The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-01-07

drel who befouls the Office of president, aud
commanded that the work of retiring the
greenbacks should CEASE. These measures,
together with boundless hsrvests, continued
for wears, at last brought about a reaction in
business. Indiana, with other communi-
ties felt its vltalizlng effects, and labor, long
prcstrate, revived, and laborers, long idle,
hsd reason to hope for an era OF prosperity.
At this supreme iancture Republican con-
spirators, in and out of Indiana-black and
white pirates, criminals by instinct and
knaves in practice-conc sived the plan
of filling Indiana with. pauper ne
groes from the South. With stations along
the road frem North Carolina to Indian
apolis, TO direct the swelling tide of pauper-
ism, agents of the conspirators were located,
money was contributed by Republicans to de.
frav expenses, and railroads, for the infamous
purpose of coming poverty, ignorance and
suffering into money. offered the kidnapers
so much a head for all the negroes that could
be sent over their lines. In this way the exc
dus has been kept up and is still going forward
The Republican consplrators look on and
chUckle as they contemplate an increased
vote in 1880. The black kidnapers admit
that their contract ceases when the paupers
are dumped down in Indiana. After that
they are to take their chances. They are
coming to be charge upon the State, upon
counties and townships, cities and
villages. or upon private charity;
or, il they obtain work, they
displace soma white man who is dependent
upon his daily labor for subsistence; who
may be forced into idleness, and whose wife
and children are to be made to suffer in the
future, as in the paIs, for want of work.
Already the cruel displacement of white
laborers, to make room for the negroes, has
begun. We are told by the Cincinnati Conn
mercial that "a5out 5 O)0 colored people
are to be located in Indiana within six
months The State is being examined
to find homes for them" This is less
than an eighth of the number the Rapub-
lican conspirators aud thsir hired
kidnapers contemplate placing in Indiana
The estimate made some time since by
Lsngsdale, the "rsd hot'' Republican editor,
was that Putnam county wanted 200 OF these
male pauper negroes, and the Journal OF this
city expressed the opinion that every county
IN the State would probably require the same
number. This would give 49, 400 male
pauper negroes for the State. So far the
exodus shows about five women aud chill
dren for every male pauper, which
would give as the SUM total
of the pauper exodus 90,2OO psupers-men,
women and children. So far the psupers
have had to be taken cara OF, fed and shell
tered by private charity from the moment
they landed. Some have found employ
ment, aud in numerous cases where this has
occurred white men have had to stand
aside aud go into idleness that the pauper
negro might have work and a chanes to vots
the Republican ticket. In numerous
instances the poor deluded creatures
have sought to return to their native South,
and, so determined have they been, they
have started out u make the journey on
foot. The Republican rascals, seeing that
they have made blunder, are now trying
TO make itappear that the whole business is
a Democratic scheme to revive the race
prejudice, but this departure is SO puerile
that it is met With universal disgust as we'll
by Republicans and the paupers as by Dem
ocrafs
