Mr. W. W. Bagby has taken charge of the iubecnption books of The Leader. He wishes to assure the patrons of The Leader, both in the city and elsewhere, that he will make it a special point to see that every paper is delivered with unfailing regularity and promptness. With the additional force we hall be able to give prompt attention to correspondence and communications, and in nany ways to improve The Leader. Mr. Bagby is now revising the lists, and all persona in arrears are requested to renew at once, if they wish their papers continued. CITY NEWS. .To Affents. During the coming week we wish aerent to settle up with us. We ne every need the money to defray the expenses of the paper and we trust our friends will not withold it from us any longer. Let us be understood. We wish every person to whom we send papers to settle in full during the coming week. If the amount is only ten cents send it to us at our expense. We shall be compelled to decline to send papers in future to agents who do not settle promptly. We do not make these suggestions because we distrust our agents, for we do not, but simply because we have made it a rule to pay our bills weekly and we need this money to use in that way. Let no agent fail to communicate with us immediately. Louis Eichrodt, druggist, 99 Indiana avenue. Sam Herron has a pretty badly sprained leg the result of a severe fall. Cheap overalls and work shirts at Bagby's 30 Indiana Ave. The Garfield hat seems to be all the rage; quite overshadows the tiles of the Jefferson Club. You will save money by purchasing your boots and shoes at the Bates House Shoe btore, No. 5 West Washington street. Poor Luther! He went to making Dem. ocratic speeches, and now he languishes in the stone yard. Mr Knot of Greenfield, Indiana, was seen rejoicing in Indianapolis Friday, good for Greenfield. Mr. John Fields and Lady, of Atwood, Illinois were in the city yesterday, and gave the Leader office a call come again. William Bell, the cigar man at No. 62 West Market street, keeps none but the best quality of goods, which he proposes to sell at the very lowest cash prices. Mr. Graham Duel, of Springfield, Ohio, is in our city and is doing good work for the Republican party in Indiana. Go on with the good work brother Duel. The notorious Corriager,one of "Modoc's" gang, and the one "who it is claimed shot Officer Richards on Fall Creek, was run in by the police last night. We are again placed under obligations to our able and esteemed contemporary for the very complete account of yesterday's grand parade, which will be found on our first page. The citizens are respectfully requested to abstain from the use of all intoxicating drinks next Tuesday. Drink nothing but Porter. It is honest goods and not a dangerous beverage. The Bates House shoe store is closing out an excellent line of ladies' shoes at less than cost. Colored voters don't be bulldozed or intimidated by Democratic roughs on election day. Go to the polls and deposit your ballots; and if any one tries to prevent you xrom doing so well you know what to do. Fine white and colored shirts at Bagby's, 20 Indiana Ave. Coroner Wishard was engaged Thursday inquesting the killing of George Royer and Lewis Doerr by the cars at the crossing of the Peru track and Massachusetss avenue. The inquest was adjourned until Saturday. A. Cahill, employed on the architectural work of the State House, was relieved of a suit of clothes and other valuables by a sneak thief, who entered his room, at the corner of New Jersey and Vermont streets, Thursday. ; ' Mr. Samuel Spencer has returned from a very pleasant trip to Louisville. While there he met our old townsman, Al Christy. Of course, Al showed him the town, especially that part where the best looking ladies resided. Hence Samuel's good opinion of Louisville.

It is claimed that the roughs in certain words of the city are making their boasts the colored voters will have trouble if they attempt to cast their ballots next Tuesday. Colored men as well as all decent white men want a I peaceful election; but if any hoodlum" attempts to prevent any voter, black or white, from exercising his right

