ELguART, Ind, 8ept. 18.—The ticket which the Indiana Demagracy Is called upon to follow I8 surcly working the deathof that party. In any State but Indiana its nomination would liave been quick sulclde; but Indiana Democrats are a hardy sct, able to thrive on what would bring destructfon to the same party elsewhere. The success of that party In 1874 gave It such ' confidence that In April it seleeted for ita candl- dates the men who, in the event of electlon, could most thoroughly disgraco the State. Willlams, the candidate for Governor, has only two qualifications upon which his party pretend to recommend himy—his Llue feans Lreeches ond his utter lack of culture. Indeed, It In the boast of the party that muany of its candidates lave come from tho unedu- cated, ond the chicf qualifications of most are their frnorance nnd thelr past unfMthful- ness to public or private trusts. One of the clectors is under - fndletinent for perjury fn a case whereln he embezzled funds belonging to a Dusiness firm in Ollo, one of the candidntes for the vfllce of Juidze of the Supreme’ Court is charged with filching $64,000 from the State 4 Tmuurfi. while anothor caudidate for the same office belongs to the {:rcnt army of nnlurrv- grabbers whom the people are Inying on the shelf oa fast as an opportunity presents itself, With such a ticket, the Demnocracy of New York, vile ns the orzanization 15, would think it neediess to take the fleld. Such _a ticket nomi- unted by the Ile‘mhllmnn of any 8tate would in- sure victol the Democraey by a majority in- creased by half the Republican vote, DBut’the Indionn Democracy, countitg upon a complete organization and i thorough” coutrel of the fn- dependent vote, have put the infamous ticket fn the field, and with supreme impudence, and even agalnst the advice of the best men in the pn{ty. have carrled it boldly thus far in the cam- e, i Indinna Democracy 1 composed of three cle- ments,—the tricky party leaders who form the only intelligent part of the organization, the luluc-iuus clement, and the unreconstructed Rebels so plenty in the State ju the time of our confilct. ‘The second find In James D, Willluns thelr representative tman, and 1t is thelr pride that ignorance dwells at thelr liomes, and that refineinent flnds no welcome place at thelr fire- side. With them a blue-jesus sult Is recom- mendation enough for the oflice of President, and that which {s an Insult to ovcr{( intelligent man {n the State {s to them a mark of fitness for rulership. The Rebel element, composed of those who with Tilden-and Hendricks hetped to. make the War o fallure, and ovér whom guards werc Ylnmd tn keep them from open rebellion, and who stand at the polls to intimidate weak- kneed voters, find their represcutatives on the ticket, both Stato and national, Aguin courted Ly Ilendricks, by whom the{ were _encournged 10 resist all war'measures of the Government, they stand ready to use ballots and bullets for the succesa of Demovracy. The party leaders are patting both on thelr backs, and ~“keeplng barmony {n the ranks so far as possible, But there Ia also In Indiana a large class of voters who lnst _year stood by tho Democracy, hut who entered this eanyass unpled; to any ry. ‘This vnt.lufi element §s outalde of party pline, and with it lice tho bulanclng ballot. The ticket which the Democracy hua put in the ficld hias estrunged from {t thesc independent voters. The Greenback party could cateh only nexmall portion of them, while the Repub- ticans feel confldent of the remalnder. In duol- 1slily sacrifielngs this vote, the Democracy of Tn- dlunn bas commitied sulclde. Seelng this, the “(ireenback P move was fostered by Demovrats, in the hope of gaining indirectly what they hat lost directly; but THe TRIBUNTE correspondent las Iately recelved Information which shows that, In dlmost a1} pottions of the State, the Republicans who were recently counted In ns good Greenback men are hard ot work fn the ranks of thefr own party, The past week las workeid very 1nuch of w Fevolutlon inthe relative pusition of the three parties in Indiana, and the !)ruxpuut is that the State will give at Jeast from 5,000 to 6,000 Republcan mujority, while many good judges declaro that Harrlson will carey the State by & much greater mujority, LOUISIANA. A CIIANCE ¥OR MORE BLOOD-SPILLING. . Spectal Dispatch to Tue Tribune, NEw OnneAins, Sept, 19—A few days sinco, Mr, Alfred Bourges, representing the Repub- Hean State Campaign Committee, while at Mon- roe, attended s Democratic moss-mecting at that place, and, In @ report, stated that Col.

