WEDNESDAY, tXTOBKB 4.
That distinguished pair of BiirnKIo -whisker waa not wi'ii to circulate much about ths rooms of the Radical committee j Merday. Friedley don't Foster that style. Sitting Bull is trying to create sytapathy for himself by reporting bad treatment in the cars. . D,es General Harrison indorse the Radical plot to make Indianapolis the scene of Another election riot? Afu?r the grand ovation to Blaine from Ttforuif-rs within the lladical party, UrUow has retinal from the canvas in Indiana. . For the past w.tk the face of Postmaster Hollowly ha been so long that the twelve foot mirror in his private room at the jo-t-office will not take it all in. Landers told the people two years ago what he would dv if they elected him to Congress. He went to Washington and did it.

He hardly has time hefore the campaign clow. 4 ;ie year ago ex-CJovernor Dix "warmly approved the. ohjt'ct of a meeting" to approve the action of (Jovernor Tilden. Now he reviles and abuses him. To Mich depths can partisan spite degrade a narrow mind! The Journal is silent on the subject of the Shelhyville. riot. Its fair-minded und intelligent ruaders will rightly interpret its silence as approval, and will express their opinion of such sentiment in tli-i r votes. One year ago Edwards l'iem pont. present Jlepubliean minister t England, said of Governor Tilden that he was "foremost, fearless and conspicuous, in tlie great movement" fr reform. He is so et ill, but his reformpromise to interfere with llepuhlican iniquities, and no more encomiums of Iiis course are heard from Republican leaders. Sitting Bull U still the big chief around the council fire of the Radical avage in Indiana. In times of profound peaoc hi Toice is still for war, and when there is no hope left of defeating the corruptions he champions, he would fight the weaker factions of his tribe. Bristow and his reformers are the lat victims of old Mars' malignancy. One year ago "William M. Evarts -aid of Governor Tilden: "He deserves and will rcceiTC the support of the honest people of the fctate, regardless of party intents and political distinctions." Mr. Evarts is himself loo hon?st to eat his words, sincerely uttered a year ago, and he is conspicuously absent from the throng of Radical partisan in New York who disgrace themselves hv d -fiimim Governor Tilden. In only one of three way. can Indiana be carried for the Radical party next week. Firt. by importation and the use of repeaters; second, by btning up the doubtful voters. r thirdly and lastly by changing the ballots after they have Is-cn ca-t. Let Democratic challengers be vigilant, and Democratic inspectors and judges Arguseyed, and Williams will he elected governor as certainlv as the election is held. The reform element of the Kndical party is now in a state of subjugation. Sitting Bull h:u- stepped upon this sentiment with his cloven foot, and it feeble life is extinct. Chairman Friedley was offensively officious in bringing afeout the retirement of Orth, and now he is to be bounced. In-ide information has been received to the effect that his scalp will dangle from .Sitting Bull's helt in a few day.. Those colored men who have homes with us, and are bona fide residents of the city, are not included in tin; Sentinel's denunciations of negro imiortations. Such men have a legal right to the elective franchise, and should not be interfered with; but the negroes who come hen.' only to vote and then go away, must be taught that it is dangerous to violate the law, or even to attempt it. A train wan chartered at Cincinnati for 250 negroes who were to be sent from that point to th Radical reunion in this city. "When the gentlemanly passenger agent of the road inquired, "How wlamt the return train?'' 'Oh, we do not want them to come hack at all," km the prompt reply. This is the way the Radicals work to overcome the el even thonaand Democratic majority against them, according to their own polling. John Hann once run for the legislature in Kansas and was elected. " He tried a similar race a few years ago in Putnam county and was defeated. He succeeded better when a carpet-bagger than he did when a bona fide resident of the county he wished to represent. If he w ill leave his family again and go riouth with his carpet-hag. jerhaps he may get into Congress. Possibly there are some dietricU in South Carolina ' l. 1 ... Wi i 7 'm to Washington.
