REPEATERS'
The Democratic Executive Commit
lee of Indiana have issued the follow
ing address to the Democratic and In>
voters Of that State:
.srhe result of the election last Toes
day is q deep disappo.ntm mt to ms al.
rhe extent Of the snccess which the r..
publican party has achieved in this
is as much q surprise to the Re-
nubIicaus as il is othe Democrats, aud
proves that the majority of the Repub
Iican party were az ignorhnt ct the
methods which their corrupt leaders
we're employing as We were The tenn
oorery loss of our State ia a calamity
that time will enable US to retr1ve, but
thu injury which our free institutions
will sustain resulting froA frauds and
corruption practiced by the Repubii'
can leaders to secnre their triumph arc
incalculable.
..The causes which enabled the Re-
publican party to succeed in the cleo
sion are now plainly the partial success
of their scheme to Africanize our State
for political purposes of obtalningvotes,
the importation and use of reporters
protected by deputy marshals. and the
aid derived by them from the use OF
Federal machinery of elections under
the p~retense of supervising the election
of members of Congress. In the Presi-
dental election we will not have to n
counter these forces to the same extent
as in our State election. The corFup-
ton fund will have toSbe divided among
many States, then reporters will all go
home, and those of them who we're dis
charged from arrest OF deputy marshals
on straw bail will not be likely to make
their appearance in u State soon
again We shall have no Federal ma
chluery to contend against.
"We are Thoroughly united in onr
cOunsels. Whatever our adversarles
may say to the contrary ia untrue. We
therefore call upon you not to relax any
of your efforts. put new life and energy
into your county and township organi-
cations, and take all measures in your
power to bring out your full strength
to the polls. The same vote polled by
US in October. if polled IN November
will secure to us the State"
1.-The average majority against us at
the late election will not exceed foul
thousand. and may fall below that fig
ure. This majority car and in oul
opinion will, be overcome in the PresI-
Dental election. A change of three
votes in each precinct will accomplish
it. Remember you have q leader II
this contest who never sounds a retreat
and he commands an army that neYel
surrenders. (Signed)

ITO the Democratic and Conservative
voters Of the country: The election OF
President and Vice President is now
before you. State and local d~issentions
are eliminated from the issues OF thu
| day. The magnitude of a victory or
defeat can only be estimated by tn
forces and means employed in securing
it. BY fraud and corruption the peo
pie of the country we're defeated il

Fellow citizens. the first days re-
pulse at Gettysburg ended on the 3rt
with Hancock in front in glorious vic
tory. That victory secured us on

preservation of the Union. but OF cob'
st%itutional government. Hancock i,

pulse Is now, as then, the omen OF vic
tory, which will secure to coming gen
erations the -inestimable blessing ot
civil liberty
