How Republican Victories are
Won.
The following dispatches show some
of the methods resorted to by the Re.
publicans for the purpose of carrying
elections. M. P. Handy, of the Phil
adelphia Times, telegraphs from Co.
lumbus this feature of the election in
that city: :.
al don't know how it is about Gin
cinnati, but there was some ugly work
here of which had no suspicion un-
til just now, when upon examining
the complete returns tor Franklin
comfy found that out Of total pop
ulation of 10 142 white males above q
years of age, according to the census
| taken this year, yesterdays election
turned out IL, 1862 voters. This is
iall vote with a vengeance, and the
allowance for absentees, disabled and
aliens, is little less than nothing. 1t
beats the South Carolina census all
hollow"
VOTED FOR PORTER SEVEN TIMES.
"Seven car loads of rough charac-
ters, alleged repeaters. passed through
here to-day from Indianapolis east
ward, and one Of them boasted at
dinner that he had voted for Porter
seven times. The Ohio vote is likely
to exceed seven hundred thousand, or
one to q three and fraction of the
whole population. Where all these
voters came from is what the Demo-
Gratis are trying to find out"
A dispatch from Piqua, Ohio, of the
18th inst, says:
"The Pan Handle passenger train
East this morning at 1.22 had on board
16O rough looking customers. When
the train stopped here some Of them
got out on the platform and announc-
ed that they were Eastern Republicans
on their way home from Indiana.
When the train pulled out they shout
od to the crowd: If you need us in
November, send for u.s." -
Commenting on the above, the Co.
shocton Democrat says:
"This pack of scoundrels passed
through COshOcton on the afternoon
of this day. AT Columbus one of them
was overheard to boast that he had
voted seven times in Indianapolis the
day before. At the COshocton depot
they yelled for Garfield and Indiana,
and Ad. Williams and other Coshoc-
ton Republicans took off their hats
and Justify cheered these repeaters.
So we go! We are making history,
and quite rapidly. Some of it is a
record of inf fanny that neither time or
repentance will blot out or atone
A dispatch from GALLON dated the
18th Gays:
"Two car loads of negroes came
through this city from Indiana over
the Bee Line last evening, and this
morning tour more cars chuck full OF
mokes came H. over the same line
They were all huddIed in box-cars
like so many cattle, and were going to
New York and Pennsylvania, where
they will no doubt attempt to repeat
the dirty work they accomplished iu
| Indiana
Speskins of the result in Indiana,
the Enquirer says:
"We lost Indiana. How? BY the
| Importation of negroes; by intimida-
ton; by bribery; by falsohoods; by
repeaters; by frauds the most outra-
geous in our history, save only the
one fraud by which these ravishers of
the ballot box elected Hayes and Mich
OILS by the same votes four years ago.
These facts are notorious; and do
Democrats sit down and say 1--WE
can't help it?' The Democratic vote
vas not brought opt in Indiana. Why
we need not now discuss, The Re-
publicaus cast an illegal vote of nn-
precedented size in that State. The
facts are startling. We have gone
partially over the list of the counties
and their votes, and we find that in
thirteen Republican counties where
beautiful Republican gains arc shown,
| four thousand, one hundred and ntne-
tu-sir more votes were cast than the
counties are entitled to by the census
reports! In Delaware county this
lawless excess was 435; in Gibson
county, 32O, a significant number; in
Marion, $50; in Montgomery, 633!
This is the kind of victory in
which Republicans exult. Is it vic.
tory at which Democrats apirlted
enough to defend their own should be
discouraged Democrats surrendered
Presidency which belonged to them
four years ago for the sake of peace.
How long, . Lord, how long?
GARFIELD is in favor of again de-
monetizing silver and of the destruc
ton of the greenback currency. Still
the Greenbackers are expected to do
all IN their power 10 secure his election,
HANcoCK's election means peace,
harmony, prosperity. 1t means the
maintenance of the Union bequeathed
us by the founders of the Republic
A Union of lakes and Union of lands,
Union OF hearts and Union of hands,
And the flag OF that Union forever"
SOME people take city weekly pa.
pers because the subscription price is
lower than that of their own county
paper, and when they want to know
what is going on in the county they
humble themselves by borrowing the
county paper of neighbor.-[Ex.
