AS we took occasion to observe last week,
the HendersonCoy gang that the result on
the State ticket was in doubt, was that it was a
drunken freak. or a part of the game to steal
the victory. The Evansville Courier with
fatuous idiocy, fell victim, and under the
figure of full-crested rooster, printed head
lines as follows:
"Hold your Breathv-"It looks as if the
Democrats of Indiana will have the last
cheer"-"Wild Republican Claims Of Twenty
four hours ago Tanned by the Democratic
returns Good reason to believe that the
entire Democratic State ticket is elected"
The Courier may not be quite so pretty
now, but it knows more.

THE SUFFRAGE THIEVES.

The Cincinnati Sun is badly mistaken if it
imagines that Governor Gray and his friends
expect to give up hope of his being sent to
the Senate because a Republican has been
elected Lieutenant governor Already it is
apparent what course they purpose pursuing
i'll this thing. 1t is their intention to turn
every possible trick to the end of getting rid
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, by having it
ruled that the election was not according to
the Constitution, no election being provided
for. This. notwithstan ding the fact that the
Democratic Attorney general decided that an
election to fill the vacancy was imperative,
and the broader fact that the entire Demo
cratic party in the State of Indiana
conceded with him and nominated a
candidate for the position a month le,
fore the Republican convention met.
It was thus tacitly admitted that the vacancy
must be filled, and this was the understand
ing of all the people. Democrats acknowl-
edged it, and worked and voted accordingly
Now, however, that the election is past, and
it has been discovered that the Democratic can
didate was defeated, the friends of the Governor,
possibly inspired by that gentleman himself,
insist that the election was not called for. and
every effort will be made to have the courts so
rule.
This is in strict accordance with the char
acter of the Democratic managers. They
have been dishonest in every respect in the
late election. Fearing to trust the people,
they caused the State to be so gerrymandered
as to make it almost impossible for the majority
to make itself heard in opposition to the
wishes of the Democratic party. 1t was as
thoroughly dishonest in its inception and in
its contamination as anything short of a
criminal offense could be. The people un-
derstood this and did not hesitate to pro-
nounce against it in the election, disappoint-
ing the schemers and administering rebuke
they will not soon forget, though they are
already bold enough to attempt to steal what
they could not secure by lawful means. The
men who planned and voted for the gerry
mander are just the kind who are
not above stufing ballot-boxes and
changing tally-sheets 1t was the instinct
of a swindler that suggested the. gerrymander
and the subserviency of ready tool to the

MICHAEL DAvITT is evidently man of
rare discernment, and steadily refused to in
dorse the candidacy of Mr.. George for Mayor
of New York city, though he was personal
friend of long standing and in full possession
of Mr.. Davitts confidence and admiration
The Irish patriots explanation of HI refusal
to come out in card or in other way in in
dorsement of his friend was: 'It would have
been nothing but sheer impertinence in me to
do so. As an Irishman, and not a citizen of
this country, | have nothing to do with the
politics Of this country" 1t is easy to see
why Mr.. Davitt Yields such Influence with
the people of Ireland and enjoys the respect
and confidence Of Americans. He does not
care to jeopardize the cause of Ireland by
prejudicing any of its friends in America
against her.

POLITICIANS may as we'll recognize the fact
that there are no votes hereafter in the
..bloody shirt, and study these other issues.
Young politicians especially should make a
note of it-Rockville Tribune
If this tomfool statement means that there
are no votes in an issue involving equal suf-
frage, the election in Indiana tells far differ
ent story. The right Of every man to cast
one vote, and to have that vote of equal force
and effect with the vote of every other man,
received tremendous impetus on Tuesday
last. In that sort of ''bloody shirt there
are very many votes. And that "bloody
shirt" will continue to be waved with deter
mination and vigor until what it stands for is
an accepted fact everywhere, North, South,
East and West Hurrah for the "bloody
shirt" of a free and equal ballot!

A REMARKABLE TRIUMPH.