A KOLKMX WARMMJ. A contributor to the columns of the Louisxille Courier-Journal, over the signature of Citizen," discloses a condition of affairs in connection with the approaching election in this jitate which is simply Moral-curdling in its oncentrat! horrors. It has reference to
th colored man and voter and the frightful diabolism of the conspiracy is sufficient to appall the stout est African heart. It is well known to every observant Kentuckian that an appreciable diminution of the colored population has occurred in the last few weeks within the limits ofthat state, and that many of these patriotic and sympathetic people, in res)onse to the Macedonian cry of "come and help us," that ha, plaintively issued froin the Republican throats of this city, have hastily packed a valise and thronged over in scattering sounds to the Indiana side to be ready with their ballots on the 10th of October. About the time of the Hayes and Wln-eler reunion, an invitation was extended to them from the central committee, and many of them came over to share in the festivities of the day and receive the applause to which their deeds of patriotism and valor during the civil war so well entitled them. Few, if any, of these immortal veterans have returned, and the inquiry is whispered from lip to lip, where are they? The solution of the matter as given bv the writer is contained in an answer of two words, and is replete with all that is horrible and revolting. The answer is,' " Medical colleges got "em." The number of these institutions throughout the great Northwest has been frequently a matter of surprised comment, and the difficulty of obtaining the requisite number of bodies fur the agreeable process of dissection and anatomical demonstration, has la-en a source of erplexity and inconvenience to the learned faculties who have them in charge. A bonus often dollars for a good healthy corpse has frequently lecn offered by the zealous student of medicine, and in some towns, associations have been formed for the enlightened and profitable business of ImkIv snatching. The sujcriority of the colored man over the white man for the uses of the dissecting table, a well as in othwr particulars has long been recognized by the demonstrator of anatomy, and the ease with which the course of imjMirtant muscles and vessels are traced out on th surface of his cuticle with chalk, ha rendered him qu"e a prize to the industrious student. That some collusion exists ls-twecn these institutions of medical learning and the Republican state central committee of Indiana, there is every reason to apprehend, and the activity displayed about the back doors and alleys of the medical colleges in this city, should be full of admonition and warning to the strange colored man who drifts alout the streets, or w ho contemplates a change of residence from Kentucky to Indiana. The exjH'Kse of the colonization and trnn-torta-tion of voters is immense, and the Reptiblican party has already been subjected to the j burden once during the present year. Unless some method is devised to pay expenses, it wilj entail financial ruin on them, and a party driven to such extremity will stop at nothing. After the chvtion, these devoted men will la Usch for lolitica1 purposes, and they are strangers and unknow n north of the river. The medical schools are in active and successful operation, and their emissaries throng every town. The inferfereiiees are too terrific to Ik draw n. We only sax to the misguided men, trust not the seductive proniies of the Republican agents. It will lead only to your being immured until election in an Indiana jolis cellar, and then vour lsrstciitv, if you have anv, can I T Come and gaze on your cuticle, all stuffed and shining, through the glass door of the anatomical mueiim of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. M.UOK Ultl)l AT SOrTlU'ORrt Major Gordon in a late sja-ech at SouthNrt said "he had a bloody shirt at home laid away in a little lox, the, sad memento of an idolized son." Yes, and Major Gordon knows that he ha a much sympathy among his Democratic friends as among those of bis own party when he mourns the loss of his 1m)v. He knows when Morton and Ben Harrison talk "bloody shirt" that thev mean an entirely different thing. In plain words, it is to continue that reign of hellish passion which held sway for so many years in the Southern states, and by w hich Morton has been enabled to hold his seat in the United Stat-s Senate, and by which the.last two presidential elections were carried in favor of the Radical party. This is w hat w e mean by the "bloody shirt" thnt gory symlwd behind the flap and flutter of which Morton and Harrison hope to ride into and hold power, and the thieves and hkxxl-sue.kers of the United State treasury hope to kn-p on plundering. We repeat: Major Gordon knows better than anvoneeleo that there are as many warm hearts sympathizing, with him among his Democratic friends as among the Republicans, when he at times sheds a silent tear over the. Iom of his boy. 1'RIDAY. "Hayea and Wheeler" were nominated on Friday and "lien. Harrison" received hi scaled instructions from Morton on the same inauspicious day, when some onn drew attention to the fact, that the day was consideml an unlucky one. We believe it was a IViiKx-ratic Journal, the Chicago Times, which first extended kindly sympathy tv wards the candidates, pattwd k.ieru on the. back, as it were, and told them not to cry; it would be all right in the end. This ro-mind-i uf of a little frtory in point. An old
shipwright, hearing of the bad luck which was supposed to attend work done on Friday, scouted the idea and resolved to test the matter, and here is his experience in his ow n language: "I laid the keel of my ship on Friday I had all my hands xvork only on Friday I finished heron Friday I found a fool to sail her on Friday and, I exjHi t she went to the devil on Friday, for I haven't seen her since." Let Ben Harrison and Hayes and Wheeler remember the experience of the shipwright.