next Tuesday, we predict that somebody will do the State a service and. save the expense of a hanging. Ladies' and genttemen'i hosiery, it Bagby's, 30 Indiana Ave. J G. A. U. S. H. of Irial Lodge No. 11, meets every first and third Tuesday of each month, at 136 West Washington street. John Walters, V. P. D. CM. C.Willis, Sec. . E. Waft, the leader of the Chinese in this city, left Thursday for China, in company with Box Sins, who goes to marry. K. Wan has been in America a little over three years, but in that time lias achieved a command of the languge that is very creditable to him. The 27th of this month is the time set for the hanging of Joseph Wade, and Mary Brown, for the murder of the latter's husband. Mrs. Brown's case will be taken to the Supreme Court, but Joseph can only hope for the leniency of Uncle Jimmy. As the time draws near, both of the prisoners show unmistakable signs of weakening. Father Bessonies visits them dailv. Young ladies, if you wüh to "buy kid shoes of any style, or, young man, if you want a good serviceable boot or shoe, go to the Bates House shoe store, No. 5 West Washington street, under the Bates House. The latest tack the Democrats have taken is to have imported shoulder hitters stationed at the polls in wards where the colored vote s not very strong and by means of threats of violence prevent them from voting. We warn those strikers to have a care or the Democratic Central Committee will be saved the expense of your passage back to the East. Every colored man should make it his bounden duty to see that the lion. J. S. Hinton is elected to the Legislature by an overwhelming majority. Our white friendrf should lay aside their prejudices and see to it that Mr. Hinton does not fall behind on account of his color. Mr. Hinton is the only colored man on the ticket and his defeat would be a calamity to the party. A load of hay standing on the scales in the alley on the east side of the street-car-stables was discovered to be on fire Wednesday afternoon. As soon as the owner, W. I. Bailey, who was on top of the load, was advised of the fact, he, at great peril to himself, drove the burning hay one square north through the alley to the middle of Georgia street, where he jumped from his uncomfortable position, thus preventing the stables from catching fire. An alarm was turned in, and the tire put out before the hay was entirely consumed. Superintendent Johnson paid for the load, and thanked Mr. Bailey for saving the stables. .Sparks from a passing engine are supposed to have set fire to the hay. Ladies out shopping should not fail to visit the popular dry goods store A. Dickson, 26 and 28 West Washington street. Their prices are decidedly the lowest in the city,' their stock the largest; and all customers get courteous treatment. It is the place to shop and save money. On the 27th day of October, less than three weeks from now, the Sheriff of Marion County, in the discharge of his exceedingly unpleasant duty, will again become executioner, and Joseph "V ade and Mrs. Brown will depart from the land of the living at the end of a rope. Every effort has been made by the two convicts to prolong their lease of life. Mrs. Brown will have a rehearing in the Supreme Court, but Wade has abandoned all hope. The two have been visited almost daily by Father Bwssonies for some time past, and recently . it is noticed they have lost the careless and indifferent man-

ner wnicn nas cnarncienzea tnem since their conviction, arid appear to have some realization of their terrible situation. One of the most distressing and terribly fatal accidents that has taken place in this city fora longtime occurred Wednesday after noon near the Massachusetts avenue depot. It appears that the victims, Geo. W. Royer, engineer, and Lewis Doerr, a brakeman c:i the Bee Line Road, had just left their train and were standing on the tracks, leaning against the end of a freight car conversing, when an I., D. and S. engine, in making a "cut," struck the car and backed it over them, instantly killing Royer and mangling Doerr in a terrible manner. Doerr was conveyed to his home in the neighborhood of where the accident occurred, but survived for only two hours. The remains of Rover were taken to his residence, No. 551 Archer avenue. Both men were married, and have families, and at the homes of each the scenes were heartrending, when the mangled, lifeless remains were viewed by their grief-stricken relatives. Royer held an accident policy for $3,000.' C. C. Jacobs, 78 Folsom street, Buffalo, an employe of the U. S. Express Co., says: Dri Thomas' Eclectric Oil cured him of a severe case of Piles of eight years standing, he had tried almost every known remedy, "besides two Buffalo physicians'' without relief, but the Oil cured him, he thinks it can not be reccommended too highly.

' Anderson Stanard, of Michigan City, was drowned last Thursday night in Lake Michigan. The night was a dark and starry one, and a barge having broken its moorings, a tug was sent out to secure it. Stanard was on the tug and from some cause fell overboard. Every effort was made to rescue him, but owing to the darkness of the night and the high sea all efforts were unavailing. Mr. Stanard leaves a young wife, a member of one of the oldest and most respected families ol La Porte. He Lad been married less than a yeir. A Fact.

