How Democrats Carry Election

y
If the Republicans do carry Indiana it
will be in face Of. fearful odds. Every pur-
chasable vote in the State ha, been pur-
chased by the Democrats But boughten
votes will not make the election of Landers
sure, and so other methods of fraud are
freely resorted to. The Indiana registry
laws are notorious for the advantages they
give to false voting. They arc indeed an
invitation to repeaters-an invitation that
the Democrats this year, as in years past,
hasten to avail themselves of. The ''fraud''
party have usually been content with the
services of Kentuckians, who have been
brought over the river by thousands to over
come the legitimate Republican majority.
In the present campaign even this great re-
source has proved inefficient, and it has been
secure the services of Speaker Randalrs ex-
pert serving-men. Last Sunday the notori-
Gus Bill McMulln leftsthe Pennsylvania
metropolis at the head of gang of roughs
and soon after arrived in Indianapolis The
story of the trip is told in the following dis
journal:
The desperate effort of the Democrats to carry
Indiana is fOrciby illustrated by the fact that
the well known Bill McMulin of this city, the
Dear Bill' of Samuel j. Randall, has been
called upon to lend his service. On Sunday
he received a telegram from Speaker Randall,
who is stumping in Indiana, to repair to that
state. Hurriedly on that day two gangs of des-
peradoes, comprising fifty notorious rutfians of
the fourth ward, We're organized. and at five
minutes to ten Sunday night they made their
departure, headed by the well known Bob
Smith, Lister, Joe Totum, Ed. Nugent Brack-
en-, Charley Burke, Nick Stafford. These men
passed through Pittsburg yesterday, and were
seen by a detective who is well acquainted
with them. Tonight McMullin himself, with
squad of fourth ward workers. took the cars
for your city. The men who go on this nefar-
ious trip include some of the worst characters
in this city They include many of those who
in the palmy days of the famous Moyamensing
hose company were known as the ''Killers y
Their duties. as stated by them to friends
before leaving, will be to repeat all they can
on election day, and make up the balance of
the time intimidating voters in the wards
where they will do the best work, for not
darkey will dare to show himself on the street
after witnessing the "kilers' mode of oper-
alton. Their plan in this city has been to move
about the wards throughout the city, knock
ing negroes down and in some cases shooting
them and refusing to allow them to vote at any
poll. They will make it lively for the people
of Indianapolis all the time until the election
is over unless the most stringent methods are
adopted concerning them before that time.
These are the methods resorted to by the
party that processes to desire full and free
vote and honest count, and Justify decaims
against fraud.

ConventionalitieS.

The conventional Irishman, sailor, rustic,
whether virtuous or comic, ruffiaL, wicked
Baronet, the wicked Earl is less fashionable
now,) all these and host of others are known,
aud have their appropriate gestures, and even
their appropriate voices, according to conven-

chile but good-hearted uncle, who raps his
stick on the stage and feigns indignation at
the extravaganza of the young dog his
nephew, while he is really proud of him, TO
speak in the same tone as the virtuous peasant,
or wicked Baronet? Any actor who dare to
do So although there is no reason in life why
he should not, would be considered failure
he would be flying in the face Of conventional
authority The finest examples of what this

PURCHASE is at present the only mode by
which the United States Treasury can get
the bonds of 1881. AS its surplus revenues
permit it is buying Them at the rate of
Sl0,0oo,000 month. December 81 the loan
of February, 1861, becomes payable, and
Sl3,6O6,OOO now remains unpaid. This is
the only sum within the reach of the treas

July next. Then all of the fives and skies

The public debt statement for the month
of September shows decrease during that
month of sS,974, ,S91 .6S; in the three
months since June So the decrease has been
S2G,57S, 112GS. Commenting on this favor
able showing, the New York Tribune says u:
Every debt statement is an argument against
u change of Administration. The Republi
can party has so adjusted the revenue laws
that an enormous revenue flows into the
Treasury each month, and the public debt
is rapidly reduced without exposing home
industries to hurtful competition from
abroad. Under no Democratic administra-
ton has it ever been found possible to raise
a.largc revenue, even for short time, with
cut severe prostration of home industry.
Yet the largest revenue ever raised by a
Democratic administration, even at the
cost of serious industrial disasters, was in
significant compared with that which the
Republican party secures, month after
month and year after year, as result of
marvellous prosperity in all branches of in
dustry and trade.
