REPUBLICAN TICKET.

National Ticket. VOR PRESIDENT, ' JAMES. A. O ABFIELT), of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. CHESTER A. ARTHUR, of New York. NEWSPAPER CHANGE. Many of our readers have read with pleasure the -columns of ."Our Ago," an ably edited shoet published by Edwin F. Horn', Esq., ; at Evans ville, Ind.' The editors of the Leader announce to the public that they havo purchased "Our :Age"?good will and all, of Mr. Horn, and have suspended its publication, believing that they can best subserve the interests of their patrons liy concentrating 1 all " their energies on the Leader f i 'J I ' i 4 . Wo take great pleasure also in announcing to our readers that we have secured the services of Mr. Horn as editor of the Evansvillc column of the Leaden On his return to EvansvilloMr. Horn will take' charge of the Leader inTthat city.- ft is 'our' purpose to place 1,000 copies of the Leader in the hands of the good people of Kvansville and -Vanderburgh County during the next six weeks. Evansville Department. - My friends are aware that I have . . t 1 t l i . ; consolidated Our Ago with the Indi ariapolis Leader, and that I shall edit th Evansville end of The Leader. We shall make it red hot. ' 1 1 respect fully ask my friends, who so kindly upheld me while publishing Our Age, to give the same, support to The Leader, which in every respect is a first-class newspaper. I shall bo home in a few days, then stand from under. It is the intention of the publishers of The Leader to place 1,000 copies in Evansville and vicinity andlam sanguine that this will be accomplished. Edwin F. Hohn. France celebrated the anniversary of the Republic on Wednesday. Vive La Kepubliqutf Francaise. 'Republicans are united and enthusiastic everywhere. No- Republican doubts the triumphant' election of Garfield and Arthur.-, Considerable editorial is crowded out this week, also an - interesting "Chicago Letter," and an interesting literary contribution. General Garfield's letter of accept ance printed elsewhere is a masterly statement of the' issues, and meets the general approbation of Republicans. The representative of the Leader returns his sincere thanks to the members of the Reception Committee for the kindly, treatment he received at their kands on the trip to and from Columbus. If such gentlemen are called upon to shape the destiny of the Republican party, its banner will never bo trailed in the dust. A; white mau near Stanford, Ky., violated the person of a colored girl who had been tied up in a barn on the charge of stealing a watch. It is reported that the citizens are some what excited about it.: Excited' is good. If the wrelch had been a Negro, and tho girl white, his neck would have paid the forfieit and not unjustly. Wo only condemn theso Kentucky scamps because they will not punish white brutes who commit outrages upon colored people. L I A few maudlin preachers and sen timentalists ofNew York have been throwing mud at Hon. Frederick Douglass because he refused the use of his name and influenco to secure a commutation of tho death sentence of Chastino Cox, who was executed yes terday, for the murder of Mrs. Hull. Tho murder of this lady by Cox, though probably not premeditated war a most wanton and brutal j affair Mr. Douglass knew, as docs overyono who has heard, the case, that Cox richly merited the punishment ho has received, and he had tho man hood to refuse to join f he maudlin ging who were prating about "the

poor defenseless Negro." It is to be hoped that such villains, whether they be white or black, will ever be friendless and defenseless and of brave old Frederick Douglass,thathis tribe may increase. . . , .

