INDIANA
The Louisville: Courier Journal '
Indianapolis correspondent writes on
the 13th inst. that both parties in
Indiaua are "splendidly orgized
and the Republicans are far- better
organized than ever before and are
confident of success. The Demo
crats are very hopeful also. He
says :
"It would be folly to attempt to conceal
the fact that the Republican party in Indi
ana is In a well-organized and confident
condition. It is better organized than it
ever was before. The party leaders first
set out to instill confidence in the inasses
of the party. By a complete system of
drilling they succeeded in- their efforts.
Then the entire machinery and fremendbnr
resources or tho party were used In estat
lishing a thorough organization, 'and' In
thia, too .have thev been successful. The
Democratic party of Indiana now confronts
a great political organization, a gigantic
political machine, encctneered by a class of
desperate political adventurers and tin-
scrupulous party managers. The party is
commanded by men who will stoojio com-
uiik any uiriy piece oi T&scaiuy 10 Bucceeu.
They will import negro and white voters,
stuff ballot-boxes, arrest and imprison
ucLuucima uo in a eve oi me election, ana,
in fact, do any villainy to accomplish their
ends." :
T
He says thoy are playing a Strong
bluff game, and are preparing to
overawe Democratic voters. He
says :
"There is talk here that Bill Dudley, the
United States Marshal for Indiana and
vice or head Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, intends to arrest
a number of Democrats in every countv in
Indiana the day before the election and
slap them in jail." .1
The greatest aotivity possible pre
vails. Speakers, and many of them,
of ability, are canvassing in every
direction. "The woods are full of
them." He writes:
"Theicbno foolishness about the In
diana Democrats in this campaign. They
know the kind, of men they have got to
deal wall and the hard, earnest, rattling
fight they have to make to win the victory,
and they will do it. It is true that they
have got no money, that they are poor and
need money, but they propose to make up
for that deficiency by activity and vigi
lance. The game cf the Republicans is to
buy Indiana, if such a thing is possible.
They have had their agents in every county
in Indiana, for weeks, bidding for Dem
ocrats lo declare for ibeir ticket. But the
Republicans have plenty of .money. The
100,000 office- holders have been assessed
and the Treasury is in an encouraging con
dition It was only last week that the Re
publican committee here ordered 2.500 suits
of flue woolen goods for the Indianapolis
boys, tne whites and blacks, which will cost
Ibe neat, round sum of $5,000."
It is well known in Washingtoi
that thero is entire harmony between
the Republican and Greenback man-
agera. i hey are worKing togetner
aud Weaver is onjy an unscrupulous
and very weak tool the Radicals are
using to entice Democrats of the soft
kind from their allegiance. The
Greenback party as now run is the
old corrupt, desperate party. Only
that and nothing more.

The ; Joav&atioa : was . caUed , to order
about 10. 80r At M yesterday, in the Court
&o&3e, by Gao.tS. H. Manning, Chairman
of the Executive, Committee, who was
subsequen tly made permanent Chairman
with Jos. E. Sampson as Secretary. After
considerable wraugHng -in regard to the
admissibility of certain delegates and other
minor matters the Xjdnvention fin ally en
tered upon the business for .which it had
assembled. It was thought that the party
in this city had gotten rid of a good deal
of its inharmonious elements, and that this
Convention would be characterized at least
by good order and decorum, and whatever
differences of opinion might exist, the dis
putes would b3 settled in a peaceful and
orderly manner. But so far from, this being
the'eaae the-proceedings were if anything
more devoid -of dignity and harmony than
those of any similar body that has assem
bled in this city for years. This was par
ticularly tho case whsn -the nominations
for the House of Represensa'tives were be
ing made. The two candidates first brought
before the Convention by their . respective
friends were W. H. Waddell, colored,"
member of the last Houses-sad J. O. Hill,
formerly a member, from this county
"There were thirty delegates entitled to
vote. When the first ballot was announced
it was found that Waddell had received 16
and Hill 15 votes, making a total of 31, or
one vote more than the number of legal
delegates in the Convention. This caused
some disturbance, but the Chairman quieted
the crowd by suggesting a .new ballot,
This was acceded to, and the next ballot
resulted 1n " Hill's receiving 15 votes and
Waddell 14. Thi3 vote waa about to
be announced by the-Chairman, when the
opponents of Ettll burst out in a storm of
furious, protest and indignation, shouting
Won't have him," "Don't want him, 44 We'll
vote for a Democrat first," &c. This scene
of unparalleled confusion lasted for about a
half an hour, some of the delegates as well
as outsiders bsing perfectly furious, one in
dignant sovereign declaring that "New
Hanover county'was going to h 11." In
tho: meantime Gen. Manning, the Chair
man, rapped contiguously on tie desk be
fore him, and his 'stentorian voice could
be heard Above the tumult of the ex
cited assemblage, . shoutiug "Order I Or
der! Order I" .Finally Waddell got up and
endeavored to pour oil upon the troubled
waters, and then Hill jumped up and
proposed that Waddell be placoed as second
on the ticket by acclamation. This pro
posal served but as a signal for a fresh
outburst f indignant negatives and pro
tests, until finally the nominee had to with
draw his name. This was put to the meet
ing in the form of a motion, and the "eyes
evidently .bad it." and 44by a large ma-
Lorij.y," judging from the amount of noise
made by those who voted in the affirm
ative.
" Another ballot was then taken, which
resulted in the nomination of Waddell.
The remainder of the nominations were
made without mnqh difficulty, and the
ticket, as completed, is as follows:

