nominated that "the most contempt.
bic thing thus far is the chatter about
Garfield lie has not record TO run
on for President, and il is extremely
foolish to he wasting time on him.
Now this two.iaced concern, a. IL to
win again the good graces Of Garfield,
and atone for its former abuse Of him,
has gone blindly into the fight, and
from once being a so-called lndepend-
ent sheet, is now the most violent and
abusive partisan in the business. Its
editorials on the Southern people are
a shame on decency, and We are glad
to know that the merchants Of that
city, without regard to party, have
protested in a card against this whole
sale abuse.
BEFoRE our next issue the battle
will have been fought and won in In
diana and Ohio. A great deal de-
ponds upon the result in those States,
and both parties are awake to the i'm
portance Of the occasion. The Re
publicans are rushing negroes and
thugs into both States to vote, aud if
they do not win, il will not be because
they have not used every fraud
known in the business. We believe
that Indiana will stand true to her
Democratic colors, and have a resona-
BILE hope that Ohio will speak out in
favor of change of rulers. Our
next weeks paper will tell the tale,
and if either or both States go Demo-
cratic, We will be nightly tempted to
bring out our Growing chandeliers.
In his SPEECH at Warren, Ohio,
last week, Grant said that there are
fourteen States, and localities in 9TH
ers, where a Republican can not cast
his vote and have it counted as cast.
In this sweeping and lying remark,
Kentucky is of course included, but
we would like TO be shown a single
instance where a negro or white
man has ever been denied any Of the
privileges of the ballot box here. The
General was well aware that he was
lying when he gave utterance to such
an assertion, which proves that he
can get down as low as any of his
party, when he thinks it necessary to
do so. But it is hard for man to be
a Radical and maintain self-respect.
The GREAT Democratic demonstra-
ton at indianapolis on Tuesday was a
glorious success. The procession was
over six miles long, requiring more
than two hours to pass given point
Enthusiasm was at fever heat, and the
cheers that rent the air seemed to pro.
coed from hundred thousand threats.
The Democracy in that State are said
to be in excellent trim for the fight,
and are confident of victory. to the
tune of from 5000 to $1,000. On
nothing except the most brazen-faced
frauds can the Republicans have any
hope of success. A fair, stand-up
fight would put them so far in the
minority that they would be forced to
give up the Presidential struggle.
The Louisville Commercial goes out
of its way to insult the gallant old
soldier, Col. Frank Wolford, because
he is making Democratic speeches in
Indiana. There was no better or
truer soldier in the late war than Col.
Wolford, and his dismissal from the
Federal army because of bis speech
at Lexington, condemniDg certain Re-
publican methods, was one OF the
neanest acts on record. Congress suisse
luently, without any effort on his
part, repealed the order dismissing
rim from the army, which is proof
positive that it deemed the treatment
ne had received unjust and tyranical. |
DAN DoUGHERTY, the silvery- !
ongued orator that put Hancock in
at Cincinnati, is making
he welkin ring for him now in Indi-
ma. So great is Mr.. Dougherty's en-.
husiasm for Hancock that he de-
lined recent nomination for Con-
ress in Pennsylvania, saying that all
is spare time should be devoted to
iding in the election of his tavorite.
