'ATCH, to-day, 'it is about time for him to
eyise his opinion, in view of the Southern
En.es elections. While there is no doubt
b at enormous frauds were committed in
it.orgia and Florida, as there was in Ala
5ma and Arkansas, there is nothing sur
Using in that. The South has been kept
n'lid BY fraud for long years, and will be
rvears to come, until there occur a sue
ssful splitting up among the Democrats

Everything Depending on New York.
Indiana will be useless without New
