OLD MEN IN POLITICS.

Grandfather Lickshlugie and Dea-
con Radspinner, two patriarchs OF
Titusviiie, Pa, were walking down
street together. 1t was remarked
that Two such venerable men were
not often seen together, and people
raised their hats to them as they
passed along and spoke to them rev
ereutiy.
"There's entirely to much bitter
ness in this campaign, Deacon" said
MIR. Lickshingle, "and | regret it eX :
ceedingly. Now, when we wuz young
men, and took an interest in politics,
we had none of this 'ere everlastin'

"Indeed, we hadn't" acquiesced
Deacon Radspinner. "Take Jack sons

INDIANA.
A Democratic Address.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10, 1880.
The democratic executive committee
have issued the following address 10
OF Indiana:-The result of the election
last Tuesday is deep disappointment
to US all. The extent of the success
which the republican party has achiev-
ed in this state is as much a surprise to
the republicans as it is to the democrats,
and proves that the ma jority of the re-
publican party were as ignorant of the
means their corrupt leaders were en-
ploying as we were. The temporary
loss OF our state is calamity that time
will enable us to retrieve, but the ipju-
ry which our free institutions will sus-
tain, resulting from the frauds and cor
ruptlen practised by the republican
leaders to secure their triumph, is meal
culable. The causes which enabled
the republican party to succeed in the
election are now plainly the partial
success OF their scheme to Afracanize
our state tor political purposes, tho cor
rupt use of money for political purpo-
ses OF obtaining votes, the importation
and use OF repeaters, protected by depu-
ty marshals, and the aid derived by them
from the use OF federal machinery of cleo
tions under the pretence OF supervising g
the election. of members OF Congress.
In the presidential election we will not
have to encounter these forces to the
same extent as in our state elections.
The corruption fund will have to be di-
vided among many states; their repeat
ers will be at home, and those OF them
who were discharged from arrest of dep
uty marshals on straw bail will not be
likely to make their appearance in our
state soon again. We shall have NJ
federal marshals or federal machinery
to contend against.
We are thoroughly united in oul
counsels. Whatever our adversaries
may say to the contrary is untrue. We
therefore call upon you not to relax
any of your efforts. Put new life and
energy into your county and township
organizations, and take all measures in
your power to bring out ysur full
strength to the polls. The same vote
polled by US In October if polled in No
vember, will secure to us the state. The
average majority against us at the late
election will not exceed 1000, and may
fall below that figure. This majority
can, and in our opinion will be over
come in the presidential election. a
change OF three votes in each precin
will accomplish it. Remember, yor
have leader in this contest who never
sounds retreat, and he commands AZ
army that never surrenders.
