THE MOST COMPLETE ESTABLISH
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-10-23
INDIANAPOLIS IND, SATURDAY, OCTOBER %, 1885,
SENATOR BRUCE.

Just after we had gone to press
last Saturday we received a congrat-
ulatory telegram on our magnificent
victory from Senator Bruce, Of Mis-
sissippi. The Senator believes that
General Garfeld's election is now
assured almost beyondsperadventure,
that there will be an end of the
Solid South, and that under the bene-
ficent administration which Genor-
al Garfield will give the Negro race
and the people of the whole country,
North, South, East and West will
enter upon a new era of happiness
and prosperity.
Senator Bruce has right to re-
joice over our victory, for he rem
dered us valuable service in it's
achievement. One of the most en-
thusiaitic out-pourings of the oolored
people of Indiana was the one
which greeted him at Indianapolis.
The Senator is now campaigning
in New York, where he will remain
until General James A. Garfield is
elected President of this great Re-
public.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-10-23
EVANSVILLE DEPARTMENT,

It is honorable now to be an Indianian,
and this Republican victory is the most
fatal blow the Democracy has received
since the surrender of Lee. The Democrat.
ic hope of success in this section, raised their
enthusiasm to Kissing heat. But now
their defeat is a wet blanket of discourage
ment The party is croaking and grumb-
ling everywhere under the strain. The
elements hold together only by the hope of
plunder and Office, fall apart as the hopes
are withdrawn and warning, gaping chaos
takes the place of seeming union. They are
reviling and abusing one another and each
calling the other a "Jonah." Down here
the rank and file are saying cuss words Of
the Shanklins for the dirty campaign con-
duct of the Courier" and the leaders OF
the Democratic Central Committee are
abused because things were not kept
straighter. Some claim that the safety
fund was held until it was too late to use it.
The Democratic betting men lost heavily.
PUBLIC THINGS.
Several married people are in a condition
far from delightful One lady had her hus-
band before the Justice Wednesday. 1t Is
also my pleasant duty to warn our married
ladies throughout the world that
this thing of plundering and going through
q mans pockets when he is in blissful
sleep is about to be declared high crime
and misdemeanor A case of this kind is
now before our Circuit Court. John Sher-
man had his wife Nettie, arrested for rob
berry. She is now on trial. We say let not
guilty woman escape. They all do it.
Allston Shorter of whom I wrote the
leader was released from confinement. No
charge is brought against him. Rouse who
began the trouble by shooting first and who
was shot has left the city.
Daniel Parker an honest man and good
Industrious citizen was buried Wednesday.
He was the worthy treasurer of Young
Mems Hope Lodge, U. B. F. They took 9

Mr.. Jarvis and wife left Tuesday for
New York. Mr.. Jarvis has been employed
for number of years in the St. George, but

Troublesome" Children.

Children of force, vitality, sensitiveness,
individuality, will quarrel more or less in
spite OF everything. Grown people pos
sessing these qualities do so. The aggres-
sive man was an aggressive boy; the enter
prising, energetic man was an enterprising
restless boy, often very uncomfortable boy
to get along with. Selfshness properly
| regulated is a very necessary part of the
successful individual. Sensitiveness and
impatience are by no means inconsistent
with fine and noble character
There isn't a mother alive to the interests
of her children and her own responsibilities
| that can help exclaming: "Who Is sufi-
| cient for these thingsl" but when we have
| done our best the wisest thing we can do is
to leave events with God, and not cripple
our energies nor waste our time in the con-
| temptation of our own ineficency and
weight of responsibility resting on us
When we have done all we can do to form
right habits in our children and correct
their faults, they leave us, and the world
takes them in hand. The impatient man
| finds that he must control his temper and
repress his hasty words or he loses by it;
the careless man finds that to succeed he
must learn to be careful; the arrogant man
is taught by snubs to tember his arrogance
with civility; the dishonest man finds that
''honesty is the best policy" though he may
not reduce the maxim to practice in his own
life,
| When we have implanted an earnest de-
sire IN the hearts of our children to grow
every day more and more noble and true
when we have kindled within them the
fires of earnest and unquenchable aspiration
toward whatever dignifes and exalts human
character, when we have given them an ha
bitual impulse upward and forward, WI
have done well by them. The leaven once
hidden in their measures of meal will WORK
till the whole lump is leavened. 1t takes
God himself, not to speak irreverently
ages to make such world as this, age
more to bring the human race to its presen
state of improvement. He bears with Grim
inals and human hyenas and waits for tn,
good to triumph over the evil. Can not WI
wait for our children to mature into q rip
ened manhood and womanhood?
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-10-23