WILBEREORCK FOR GARFIELD. After our main communication was closed President Lee announced that there would be no recitations this afternoon, and those wishing to attend the rally in Xenia could do so. We have said nothing about a Garfield Club, for we stand solid, with President Lee at the front. We believe that Republicanism bears the same relation to the Negro's political welfare that Christianity bears to the religious welfare of humanity. So we say, "Hurrah I -r Oarfleld

CINCINNATI DEPABTMENTi

Fred Anderson, Horace Pearoe, Cbas. Blackburn, Fremont Anderson and Henry Forte, were out calling tn the strangers last Sunday afternoon. A young lady living on Linn street, not a hundred miles from Wade is considered the Belle of the Queen City. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Thomas, entertained Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Thomas and Mrs. Lee, last Saturday evening. The Eiposition closes Saturday night. The Kentucky lady who visited Miss Amelia Taylor, was handsome. It is not generally admitted that the y 011155 Ladies of Cincinnati society are growing; profane, yet we frequently hear from their pretty lips, the expression, mash. W. S. Thomas, Esq., clerk in the State Senate, was circulating among his many friends in the Paris of America this week. ' Col. Harlan has returned, after a pleasant visit to Louisville. We had a large totch light procession here, last Saturday night. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, of Lexington, were over to the Exposition last week. Misa Mary Carter, of Madison, Ind., f pent several days here last week, the guest of Mrs. John Baltimore, of Seventh street. Miss Mary . Britton. a belle of the Blue Grass region, has been visiting her friend Miss Maria Clark, during the past week. The Misses Wilson, of Cleveland, made a host of friends during their visit to the Queen City. A few of the many friends of Miss Alice Thomas, were invited to meet the charming Misses Wilson, of the Forest City hist Thursday evening, where a very enjoyable time was spent by all. The most notable being present were the following and their wives: Messrs. Easton, George Jackson, W. W. Dunlap, N. S. Thomas, Im Wilson and John Lewis. And the following ladies: Mrs. Mary Ruckner, Misses Hattie Todd, Cora Watson, Susie Johnson, Seppie Barnett. Consuela Clark, Liana Young, and Messrs. J. C. F. Anderson, Herbert Clark, Henry W. Forte, Fred D. Anderson, William V. Jones, Thomas Johnson, "W. Abner, Willis Koss and Thos. Triplett. Mr. James Wilson, of Springfield, was here last week, the guest of Mr. George Hays. There is a certain young man in our city. whose place of business was not a thousand miles from where Miss Mary Carter visited, who is very much mashed. Mr. Robert Fisher, was here last Sunday, looking the picture of health. Several of our young gent3 will be found taking trains for Indianapolis soon. J. C. F. go over, the f tre is only four dollars. Mr. N. V. Backus, is here visiting his many friends in our city. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. W. S. Thomas, and his charming wile, of Columbus, 0., last week. Mr. Fry Hawkins, of Kentucky, has been smiling oh our handsome young ladies of the Paris of America this week. Mr. George Barnett, of the M. & C. R. R. office, has been visiting in Toledo. We are sorry t announce the death of Major Travis, the well-known colored barrister of our citv, who died Monday after noon, of consumption. Miss Sallie Turner, of Lexington, Ky., is just one of the sweetest young Ladies we have ever met. We hope she will visit our city again 60on. Dick Taylor, says, Fifth street will be his steeet to Promenade. George Garner left for home Tuesday night. '' Wain nt Hills, Ohio. The first lecture of the season before the Quinn Lyceum of the A. M. E. Church was delivered on Wednesday night the 29th ult., by Rev. W. H. Franklin, the colored gentleman who is pursuing the course of study in Lane Theological Seminary. After a few general statements in regard to the South, he said that he would speak briefly on the moral, religious and educational condition of the freedmen. The subject was ablv handled and all seemed highly pleased with the lecture, which was not only interesting, but also contained much information not otherwise to be obtained. Your correspondent simply gives honor to whom honor is due when he says that Mr. Franklin is one of the most intelligent and promising young men with whom he is acquainted. Graduating with honor last May at Maryvillo, Tenn., College, and, desiring to qualify himself for the ministry, he wisely came to Cincinnati to avail himself of the advantages here offered for the study of divinity. The lecture showed plainly that he is not merely a student of books, but as also an accurate thinker and close observer. Having a good command of a good language, a graceful elocution and withal the ability to think on his legs," it is safe to predict that, if true to himself, he will, at no distant day, become one of the ablest speakers in the country. When he had finished his address he received the hearty congratulations ot some of our most intelligent people, who expressed a desire to have nim repeat the lecture at his earliest convenience. It is to be regretted that the audience was so small. Among the strangers present were Rev. W. T. Maxwell and wife, of Dayton, and Rev. ß. M. Carson, of llillsboro. For some reauon which this correspondent will not attempt to explain, the last named gentleman has suddenly become strongly attached to that portion of the "Queen City" known as the "Hill. 'Madame Rumor" has it that he is trying to capture one of our best girls, Miss . Well let us wait and see. The lecture over, we retired to the basement of the church where the ladies had prepared refreshments, to which we paid our compliments as gracefully as could be desired. KOTKS. Miss Hattie B. Holmes has resumed her studies at the Normal School. Miss Susie Washington, of Avondale, will be married in about three weeks. Miss Nettie Hood could not attend the social on last Wednesday night, but her place was supplied by Mrs. Mattie Gross, who was assisted by Miss Bettie Estis, Miss America Clarke and Miss M. E. Fry. Walter Scott Thomas, Esq., Clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives, is visiting on the Hill. The splendid brick building of W. Pasham, on Chapel street, is rapidly H. appreaching completion. Miss Mattie E. Peyton, Miss Elvira A Willis and Miss Lou Pittman have become members of the new Bible Class, recently organized in Brown's Chapel and put in charge of the pastor. The surprise party which was civen recently at the residence of the A. M. E. pastor was made doubly pleasant by the excellent music of Mr. Geo. Washington and Mr. Woodson Anderson. Mrs. Delphia Elkins was so unwell Sunday as to be unable to attend church. If the agent will call at Mrs. Martha Frye's on Spring street, he will get another subscriber for the Leader. Miss Anna Pryorhas returned from Lexington. Next Sunday the 10th ult, will be "Children's Day" at Brown's Chapel. By another Correspondent. In last week's issue, the types left out the foundation of our communication, viz.: I refer to the expression in regard to slang;" but we, shall not scold, since we know , that the types sometime make mistakes. -

