THE THIRD INDIANA DISTRICT.
The Democrats Preparing TO Flood the River
Counties with Kentucky Repeaters.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
New ALBANY, Ind, Oct. 26.-The Third
congressional district is largely Democratic, and
the drift has generally been toward that party.
In this campaign, however, there have been
promises of large gains to the Repub-
licans, but while the gains will exist
they may be overcome by fraud. Floyd, Clark,
Crawford and Washington counties are TO be
overrun by repeaters and imported voters
from Louisville and other points in. Ken
lucky. Within the past twenty-f four
hours the city of Louisville has raised
900 for use in this district principally
in New Albany and in Jeffersonville. No secret
is made of the fact that Louisville is sending
money and men to Indiana On the contrary,
it is openly avowed. The following appeared in
Saturdays Post, published at Louisville:
EVERY Democrat, young or old, who can help
the cause in Indiana should go there If there
is any virtue in Kentucky oratory, in Kentucky
money or in Kentucky whisky, Indiana is the
place to put it
young man, go to Indiana"
And the following appeared in the Louisville
Commercial of to day:
''The Democratic executive committee of this
city, in order to raise a campaign fund
for the benefit of their Democratic
brethren in Indiana, yesterday morning
issued, and distributed among the workers of the
party, one hundred subscription books. AS each
of the small army of voluntary canvassers
pledged himself to collect $lO0 the net
proceeds of this little arrangement will
be a tidy little sum of the much
needed collateral The interest manifested by
the Democrats in this city in the enterprise is
shown by the initial success of Mr.. r. S. John
son, of the Tenth ward, he having by noon yes
terday collected the amount for which he
was pledged, and by evening had exceeded the
amount by one half"
The Republicans are posted and vigilant, and
will endeavor to prevent the casting of illegal
votes, but against the influence of money they
have no weapons. The Importance of this dis
trict to the Republican party has not been
fully recognized by the party. In all
Of the eight counties composing it
there is scarcely a Republican county
official, and but one federal officer who receives
as much as $4,000 salary, and yet the Republic
ans make the most gallant and determined fight
made in the State. They are full of spirit,
aggressiveness and enthusiasm. When James
D. Williams carried the State the vote outside of
the Third district was tie, nearly. The
Third district elected him, and it is upon the
Third district that Hendricks and his followers
are concentrating their speakers. their money
and their men, and the effect is already seen in
the confidential assertions that Indiana will go
for Cleveland. If anything is to be done it were
better that it be done quickly.

At Evansville Wednesday, the Tribune CORE

Porter and the Hon. viii Cumback, who accom-

an inquiry made of him Senator Harrison said:
II have visited all parts of the State, and from
my own observations and information derived
from perfectly reliable and thoroughly informed
persons | am absolutely confident that Indiana
will cast her electoral vote for Blaine and Logan

never better organized more genuinely en-

now engaged"
Gov, Porter said; 81 regard "A Republican VIC

the certain result of the November election. In

The Montgomery Deadlock.


The delegation to the Montgom-
cry City convention did not do their
duty. That is plain, terse, but just
statement of the case. They carried
their devotion to their favorites too
far. They were selected to represent
the Democrats of the district; not to
serve the selfish ambition Of any one
man. They should have made a
nomination. Either Robinson, Crews
or Edwards would have made a
creditable representative i'll congress,
and there is no hostility to either of
them such as would have created dis
satisfaction in any part of the dis
trict. One of them should have been
nominated. The delegates were
sent there to make nomination; not
to disagree, foster bad blood, and
endanger the maintenance of our
slender majority of 2,70o in the dis
trict. We hope their successors will
not repeat their folly at New Lon
don, on the 23d of September.
We are glad to notice that the
delegates from Rails county were
not parties to the deadlock. They
did all they could to bring about al
agreement. Major Dalton, who be
