There is no doubt but the Democrat,
managers are frightened about Indiana
The determined stand taken by the Re
pubiicans to arrest and punish the Ken
tuckians, Tennesseeans. and Georgianl
who have been imported into the Stats
for the purpose of voting has given the
Democracy decided backset. Hence
the apprehension that the Republicans
will carry the State at the October eiec-
ten.
The loss Of both Indiana and Ohio
would be death blow to Democratic
hopes. The Democratic National Com
mittee thoroughly appreciate the situa-
ton, and; while not giving up the fight
In Indiana, Mr.. Barnum and his col
leagues have resolved to make their big
fight in Ohio. More Democratic cam
paign funds viii be used In Ohio than
In the entire solid South. 1t Is appar-
ent to every observing man that the
Democratic committees in Ohio are well
supplied with funds. and up to date the
Democrats have expended five dollars
where the Republicans have expended
one. Democratic clubs have been uni
formed and equipped with torches and
transparencies without cost to large
majority of the invidual members. That
is not true as to Republican clubs and
companies in this city, at least. These
clubs have purchased their own equip
ments with money raised among the
members, or contributed by elderly rel
atives of members.

All Of these men have money in their
pockets, furnished, there is reason to he

friends In the South. They claim to be

other. Enough of these men to change

They ,ciH not cote here; at least large
number of them will not, for they have
been "spotted" and Registered" 1t ia
neither unconstitutional nor unlawful
to register that class of voters; and our
Republican canvassers and committees
are making the registry. These fellows,
finding that they have been detected
here, and will be arrested If they at
tempt to vote, will, in all probability,
change their field of operations.
Kentucky and Georgia can spare
enough of Democratic voters to carry
Ohio and Indiana both In October and
November. Ohio Republicans should
adopt the Indiana plan, and prepare a
list of all voters who have settled in any
township, ward or precinct within the
last year. OF course, a large number OF
such men are lawful voters, but that
fact can be readily ascertsined. But no
man who has not resided In the State
one year next preceding the election,
and in the county thirty days, is enti-
tied to vote at any election In this State.
We caution our Republican friends to
keep sharp lookout for imported vo-
ters.
The Cincinnati Enquirer charges that
the Indiana Republicans have made ex-
tensive preparations to arrest men be-
cause of their intention to vote. the
Democratic ticket. The Indiana Demo-
cratic papers assert the same thing. We
all know what that means. 1t means,
simply, that the Indiana Republicans
are tired Of being Outvoted by men who
do not live in their State, and have re-
solved to put stop to it. No citizen
who is entitled to vote will be arrested
or otherwise molested.. The Indiana law
is like that of Ohio as regards Illegal