R. K. Bryan, Esq., of the Fayetteville
Examiner, who was recently here en route
to his old home at Scott's Hill, thus alludes
to a familiar sound in these parts: "The
perpetual booming of guns suggested that
another war-had been started. We found,
however, an explanation of the phenome
non on our return. The rice fields were in
all the glory of the rich golden harvest,
and the booming guns were fired among
the rice birds, which come in multitudes at
this season to snatch from man the fruits of
his industry. The . rice fields put us in
mind of the ante-bellum times, when the
planters were prosperous and wealthy.
May those times return.' The rice birds
are a favorite dish with our epicures, and
our people have their spite but of them for
being such enemies to the unoffending rice
planters by eating 'em. It is about time
for them to take their departure now.
Reals-nation of Dr. Pat t era on.
Many will regret to learn that Rev. Dr.
George Patterson, of St. John's Episcopal
Church, in this city, has. resigned the rec
torship of that church. He does so, we
learn, with the intention of accepting a po
sition tendered him by the University of
the South, which is to solicit an endow
ment fund for that institution at Sewanee,
Tennessee. It will be some consolation to
his many friends to know that his accep
tance of this position will not necessarily
deprive Dr. Patterson of a continued resi
dence among us.

Of Wilmington last night, al the stand

the ""Young Men's ..Hancock, Jarvis and

hours. He was strong in argument, thor
oughly fortified as to facts, was witty, elo
quent and anecdolical by turns. Although
there were no seats for the audience they
stood for over two hours giving, profound
attention to the cogent and earnest logic,
bristling with points and facts, with which
the able gentleman entertained them. We
have heard Col. McRae in a happier mood,
when'he thrilled his audience with a more
perfect magnetism and when he led them
more completely, captive at his will; but we
never heard him when he appeared more
seriously impressed with the importance