Morton has been redeemed, and too much
praise can not be bestowed upon the men
who fought so nobly.
The contest with us was not confined to
Ohio Republicans and Democrats, but we
had "repeaters" and ''shoulder.hitters" with
whom to contend. In Troy, Joe Goss and
an English ''nose-masher" by the name of
Stewart were assigned to do duty, but they
did not prove as successful as did the con-
querors of ancient Troy. We gave them to
understand that Ohio could and would take
care of herself and that is just what hurts
Jongee Thompson. Poor fellowl he takes
great comfort in the belief that the "porta-
bic nigger" did it.
How is Bill English2 We wonder if he
remembers his famous speech in Congress,
in 1860, when he said if the negroes were
given their freedom, "How long would it be
before the Hon. POmpey Smith, Fred. Doug
lass, or some other kinkey headed and thick
Tipped darkey presents himself, all redolent
with the peculiar odor of his race, to claim a
seat as one of the peoples Representatives" ?"
What thorn Hon. j. S. Hinton must be
In the side of the ''poor mans friend" Just
think of it, Mr.. English, "darky," "all
redolent with the peculiar odor of his race, -
will assist in making laws to govern you.
Now we advise you to rise and protest, ap-
peal to your countrymen, as you did in 1860,
"to set their faces against this whole negro
movement" and probably it will bury you
In political oblivion for another twenty years.
Indiana is to be complimented in electing
Hon. j. S. Hinton, gentleman of brains,
to her Legislature. She is following in the
footsteps of Ohio. These men, Williams
and Hinton, send back the Haunting lie that
the sole constituents of the negro are "big
feet and ignorance"
We heartily endorse ''Wraign" in refer
ence to a colored teachers association
There are many things the teachers of color
ed schools need to discuss that never receive
the least attention at our Teachers Associa-
tions. Sc we shall expect s'Wraign," with
his Free Lance, to lead off We remember
him as great organizer, fearless of friend
or foe, and shall look for much at his hands.

A discussion has arisen in francois to the
costume worn by Charlotte Corday when
she stabbed Marat, and some modern ladies
have pronounced her conduct shecking-not
in committing a murder, but in killing a
man in his bath. Modern modesty need not
be shocked. In later days of the old French
monarchy ladies frequently received visitors
while enjoying bath. But there was no
impropriety. They wore bathing suits Of
the finest Valenciennes; and the water in
the bath was made opaque by the addition
of bottle Of essence or jug of milk, But
for the name of the thing, they were more
decently clad in the bath than in the ball
room,

Elsewhere we publish an extract from
the Ortonville Herald, criticsng the call
as issued for the District Representative
Convention, and stigmatizing it as a trans
parent fraud The Herald is somewhat
hasty in this matter and does the commit
tee an injustice, as there was nointention
on the part of amy one, to deprive any of
the counties of the representation to which
they We're justly entitled, At the last Rep
resentative convention the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted;
ReSoSoed: THAT in calling representative
conventions, the representation of each
county he based upon the average vote
cast for State officers, at the last proceed
ing general election.
This resolution tied the hands of the
committee and compelled them to base the
representation on hast falls vote. AS re-
CARDS the figures on which the apportion-
ment was BASED, they were obtained from
the county Auditors of the several counties
and We're compiled from the official returns.
The average vote in Pope county was $50,
this entities them TO eight delegates, and
Stevens county having 4G4, we are proper
ly allowed six delegates. We can assure
our friends in Big Stone county that no in
territorial injustice has been done them, and
may further say, that in-so far rs this
county is concerned, we will do all in our
power, if it is proven that a wrong has
been done them, 10 secure for them in the
convention the representation to which
they show themselves entitled. The com,
mittee have endeavered to make the ap,
pointment satisfactory, and if the vote in
this district was light last year it would
cause an equal loss TO all, which could moi
be remedied and live up to the resolution