t-L IU.XI DE NOT DECEIVED. Let no one bo deceived by the presattitude of tho Jpcmocratic party. A party is but an aggregation of indiy, iduals, tho general product of whose characteristics and tendencies appears in the party.' The party should be judged as individuals are jndged. If an individual has lead, a. bad life and mingled with corrupt associates he must renounce that life and break off from his corrupt associates before we can have confidence in him as a reformer. Judged by this test, is the Democratic party worthy of confidence? ; - .r r , Figuratively spoaking the Democratic party has lead a very bad life. It fostered, encouraged and defended the great iniquity . of slavery. It sought to extend this Infamous institution throughout the length and breadth of our land; it made slave catchers of the freemen of the North; it defended the auction block and brought upon our Government the contempt and execration of the civilized worlSJlt instituted a giganti6 rebelion whose sole object was the perpetuation of slavery and which cost the country millions of treasure and a half a million of noble lives. Has the Democratic party renounced this record and broken off from the rascal - y, brutal leaders, who thus disgraced their country and wronged humanity? Not at all. Every Democratic orator in the land boasts of the "good old days'' of Democratic 'supremacy and prays for a return of the, same. The old ' leaders who cracked the slave whip before the war and rallied the rebel hosts during the war, and their Northern sympathizers and panderers are still the idolized leaders of the Democracy; Toombs, Hampton, Joe Johnson, Seymour, Bayard, ct omine genus, still claim and receive he homage of the Democratic party. The nomination of General Han cock; the record of wfcjose life is in diametricopposition to the Democratic party, is simply a cowardly trick to catch the, votes of men who would if-!- . . . revolt from the names of, the real leaders. The Democratic party wanta power and there is no humilation to which it will , not bow, no subterfuge to which it will not resort ta secure this end'.' The triumph of the Democratic party, even with General Hancock at its head, means simply the restoration to power of the men who held slaves, and are not ashamed of itj of the men who actively engagea in tne war oi the rebellion, or gave aid and comfort to their country's assailants. The masses of the Northern people are not ready for such a change.1 And between two gallant soldiers, tho one supported by the worst elements of American society, by th enemies of personal liberty and political equality, by the representatives of fraud and violence in tho South; and the other by those who opposed and denounced slavery, by those who followed the varying fortunes of the glorious old flag through every vicissitudenever doubting, never faltering by free men from whose limbs the shackles of bondage have been struck, by the in telligence, the conscience and the virtue of the land between two such men. a patriot can make but one choice. General James A. Garfield is to-day fin representative and standard-bearer of the only party in this country that deserves tho confidence of the people the llepublican party the grand old party of Sumner, Lincoln and Stevens, of emancipation liberty and equality. Newipaper Consolidation. EransTllla Tribune. . Mr. Edwin F. Horn has consolidated Our Age, of this city with The Leader of Indianapolis, and will edit the Evansville end of The Leader, the organ of the Colored people in this State. This will greatly improve The Leader, which is a well conducted weekly. Mr. Horn is not only well educated but a gifted writer, and is very much to the eleration of his race morally and intellectually. Mr. Bagby, owner and editor of The Indianapolis Leader, has purchased "Our Age," an Evansville paper, which will be discontinued hereafter. Its former editor, Edward F. Horn, will edit an Evansville column for The Leader. Mr. Bagby is publishing a paper which is creditable to himself and to the Colored people. Journal . .

HOME. Our Next Governor Escorted To Indianapolis.

