THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBEB 16, 1878,
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16.
It w ill require seteral weeks for democrats to carry less than 180 pounds of enthusiasm to the square inch.
Bl.vise as a state saver is not a success. He did not save Maine, he did not save Iowa, and the next thing to be heard from his grand exploits will be that he could not save Illinois.
The Baltimore Gazette Regards" It as probable that "there may be -enough of the old Venezuela business about those ninety-seven 'votes to enable the next house to take Mr. Orth by the scruff of tha. neck and the alack 'of the trousers and tosi him out the back door."
An athange asks "where are all the thousands of millions gone that the people have paid into the national treasury since the 'radicals came into power?" and then inti--aifiies that no man can answer the conundrum. Well, it Is on record that radical officials in thirteen years stole fl,300,ooo,ooo of the people's money. That much is accounted for.
The result is stated as follows: A loss of three republican congressmen m Ohio; a loss ot a United States senator for six years in Indiana; a loss of three republican coo. gressmmm Indiana; the election of three democratic congressmen in West Virginia; a loss of two republican congressmen in Iowa; and a loss of the votes of two states Otdo and Indiana should the election of president go to the house of representatiyes.
This radicals are compelled to admit tha the late elections have virtually decided the fate of their party, and the elections yet to take place during the coming year will not disturb the Cat already pronounced. The New York Express, la commenting upon the situation, regards the battle for the control of the next house as ended, and says that "the states that have already chosen con- . 'gressmen have 39 republicans and 1C democrats'in the present house. The same states 'have elected 20 republicans. 23 democrats
'and 5 nationals to the next congress,
with
'one vacancy In Vermont that will be filled by Barlow, national.' On the square issue between republicans and demociats the republicans have lost 13 and the democrats have gained 7, thus adding I t to the present democratic majority of the body, and reducing the republican strength 5 more than 'the democrats gain, by the national triumnha. The renublicaas would have to
gain 23 congressmen to secure a clear majority in the hou9e, and that Is so far beyond the pale of possibility that they won't attempt it At the most they can't gain more than one or two in New England, and as many more in New York. In Tcnnsjlvania they must surpass all present expectationa to hold their preejnt 17 to 10, and in the south and west they can make no material inroads upon the democracy. The next 'house will certainly be distinctively democratic, over both republicans and nationals, by a majority of 20 or more, and the republicans will be in a minority of from 25 to 30. The success of the democrats in the Indiana legislature secures the election of Voorhees, 'and allowing Pennsylvania, New York, Nevada and Connecticut to elect republican 'senators, the democratic control of tie senate couldn't be endangered. Henceforth tbe republicans will direct their campaign to elect state officers and legislatures, and 'congressional candidates will be allowed to paddle their own canoes."
usplcldUsVwnen viewed in the light of events
now transpiring. We are satisfied that the Hon. William II. English, of thtscity, the gentleman to whom reference is evidently made, la m no wise connected with this scheme, provided it has been concocted or is now undergoing the process of incubation. Mr. English Is a gentleman of eminent abilities, and long ago made a national reputation as a member of Congress. His mi&d is peculiarly analy ticaL His perception? r8 1u,clt nd Pirating, and with rare intuition he sees ti the bottom of propositions designed to produce immediate or remote results. Under circumstances different from those which now surround the question of the United States senatorship Mr. English would be regarded as a formidable opponent of any man in the state, and his name hitherto has been frequently used in connection with the high office, but it must be borne in mind that the Hon. Win. II. English is a gentleman ot the highest sense of honor,
and those who have associated his name with an attempt to debauch the Indiana legislature in his interest have perpetrated a foul Blander upon one or Indiana's most upright and distinguished citizens. At this writing we have not seen Mr. English nor do we know that bis attention has been called to the Enquirer's sensational dispatch, bat knowing Mr, English to be aboie such stratagems as the Enquirer's correspondent intimates are on foot, we have no hesitancy in WUrinir that Mr. Eazlish will treat the
whole affair with becoming indignation.
and as a most Infamous attempt to bring his untarnished name into odium. Nor is this the only despicable feature of the Enquirer's Washington dispatch. It assumes that the national banks can purchase the votes of democratic members of the legislature, and accomplish their purpose by open handed bribery., A fouler slander was never uttered by the Eaquirer, which omits no opportunity to directly or indirectly befoul the character of Indiana democrats. It will be observed that the dispatch, which reads as if it might have been written in the Enquirer office, associates the name of the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald with the disreputable business, and makes that gentleman's visits of business or pleasure
play a conspicuous part in the scneme to debauch the legislature of Indiana. A
feature of itself sufficient to stamp the whole affair with infamy. Since writing the above Mr. English, being interviewed by a Sentinel reporter In relation to this matter, said in substance that he had not been a candidate for any office for many years; that he is not a candidate far the United States senate or any other place; that he is not In anyway connected with National banks, and has no information whatever of any such scheme as that referred to in the Enquirer's sensational dlspetch. On the contrary, Jie believes it to be wholly destitute of truth, further than that it is probably true that many persons prerer Mm to Mr. Voorhees. If any such scheme exists Mr. English has not been consulted about it, and be denounces as Infamously false the statement lu an editorial in the same tissue of the Enquirer, charging in substance that he (English) was attempting to bribe his way into the United States senate, and suit will be brought against the Enquirer if the -article be actionable. This sets the whole matter at rest, and is
conclusive that no scheme, if any be thought of, will be sufficiently potential to deprive the Hon. D. W. Voorhees of the honor he has so gallantly won, and which the democrats of tho legislature will award him.
