We can not see why the republicans
should feel justly proud OF the victory in
Indiana any more than any individual
should feel justly proud OF possessions IL
legltmately acquired. That the republican
victory in Indiana was accomplished
through the most glazing frauds is obvious
to every sane and fair-mindcd man. II is
known, for instance, that negroes and white
men were imported into that state for weeks
before the election; that nearly every con-
cienceless rascal in the state was induced,
by offerings of money and other emoIu-

democratic ticket, and that they did so by
going from pole to pole and voting indus.

necessary to refer to one fact, namely; that
in several cities the vote cast was much
greater than the number Of legal voters
enrolled upon the last census lists. This
alone might be considered sufficient proof
of the most glaring frauds, But let it pass

was day, dark and dismal, uninviting

people, good, bad and Indifferent On it
the wheels of commerce were clogged-by
mud--the ladies postponed their shopping
or contemplated visit to neighbors the
business men sat at their desks posting their
books, and the professional iders sat on
beer kegs in the doorway of their favorite
saloons or under the awnings Of groceries,
while they hummed their favorite ditties
and with glazing eyes and look of pro-

rain and the mud in thc'streets. Those

their hilarties. The few fashionable idleis
