was all that we asked at the hands
of the Convention, and we are in
honor bound to support the ticket sim
cerely and earnestly. 1t is our duty
not only to see to it that Mr.. Hinton is
triumphantly elected, but thatthe en-
tire Republican county ticket is sue
cessful. Personal differences and objec-
tions to individual candidates should
be subordinated to the common good.
We are in the presence OF deter
mined, aggressive, and INSCRIPTIONS
foe. The Democrats are prepared and
determined to resort to any and every
means that will insure them success.
They will scruple at nothing. They
are in the most desperate straits. The
Democratic party must triumph at
this election or suffer disintegration.
Let colored men remember that the
triumph of the Democratic party in
Indiana in October, means the tri-
umph of the Negro hating, murder
GUS bandits of the South, who are
bent on undoing the work of recon-
struction, and of degrading the Me-
gro from the high position of a
voter and an equal before the law.
The whole Nation awaits with
bated breath the result of Indiana s
ballot in October A rousing Repub-
lican majority in Indiana next Octc-
Der, insures the election of Gen. Gar
field almost beyond peradventure.
The depressing influence of Demo-
cratic victory in Indian can scarcely
be estimated.
Shall it ever be said that the I'M
civilized, brutal South, gained control
of the Government of this great Ma
ton of ours through the support and
in duence of the colored men of Tree
Indiana? We believe that we voice
the sentiment of every true colored
man in the State, when we de-
clare by all the wrongs and sorrows
and sufferings of the past; by the
memory of our soldier-dead and our
martyred kindred throughout the
length and breadth Of the South; by
all that we hold dear in life, we will
never be. found consenting to such
dishonor.

The Sun of this city, Greenback
organ, advises the Greenbackers of
the South to organize in troops and
90 in body to the polls, vote their
sentiments, stand by the box and
~see" fair count and shoot on the
spot any man who attempts by fraud
or intimidation to overthrow the will
ofthe majority. This is the sort of
medicine the bull-dozed districts of
the South need. We suggest that
the armed troops embrace the decent
men of all parties. A few demon
strations of this character would have
. most salutary effect upon the brutes
who attempt to control mems votes
by force and fraud.

were then thrown upon the charity of a big
oted people. With no property, no educa-

no means Of subsistence by day, they were
turned loose among their enemies-masters.

TOO GEN EROUS.

In his recent speech Mr.. Julian argued
that the Republican party was not entitled
to the trust of managing the government for
what it did during the war; nor was it good
and sufficient cause for keeping the Demo-
cratic party out of power that more than
half generation ago portion of its men,
bers were in rebellion against the country.
In our opinion that is sound. We turn our
backs upon 1860 and address ourselves to
1ssO.-Evening News.
The sentiment expressed in the
above clipping from the Evening
News, of this city, which is doing
good campaign work for the Repub-
lican ticket, is, we think, shade too
generous, taking into considera-
ton the character and pur-
poses of that portion of the Demo-
cratic party that inaugurated and
took an active part in the late rebel
lion. We do not think the time has
come to turn our backs upon 1860
Deserters from the ranks who have
been captured. tried, convicted and
pardoned, ought not and do not have
the same opportunities for promotion
as soldiers who have remained stead.
fast in their allegiance; and for the
same reason political party, or a
fraction of a political party, which
throws off its allegiance to a govern
ment and seeks by all means in it's
power to destroy that government,
is not entitled to be judged by the
same standard as the party which
flies to the rescue in the hour of peril,
and saves it from annihilation. We
take this ground because we believe
there should always be wide differ
ence between patriotism and treason.
To turn our back upon 1850 entirely
and address ourselves to 1880 alone,
is to put Chalmers, Hampton, Toombs
and their ilk on the same footing with
Grant, Garfield, Sherman, Sheridan
and their gallant comrades-a thing
we can never do.
These ex-rebels of the South are
no more entitled to the reins of gov
eminent now than were the Ameri-
can Tories in 1889. Benedict Arnold
could have claimed a seat in Congress
with as much grace in his day as
Hamburg Butler does now. Arnold
deserted the cause of Republicanism
and fought for constitutional mon
archy; while Butler deserted the gov
eminent instituted by the men who
gave birth to the Declaration of indie
pendence and framed the Constitution
and fought-not for constitutional
liberty, but for constitutional slavery.
Arnold fought for theory in gov
ernment; Butler for the purpose of
forever riveting the chains of bond
age on an enslaved race. The i'm
partial historian of the future must
necessarily place Arnold as high
above Butler as Jesus is rated above
Judas. We can forgive, but we can
not forget Patriots tried and true
must be placed on guard and at the
helm; pardoned traitors must be
kept in the rear. We can turn our
backs upon 1860; but we should re-
member that there arc traitors in the
camp who need watching in 1880.