ui kuo uiaiici iu uc picocuicu, auu nucu uo
force. It was a speech to intlruct, for, uns
like most public speakers, be elaborated
every point, and left nothing to be filled up
by the information of his hearers. It
showed throughout the utmost care as to
accuracy of statement, and justified what
was said in the Stab recently, that he was
thoroughly informed as to the - issues be
fore the country. No man who listened
attentively could fail to understand every
point he made and the argument by which
he sustained it.
In the opening of his speech he referred
to a matter personal to himself. He said
there had gone out an impression, how ex
tended he knew not, which affected him
personally, and that he desired whathe
then said should appear in the papers of the
city. He said he entered the Democratic
party in 1840 before he was twenty-one
years of age that whether in Europe or
America, in Tennessee or North Carolina
wherever be was he had been true to the
principles of that party, had been every
where a Democrat; that he had never given
a vote.national or otherwise, except for the
Democratic party. That he made an open
challenge, and he invited all concerned to
make the necessary investigation and seek
to prove the contrary.
He then addressed himself to the great
questions before the country. The Demo
cratic party . is seeking to restore a free
government a government of law. Can
it be done? We ought to be able to do it.
In 187G, 4,500.000 votes were cast. The
Democrats in that election had 1,000,000
majority of the while votes of the country.
It had 270,000 majority of the entire popu
lar vote. It had: elected its candidate for
the Presidency, but had not been allowed
to inaugurate him; that the Democrats had
been deprived of their rights by the instru
mentalities of fraud. They had once sub
mitted, but it would never be done again;
that this country could not be any more
destroyed by fraud than it could be de
stroyed by force. The amendments to the
Constitution were inviolable, and the De
mocrats were resolved to maintain the
Constitution, not as it was, but as it is.
He then showed how tho Repnblican lead
ers sought to poison the Northern mind
and lo malign the South by simple and un
adulterated misrepresentation. He first
quoted from a speech of the late Oliver P.
Morton, delivered in the Senate and circu-
ated in the North. It was carefully pre
pared. Morton had gone to his place; the
Lord had given and the Lord bad taken
away; blessed be tho name of the Lord.
Morton Bald that not a constable
could be elected In the South un-
ess he had : been a Confederate.
Col. McRae read from his speech, in which
he said that no Democrat had been sent to
Congress from the South who had been a
Union man. Col. McRae showed that
within five feet of him, as Mbrton spoke
the llbelt there sat Andrew Johnson, elec
ted by the Democrats of Tennessee over
Gen. Wm. Bates, a gallant Confederate
that Johnson had been a Brigadier General
n the Union army, had been Provisional
Governor of Tenneesee, had been Vice
President on the Lincoln ticket, and had
succeeded him as. President. . He referred
to Geo. Gilbert C. Walker, who had been
elected Governor of Virginia and twice
sent to Congress by the Democrats of Vir
ginia, and he had been a General in the
Federal army. He referrod to John Han
cock, Leftwitch, Cooper and others who
had been Union men and who had been
sent to Congress by the Democrats. As it
was 1878, so it was now in 1880. The same
old slanders and misrepresentation were re
sorted to. He quoted from Gen. Banks's
recent speech against the South Banks,
Stonewall Jackson's commissary, who kept
correct accounts, if they were running ac
counts. In contrast with Banks's mis
representations and slanders he gave Grant's
testimony concerning the South during his
recent trip, and which was so favorable.
He then took; up John Sherman and
thoroughly exposed him as a man and
riddled his late speech in Washington.
Sherman said there was no Republican in
the rebel army, and that there was no
Democrat who did not go into the Con
federate army. Col. McRae showed how
many soldiers Missouri and other Southern
States had furnished to the Union army,
and that these men were led into battle by
men who had voted for Breckinridge in
18S0. The South sent a half million of
soldiers to swell the Union forces and Sher
man knew this ' when he made his false
statements. He was witty and sharp

tho only mode of warfare of which the

assert; he'said, thit the Republican party is
the party of crime; and crime in all its
aspects. He proved this most conclusively,

thing unproved, lie made no statement
that was not sustained by fact and evidence, '
He look up the life and character of Gar
field and disgecled it moat thoroughly. He
laid his corruptions bare to tho central
bone. He examined the Credit Mobilier
Bcandal in an exhaustive manner that no
one haa approached in this campaign. We
took some notes, but the argument was too
full, too;minute, too elaborate to allow even
a hurried summary.
He also discussed, with exceeding care
and thofou&bness, the De Golyer pavement
transaction. The bacjc salary grab was
referred lo also. He dwelt particularly
upon Garfield's chief crime the spoliation
of the States. The Louisiana outrago was
presented in words of burning eloquence.
He said Garfield was the most active parti
cipant of all the members of Congress In
the outrages upon tho States. He then
referred to General Hancock, and gave
a most, interesting, graphic and elo
quent description of the manner
of his election at Cincinnati. He
referred In scathing terms to the assault
made upon him by Garfield when he at
tempted to drive him from the army. In
all be said of Hancock be was both happy
and impassioned, and he paid a beautiful
and touching tribute to his high patriotism
and statesmanship. He also addressed the
Greenbackers and showed Bp that consum
mate cheat, Weaver, in true colors. But
we cannot follow him, although he made
some strong and important points. He
quoted from an arraignment of the Repub
lican party made by Weaver and proved
him a paid hireling of that party in his pre
sent canvass. He paid his respects to Kor-
hegay, the so-called Greenback candidate
for Congress, and showed how in voting
for him you really voted for Can ad ay. The
speech was fell of matter, but the strength
of the speaker failed him beforo he had
completed the line of his argument he pur
posed pursuing. It was a speech to hear
closely and then to think about.

Mr. Williams was one of our oldest and
most beloved citizens, in whom centered
all the noble attributes that go to make up
a genial, wholesouled and popular gentle
man. At the time of his death ho was on a

Little, where he contracted a severe cold,
which finally proved fatal, lie was a na

year of his age.