Our city has been all gayety and excitement, during the past week. Many visitors from different parts of the State, have been handsomely entertained by their friends, making everything quite lively in social life. The theaters have been doing well. Thousand! have flocked to Robinson's to see "Uncle Tom's Cabin," while Maggie Mitchell has succeeded, for two weeks, in drawing large audience 1 to the ' Grand." The interest in politics runs high. One of America's most eloquent statesmen Senator Conkling of New York addressed several thousand people at the "Highland House," Friday evening. His speech was short and did not quite come up. to tho expectations of the people. Unfortunately for us, our distance from the platform prevented us from hearing very well, but trcm the rounds of applause -with which he was occasionally greeted, we judge that he dealt outcome blows to the Democracy which they could not ward off. The Republicans of the city and suburbs made & grand demonstration, Saturday evening. We are quite sure that many Democratic hearts ached within the bosoms of their owners, as seven thousand uniformed voters marched along to the merry music. Some of the transparencies spoke to tho Democrats in tones of thunder, prominent among them were. "We pay no Rebel Claims;" ''The Peoples choice General Garfield and General Prosperity;" "We vote as we shot;" "Free Speech, Free Schools and Free Ballot." The procession was one hour and a half passing the judges stand, and it is said to have been witnessed by two hundred thousand people. The city is full of strangers, drawn hither to the great Expositon, Would that it were in our power to give a description of one of its many departments; the attempt we fear would prove a failure; since it must be seen, tobe fully appreciated. The men linger about the machinery; while the fair sex, is found among the sewing machines, fllowers, wax work, laces and pictures. Thousands come and go daily; wa look and wonder, and ask ourselues, "Whence do the peopla come." PlCCOLA.