Enthusiastic Greeting; Along the L.lne Ovation at IndianapolisEloquent Speech of Hon A. O, Porlrr Note, Incidents. Ktc. At 11 o'clock Wednesday morning tho Committee appointed by'the Yoang Men's R publican Club to escort Hon. A. G. Prot r from Col um bus, Ohio, to Indianapolis, left for their destination in special car provided by the courtesy of the PanHandle route. The Committee which included most (?) of the "leading" Republicans, with the exception of the attaches of the News, consisted of the following gentlemen: Caleb S. Denny, Rosco O. Hawkins, Moses G. McLain, George F. Branhan, James L. Fletcher, Oliver T. Boaz, F. A. Field, J. C Adams and Granville S. Wright. By invitation Mr. Will E. Camback, a "leading" Republican of Greensburg, accompanied the party. Soon after leaving Indianapolis a general and spirited discussion of "the issues before us" was entered into enthusiastically by all. It may be remembered here that the gentlemen coinpoping the party were congenial spirits, and mixed freely together, so that it cannot be said that there was any aristocratic tendency. ' The announcement of our arrival at Richmond interrupted the discussion of "the issues" for a time. Here we found a sumptuous luncheon of spring chicken fricaseed, and all the delicacies Including milk and raspberry pie, of which the same your reporter partook modestly. At Richmond the party was reinforced by the following "leading" Republicans of that city, namely: General Tom Bennett, Mayor of Richmond; Hon. Iaac C. Jenkins, of the Palladium; Hon Wm. A. Peele, Hon. John Yorgan, and Hon. H. C. Fox. A pleasant trip through a delightful country, dotted with pleasant villages brought as to the prosperous village of Columbus. At Richmond, I should have remarked, a partv boarded the train who represented himself as being a "running correspondent" of the Cincinnati Enqurer. He mixed freely very freely with the company, and received eveiy attention possible. It mav not be doing injustice to any one to say that the attention bestowed upon this pseudo correspondent by Gen. Oliver T. Boaz was very marked indeed. He took lengthy notes of General Boaz's views of the different phases of the campaign, and eagerly besought your reporter for some striking incident in the life of General Boaz, whom he considered the most remarkable man he had ever met Indeed each member of the committee was pressed to give a short biography. Hons. Justus C. Adams and Granville S. Wright told of their Quaker origin and the guileless boyhood spent in Western Indiana. Hon. Geo. F. Branham Telated incidents of his childhood 'mid the beauties of "God's country" the Paradise of Indiana, beautiful Madison nnder-the-hill. Hons. J. L. Fletcher and Will Cumback gave thrilling accounts of their trips around the world of hair-breadth escapes, etc. R O. Hawins mentioned with pride his Buckeye origin, and modestly gave many interesting incidents in the life of a Buckeye boy who has made his way to a leading " place among Indiana Republicans. Hons. McLean, Denny, Capt. Fields and your diffident reporter spoke modestlv of their services to their country in the fate "onpleasantness," of which McLean's empty sleeve Kave a sad reminder. Gen. Tom Bennett of Richmond finally undertook the task of converting the Enquirer man from the evil ways of Democracy, and after a half hour's incessant labor the Enq. m. was heard to cry out in the agony of despair, I am a Republican!" To us, who witnessed this scene in subdued silence, the thought of the "chawing up" which the Enq. m. would give the daring General was terrifying indeed. Your reporter dillated extensively upon the origin and progress of The Leader, from its humble beginning to its present commanding position, only stopping now and then to answer some question regarding the redoubtable Gen. Boaz (the Enq. ta. would have it General and we leave it to our fellow citizen to tell the public on what fiel(3s of gore he won his stars.) At a liftle station a few miles west of Columbus we sadly parted with our Enq. m., who stopped off to notify the Enquirer to reserve space for his mammoth letter. Right here by way of parenthesis I may remark that the next morning when each man bought a dozen copies of the Enquirer, the Leaf er representative taking fifty to di8tribito as an advertisement of the Leader.it would not have been safe for that Chicago drummer and sharper, otaerwise known as the e. q. m., o have appeared upon me scene, jöui ior me presence of the Leader man these biographical notes would never have seen the light. The remainder of the trip to Columbus was without noteworthy incident. On our arrival at Columbus we proceeded immediately to the Neil House. After partaking of refreshments the Hon. Albert O. Porter, who had arrived in the morning, informally received the delegatien and prominent citizens in his parlors. Among the callers were Attorney General Nash, Chairman of the State Central Committee, General Donaldson, secretary. General Gibson, the courteous representatives of the Cincinnati Commercial, New York Times, and others. 1 hose not acquainted with Mr. Porter were introduced and an hour was pleasantly spent in a general discussion of the issues of the campaign and Republican prospects. Just before the hour arranged by the citizens for a serenade to Mr. Porter, a severe rain storm came up which made the serenade an impossibility. Mr. Porter retired early, as aid also the committee, with a few exceptions. One of the most pleasant incidents of the trip was an informal reception held in the parlors of Messrs. J. L. Fletcher and Will E. Cumback. The gentlemen all appeared in full evening dress and a most excellent time was the result- The ceremonies wound up with an impromptu serenade to General Tom Bennett, and editor Jenkinson, of the Palladium. The latter closed his speech in these eloquent words: "My fellow citizens, go to, now; get you hence; depart; fly to a foreign land, and to your wings add speed." Hasty partings followed and sweet Mor. ?heus was courted, by some in vain, and A. x. found us surrounding Indiana's favorite son on board a handsomely decora

