MARSHALL JEWELL, Chairman"
ADDRESS TO THR DEMOCRATS OF INDIANA.
William II. English, 7. A. Hendricks J.
Mcdonald, Franklin Landers, Nj. Fleming, J. N.
Cropsey and o. .. Stanley have issued an ad-
dress to the democrats OF Indiana. Ii says:
p" The result OF the election last Tuesday is a
deep disappointment to us all The extent OF
the success which the republican party has
achieved IN this state is as much surprise TO
the republicans as it is to the democrats and
proves that the majority OF the republican
| party were as ignorant OF the means which
their corrupt leaders were employing as we
| were. The temporary loss or our state Is a
Calamity that time VIII enable us to retrieve
but the injury which our free institutions Will
sustain. resulting from the frauds and corrup-
tons practfced by the republican leaders TO
Secure their triumph, is incalculabe. The causes
which enabled the republican party to succeed
In the election are now plainly the partial sue
cess OF their scheme to Africanize our State for
political purposes, the corrupt use of money for
the purpose OF obtaining votes, the importation
and use OF repeaterS, protected by deputy mar
shals, and the aid derived by them from the
use OF the federal machinery OF elections under
The pretence OF supervising the election OF
members OF Congress. In the presidential cleo
lion We will not have to encounter these forces
TO the same extent as In our state election. The
corruption will have TO be divided among many
states. Their repeaters Will be at home, ana
these OF them who were discharged from the
arrest OF the deputy marshals on straw BAN VIII
not be likely TO make their appearance In our
state soon again. We shall have no federal
marshals or federal machinery TO contend
against. We are thoroughly united In our coua
sells. Whatever our adversaries may say to the
contrary Is untrue. We therefore call upon You
not to relax any OF your efforts. Pat new lie
and energy Into your county and toynship or
CARNATIONS, and take all the measures in your
power TO bring out your full strength at the
polls The same vote polled by us In october II
average majority against us at the late election
will not exceed 1900, and may fall below that
figure This majority can. and. In our opinion,
viii be overcome In the presidential election. A
change of three votes In each precinct will &C.
complish it. Remember, you have a leader In
this contest who never sounds retreat, and he
commands an army which never surrenders.
GENERAL HANCOCK EXPLAINS HIS VIEWS ON THE
TARIFF.
Gen. Hancock has written letter to ex-Gov.
