THERE is but to-day remaining for prepare
ton for the reception of Mr.. Blaine to-mor-

by the committees, but by every citizen who
desires that the capital city of the State shall
do itself credit in the display to be made. Our
special from South Bend gives the particulars
of the very handsome and elaborate arrange
ments made in that enterprising city of the
north. Indianapolis will have to bestir itself
to equal that display, to say nothing Of ex-
ceiling it. Let the public spirit of Indianap-
oils be shown in the tasteful decorations and

litical significance, but for the credit of our
public spirit, Indianapolis should Guido itself

THE ELECTION IN INDIANA,

The Republican voters of Indiana are as in
telligent and as well advised as any in the
Union, and they fully understand that the
electoral vote of Indiana is essential to Demo
cratic success. They moreover understand
that the talk of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa
or Wisconsin being doubtful" States is the
sheerest nonsense, INDUCED in for the sole
purpose of diverting attention from Democ-
racy's desperate methods now preparing to
carry Indiana. They nave heard the threat of
the Courier Journal that Kentuckians must
'take care of Indiana" by bloodshed if nee
essary. They know that of the. Democratic
corruption fund raised in all parts of the coun-
try, and particularly in the solid South, no
less than $500, 900 has been set aside to de-
bauch Indiana. They are acquainted with
the bloody means Intellectually tried at Cincin-
natl to intimidate United States deputy mar
shals, and are now listening to the threats of
Chicago desperadoes to p~recipitate a riot in
event federal officers seek to shield the ballot

new experience of Indiana Republicans; they
heard exactly the same threats in 1876,
whom the money of Samuel J. Til
den and his constituencies hackers
carried the State for a Democratic
presidential nominee for the first time in a
quarter of a century. They have not forgot
ten the attempted practice of the same scheme
in 1880. They defeated it then, and will de-
feat it now. Indiana is Republican on a fair
vote, and we have no need for Kentuckians
''to take care of US. If the Democrats of
Kentucky, or any other State, come among us
get the latter, but the former will be respect
fully but firmly denied them. Indiana is go
ing Republican this time, for the reason that
there are more Republican than Democratic
voters in the State. The Sentinel puts up a
s~pecious plea for fair elections to hide the use
of the fund collected to corrupt the State and
to pay an army of blood-tubs and repeaters.
Republicans not only ask for a fair election,
but are going to do their utmost to see that
the votes are honestly cast and fairly counted.
No threats, such as uttered by the Courier
Journal and Chicago Times, backed by cut
Threats and sluggers, will deter Republicans
from insisting on a fair election. Realizing
the responsibility resting upon them, they
will not allow the State to be stolen by the
Democrats by fraud nor plundered by VIC
lence.

WHAT have the congressional maiorities to
do with testing the strength of the parties in
the States-Cincinnati Enquirer.
They have very much to do with it. The
congressional candidates represent exactly the
same questions that are at issue in the No
vember election. Mr.. Robinson's election
has nothing whatever to do with the tariff.
Can you say so much of the defeat of Frank
Hurdf Mr.. Hurd, reelected, would have had
a voice in voting against protection, which he
undoubtedly would have lone Hurd was
defeated on a national question, and Ohio will
give an increased Republican majority for the
reason that Mr.. Blaine stands as the champion
of the American idea that Mr.. Hurd despises.

In addition to the letter from Rev. Geo.

another investigation he should come further

A FAIR ELECTION.

