THE CAMPAIGN.

An Enthusiastic Meeting on the West Side Addressed by Senator Bruce and Governor . Pinchbaok. floating Meeting t the ..Vermoat Stret A. M.' E. Charen Last Mond ax .V 1Kb t. Indianapolis Journal. , . The meeting held at the ' VermoV-Street A. 31. E. Church last Monday night was a large and enthusiastic tone, the colored Republicans turning out gloriously,, in spite of the unpropitious weather. . The meeting was called to order by Hon. J. S. Hinton; and organized with Prof. R. B. Bagby as chairman. Mr. Bagby said he esteemed it no small honor to bb called to preside where two such eminent representatires of the colored race as Senator B. K. Bruce, of Mississippi, and ex-Qevernor P. B S. . Pinch back, of Louisiana, were to .speak. He thought that when he saw these two . men, great and honored representatives of the Republican party, that the predjudicos against his race were dying out, and yet he had only to go across the southern border to Kentucky, to find these pred; imostas flourishing a condition Louisville, juaices in almost as nourishing as before the war. He then introduced Senator . Bruce, who briefly reviewed the Democratic party and its enmity to the colored man. It was the party, which had questioned the right of the government to defend itself; had questioned the right of the government to mantain a completed Union, and questioned the right of the colored man to the habiliments of citizenship. He then reviewed the infamous black laws of the South the vagrant- law, the apprentice law, and the contract system, all or which had been devised immediately after the war, to make liberty a sham and a mockery, better only in name than slavery. He showed up the contract system and the judicial system of the South, the latter mak1 1.. i.- 1 .Aing me courts 01 justice merely instruments Theelaws, foul blots even upon the record nÄ&'M'fi colored man has not prospered in the South is because he has not beervouchsafed true lihprtv. HhBoiW iJnSmSrf TnZ contented, one must be protected. To acquire property, one must be permitted to 2njoy thefruits of their own llbor. It had never entered into the mind of the Democratic party to make laws for ' the five millions of blacks of the South. The Democratic party asked the voter to forget the record of the party and look only at the promises of the candidate. That we can not do. We know that under our form of government a personal government is impossible. The party controls its candidate, and Hancock would reflect the temptr and will and wish of the Democratic party. An honorable man having accepted that party's nomination could not do otherwise. The colored man is assured that the amendments to constitution are sacred. , It is just before the election that the Democracv h Aram ft nliMt.

sure thattheywillbeassafeintheir hand. as in the hands of the Republican party Republican party but we think not; and they will not be entirely safe until we kill the Democratic party the party that opposed emancipation, opposed the enlistment of colored soldiers, opposed the enfranchisement of the colored man, and opposed and is still opposing everything that is for the good of the colored man. Prof. J. William Pope, of Pennsylvania, then sung Our Flag" and "Sammy Tilden'a Lament," receiving the warmest applause, lion. P. B. S. Pinchback then spoke. He said that all over the North people of both parties were now meeting and freely dis cussing the merits or candidates and parties. In the South it was not so. There no discussion was tolerated. There was but one kind of meetings, and they were not Bepub1? rr:V,.rri:r:rr. uu.u. F.v.j. . oi 1 reo epeeuu um uwu sat asiue in. oiövüu i speech Stateof this Union, and it may not be Ion before it is set aside in all the States, Nort as well as South. The colored people of the South are asked why they do not assert their rights and protect themselves, if they have the majority , as they claim to have. The people who ask this torget that it took the powerful North more than four years to put that people down, and now they expect a nation newly born to do it The Democratic party U in power in the South, and where that party is in power you find ostracism, wrong and outrage committed on the colored man. AVhy you've only got to go aa far South as Louisville to find it. But it may be, with four years more of Republican rulo, we can even go to LouigvUle. . The Republican party is the ark of safety of the colored The First Ward Glee Club, "Griffin's Quintette,'' then suns', and the meeting ad journed. At the close of the meeting an 1 i :ii.U L . It. J!. lniormai reception was neia vj me uistinguished speakers, who were introduced and shook hands with a large number of the audience. - '' ConamanlcAted. To the Editor of The Leader. Any one that missed hearing Senator B. K. Bruce's speech last Monday evening, at Vermont street church, missed a grand treat. I think it was as fine an effort aa ever I heard. It was worthy of an audience of five thousand people. , Mr. Bruce abused no one, but compared the records of the two great parties, and showed clearly the difference between them and gave you your choice, lie, in a very masterly way showed the soundness of idea of the Republican party on all the past legislation, the reconstruction of the South after the war, and on all financial questions. And on the other hand he showed the unfitness of the Democratic party as legislators on important questions. Ana none especially as legislators on quesof equallity before the law, and on a tion sound nnanciai syBiem iorine iroou OI tne wholecountrv. fie also showed th naoi. . Ä a. . A m . m ment of laws by the Democratic legislators of the South to the interest of the white man, ane the determent of the black man, the partial fiendish and hellish black laws for a selfish purpose. On the other hand he clearly illustrated the laws made by the Republicans to make every man equal before the law. There certainly can be one ad mirable thins: said about Mr. Bruce bv all who sav and heard him, and that is that he is a wortny criterion of what our rac sfcould be, an example after which we should ltrive wnuw. ub in me say us mucn w our ' ' ""w wouK.aw Ufig VUVUU