Ingestion has been com2 on for more than a month Digestion now ensues and the circulation is carrvinsr the different materials , to their respective tissues. The waste of last year, we think, is pretty well replaced; beyond this we can claim nothing but developing for until our wortay trustees increase our facilities of accommodation we cannot in crease our number above the enrollment of past years. This, however, they have prom ised to do and we expect a rapid growtn soon. There is being aroused a lively interest respecting edueatioi. Several students this year are beneficiaries of Conferences, some of Sundav echoola and others of Drivate Dar ties. The Ohio Conference has placed in school Miss Lucy Stevensen, of Alleghany City, Pa., who is preparing for the christian ministry. This miy be a progressive step, but Ohio is permeated with the progressive idea. Our educational comissioner, Rev. Mr. Watson, is placing local agents in many of , 1 1 : . our leading cities, wnicu promises great results. So, while some are a little indifferent to the work of education, we are assured that the tide will move steadily on. On this Indiana is not a whit behind, indeed, she stands a head, for while others are concen trating their power upon one student, she opens wide her hands and heart and says, too: "The race is not given to the swift, nor the battle to the strong." This is the season for the election of officers in the organizations connected with the school. The election in the Y. M. C. A., held last week, resulted as follows : President, G. W. Nicholson: Vice President. G. W. Hamilton; Recording Secretary, S.McElroy; Corresponding Secretary, J. R. Gibson ; Treasurer, President Lee. In Sunday school we elected the following: Superintendent, G. W. Hamiltoe; Assistant Superintend ent, E. A. Clark; Recording Secretary, Mies J. Copeland; Corresponding Secretary, Miss C. Fereuson: Treasurer, w. w. dones; Librarian, J. R. Gibson; Assistant Librarian, S. McElroy. The youne men of the Sodalian have de cided that if Labor is the highway to suc cess" they will make the port this year. The last discussion Grapho heard was be tween Messrs. D. M. Ashby, affirmative, and E. A. Clark, negative. The question was, Resolved. "That suffrage shall have an edu cational limit." The decisio was made in favor of the negative. Our nulDit was filled last Sunday by Rev. G. W. Maxwell in the morning and at night by our pastor, Pres. B. F. Lee. Wraign's Free Lance" will find a great 1 , . 1 J I .

Miss Hannah Thomas, of Greecaste, was in tho city last week, visiting Miss Nannie need. Miss Mary Woodson is quite ill and is im proving slowly. The colored voters of this city are wide awake on the subiect of politics, and will vote the straight Republican ticket. There was a colored woman found dead on the I. and St. Louis railroad, last week. The cause of per death is unknown. Mr. John Faukner and wife are in the city visiting her mother. Miss Esther White has returned from Worthington. She will probably remain the winter. Rev. J. W. Malone is in the city, looking after business. He is stationed at Danville, 111., this year. Miss Esther Walker will remain in Galesburg for the present. Miss Olive Cooper, of Mount Vernon is in the city, going to the Normal. Mr. O. S. B. Wall, of Washington, D C, is in the city, he will speak in Lost Creek settlement this week. The Odd Fellows had their second anniversary in this city last Wednesday. It was a grand success, and alio had a grand festival at night. O. S.B.Walls spoke in Rockville, last Wednesday night, and returned to Terre Haute, Thursday. Died In Terre Haute, at the residence of her mother Gertrude Saulter, aged 15 years and seven months. Rarely have we been called to chronicle the death of one more justly beloved by all that knew he. She fulfilled the command "Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth." She was a consistent member of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Since her eleventh year, and we have the Savior's blesjed promise, "They that seek me early shall find me" and we therefore know that our loss is surely her gain. Is it not written "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Gertie was truly a bright, cheerful helper in the literary society organized by our young people, "The Criterion." She was ever ready with quick wit and sound wisdom to sustain her part in the exercises. "Tb. seeds which piety and lore if are scattered her below. In the fair, fertile fields aboT.

EYANSYILLE DEPARTMENT, The political dies iral is slowly coming. The Republicans have little to fear. . The ubiquitous Bennett, chairman, of Central Committee, has his forces well in hand. Every body intends to vote early. It is necessary. In the record precinct there are 1,300 Republican voters. The polls are open only COO minutes, and U get our full vote in, it will be necessary to vote two men each minute. Let the word go round, that a full vote should be polled early. The Dems. have put ferward every effort but their exertions have over-reached their powir. Now a reaction has taken place. Their parade, Wednesday night, shows this. J. Procter Knott, sometime ago, flashed Abwart the rhetorical sky and caused much admiration, he is now in his oratorical dotacre.