1t might as we'll be understood now that
the Republican party is not easily frightened.
The threats made in 1880 are being essentially
repeated in the big cities now, and violence is
threatened in event that federal officers insist
on a fair election. The Louisville Courier
Journal has declared that Kentucky must
''take care of Indiana" and this State must
be carried for the Democratic party, by blood
shed, if necessary, The Chicago Times of
Saturday likewise invites mob violence in
case any 'bulldozing" is attempted ''by negro
or other deputy marshals." At Cincinnati a
fair election was had only by the most de-
termined stand made by United States deputy
marshals. The opposition papers howl about
federal interference and fraud, but are able to
locate not even a single fraud perpetrated by
or through the deputy marshals. II they
were able, they would be quick to doso. Not
one legal voter was prevented from casting a
ballot, and not one illegal vote was polled
through the influence or aid of the
men present to preserve the peace and
protect voters. The courts are open
for the prosecution Of fraudulent voters.
Let Democrats appeal to them. 1t is useless
to bloviate and threaten. Southern methods
will not avail in the North. There will
probably be a full and free vote in the city Of
Chicago, despite the fact that the Democratic
officials have placed two-thirds of the polls III
whisky saloons, and that man will get into
serious trouble who undertakes to interfere
with the officers appointed to guarantee one
ballot freely cast and fairly counted to each
voter. Neither one hundred Democrats, Or
ganized or unorganized, nor 200, nor 10, 900
can override the federal government. Nor
will they seriously try to. The buster now
INDUCED in is for effect-for the purpose of
influencing voters to resent this ''interfer
ence" with the States rights, nothing else.
If by chance this should be a mistake, and
Democrats are really organizing to oppose the
lawful methods taken to protect the ballot
box, it is all right, The mol that attempts
to prevent a full vote aud fair count will have
the life choked out Of it or shot out of it to its
full satisfaction.

THE New York Times, free-trade independ-
ent, one of the bitterest opponents of the
Republican party, had the following terms to
apply to Grover Cleveland in 1888:
"a political blind man. A man Of desper-
ate hardihood. A man authorizing o great
public robbery. A man yielding to political
pressure. A man commencing himself to the
public distrust. A man willing to swindle
the States creditors. A man playing cheap
and scurvy tricks. A very ~low-priced re-
former. A man backing an infamous political
Job for the enrichment of a political gang. A
man Of humbug political pretensions. A nan
making nominations for considerations purely
political. A preposterous presidential candi-
date. A parochial statesman"
These words were uttered by the Times,
not years ago, but within the past few months,
and at intervals extending over months, show
ing that its opinion of Cleveland was thor
oughly grounded by extended contemplation
of his characteristics as a public man and his
acts as apeoffcial. How preposterous, then,
it is for the Times to give utterance to the
following in 1884:
There is nothing in Governor Cleveland's
public life that needs apology or defense,
nothing that calls for explanation that is not
easily made in a way to convince all candid
minds of the purity Of his purposes and the
honesty of his efforts"

SHALL THE sUPRBME COURT BE DEMO.
Ratio

The Young Mems Democratic Club of
gestion and warning to the people Of this
country. 1t shows that during the next
presidential term four justices of the Supreme
Court will have reached the statutory age
for retirement, viz: Chief-justice Waite,
born Doth of November, 1916; Mr.. Justice Mil
Ter, born April 5, 1916; Mr.. Justice Field,
born Nov. 4, 1916; Mr.. Justice Bradley, born
March IA, 1918, The next President will in
all probability appoint the successors of these
justices. Either Mr.. Blaine or Gov. Cleve-
land will, as the circular declares, substan-
TALLY determine for years to come the consti-
tuition of the court. The business of the
court having fallen -four years in arrears, the
creation of additional j~udgeships has become a
pressing necessity. Whether the additional
judges are added to the court itself, or form
an Independent court of appeals, they will be
the nominees Of the incoming President, Civ
inghim, with the four Supreme Court APP
pointments, a power over the judiciary per-
haps beyond that enjoyed by any Of his pred
e~cessors. This responsibility upon the mex
President can hardly be oyer-estimated.
This follows nearly the language of the circu-
lar; and by reason of these considerations the
Young Mems Democratic Club urges the cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland.
The facts stated should put the oonserva-
tive, thoughtful people of the country on
their guard. Will it be safer, even conceding
that reform is necessary" to give the Demo
cratic party the control of the Supreme Court
of the United StatesY There is something
startling in the suggestion of the Brooklyn
Democrats. Think of it, you independent
Republicans who profess to love the principles
of the party and to be opponents of the Dem
ocratic party-will it be wise to give the Su-