The Radical camp is utterly demoralized and internal dissension and discord are rapidly doing the xvork of destruction. The leaders all concede that the state is ost Their poll of the state shows this, and the state committee and Sitting Bull have for a week past been devising some plan to save Harrison from the general wreck. They have finally determined to sacrifice beyond all hope the rest of the state ticket, and have instructed the faithful all over the state to trade off everybody for votes for Harrison. This movement has created gn at indignation among the candidates , on the state ticket and their friends, and Sitting Bull and the state committee are enjoying the music of a large sized hornet's nest around their ears. Even Republican candidates for congress are to be sacrificed for the grandson. Special instructions to this effect have leen sent to Hunter's district. In our city yesterday the proposition to trade was made frequently by prominent Republicans who were acting under orders from Sitting Bull. But this last desperate movement w ill not save Harrison. It is an evidence of weak" ness, and is bn-eding dissatisfaction and a loss of confidence in the rank and file. Let us urge all our Democratic friends to reject all otters to trade, but inarch on in triumph, and snow the whole ticket under, including Mr. Harrison. The constant reader of the rejxrts of Radical inn-tings published in the Journal will have noticed a great similarity in the language. Sine of the report purport to have Itcen received by telegraph and others by mail. When a n-Mrt comes by telegraph, it is so marked and the others are marked special to the Journal. Saturday's Journal had a rcjnirt of a meeting at Mitchell and it was marked 'special." This special puqiorted to give an account of the day meeting at Mitchell and also of the night meeting. A letter or courier could not possibly have reached the city after the night meeting and hence the whole rejMrt must have been w ritten in the room of the state committee. This is only one instance. We could cite a number of other cacs where a report of the meetings could only have reached the city by telegraph in time for the issue of the paper that contained them. The Journal is trying to make the polc believe by these manufactured rejmrts that the state is ablaze for the ..Radical party. Can a change of' administration by a in possibility increase the hardness . of the times or the pressure of financial difficulty? We ask the merchant w ho runs up his brief account of cash sales at the close of the dav; and we ask the mechanic who seeks vainly for employment, and who stands hopeless and despairing at the utter stagnation of every business enterprise. Is there not every reon for believing that a change of management in the government w ill result in a return of prosjterity and life to every channel of trade? Ten years of Republican rule has marked a progressixe decline of every industry, and Republican financiering has created distrust and panic in every avenue of commerce. What greater evil could any succeeding administration inflict? A pilvate letter from North Carolina announce that that state is aroused to a pitch of political fever unknown for years, and that the only question as to the election regards the size of the Democratic majority. The misgoverned people of the south turn to the election of Tilden as the only relief from a government which is worse tljan anarchy a tyranny that is almost maddening. A spevh of Gen. Clingman, which our correspondent enc!os-s, depicts the hardshis of the country in glowing colors, and in it. spirit of devotion to the true interests of the south and fervid appeal for tho reform of abuses, breathes the sentiment of the entire section. The New Orleans Times says the only persons in the South w ho are hunting up Southern claims against the government and advocating their payment are "government officials and leading Republican politicians.' We conclude that any man of any of the political parties may safely bet his bottom dollar that the Times is correct in its declaration, and that when the facts come out it w ill be found that the Mortons, Orths, Pinchbacks, Caseys, Kelloggs, ad infinitum, will bo found with their pockets stuffed full of these war claims. It will be a happy way to plunder the treasury when all other means are destroyed. Tho only retort which the intellectual giants of the Journal Bt-em able to command is the school-boy's "Yoa're another." It an wem! our damaging expose of the Kilpatr rick letter with a trumpery attempt to mako capital out of a simple note of courtesy from Governor Hendricks to Mr. Watterson, and its only reply to our charged in connection w ith the Radical riot at Shelbyvillo is an attempt to manufacture Demoeratio Gicessat Franklin and Greensburg. Originality is too much to expect of tho Radical ring or-
gan, but it might make its plagiarism a litth less palpable and tame.