race pride. For as a common.- thing, when one of us rises a little above the commin average.thereis not enough support and encouragement given by us the man .that is aspiring. We do not consider that his elevatian is our promotion,' and that his degradation is our ever-lasting condemnation. We do not seem to take due consideration of the unkind innendoes of which we conld not vouchsafe for their veracity. 2fow, I do not believe in becoming clanish, for I believe that everybody soould bocome Americaized. Yet I think that we should

hold in proper regard ( a certain amount of race pride, and when a didingushed man of our- race conies among us, let uq all go and expand hear him, if possible, and get as many of other races to go as you can. By doing this y ou frill show a due appreciation of your race.and assert in breaking down the faacious idea that we are not as susceptible o knowledge as any other race on the faca of the earth.

the country as a man of unimpeachable integrity, and besides, business men have confidence in the soundness of his financial views. Mr. Landers, on the other hand, is known aa a representative of all the worst vagaries of the soft money theorists. At the same time, however, he has made himself very obnozius to Oreenbackers generally by his contemptuous treatmeut of them some years ago.

vioo oouNxr. To The Colored Voters of Tlsro County. In the approaching October electioa you occupy a peculiarly promi nent and highly responsible position as electors. For four years the State of Indiana has been misgoverned and disgraced in the eyes of strangers "by an ignorant clique of rebel sympathizers, at the head of whom stands - a pair of old blue pantaloons. For six years your own county of. Vigo has beca cheated, robbed and disgraced by a section of this same rebel sym pathizing Democracy, whoso chief aelight has been to denounce our people as "pauper Niggers," The time approaches rapidly now when you can not only redeem your own county from Democratic misgovernment, but can very materially assist in the redemption of the whole State from Copperhead - Democratic Mdisr grace, it is ot tnis lwisn to, speaJt to you. In the recent elections ' in Vigo oounty the honest voters, irrespect ive of party, have manifested a strong uwpuwuuu w gew rm vi tue vtuupires ho leen making a corrupt livinff by the misappropriation and illej ; a- i x t ; gal use of the public funds' öf .'the county. Many ot you are tax-payers, and all good citizens, and are therefore interested to the same ex tent as all other tax-payers and good citizens, in . securing good govern ment to the county through a mst administration ct US anairs, ana an honest appropriation of its taxes. mi u i.

Many Democratic voters, as you are aware oy recent elections, tothe same conclusion; and t, 11 1 1.1 1 the best elements of Vigo county voters in placing the county in the hands oi good men. TheKepublican ticket is a good one throughout. Every man on it is worthy ot your sup port. Uaptam bmitn, the candidate lor Clerk; Jackson Stepp, for Sheriff; Air. liay, for Treasurer; and .Messrs. Bichowski, Melrath, Morgan, Langhead and Harris are all honest men and worthy of our support. If elect ed, the county affairs will be honestly I j' A i i , - .11 v . "l uauiiuisteiva unu tuere wm .ue no misappropriation of funds. One thing more remains to be spoken of. Kev. Hardin Anderson has been placed on. the .National ticket, not with any hope of his election, but simply to weaken the Republican ticket., ßight here is where the Democrats and. Nationals hope to divide the colored vote and elect the Democratic camdidates. Let1 every colored voter remember that Kev. Hardin Anderson is a man .who trades on his politics. It is a wellknown fact that he claims to have made considerable money out of his political canvassinff in recent years This is his business, however, and if he can reconcile it with his calling as a preacher, let him SO ahead; but I 1 j ti uA at,Äij i don t think he should expect to have l r it i i . , any iouowing among ine coiorea votI era of V igo county, It IS important J that Vigo county should go llepub lican and that Indiana and the Nation should do likewise To that end let the colored voters of Vib county close up their ranks, and let us cast a solid vote for the .Republican county, btate and .National ticket.

F. B. S. Pinchback Notwithstanding the rain, Bethel A. M. E, Church was crowded to its utmost capacity by an enthusiastic audience. The re ception after the speaking was a most aerreeable affair. The distinguished gentle men took a convenient position and Hon J. S. Hinton and Mr. R. B. Bagby intraduced them to the people. . An hour and a half was spent by the gentlemen in friendly intercourse with the people. The meeting of which we copy a very brief report from the daily Journal, was one of the best ever held in the city. The people love to meet their representative . men and interchange 1 "vu .v.