it as the advocate of sound financial and business newt. The campaign of 1SS0 will soon begin. The grand roll call will be heard at no distant day. The Sentinel takes this occasion to say that it will be in the fight for the right, and then, as in 187S, its plume will be seen where the fight is fiercest, and . its shining blade will flash where radical hosts are the most defiant. We believe that democrats throughout the state will consult their best interests and the best interests of the party by riving the Sentinel a wider circulation, and we promise . that , it shall be worthy of their confidence and their patronage .

THE LOGIC OF EVEST-180. We are quite -willing to admit that the election in Indiana on Tuesday last is destined to have a direct bearing upon the pres. idential contest of 1880. We are neither disposed to overestimate nor underestimate
its sienificance. Men who are watching the
drift of events will attach to the democratic victory in Indiana an Importance reaching beyond state politics-
It means more than the triumph of the
democratic party of Indiana. In naming a democratic candidate for president it gives commanding empbanis to the voice of IndL n A western state, a central state and a
democratic state, its influence in the conn
cils of the perty will not be ignored; on the
contrary it will prove more potential than at any previous period in the history of the
state. The democratic triumph in Indiana
is decisive In its effects. It will be studied
with profound earnestness.. Its logic is bold
and convincing. It can not be dwarfed or overthrown. It comes to the front It demands audience. The country will listen and respond. Any attempt to conceal the
process of reasoning now going forward is
supreme folly. As well hope to reach the destined haven by ignoring the compass. The conclusion is inevitable Indiana names the
next president. The democracy of the country stands ready to second the nomination. The time Is auspicious; 18S0, in its demands upon the patriotism of the country, is already dawning. Men devoted to the iniperUhahlft nrinrirles of the democratic party
are coming together, and even now demand j j , g yggsgigSggggEggglgljlggggSgglggggSSSlgSga . ' 1 J tKntl nilV nllV !..! U"X')7..ttvw V

THE CI.tdXXATI NATIONAL
DISPATCH.
HEN
The Cincinnati iCnquirer of yesterday published a highly sensational special from Washington city which purports to give the outlines of a plot to defeat the Hon. D. W. Voorhees' election to the United States senate by the kc'ulature. While we are inclined to the belief that the national banks would spend a pile of money to aefeat this distinguished champion of the people, we do not believe that the manigers of the National Banking association are sucn arrant tools ms to believe they can corrupt the legislature or enough democratic members to defeat ifr. Voorhees' election. It may be well, however, to If y before the readers of the Sentinel the plan as mapped out by the Enquirer's Washington special, and here it is: WASIHKGT09. D. C, Oct. 13, 1ST8. 1 AN O'HOLT eCUKMK AGAtNflT VOORHEES. A movement has been began, and the de
tails arranged, to defeat the Hon. D. W. Voorhees' return to the senate. It had It origin with the executive committee of the National Banking association, and has enlisted in its nort nearly every newspaper In the city of New York. The plan Lt to buy. enough members of the Indiana legislature to defeat Voorhee,andeouea Urate the wealth and Influence of the national banks to secure in his stead the banker English, of Indianapolis. The banks having failed, with Uier lavish expenditure of money In Ohio and Indiana, to Secure the ongrewioiiaI delegations, they propooe hereafter not to attempt to bny the people outright, but to endeavor to buy legislatures, or enough votes in Uieiu to defeat any and al1 candidate inimical to their interests. A very fclgniflcent circumstance in connection with this onslaught oa VoortjeesJ that leading editorials in one or two of the New Ycrk news papers have already appeared denouncing him and suggesting EngUiJh as his successor. English being a democrat of bard money con vidians it La thought that by the use of his own and the money whteh 11I be at his disposal from the bank ha an obtain enough vote to secure his election- Prominent parties in this lty who are ognlzaat of these iacts say that fill the details of the audaeious scheme were arranged in advance of the election in Indiana, and that not only the national tanks, but prominent republicans also, are .llled together to defeat the popular champion of the people. It is well, therefore, for the democratic members of the Indiana legislature (to be thus forewarned of the influences which are to be net against them. English is to be pressed as a democrat, but b9bind the canvas, whl:h will be made In his interest, will be the money changers add the administration. Ills election, at the expense of Voorhees defeat, will rob the people of Indiana or all the substantial reualU of last Tuesday's glorious victory. -There are, too, thoso who say that, while Senator McDonald may not be in league" with those working for English' election, his 'repent visits to New. York are, to say the least,
THE SENTINEL. Now that the campaign is over, the victory won and its majestic proportions mapped out and understood, the Sentinel, without bonfires or pyrotechnics, booming of cannon or thundering applause, gently, feelingly, decidedly and emphatically tells its thousands of readers, in all parts ot the