I Next Thursday will give the lie to those Radical sjn-akers who assert that all the soldiers are Republicans. Hundreds and thousand of the gallant men who wore the blue and fought for the Union will be in the procession and inarch under the banner of Tihh o this fact i greatly distressing the Radical leaders, and some of them are so desperate a to advocate the hiring of men to go into the procession and hallo for Jeff. Davis. This game is understood, and should such a cry le heard, the man who gives it will sxn Ik- laid up for rejmirs. The Radicals blubln-r much alxait reducing the number of government employes at Washington, but w hen it comes to putting the Democratic jndicy of retrenchment into ojK-ration. the true Radical idea sticks out conspicuously. Only those employes who have influence are retained. An exchange says that the average age of of forty-six persons selected for dismissal is sixty-two years. One of them has been in continuous service of the government since 1813, and has held many places of tric-t within the department. Another has held equally responsible jositioiis since 18TJ. The grandson and the moral readers of the Journal were doubtless shocked yesterday when they read the account of the meeting in Franklin on Saturday. If the dirty remark was made about the pumpkin, a fact which we doubt, weaving it into a nport of the meeting whs in very bad taste. Can it ! possible that the Radical State Central Committee in their rage are writing up reports that are an insult to the moral entiments of the mases of the Republican party? We know the failure of all their plan has made them mad, but they had letter k-cp -k1, Lieutenant Governor Sexton, the Republican candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, is in a bad fix. Sme of his political friend in Jefferson county have thought it nn-essary to publish a certificate that he was not drunk at a late convention of his pjrty, and the element he is now courting the whisky cleiuent has discovered that he suhscrilcd a large sum of money to prosecute the liquor sellers a few years ago. The people of the Fourth district have no use for the Janus-faced lieutenant governor, and on the KKh of this month xvill lay him out on a cooling board. Grant, some time since, gave hi views of Morgan, the Radical candidate for governor of New York, bx- saving that "Morgan always seemed to me (Grant) to be a mere bag of dollars; shake the dollars out and there would be nothing left but the bag. His lalors as Senator seem to le simply to s-cure his r-election. I never knexv an officer appointed at his request who did not have the reputation of ln-ing a corrupt man. I think the defeat of Morgan would le a heax v blow to the whiskv ring of New York." A telescope of imposing dimensions occupies the corner of Washington and Meridian stn-ets, and points its. muzzle southward, while its breech rest against the building in yyhich the acrimonious and bilious Fishback dispenses law when not waving the shirt. Has it la-en placed there for the convenience of Pinkney to look out for Southern outrages, or i he studying the hcax'cns and searching for a place of Radical refuge amid the interplanetary spaces? The Radical wire-workers of this count v expect to control the x-otes of the colored brother through the aid of the colored preachers. The negro James was one of the evangelists, but unfortunately for the Radical cause he came to grief before the election. To carry out the plan and tickle the ncgrtes whom they refused to invite to the Opera House Saturday evening, a meeting w as called for the colored Baptist Church last evening. Major Gordon is a brave and honorable man. He defied the opposition of two counties of lynchers and the disapproval of bis own party friends in a large region of the state to express his condemnation of the Orange county outrages. He can not be ignorant of the plot to incite a riot here on election day in the interests of the Radical party of which he is , a candidate. "Will he denounce it as bravely as he did the Orange affair? . The Journal is earnestly laboring to embarrass the Democratic demonstration on Thursday by creating tho impression that free trains are to bo run to the city. It should be understood that nothing the Journal says in the matter is worthy of belief, as it would misrepresent from malicious motives. It is the province of the Journal to mislead the public and slander sacb soldiers a do not agree with it politically. The State armory on "Went Market street Is being turned Into an eating house for the Jiemocratlc tramps who will be here on the 5th.-Jourual. Is this the treatment soldiers are to expect from the self styled organ of "Our Boys in Blue," simply because they are now endeavoring to save, the country by the ballot as they did by tho . bullet. The men who will lunch at the state armory on oth are soldiers who will exhibit honorable discharges instead of commiseions as postmasters as credential?.
John Ilnnna once went to. Kansas on a tour of observation, and turned up a Radical law maker at Topeka. "While his family lived at Greencastle, he lived at Topeka, and while they obeyed the -laws of Indiana, he assisted in making laws for the people of Kansas. Verily he is a wonderful man, and it i strange that the ".x-ople of Indiana havenot sooner found it out.