From any point of view the election in In
diana on Tuesday last was one of the most
remarkable political events of the country,
and justly commands universal atten
ton. Scarcely person in or out
of the State believed Republican sue
cess possible. A State of Democratic
tendencies, with all the Offices in the hands
of the Democracy, and being used for the
behoof of that party with a scandalous reck-
lessness never before known it did not seem
reasonable to expect the overturning of the
more than seven thousand plurality by which
the State went for Cleveland and Hendricks.
1t was true that there were number of quar-
rels among the Democracy in different parts
of the State; but they were over local affairs,
and it was reasonable to expect that these
very factional fights would increase the ag-
gregate vote for the general ticket, upon
which there was harmony and unanimity
The quarrel in this district so resulted in
Marion county. Each one of the factions
tried to prove itself made up of the better
Democrats, and hence there was an emulation
which resultedin benefit to the general ticket
Then, upon the top of the accepted
Democratic status of the State, was
the infamous and fraudulent gerrymander
which might have well chilled the enthusi-
asm and broken the spirits of any party. The
hope of capturing the Legislature seemed al
together idle, and there were none outside
the State, and but rare few inside, who
would complacently listen to talk of such
Republicans went into the fight; but the con-
test had been largely organized for them long
before the campaign opened The ink with
which the gemymander had been written was
scarcely dry before Senator Harrison, at
whom it was specially aimed, began the work
of attempting its rebuke. For months he
corresponded with Republicans every
where, arranging to contest the fraud
wherever the remotest possibility of
success showed itself. With rare skill
and consummate generalship the lines of as
sault were laid out and the plan of battle
agreed upon. Ali this, of course, was quiet
work. 1t did not expend itself in noise or
show, but its effectiveness the result demon
strates But few people, comparatively
could know OF this part Of the battle, and
therefore, when the State convention was
held, and the open canvass began, while hope
for carrying the State for the general ticket

THE Brooklyn Eagle mournfully, but with
great truth, remarks anent the recent election:
Whatever notions any of us may enter
tain as to the abstract righteousness Of free
trade, nothing is palmer than that it cannot
be made successful issue within the Demo
cratic party There is already strong SEN
timent against it in that party; and the new
force which must enter into all political esti-
mates, the organized workingmen, is for the
present of the opinion that free trade will
not promote the interest of labor If the
dogma is forced upon the Democratic party
the party will be defeated"

EALT!

The Democratic ring managers have begun
the unfolding of their schemes to defeat the
will Of the people. Not content with the in
famous frauds and forgeries perpetrated by
scoundrels and thieves in Marion county, and
frauds practiced elsewhere for the purpose of
capturing the Legislature, it is now announced
that they will vitiate the election of Lieu
tenant-governor We say to the desperate
Marian Henderson Coy gang that they may go
too far in tempting the patience of the
people. An indignant popular majority
has rebuked the infamous gerrymander,
a barrcade erected for the defense
Of frauds that could not bear the light of
day. To the Republican party the people of
Indiana have committed the work of over
turning this gerrymander and reforming the
abuses it was devised to shield From
that duty the Republican party will not
shrink, and the ringsters and scoundrels may
as well understand that now as later. All
oluster of Standing by your guns, and
all the appeals to men of nerve, F"
are as sounding brass and tinkhng
cymbals. The people of the State of In
diana are determined that crimes against the
suffrage shall cease, and that the most in
famous frauds and forgeries ever attempted
shall not profit the criminals who perpetrated
them The Democratic ring should know
that there is the spirit and the nerve in the
Republica party to do whatever is legal and
right to carry out the instruction of the people.
Froth and fustian frighten nobody.
The thieves and forgers who committed the
frauds in Marion county will be ferreted out
and punished, if it is within the power of the
law. They and their aiders and abetters
will and must go to the penitentiary. And
no man, in high or low estate, shall profit By
their foul crimes. To this work the Rerub
lican party is committed by its history, and
is commissioned by the voice of the people
expressed on Tuesday last 1t will be well
for the criminals of all classes, di-
rectly or indirectly engaged in these
crimes against the ballot, TO look out
for the engine when the bell rings 1t
makes no difference to what party they be-
long. This is not question of party; it is a
question that reaches to the foundations Of
the government. The men who are com
hitting crimes against free and equal suffrage,
whether Republicans or Democrats, Green
hackers or Nationals, must and shall be pun
ished.

IT is getting to be time honored custom in
a number of States for one branch of the

slider the matter some other year. The cause

cate an access of information on their part,
rather than a continuance in ignorance.

FLOODS IN CAROLINA.

CoIumbia's Water Works and Reser-
voir Obliterated by the Torrent.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., May 22.-On Wednes-
day night the heaviest rain fall for years
occurred here, and was general through
out the State. Streams are swollen to an
extent unknown since the flood of 1872.
Great damage has been done to crops in
river bottoms, and the loss Of live stock
must also be heavy. The flood broke the
check dam at the head Of the Columbia
canal, work on which was in progress,
and the swift current, being intercepted
by a ledge Of rock, shot of against an
immense embankment, cutting 1t away in
several places.
THE WATER WORKS DESTROYED.
On an island about 200 yards from the
ledge and forming part of the embank-
ment were located the city water works
and reservoir, which were obliterated by
the torrent.
Trains on all roads we're blockaded by
washOuts, and on the Columbia and
Greenville road ana its branches several
trains are caught out aud are unable to
go either way on account of trestles being
down. A fine bridge over Broadway
river is said to he down. The trestle on
the east bank of the Congaree river near
here went away this morning and the

not cross till O'clock. The train due
from Charleston at 10 O'Clock this MORN

nication with the up country, the wire
