the solid South by force and intimidation,
and it is now trying to use the like tactics in
some of the close Northern States. In In
diana floods of Southern money have poured
in, and troops of repeaters and intimidaters
are already here from Kentucky, Missouri,
Ohio, and Illinois. From the two former
States they can be spared because of the
large Democratic majorities, and from the
two latter because the Democrats know they
have no earthly chance of success. The only
breastworks against these agencies of evil is
the vigilance of Republicans and the authority
and force of the laws. Yet some spineless Re
publicans rush to reinforce the bulldozing De-
mocracy, and are willing to give over the
State to the proposed Democratic rape.

THE SCOTT LAW DECISION.

The Ohio Democratic Supreme Court has
ere this discovered that its contemplate bid
for votes will act as boomerang. We feel
fully justified in denouncing the decision as
unqualifedly infamous, without special re-
gard to the merits of the decision per Sc. Evil
dence is not wanting that it was timed for
partisan effect, and communicated to saloon
lists in advance of its formal announcement.
In support of this it may be cited that on
Monday it was published that the decision
would be rendered on Tuesday and, as if this
was not shameful enough as early as Satur-
day or Sunday word had been send to various
cities that the court would declare this act
unconstitutional on Tuesday. In Cleveland
as early as Sunday $500 circulars had been
distributed to saloon men and their families,
inviting them to special meeting on Tues
day, the object of which was so generally I'M
derstood that when the "news" of the decision
was received, while the meeting was in ses-
sion, no surprise was manifested The shame
of prostituted decision may as well be ad-
mitted.
But the court will live to learn that the peo
pie will not tolerate judicial harlotry that
parts with its virtue for the price of political
preferment. Nor will the people of Ohio pa
tiently refund So, 600, OOO with interest, to sa-
loon-keepers. 1t were as ridiculous to talk
Constitution" to them under the circum-
stances as it would be to lecture on the theory
of cyclones to the man whose house has Just
been demolished. No man in that State is
benefited to the extent Of penny except sa-
loonists. The killing of the Scott law is no
advantage to brewers nor distillers-no posi-
BILE advantage to drinking men. The tax i'm
posed was most righteous, in that it laid the
burden of keeping the peace upon the bust
ness that most greatly disturbs it, the cost of
courts upon the men who send most cases
there, the expense of prisons and almshouses
upon those who prepare large per cent. of
the inmates for them.
The indignation felt is not confined to tenn
perance men, nor do Republicans seem more
disturbed about it than do Democrats who
with good reason, fear the resulting effect that
is sure to follow Members of brewing firms
in Ohio are divided in opinion on the merits
of the decision, but almost without exception
the brewers insist that the liquor business
must be taken out of politics, thing that the

thing hawked about the streets and to be
made the subject of fiippant impeachment by
Christian ministersf In view Of what has
been done, in view of the dastardly invasion
of one of the purest of American homes, of
the shameless DETACHMENT Of the grave of a
child, and of the insult now flung in the face
of every woman in the land is it not time
that the righteous wrath of the people de-
scended upon that party guilty of all these
infamies and of the nomination and
defense of confessed ibertineR
The danger that threatens the
business of the country becomes secondary to
that which imperils the safety and sanctity of
home. Roue and libertine have clasped
hands, and the Democratic party champions
harlotry at the expense of domestic purity and
wifely honor. The vengeance of outraged de-
cency should descend upon these social cor
morants that fatten on scandals, and seek to
climb to power by prostituting and, dishonor-
ing woman, and regarding womanly virtue a
bauble fit only for fools and fanatics.

HENDRICKS A REBEL sYMpATHIzER,

We have letter from an independent Re
publican of this city in which he says an
opinion has gained some ground that Governor
Hendricks was antagonistic to the policy of the
Lincoln Administration during the war. Such
an opinion is absolutely unfounded in fact
Governor Hendricks was as loyal man as
lived in the United States.-N. Y. World.
So far from this being the truth, Governor
Hendricks was never in accord with Mr.. Lin
coin, was always regarded as a rebel sympa-
thizer, and did all he could to prolong the war
and to discourage the cause of the Union. Of
the 200, 900 soldiers sent to the front from
Indiana there was not corporals guard but
despised and hated him. and his confrere Voor-
hees, only less than they hated and despised
jeff Davis. Mr.. Hendricks was a copperhead
and secession sympathizer from the beginning
to the end of the war. On the occasion of the
assassination of Mr. Lincoln, Mr.. Hendricks
was not allowed to speak at the meeting held
in this city, so deep was the hatred of loyal
people for him.

Mr.. JOHN j. COOPER is not getting along
well in the distribution of his pastors. He
sent two letters with pastors inclosed to Mr..
r. i. Lingo, of KoBomo, who sends them to
the Journal, accompanied by a letter we cam
not publish, but which is by no means COM
plimentary to Mr.. Cooper Mr.. Lingo says
he is amazed that Cooper should address him,
as he knows he sis unfit for the important
Office" he is asking for. Mr.. Lingo is a Green
hacker and was not intending to vote for any
Republican candidate, but he will now vote at
least for Mr.. Shiel. Mr. S. F. Noble writes
from Arcadia saying:
Il prefer Mr.. Cooper's opponents pastors,
which 1 could use to good advantage, for
am personally acquainted with Mr. R. R.
Shiel, before the war; through the war and
since the war. We expect to elect him."

