THE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA

In the campaign of 1886, ‘he “off year” in polities, the Republican party managed to elect their candidates for State officials, and came near having a majority in the Legislature This success has greatly emboldened the leaders of the party and they are counting upon avicto yin 1888 not an easy victo’y, but a victory after a hard fought battle. Let it be understood distinctly that the Republican leaders believe in close, thorough organization. They believe in counting noses—in organizing from precinct to State. They believe in using money—they manage to obtain it. They believe in lying — compact organization enables them to give a lie quick and wide circulation. In the manufacture of partisan lies the Republican party leaders have had no equals. In this regard the campaign of 1888 is to be like that of 1886, if possible more infamous.

In 1886 the Republican leaders attacked the State Treasury and the State Treasurer. Every charge was a he; every intimation was a lie. Republican press and speakers rep ated tbe lies. They knew they were lying. But the lies, though contradicted, found lodgment in the minds of many Democrats, who either voted for Republicans or remained away from t'..o po Is. When Hon. John J. Cooper’s term expired, then it was seen that the Republican press and leaders had studiously and persistently and maliciously lied; that they had secured votes by slander, defamation of character, and Democrats throughout the State are now satisfied that Republican gains were secured by lying about the safety of the State’s funds in the hands of a Democratic officer.

Again, the Republican leaders deliberately and maliciously concocted the most infamous lies relating to the management of the Insane Asylum. This gieat benevolent institution had never been managed more economically since it was built. Never in its history had the average of cures been higher, nor had the inmates received kinder attention. Even the malignant creature, Foulk, was willing, in the face of his monstrous exaggerations, to keep a fee--ble-minded old uncle in a place which nis vulgar mendacity, for partisan purposes, portrayed in colors suitable for a brothel. But the lies went forth on their mission, and like those circulated against the State Treasurer, had their effect and won some votes for the Republican party. Democrats in numerous instances believed the lies and either voted for the Republican candidates or remained away from the polls. We unhesitatingly aver that the lies circulated against the State Treasurer and the Insane Asylum were potent factors in securing the victory of the Republican party in Indiana in 1886. It is not to be presumed that the Democrats of Indiana can be caught again by Republican lies, Republican slanders, and the fact will lose them thousands of votes which they secured in 1886. But it must be understood that during the campaign of 1888 the Republican leaders will seek to impress upon the public mind that Robertson was legally elected Lieutenant Governor, m defiance of the letter and spirit l of the Constitution of the State, and the fact that Robertson was not permitted to trample upon the Constitution will be the prolific womb from which will go forth a ceaseless stream of lies c uring the campaign. To meet and defeat by an overwhelming majority such schemes all that is required is for the Democratic party of Indiana to organize; to organize in every precinct, township, ward and county, in every city, town and village, and victory is certain, is cofessedly a Democratic State, p nd in 1888 there will be no anti-Cleve-land sentiment in the Democratic ranks to help on a Republican victory. United and harmoniou s presenting a solid front to the ene_

my, the Demecret.c party of Indiana will prove invincible and triumphant.—lndianapolis Sentinel.

INDIANA.

[Kansas City Times. | “ Jnce upon a time,” as the story goes, two Irishr en were taking a sail in a dda|.iduted boat when a squall struck the outfit, “On your knees and prav, Jemmy!” yelled Mike. “Shure Oi can’t,” replied Jemmy, “but Oi’l thry,” and dropping he said: “Mosht marciful—” Here the gale subsided as quickly as it had risen and Mike shouted:

“Schtop your dommed prayin’ an’ hilp bail or we’ll lose the shep!” A very similar spirit to that of Michael is now being manifested by that truly excellent citizen and patriot without variableness or shadow of turning, General John C. New, of the Indianapolis Journal. His weather eye, however, is afflicted with strabismus and his judgment sadly warped when he concludes the late blizzard which struck the Republican craft was but a passing z phyr, when in fact it is only gathering impetus for a final outburst a year hence. But with Hoosier pluck Mr. New proposes to keep the colors flying and go down defiantly, thereby presenting a strong contrast to his fellow editors, who are dolefully repeating the lan ent of Maud Mulin’* that “it might have been.” From this date until the ides of November, therefore, Gener’l John will devote his time and talents (in ’BO the latter were generally in the shape of $2 notes) to the task of saving “the shep” in Indiana, and actually bases his hopes upon the sandy foundation that it is a Republican State. Let us see: In ’72 theJDemocrats elected as Gevernor Thomas A. Hendricks, iu ’76 “Blue Jeans” Williams and in. ’B4 Isaac P Gray, while the Republicans only carried the State in the October election of ’BO, seating Albert G. Porter, after the most notoriously venal campaign known in the history of the country. The largest corruption fund ever raised was that year poured into the coffers of the Indiana Central Committee, of which General John was chairman. Would-be officeholders, headed by at least four capitalists, who had been severally promised the position of Secretary of the Treasury, gave without stint; the departments, at the dictation of Jay Hubbell, of Michigan, were bled profusely;the star routers, under the lead of General Tom Brady, added their thousands, andjevery employe of a desperate administration was forced to contribute his or her mite. The immense amount thus obtained was disbursed under the supervision of the notorious Dorsey, who w«s selected by the National Committee to see that the funds were placed where they would do the most good, and not fobbed, as had been the c heerful Republican custom in the State before. The result was a so-called victory, which uddoubtedly gave the election to Garfield and Arthur the next month.

Now this same Porter, who is a combination of Pecksniff and Uriah Heep, is to be placed in nomination again, and it is but fair to presume that an effort will be made to repeat the tactics of eight years ago. B.t there are several cogent reasons why a repetition is not within the limits of possibility.— Primarily, the sin 'ws ot war will be lacking. Millionaires, though ready to pay for political preferment, will not “come down” to help a party that is beaten when the nominations shall have been made. The departments are mainly filled with good Democrats who will mock at the cries of “My Dear Hubbell,” r nd under a Democratic administration there are no starroufers plunging their arms elbewdeep inte the public treasury while .Dorsey has sought refuge among the cacti and coyottes of Naw Mex