state, that it is profoundly satisfied with the course it has pursued since the campa'gn commenced. It has been with the democratic party from the start; it has indulged in no crookedness; it has ignored doubts; it has had faith In the principles of the party, and in the integrity of the people; it lias worked with the party and for the party; it haa not assumed to know more than the party, nor to dictate its policy; it has not at any time seen glaring errors or inexcusable derelictions of duty. Oa the contrary, it has had occasion to applaud the wisdom of the leaders, the'r promptness and indefatigable labors, and it
has bad the good sense to endeavor to hold up their bands and give such aid as its best abilities could command to achieve the triumph over which, the party now rejoices. In doing this there has been no sacrifice of self-respect and no exhibitions of egotism. The Sentinel in its place has kept up a ceaseless fire upon the enemy. It has exposed radical scoundrelUm on every proper occaeion. It has pointed out a better way to cuch republicans as sought to throw off their partisan shackles and aid the
democracy in establishing honest govern-' ment It has helped to stamp out radical ties, to expose radical duplicity, to gibbet radical rascals and to dethrone the radica1 party In Indiana and the country at large. Ithas dodged no issue, compromised no principle, advocated no heresies nor shown the white feather when &e battle waxed warm. It has been the stalwart friend of the business man and of the laboring man, and the uncompromising foe of Ebylocklsm. It indoned the democratic platform first, last and all the time, and defi&ctly challenged the Shylock radical organs to attack it Too cow ardly to accept the challenge they remained at a respectful distance and bare-
a ed and earned the contempt of thousands whom they sought to lead. The Sentinel has bombarded every radical fort, entrenchment, castle, citadel, rifle pit and den. It has been in the lront when the rads were routed, horse, foot and dragoon. It has let the light into their dens. It has helped to drag forth sccli monsters of erf jus as Wells and Sherman and their colaborers in fraud. It has battered down radical strongholds, destroyed its refuge of lies, and done its full share in making the radical party stink in the nostrils of honest men and its Infamous record smell to heaven. The Sentinel, as we have reason to know, has met the expectations of the democracy of the state and the friends of good government of all parties. Democrats give it their confidence and support, the laboring man looks to it as a defense In times of trouble and the business man lecogaizes
THIS KtXr N.MAIOR. It can not fail of being a source of profound satisfaction to Governor Williams to know that the democracy of Indiana, with entire unanimity, indorse the wisdom manifested by him in appointing the Hon. D. W. Voorhees to the place in the United States senate made vacant by the death of Oliver
P. Morton. From the day the appointment was made the radical press opened its mud batteries upon the distinguished senator and statesman, and has ceaselessly pursued him. When in the senate, confronting the whole Shylock power and championing the cause of the people, the same venal, subsidized press continued its attacks, and with a vile mixture of scurility and malice sought to lessen his influence. In this, however, it failed, tignally failed. From the day that Senator Voorhees took his seat in the senate he has been a recognized leader. In the presence of the senate he wrested the scepter from the Shylocks and shivered it over their heads. He strode to the front like a born
leader and defiantly held his place to the last moment of the session. Indiana welcomed him home as ehe baa seldom welcomed any of her favorite sons, and on "Tuesday the democracy said "Well done, good and faithful servant Governor Willlams did well when he conferred upon you 'a fraction of a senatorial term. We will give you a lull term." lever was the
I honor more gallantly won, and Indiana, by
lier indorsement of Governor V Ullams appointment proves- that the people are quick to recognize merit and proaipt to reward it Tbnrman Distanced by Hendrlck. I Philadelphia North Ajnerlean.l The October elections have been a killing froet upon the promising crop of presidential candidates. If Mr. Tilden were not already dead, it would be worth while to notice that every thing went as be could have wished. Mr. Thurman's thoughts must be unpleasant enough. To think that, after such lone and skillful balancing on the fence, he should have climbed down on the rrong .side at the wrong time! It is certainly enough to make him weep. Mr. Thurman is no more. Mr. Hendricks alone stands higher than before. He as carried hU state by an increased majority, and he can go before national convention with a legislature, a congressional delegation and a United States senator as the pledges of his power in his own state, and he can shake these so vigorously before the eyes of the convention that they will not have a chance to see how uncertain his financial views have been. Mr. Hendricks . certainly haa the laurels of Tuesday. Tipton Democrat: Last Tuesday evening about 8:30 o'clock a hre broke out in the residence of P. 8. Buchanan, of Franklin township.