Announcements of political speakings throughout the state will la' found on the second page of the Sentinel this morning. Among the distinguished gentlemen from abroad who are announced are Senator Trumbull of Illinois, and Governor Parker of New Jersey. General Farnsworth is also announced for another series of engagement. Why were not the colored guards invited out to hear Gen. Harrison Saturday evening? We understand the Radical managers arranged with Gen. Harrison that he should praise the bravery of the colon-d troops, and have his speech reported in the Journal, so they could read it, but sjat-ial effort, were made to kn-p them from hearing it. Bob Ingersoll has a poor opinion f Tilden, but a still worse opinion of Jehovah. He says: "Search the records of the whole w orld, find out the history of every barbarous trite and you w ill nnd no crime that touched a lower depth of Infamy than those the Bible (Jod commanded and approved. For such a Ood I hax-e no words to express my loathing and contempt, and all the words in all the lanKiiaKeM or man would scarcely be'sufticient. Away with such a God!" The jx-ople of the Seventh Congressional District must choose between Franklin Landers, w ho has proven himself a faithful representative of their interests, and John Hanna, whose experience in legislative affairs i confined to a single term in the Karisa legislature when he was carja-t-bag-ging in that state. There is just now a tremendous effort lacing made by the Itadical press to cover up Radical stealings, and the Boston Traveler sets the matter at rest by saying that during the administration of John Quiney Adams the stealing from the treasury amounted to four dollars and thirty-nine cent on each dollar received. Among the agonizing uncertainties of the present campaign, only one conclusion may be grasped with tolerable safety; that the New Castle band w ill furnish no more music to the Republican Central Committee till that little bill is settled. Mr. Fairley publishes a card on this subject in another column. "General K. M. Lee of New Yank" the bloody shirt orator left the Grand Hotel hist evening in hot haste to join Kilpatrick. He left behind him a record that well might shame every Sitting Bull. The aus of Ls-c's last departure will be found fully set forth in our local columns. In the face of the sworn affidavit published tw ice in the Sentinel, docs the Journal still characterize the story of the Shelbyville riot as a campaign lie? Will the Journal spare time from the industrious manufacture of forthcoming Democratic election outrage to deliver itself upon this jioint? The Journal made a special apjxal to the young men of the city to come out and hear Harrison. The Radical leaders told them that the negro clubs would not be invited, and thev m ed have no fears if thev brought c their sweethearts along, that they would have to sit beside the colored brother. The thieves of the United States have united in a petition asking that a day be set apart for them to visit the Centennial. Grant is supposed to favor the proposition as it would give Babcock, Boss Shepherd, Belknap, Rolcon, McDonald, Joyce, and several hundred other Radicals a pleasant holiday. A card from Mr. Cooper, published on the eighth page, shows that the Herald mule story was but a gross perversion of a legitimate business transaction. The matter is fully explained by Mr. Cooper, and we would commend his card to the careful perusal of the public. The fact has just leaked out that the negro cluls wanted the post of honor at the late reunion, but were sent to the rear by the orders of the Radical leaders. The Democrats have never treated the colored troops as badly as their pretended friends have done in the last week. The grandson began his speech at the Opera House with the sentence, "J am glad I am a Republican." As he has repeated this several times it is fair to presume that next to being the grandson of his grandfather he rejoices ia the fact that ho is a Republican. ' Lon Sexton was a crusader two years ago and contributed money to prosecute the saloon keepers. He is now going through the Fourth district seeking intimate relations with the men who were able to weather the persecution his money sot in motion. One year ago the New York Times said of Governor Tilden: "For a time he will be praised and then ha will be abused all around," and it is now working with the most brilliant malignity to justify it prediction. ' We imagine Dan. Voorhoes hunting for his holeafterone Joint discussion with lion. J. V. HurrowK, whom he affected to treat with disdain. Journal. "We imagine that all animated nature would hunt a hole when the great North American calliope breaks loose.
The Journal in its malice would mislead, the public as to its real objects of the viita-s meeting here on the fifth. The. meeting is in the interest of reform, and all soldiers who would ave their country by a chaug in administration are especially invited. The telescopic vision of the Journal editor discerns a gathering of roughs in Baltimore to invade Indiana cn election dav but can not 1- focused on the Sitting Bull calves who outrage, plunder, and d.Mroy under the editorial nose at Shelby vi lie. The red uniform a hundred years ago i--ccil a terrible licking. History always repeats Usvlf. and the bloody shirt smiv w ill mn-t overwhelming defeat next Tuesday. It was an unlucky color the Radic?! adopted for their calve.
Sexton subscribes money to prosecute the liquor dealer, and. as if this was rot enough to establish his temperance principles. g"ts his x)litical friends to certify that he was not drunk at a late convention of hi part v. Of the thousands who have signified th ir intention of attending the grand re-form mass meeting in this city on Thursday, ih.s Sentinel han"t heard of a single po-tmatcr. But they had their reunion a f.-rtniirhi since. Where has that gang of negc--. w hick hung around the rooms of th Radical committee last week gone? some people are k. ing.
