THE Indiana Democrats are won.
derfully enthused over the Maine
victory, and, from being confident be-
fore, are absolutely certain now Of
carrying the State. And why should
they not No Republican has been
elected to State office during the last
decade, while the Democratic MAORI
ties have run from !, 1887 to IL, 252.
In the election corresponding to the
one TO be held in October, Blue Jeans
Williams was elected Governor by
5,0s4 majority, and at the November
election Tilden received a majority Of
j,5l4. Then, in 1873, Democratic
Secretary of state went in on a major
iiy of l4,113. There is certainly
nothing now to make them go back on
their honorable record. Landers is
the peer, if not the superior, of Porter,
in every respect, while Garfield and
Arthur are so besmirched and be
smeared with rsscality that his satanic
majesty himselfis, no doubt, ashamed of
them. The only way that the Re
publicans can hope to be victorious is
by the plan which they are working
to its fullest extent--importing negroes
and buving floaters. They now say
that they will spend million of dol
lars, or more, to carry their ends; but
the Democracy, buoyed by the good
news from Maine aud the cheering
news from other doubtful quarters,
will not be caught mapping, and In
diana will sound the keynote that
will settle beyond peradventure the
election of Hancock and English.
The Republicans all admit that if she
g res Democratic, Garheld's jig Is up;
therefore, it behooves every member
of the party to assist in accomplishing
that grand end. The devil has to be
fought with fire, therefore let Ken
lucky, especially, answer the call for
help. She can afford it, as there Is no
contest here. Chairmen of County
Committees, organize at once, and see
that every Democrat in the State has
a chance to contribute TO cause so
dear and so important.
IT TURNS out in many instances
that it we're better for the criminals
if Blackburn would let
them stay 10 the Penitentiary. Some
time ago he pardoned Henry Mocka-
bee, who was convicted of completely
in the murder of the Town Marshal
of Mt. Sterling, not even allowing him
to spend day in prison. Mockcbee
then went on the Big Sandy X. X. and
got a position as guard of convicts.
Tuesday, he took two OF them out into
the woods to chop some timber but
hey amused themselves by first knock
ing him in the head and then escaping.
Il would be good if all the unworthily
pardoned men could meet the same
ate.
THERE has been no doubt that all
he States which went for Tilden in
1916 would go for Hancock now.
This would give him eighteen more
han the necessary 1856 electoral votes,
lut who would have thought Of Maine
IddiDg its seven votes to swell the big
majority! Why, its more than prob
bile now. that Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
Llama and several of the other doubt.
Ill States will be carried by the De
nocracy aud Garfields chances poor
o begin with, are growing smaller by
egrees and beautifully less as the
avs go by.
The Republicans are publishing
very thing that any Democrat has q
yer said that is the least favorable 10
fairfield. Those certificates of good n
haracter which are few and far be- Z
seen, aud made under a false impress :
on of the man, are printed in CAPT
lis but they only go to show the strait
nat party is in. Hancock needs no
srtifcate Of character. His record is
! clean and as pure as driven snow
nd his enemies even can not find
aw in 1t.
The editor Of the Mt. Sterling Dem II
rat wants the publishers OF Central h

i've that they will credit no more on
descriptions. We see no Use Of such e
meeting. II an editor is fool enough y
give such credit, LET him do il. 1t u