He spoke here, Wednesday night, and expectation met with crushing disapointment. The Dems. "ovated," and it was well a very "dizzy" affair. The party was disgusted with their own performance. The superior feats, the perfect drill and good order of the Republicans, arrest the attention and invoke the admiration of all beholders. They have set a mark, the Demmys can never hope to reach. The Demmys show only a straggling line of the "great unwashed," faithfully jogging along in a go as you-please gait. The Republicans keep time, and step like Veterans, while the Demmys ignore the drum beat entirely. Comparisons are always odious in reference to these parties. Saturday, day and night, both parties intend to put their best before the people of Southern Indiana. Storrs and Thompson will be here with the Republicans, and Hendricks with a miserable collection of political antiquities, will be with the Democrats. I suppese those fellows to come with Hendricks, are the three lesser lights that will dispel with the sun the clouds that lower on the house tops of the faithful Demmys. Every Republican is expected to be in line on this day, and it will be found that our last day will be our best one. I am going out myself. Journalistic life is a fight. The weak, the incapable, the helpless, and the tender, who can not struggle and endure, who can not meet, force with force, skill with skill, cunning with cunning there is no place for them except in the trampled mass ot the defeated. The cry on this field is val victus. "Piccloa" and "Wraign" aspire to the disputed field of verbal criticism. A fellow generally knows the most about that which he knows the least of or words to that effect, and my experience (for which I paid high) in newspaper work tells me that fights of that character are useless, and are only of interest to the publisher's pocket. I advise those critics either to "hire a hall" or write a book, and if one's verbal taste is perverted leave him alone, in his mind. Mr. Alex Findley, a man ot many tricks and turns and of much geniu3, has a panorama that is drawing in many shekels. Rev. W. A. M. Cypress, who has been stationed at "Little Zion " this city, has been transferred to Louisville. Rev. Cypress is a man in every sense of the word and by his exemplary conduct, his upright Christian bearing and his polished social qualities, has endeared himself to the citizens of every denomination here. He is a firm friend of the young men, for he is a representative of the manliness of Christianity. He was also Grand Secretary of Indiana U. B. of F. I believe in thus eulogizing living men; if a fellow docs right let us historians ot a day tell it. It will make him better and the writer also. Sincere commendation is the wine of life. The strongest of us can not work without some recognition of our labor. J Rev. W. S. Lankford is doing extra good work here, he anticipates the wants of this community, he takes an active interest in each man and woman; he has made his calls and the whole church are going to work, hand in hand with him. Tho Elder knows this is not fulsome flattery, for it is an honest man's duty when he sees another man doing good work, faithful and hearty service, the honest man should speak of it. The attendance at the EkLr's church is gratifying. Two persons crossed into the ark of safety last Sunday night. Mrs. Dixon is visiting Mrs. Sheldon. Chas. Sheldon, who was an apostle of Greeleyism, is to speak for the Republicans Thursday night. Charley is a gooa natured man and will do good work, though he was late coming into the fold of the true and tried. Put Vanderburgh down 400 majority. The Odd Eellows did not send a delegate to Richmond. Kienzi. Political Votes. Vote an unscratched ticket. vote tor Albert u. x'orter; he will be an honor to the State as Governor. Vote for Harry Adams, there is no sham about his friendship for the poor man. Vote for Lee Mother shead; he will make the best Treasurer the County ever had. Send in your subscriptions for the Leader. Don t wait to be called on by an agent, is a good man and the Leader does not hesitate to vouch for his friendship for the cob ored man. If your paper does not come, you may know that it has been stopped because you have not paid your subscription. Send the Hon. Stanton Peelle to Congress from this district. He is a gallant Republican soldier boy and will fling hot shot into the ranks of the rebel "brigadiers." Let no man fail to vote for Stanton J. Peele. Hon. Robert Brown Elliot, of South Car lina ig doing yeoman service for our ticket m this btate. It will be remembered that Mr. Elliot wos cheated out of a seat in the Senate by their prince of rascals John Ptterson. Let the voters of the 14th ward stand rolled for the grand old Republican party. Some professedly Republican "po' white trash" are circulating the report that you have sold out. Prove them to be liars of the first wa ter. The Hon. Albert G. Porter will be triumphantly elected Governor of the State of Indiana next Tuesday. Let us not however, be content with his simple election but let us pile up a majority that will carry terror to the hearts of the unwashed Democracy. The representations that Mr. Bieler, the candidate for Recorder, is hostile to the colored people are entirely unfounded. Mr. Bieler is a thorough Republican and we have positive assurance from his own lips that the colored race will be recognized in his office. Let no man think of scratching Bieler. lie The gallant old veteran Gen. A. D. Streight has been doing yeoman service for the Republican cause throughout the State. In every assemblage that he enters ne is tne most prominent figure in it. Indiana will yet honor herself by honoring the soldier, citizen and statesman, General Abel D. Streight. Let no man stay away from the polls be cause of any ftar of bulldozing. The au thorities are amply prepared to protect every man in his right to cast one vote ana to nave that vote honestly counted. There will be no riot. The good order loving people of Indianapolis will not allow a few roughs to deluge our fair city with innocent blood.