Mr, McEnery, o few duys after, denled the Eharge, and also denled that ho wes drunk on the oceasfon.

From Our Own Correspondent, - ‘Wasnixoron, D, 0., 8opt, 16.—Dan" Voor- hees ls stumplng the West as au Apostle of Re- form for Tilden aud Hendrloby ~ Me is & sampls Reformer. It s not very long ago that he was in this city, just before the 8t. Louls Conven- tlon, denouncing Tilden s the bitterest encmy of the Democratic party. Yet, however much Voorlices mny be accustomed Lo denouuce the candidate of his party beforc the nominating Conventlon, he waa never knotrn to bolt. The first time 1 happened to hear him speals, ho could scarcely claim to have Leen pleading for the couse of “Reform.” It was In the Credit-Mobilier Congress. Ile waa defending, on the floor of the, Ifouse, one of the ring- leaders of the Credit-Mobilier conspiracy,— Jnmes Brooks. He dld not scem to know quite how to defend him, and had the air of THE LITTLE MAN IN THE “ NONSENSN VERSES, Who eald, How Bhail t fice from tils terrible cow? 1 willalt on thin stile, and continuc to smile, Which may soften the hieart of this cow. Voorhees approached the House In something of that spirit. That was the time when so many conspleuous Democratie reputations fell, The speech was a remarkable defense of Brooks® connection with the Credit-Mobiler operations, Voorhees defended hin as 2 hie were an Inno- cent man. Even the Democratic newepapers admit that Brooks death was causcd by his agi- tatlon at the Ascovery of lds conneetion with this affalr. The *Tatl Sycamore of the Wa- bash* from his seal on the hack row of fents, strode down tha alsle, and shook his magnificent heed of halr. The Iouse was sllent with expectation. Voorhees hiad entered into the lists agzinst Judge Puland, and agalnst his own Democratie assoclates, Judiges Merrick aml Nivinck. Voorhees tried to make out Brooks the saintllest of saints. ‘The charge againat Brooks, in bricf, was that, a8 (overnment Director, he obtalued 150 shares of the Credit-Mobilier stock fn consfideratlon of the fact that he was to take care of the Demo- cratle elde of the House in mattersof legislation afleeting the Unlon Pacifie Rallroud. ~ Voorhees mude the pleaof an ndvocate, insisting that Brouks had been ‘“ringled out for sacrifice;” that he was conepicuous from bis position in the Democratic barty; and that ho mnst he an funocent man. Voorliees rouglit, inn forty-minute :A)uuch. to show that what the Committee hnd becn six weeks fuvestigating was atiesue of falschoods. His fallure wos lamentable, e did not carry conviction, even 1o his own party; yet ho had’ ns cood a cise in Brooks as lis ‘now las i Tilden. Voorhices' record clearly shows that, his support of Tilden is eatirely a matter of advoeacy. A LONG FAREWELL TO ALL MY GUEATNLS In that speech, Voorhees bade farewell to public 1ifo in w rds which he probably has for- potten. They were these: Iehall roon leave these halls, and Jeave ihem forever, never to seck to return; and It (s not my deslre to lcave n single wound or unkind feellng rankling in anybody's breast; for I shall take neno away with me. i _VOORHEES, AND GREELEY, AND TILDEN. ‘Vorhiees was opposed to the nomination of Tilden; but bis surrender to the Chappaquan Statesiman was ns comblete, as his surrender to Tilden, the Rallrond-Tinker. In his Terre Haute speech’ (July 18), wlicn lic made his famous aur- render to Greeley, Voorhees sald: 1 donot claim to be n ahrewd managing politi- clan, {7 shrowdners and management conslat in suppressing my own cousictions on public ques. lons, and waiting until 1 fnd whether they are vopular or not. e did not suppresa his conyletions befbro the St. Louls Conventlon, when he denounced Til- depon tho atreets of Washington ps an unfit man to _be the candidate of the Demoeratie rnrty. But he