THE SAME OLD METHODS
Being Resorted to in Indiana to
Defeat Harrison,
BUT THE GREAT PROCESSION
Keeps Moving Along in Spite of the
Paid Agents of the Free Traders,
who are Circulating Lies.
Republican Tidal Wave.

INDIANAPOLIS, ND, July 22.-Tht
Democratic managers are exceedingly
busy endeavoring to stem the tide tha
has turned in favor Of Harrison in thil
State. They have adopted the plan o
circulating their lies by paid agents, who
travel about from place TO place, rather
than by publication in the eparty organs
II published they can be publicly re-
futed. II told privately they are hard tc
chase down.
These paid agents go about the State
talk on railroad trains, in the hotels
workshops and bar-rooms. The lies with
which they are loaded are generally in
tended to influence the workingmen
and they are OF all colors, shapes and di'
mensions. Nothing is ever given as q
reason why the workingmen should vote
for Cleveland, the whole object being
to keep them from turning to Harrison.
The old lies OF 10, reinforced by those
OF 80 and 'S6, are revarnished and re-
told, and many new ones added, but all
after the same pattern, but oil they can
do can not stop the procession. In look
ing over the rosters OF the Lincoln
League Clubs many entries can be found
OF men who have hitherto been Demo-
Gratis, but are now actively working for
Harrison and Morton.

members OF clubs, for many are not will
ing to identify themselves with the Re
publican party, but are Harrison men
because OF the Free Trade attitude OF
their own party, or because OF their per
sonal admiration for the General. The
entire history OF the Democratic press OF
this State shows that it never hesitated
to retail any lie or scandal that it was
believed would gain a vote for the party.
There have been and are now individual
editors who would not stoop to this
method Of warfare, but they are the ex-
ceptions.
This year the State Committee goes
beyond the party press in the extentand
righteousness OF its lying. In this, us
usual with those who resort to such
methods, they are overstocking the mar
ket, and the result is not commensurate
with the hopes OF the schemers.
Republican workingmen go on day at-
ter day shouting for Harrison and day
after day they are joined by Democrats.
who shout just as Justify and earnestly
for the representatives Of protection to
American labor. The old soldiers are
rallying under the same banner, while
many who wandered away from the fold
and into the ranks OF third-partyism, are
coming back, assured that the only hope
for American homes lies in the triumph
of Republicanism.
Those who know the strength of Gem
eral Harrison in this State, expected
something OF popular uprising in his
fnvor, but even they were not prepared
for the cyclone ofenthusiasm with which
his nomination has been received. The
enthusiasm grows instead OF diminishing.
The enthusiasm does not find an out
let alone in making noise, but every
Republican is at work in earnest to in
crease the vote, aud checkmate all the
efforts OF the enemy. The party organi-
zation is in most perfect working order,
all under one direction. If1ndiana does
not give a good account Of herself next
November it will be one OF the strangest
anomalies ever known in politics.