ted coach speeding our way to the Hoosier capital. At many of the Ohio stations Mr. Porter was greeted by the people and made short speeches. At Richmond an immense crowd were in waiting. Enthusiastic cheers rent the air. Eloquent speeches were made by Mr. Porter, General Tom Brown and othes. The thoughtful Richmond Republicans had prepared a splendid repast at the Hotel, of which the Indianapolis party partook with zest. After a two hursrest during which time the' low motive and tender. were beautifully decorated, we founJ ourselves again on the road. At every station along the road, cr wda of people were assemebled anxious to catch a glimpse of Indiana's next governor. At some stations Mr. Porter made eloquent speeches, at others when time did not allow a speech he engaged in a general handshaking. About 4 o'lock the car moved into the city of Indianapolis amid the joyou aclaim of the thousands of Bepulicans assembled from all parts of the state. Carriages were provided for the candidate, the reception committee and distinguished citizens, a procession was formed and the principal streets paraded, bringing up finally at the Grand Hotel where after briefly addressing the crowd the procession was disbanded, and ilr. Porter retired for refreshments and repose. At 6 o'clock Mr. Porter was received in a magnificant manner at his residence on North Tennesseee street by his old friends and neighbors. At 8:Ä the procession to escort Mr. Portf r to the Wigwam formed the Irish Kepub lican club at its head followed by various organizations of Indianapolis and visiting delegations. Crowds thronged the streets, and a gorgeous display of fireworks enlivened the occasion. ARRIVAL AT THE GRAND STAND. General Harrison being introduced by Mr. Caleb S. Denny made the welcoming speech which was greeted with great enthusiasm, the General closed by presenting Mt. Porter to the crowd. He received a perfect ovation, and when quiet was restored he proceeded to the delivery of a speech that will be read and re-read during the entire campaign, as one of the ablest presentations of the issues ever on record. An immense crowd assembled in the Wigwam and was addressed by Hon. A. L. Morrison, of Chicago. At the close of Mr. Porters remarks General A. D. Streight made a forcible ppeech which was loudly applauded by the crowd. Eloquent speeches were made by other gentlemen, and at a late hour the crowd dispersed and thus ended one of the grandest days Indianapolis ever witnessed.

The Leader Thinks That the young Republicans are wiser than their daddies. That Porter will be the State beverage for the next four years. That a certain Councilman ought to be muzzled for his own sake. That the women are all satisfied with the verdict in Mrs. Brown's trial. That the colored people are showing their appreciation of a good paper. That William H. English will not be Arthurized to stop at Washington for four years. i That the Sentinel will not speak of the "nisrger paupers" any more till after the fall election. That the Democratic County Convention to-day will furnish more flesh for the slaughter pen. That if Garfield Clubs will elect him, he is sure of the election, and they will surely do it. That the fellow who said he would not advertise in the Leader because it was a "nigger pauper," has gone into bankruptcy. Editorial Chaff. The first colored Supreme Court juror in Georgia, served at Atlanta, Wednesday. Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, has been named as the successor of Albert G. Porter, Comptroller of the Treasury. "My dog A. Lincoln" is the inscription which Hon. D. W. Voorhees wanted put on a collar a few years ago for General Hancock. The Vermont folks are all torn up over the census returns. The falling off is so great that it is probable the State will lose one Congressman. The only way in which Greece and Turkey can settle their differences is to fight it out, and they are rolling up their sleeves for the battle. A great deal of discussion is going on over Hancock's religious inclinations. It won't make much difference to the coun try after the November election whether he is a Mohammedan. Unitarian or Hard Shell Baptist, he will never issue any bulls from the White House. If the Democrats of Marion County nominate Dan Lemon for Sheriff to-day, then there will be one more lemon to squeeze next October, and no one can more effectually do that business than an old experienced man called AdamsJ. He is a regular "masher" of Democrats. A Democratic Governor of the Republican State of Indiana, allows a colored man to serve out a term in the penitentiary for no other crime than marrying the woman he loved; and then the Democratic party solicits the colored vote in every campaign. Consistency, thou art a jewel! Cheek, thou art extremely brassy. Peru News. Mrs. Mattie E. Dunged, of Logansport, was in the city last week visiting relatives. The fim barbershop of A. R Moss at Logansport, will be moved to this city shortly. Peru has a Literary George W. Jackson, chairman; David Lewis, secretary; and Mrs. Solomon Nikols, treasurer. If tho Democratic candidate for the Presidency goes to Washington with his "rooster" clutched in his metacarpal bones, no decent lady will enter the White House. Will they, Pedro? Lambden P. Milligan, Voorhees' bosom friend and associate during the late "unpleasantness," his counsellor and abetter while opposing Hancock and his troop, was in this city all of last week.. Henry Slaughter, a colored man in this city, was made drunk by the hoodlum Democracy . and persuaded tn tnin tha Hancock and English clob. Show me a iegro democrat, ana I will show you a drunken sot an imbecile, an idiotic and an untutored "cuss, Voltaire.
