There was meeting yesterday of

Committee, Ex-senator Barnum,
Mr.. William l.. Scott, Mr.. Bradley
b. Smalley, Mr.. Abram 5. Hewitt,
Mr.. Barnes, Senator Jones Mr.. Will
son, Senator Randolph. of New Jer-
sey; Governor Wilt, of Louisiana,
and Daniel Dougherty were among
| the gentlemen present. Ex-senator
| Barnum made statement as TO the
causes of democratic defeat in In
diana. He claimed that the Repub-
licans purchased the State, and in
Ohio also had made their gains by
the most lavish expenditure of mon
ey. Moreover the result in Octo
ber was not a certain indication Of
what would happen in November.
The republicans must remember
that Hancock is stronger than any
local ticket. Mr.. William l.. Scott,
of Pennsylvania, also spoke, saying
that the republicans had bought In
diana. Speeches OF similar nature
were made by other gentlemen. In
the evening the following address
was adopted -
"To the Democratic and Conservative
Voters IF the Country;
"The election of President and Vice
President is now before you. State and
local discussions a e eliminate from the
issues of tie day. Tue magnitude of
victory or a defeat can only be estimated
by the forces and means employed in
securingiJ.
eBy fisud and corruption the people
of the country we're defeated in their pur-
pose In 1876, and The righ'fully elected
President WAS k, pit lIom Office.
"With the combined capital of the Re
publican arty, aided 10y repeated assess
nents upon an army Of uificeholders,
with the power of the Federal Govern
meut repre-, euted United States mar
shals at the polls, with intimidation fraud
and a resort to every corrupt appliance
known to Republican m ethods coucen-
ttated in tw o States our adversaries hav,
succeeded in procuring the probable re-
turn of the r local candidates.
"Can it be possible that in every State
throughout this broad land the same
methods can be brought to ar that
were used by the Republican III ,nagers
in Ind ANA aud Ohio? Can the greai
States OF New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, California, Colorado, Nevada
aud New Hampshire be bought intimldal-
ed, and defrauded? Even without the
vote of Indiana, which we believe will
be redeemed in November, with New
York aud New Jersey, and the Stat S
that are conceded to us, Including Name
the election of our candidates is assured.
"rhe Republican party have put III
nomination for President and Vice
President two men who, by the admission
Of their own parry and press, are un-
worthy of your confidence all your suf
trages. 1t is impossible that fifty millions
Of Intelligent and patriotic people will
consent to place themselves upon the
hu,nilating l1yel thus prepared for them
by the Republican managers.
"Fellow citiz ms, the first days repulse
at Gettysburg ended OH the third, with
Hancock in the front, in glorious victory
That victory secured us our Union.
The questi III is not now the preser-
! vaton of the Uuion, but of constitutional
government. Hancock is now, as then,
IN the front; the repul lse is now, as then,
The omen of victory which will secure
TO coming generations the iuestimable
blessings Of civil liberty.
"By order OF the National Democratic
. Committee.
WIN. III. BARNUM, Chairman.
"NEw YORK, Oct. IA, $780,"
, After the adj ,urnment OF the Execu-
! tive Commute Senator Barnum said he
was inst AS sure rs ever OF democratic
success in n bvemb"r. ave will fight
harder than cver," he said. "We have
! lost Indiana, il is true, but it will be re-
! covered iR November"
"l ou have not spent much money in
he West ?"
: IN Jt nearly as much as the republi-
} cans did. they bought up the State.
We could not cou.pete with them In
lha respect, although we felt confident
If the State"
a HANCOCK STILL CONFIDENT.
r "Lct the returns from Ohio and Indi-
ana foot up as they will see no ground
= for encouragement to the democratic
/ party" said Gen. Hancock yesterday, re-
peating what he had stated on the day
previous, and he theu added in expla-
I nation ut the republican victory in Indi-
, ana, "There were local Issues in Indl-
i ana which would have no influence in
a national political contest"

II Itwas late in The afternoon when San
