Democrats Be on Your Guard.

The Democrats of Indiana should know that .there is positive evidence that negroes are now being brought into this State in Large numbers, for the purpose of voting this fall who will not he entitled to vote for the reason that they will not have been in the State six months before the election as required by law, and tho constitution. But the Republicans intend to vote them without regard to law or constitution, and to that end they are now being colonized in precincts where the election hoard and officers of the law are Republicans. So great is the desperation of the Republican leaders, in view of their approachine doom, thatit is believed in some localities they will pay no regard to Democratic challenges of illegal voters, and will even refuse te issue or execute warrants for the arrest of offenders or will neglect to do so until it is too late to prevent tne mischief of illegal voting. If this should be the case in any locality it will be the duty of the Democrats and friends oj fair play and lawful elections to exercise the God-given right of freemen. Let them show their manhood. Let them siuno that they know their rights and knowing dare maintain them. We say to you then spot every illegal voter, exercise every lawful means to keep him from voting, and keep him from voting. Organize for that purpose and stand together as one man in defense of vour rights and the faithful execution of the law.
