THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6.

mander. We do not believe the people Of
Indiana viii consent to the setting aside of
their verdict through scoundrelism and crime
They will not quietly submit that the whole
State shall be subjected to such infamies
as ''Sim" Coy has practiced upon
the people of Marion county. He
may count in Criminal judge to be the pro-
tector of sal DON keeping law breakers, but he
cannot count out the Legislature of the State,
defeat the election of United States Sena-
tor, and prevent the people from opening the
State treasury, and rescuing the benevolent
institutions from the control of the specu-
lators and dishonest managers who have so
foully wronged them.
The apparent Democratic majority in the
Legislature is the creature Of colossal fraud.
There must be somewhere, in some way. an
adequate remedy for the wrongs attempted
against the people. Unless there is, law is a
mockery and free government farce.

CONCERNING THE FRAUDS.
The Excitement Caused on the Streets by the
uigh-Handed Proceeding.

The Excitement Caused on the Streets by this
High-Handed Proceeding.
When the Infamous work of the Democratic
canvassing board had begun to be generally
understood on the streets yesterday morning,
there was much excitement. Groups of men
hurriedly gathered here and there, until every
corner contained its own audience discussing
the events of the night and morning Promi.
nent business men. who. as rule, take no part
in politics, came out from behind their counters
and talked the matter over There was but one
sentiment on the street, and that was in con.
demnation of the perpetrators of the frauds.
This sentiment was not confined alone to Repub-
lcans. Democrats, those who have more re-
gard for justice right, and the sacredness of the
ballot-box than for Sim Coy and
his followers, were as outspoken in
their denunciations as the Republicans
When, later in the morning. it was known that
legal proceedings were being taken to secure for
the Coy gang their just deserts, there was great
deal of excitement among the Democratic poll
tic;ans. They were flying hither and thither,
and there was no hiding the fact that for once in
their lives they were frightened. Coy lost his
temper and gave vent TO some very forcibls ad.
jsctives whenever the matter was mentioned to
him. He was completely headed of, and after
consulting with several other Of his right-tsud
men he went to Chairman Henderson for advice.
After a conference of two hours it was decideit
that the best way to attract the attention of the
people from the affair, and make capital fos
themselves, would be to initiate the Republicans,
and call mass injecting, at the Supreme Court
room, for the organization of committee OF
one hundred, and forthwith the bills for the
meeting were printed. They were headed

WILL TIE PEOPLE STAND 1T?

The Democratic postelection frauds at
tempted in this State by men of the Coy
school are exactly like those perpetrated at
Chicago by the Mackin gang, at Cincinnati
by the Tosney crowd, and at Columbus, where
the most unblushing frauds we're perpetrated
by such scoundrels for the purpose of chang
ing the true result of the election. The
same thing was done in the city of Indianap-
oils when, under the direction of this same
man Coy, Sterling r. Holt, his servile tool,
broke open the ballot box with an ak, and
caused the ballots to be recounted after they
had been once recounted for the purpose of
changing the result. In this they were sue
cessful, and now, emboldened by the immu
nifty from arrest, they essay to change the re-
suit in the State of Indiana after it has been
made apparent to all honest men that the
Democratic party has been defeated without
question and without the suspicion of any
thing wrong in the election. This is ques
ton for the people to pass on. Will they
allow this outrage to be consumnated?
Where is there to be an end to it, And if
elections are to be manipulated. shall they be
changed to suit the wishes of the boss of the
Liquor League, who deies the law and all
lawful restriction, or will the people stand to-
gether to rebuke and properly condemn such
scoundrelsm?

The meeting, however, with ali its bluster,
did not divert the attention of the people from
the real issue. Around the hotpls and all the
public places it was laughed at as a scheme or
Coy and Henderson to ATTRACT tho attention or
the people from the infamous fraues perpctrated
during the count in this county Scarcely q
man could be found anywhere who was not loud
in his condemnation Of Coy and his
gang. A great many had heretofore
regarded him as not the incarnation Of
ali that was damnable In politics, but they no
longer had any doubt about his being even
worse than be had ever been portrayed. There
were not few men who had voted the Demo
cratic ticket last Tuesday. who expressed them
selves as thoroughly Disguised with the turn af
fairs had taken, and they wanted it understood
that, "a honest, law-abidine citizens. they took
no stock in the methods tat Coy and his gang
had practiced.
Among the merchants, lawyers and the class
OF people who compose the backbone OF a COM
munity, there were feelings Of regret that the
good name of indianapolis had been prostituted
to level Of Chicago and Cincinnati and there
was the expressed wish aud the hope that the
CO urts here would be as sure, and great deal
more speedy in their administration OF justice
than they were in Chicago. This talk OF yawn-
