louis, in charge OF Pat. McGiue;
rom New York, under command Of Mickey
)Onnelly; from Baltimore, under the d.
ecton of Toby O'Donough, and fity
,loOd-tubs from Philadelphia. Means will
DC taken 10 furnish cOunter-irriants.