swallowed Tiiden as readily as ho ewnllowed crow,—thus proving himeelf a “shrewd managing politician." A CONBPICUOUS EXAMPLE. OF DEMOCRATIC ! MORALITY, Yet, notwithstanding Voorhees' Terro Hauto speech of July 18, on May 13 of the same year, inw specch in the House o Representatives, Alr, Voorhees declared, covyerning Greeley's candidacy for the Fresldenc'," that he (Veor- hees) did not “halt or hesitate.” He sald, in substance: Whoever helicves in Mr, Greelay's Protective principlos might anpport him: but ho | Voorhees) 1eonld not. (lrt:le{ ‘wan the llfe-long champion of n aystem which ho [Voorheos] oppostd, Ho was the mostelumoroun udvocatein atl tholand of the Ku- Kluxlegialation which desolated the whple Southern cople. A red mea of Dlood had 1ot been enough o entféfy lifm, but he had also Insieted on the con- fucation of th liomer and property of the women and children of the South. Others might do as they liked, but, az for &im [Voorkees] and his house- Rold, he would not do this thing, No oue desired wuccess more than himself [Vuorhees]s but thero waa something Letter and sweeter than success. It was better to be right than Lo succeed. But Mr. Veorhices did support Greeley, Ile has suld a8 unkind things of Tilden, and Mr. Voorhiees supports Tilden, In his speech to his constituents, on the 25th ll'»( May following, Mr. Vourliecs said of Grees ey s ‘There by nothing In Mr, Groeley's ater mu} oftlee to w ersonal char- 1inrities to commend him forthe high On the contrary, n mun 11 the office of Clilel Mag- [strate of thin mighty Governnient wos uever iou- tioned b connection with it, Mr. Voorhees Emllh:lamcfl the fact that he lield this opinfon fwith the force of an ab- solute conviction.” Yet 3 us hawd things ot Mr. Tild Ho denounces Taft's order, hut he voted fur the “father of Klux legislation,' the man who mude of the South & *red sea of blood,” and whoe “desolated the whole Southern people.” 1 commend the people of Indiane to such an Avpostle of Reform, ., 18 MORALITY AN ELEMENT IN RErony1 One essentinl principlo of the Reform which Tllaen professes o futroduce inte our institu- tous wust ainly he suund polltical worallty, What political morality Is that which Voorhees and g0 many other Tildenites teach, as they ad- vise men to vote for n tnan whose personat char- aeter aml ‘mllllml prinviples they have wnquall- iely condemmed § Is that the Kind of morallty lkely to introduee. Reform futo our politieal system, to elevato the tone of our politieal life, or give cither o better or less corrupt Govern ment than that we now have! 1s it the kind of morality which hus ever marked o benetleent Re- form{ "It seems rather to bo a renunelation and pusitive rejectlon of every moral mlnu‘lfvlc upon which any Reform e be hased, nud the sur- render of virtne to vice nnd corruption, VOORMNEES DENOUNCES THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMLNTS. I n apeech fn Didiana, in thut year, Voorhees, speaking of the Filteenth Amendinent, said: 1t wae never leenlly ratided. TLwasa fraud, in my Individus] Judguient, on the Amcrican pro- Phu, and zave i Increase of 100,000 negro votes 1o the Radleals. Vourhees thus agrees with many of the South- ern leaders, except that the laiter go further, ‘T'hey ey they aceept the Coustitutional Amend- ments so furus the lutter, a thelr fudyment, are legally ratified and proper, Does Mr. Voor- Tiees, fu 1870, aceept the, Coustitutiona) Amend- ments with qualitfeation? VOORHPES AS THE WIDOW, In thnt samo speech, Yoorhees presents hime self to his constituents b the capacity of Gien, Butler's widow. 1o scems, Hko Widow Buatler, to know what he wauts, and to be able to ask forit, lesald: 1t 1 am re-clected to Congress I shall pursuo the same coutso 1 have heretofore, only promising you a greater industry In your service.
