GRAND QUALIFICATION
Over the Result Of the Tuesdays Flee
tiOns.
Indiana Redeemed and the Rtpubl!.
cans Give Vent 10 Their Feelings.

Last Wednesday was IndIans's grandest
day. 1t was day when all patriotic citi-
zens rejoiced and made merry. 1t was the
day that brought the news of Indiana's re-
demption. 1t was the day that told us that
our great commonwealth, which has for
twelve long years been stepped in Demo-
cratic mire, was again free and placed in
her proper place. 1t was the day that
struck terror to the hearts of the Rebel brig
adiers and the enemies of free government.
Ere the rising of Wednesdays sun it was
ascertained beyond adoubt that Indiana
was Republican State. Every good Re-
publican gave free vent to his feelings.
Business was almost entirely suspended.
Old friends and associates were clssping
each others hands as though they had bean
separated for years. The crowd gathered
around the Post-office by the thousands
and woe be unto the prominent mnn that
had taken an active part in the campaign,
who in their course they met.
Gov. Pinchback sailed out of his hotel, to
see what the trouble was. Violent hands
were Immediately laid on him. He was
lifted clear off his feet and placed
in the first convenient place,
which happened to be wagon, and told to
speak. The Governor catching the inspira-
ton of the day, in short but earnest speech,
congratulated the people Of Indiana on their
great victory.
The grand old veteran, Gen. Streight, the
hero of Libby prison, was treated like
wise; and in his usual forcible manne,
expressed the Joy that was being experienced
by millions of loyal Americans North, East
South and West. Other speeches were made
and the entire day was given up to rejoicing
In the evening the climax was reached
Huge professions formed and paraded tn;
principal streets. Speeches were made ant
q general love feast was had. Twas enough
Joy in one day.

lTh o First Shout,
indianapolis Journal

The first shout over Porter's victory and
the triumph of the Republican cause came
from the Fourteenth ward of this city, the
ward in which is the pork k-house of Franklin
Landers, the late Democratic candidate for
Governor. 1t was o'clock in the morning
of Wednesday, October 13, that Journal
reporter came to the polls in that ward to
learn how nearly the ballots cast the day
before were counted. Twenty-Five or thirty
colored men, guarding the polls, were seated
about a fire built in the street-for the night
had been cool and the early morning was
chilly. The east was gray with faint tokens
of the coming sunrise. The watchers were
shivering around the subsiding fire. "Boys,
do you want to hear some good news2" in
quired the reporter. The drowsiest became
awake, attentive and curious. The gray
was beginning to change. 1t was getting
blue with CLEANS of red and streaks of
white.
"Of course we do" was the answer
"Then here it is: Albert G. Porter is
elected Governor of Indiana by over five
thousand votes" te
Then came aVshout from the strong, deep
lungs of those waiting sons of Ham.
And such shoutl
ows, it echoed in the woods and reverberated
among the Hills.
It went to the East, to the West, to the
North, to the South. s .,q
It was borne on the wings of the morning
to New ork, New Jersey, Connecticut;
over the prairies OF Illinois, and still west
ward hol to Colorado, youngest daughter OF
the Republic, and away, awsy, to Nevada
to California, to Oregon. The glad tiding'
winged its wey to the South. to the patient
suffering, longing freedmen of Carolina