SOLID SOUTH SENTIMENT.

In speech before the Cleveland and Hen
bricks Club at Cleveland, Tenn, on Saturday
last, one G. Marshbank, Democratic elector,
made use of the following language:
WHY SHOULD NOT THE SOUTH BE sOLIDl
WHY SHOULD ANY DEMOCRAT. Or THE SON
OF ANY DEMOCRAT VOTE THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET. WHEN LINCOLN SENT HIS DIRTY
SCOUNDRELS SOUTH TO BURN PROPERTY,
FREE OUR SLAVES, AND RAPE OUR WIVES
AND DAUGHTERS"
The palpably ''solid South" seems to have
some method in its madness, and that no
effort will be spared to secure the object Of its
long-deferred hopes is proved by the fact that
for the first time great sums of money are
being raised throughout the South for
use in Indiana. The jefferson Demo
cratic Club, of Birmingham, Ala, was
assessed dollar each last week, the amount
being promptly and cheerfully paid. Repub-
hcans may as we'll prepare to meet and defeat

THE PLOT EXPOSED.

The Journal has already alluded to the let
ters sent out through the State by John j.
Cooper in which are inclosed "rpasters," ask
ing their use in his behalf on election day.
We have the proof that Mr.. Cooper has had
access to the subscription list of the Monitor
Journal, and his letters have been largely ad-
dressed to the tenn perance men to whom that
paper is sent. Among those who received the
letter is DR.. J. A. Lovett, of Kokomo, a
prominent and well-known temperance man,
but who happens to be opposed to the third
party Democratic annex. We give the letter
as it was received by DIR. Lovett, having been
mailed at Indianapolis, Oct. 28, at P. NJ.
The letter is as follows:
'1NDIANAPoLIs, Oct. 90, 84.
'Dear Sir-You are aware that | am
candidate for the Office of Treasurer of State,
my opponent being Mr.. Roger Il. Shiel.
'If you see fit to kindly support me, will
take it as very great favor.
81 send you, inclosed, some of my slips as
convenience.
Il am, with kind regards, yours very truly,
"JoHN j. COOPER"
This letter is Autographed, and is the same
which Mr.. Cooper is sending by wholesale.
Attached to the letter addressed to DR.. Lovett
was the following postscript written in pencil:
'As you are aware, there is a SECRET All
LANCE between OURS and the Prohibition
Party think l can rely on you to vote &C.
cOrdingly. j.. c."
From the inception of this Shiel third
party movement the Journal has insisted that
it was but Democratic move in disguise, and
the disguise very thin at that. A large number
of the most sincere temperance men of the
State so regarded it, and at once washed their
hands of it, But number Of conscientious
men, who are greatly attached to their princi-
pie Of prohibition, still continued to adhere to
it, despite the constantly accumulating evil
dence that the more prominent managers of
the movement GEOGRAPHICALLY Mr.. NJ E.
Shiel-were directly in the interest, if not in
the pay, of the Democratic party. This letter of
Mr. Cooper, and the fact that he has access
to the books of the Monitor Journal is con-
elusive proof of everything that has been
charged We ask the consideration of the
honest, sincere, conscientious men, who are
still following Mr.. Shiel after the Democratic
procession, to consider the facts here pre-
sented:
GAS YOU ARE AWARE, THERE IS A
SECRET ALLIANCE BETWEEN OURS
AND THE PROHIBITION PARITY
JIG"
The original letter, with the postscript in
manuscript, as stated, will be on exhibition
at the Journal Office so soon as received from
Kokomo-probably this morning where it
may be seen by those who desire to be further
confirmed of the truth of this publication.

'Mr. Blaine has gone among the people, has

what manner of man it is whom the Repub
hcan party has put forward for the highest
office the people can bestow Judged by old
standards, this was indecorous. In the early
and better days of the Republic it was ac-
counted unseemly for the candidates to go
among the people, and Cabinet officers were
too stately to sustain their parties before popu'
lar audiences. Mr.. Blaine has brushed thit
habit, or tradition, quietly away. The people,
in his mind, are the sovereigns, not the candi-
dates. No self-respect or dignity can be lost
he evidently believes, by mingling with those
who make the laws and make and unmake
parties. That the people approve and admire
Mr. Blaines bold and manly course, is clearly
proved by the way in which he has been every
where received; and there can be no better at
testation of the political wisdom of any ons
act than the seal of public appreciation.

THE Democratic press of South Carolina is
expressing great indignation over the discov-
cry that secret organizations exist among the
Republicans, and that the members of that
party actually mean to make an effort to carry
the State for Blaine "This is not idle specu-
lation," says one of the organs; 'their idea
is to poll the entire Republican vote in the
lower counties where their majorities are very
heavy" AS South Carolina is a Republican
State, could fair vote be polled, the attempt
to show the full party strength is naturally
regarded by the opposition as an outrage not
to be submitted to. 1t is quite probable that
the shotgun policy will prevail and that the
State will go with the rest of the solid South
this year. This year, however, will be the
last in which citizens are not allowed to exer-
else their legal rights, because under Mr..
Blaine's benefcent administration the solid
South will be broken.
