Dew Uie Itepublieang Carried luulaua In 1S180 A "Warning tit Politicians Lcek Alter the Man "Who Proposes te Distribute Your Meney. Columbus Cor. N. V. Times. The coutreversy that has recently taken place regaidiujj the presidential campaign of 1SS0 in Imliana has caused no little' comment in political circles, net only in the Koesicr state, but, throughout the country. The very prominent gcntlnraen takiug'part in this controversy have no doubt added greatly te the importance of a subject, which might, under different circumstances, have passed by unnoticed. The candidate for vice-president en tha national Democratic ticket has given his reasons why his own state suddenly turned about and gave a majority for the Repub. licau candidates. Gov. Hendricks, as a matter of self-defense, was also compelled te make a statement, but neither gentle men has given the veal cause. The history of that famous contest, beginning as far back as 1879, has never been fully known te the pcople of Indiana, and even te the present day the Democratic managers are igneraut of the means used by the Repub licans. The Bourbons will be still mere surprised when it is made clear that the greatest service in aid of the election of the entire Republican ticket was performed by and through the managers of the Demo cratic campaign committee.' It has been given out, auddeubtlefcs generally believed among Democrats, that Indiana was carried by the Republicans by the free use of money. This, however, is net the case, as will appear hereafter. As early as July, 1879, ex-Secretary Blaine begun quietly te work his presi dential campaign. He was shrewd enough te t,ee that in Indiana there had for years been a loebencss in the manner of conduct ing the Republican canvas.-. He was im pressed with the idaa that there had never been made a trustworthy poll of the voters of the state, and he believed, moreover, that if the vote could be gotten out aud the Republican factions united, it would be found that Indiana was Republican state Se impressed was he with this view that he called te Washington a well known and cucrsetic citizen of Indianapolis, and te him confided his views, which were thesc rii his friend. It was arranged that work should at once begin. Cel. W. AV. Dudley, the Uriitcd States marshal, who was fully advised, at ence took charge of the work and pushed it rapidly forward. Cel. Dudley called te his aid a well known correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. an ardent Republican. Mr. Woodward visited Cincinnati and laid the plan" before 3ir. McLean, the argument used being that the knowledge te be obtained through this alliance, would net only be trust worthy, but would in the end show the influence of the Democratic organ -and demonstrate the correctness of its reports. After considering the matter, Mr. McLain intimated that he was publishing a news paper, aud te go ahead, hurt whom it might. The weik began during t'ue summer of 1879, the plan adopted being as fellows : Cel. Dudley hent out circulars te all the Republican township efliccrs, school teachers, telegraph operators and post pest ntastei.s, and fiem them lcccivcd trust worthy reports. Mr. Woodward addressed all the" Democratic county officers, such as trustees, justices of the peace, read super intendents and Democratic postmasters, there being C4 of these in the state. This work was, continued until completed in December, when a comparison of the re turns vras made, and, as suspected from the liist, it was discovered that thcre had never been a correct poll of the vote made ; that theie were 470,000 voters, in stead of 130,000 as shown by the Demo cratic i.oll-beok. It was also ascertained that Mr. Elaine was the choice of the In diana Republicans for president. When the-labor had been completed the lcsult was pn.blisb.cd in the Cincinnati Enquirer, by counties, and a copy el the paper was mailed te every conespendent, but the list of void's furnished by the Democratic correspondents was wholly ignercdj and that ued which had been furnished by the Republicans, aud probably te "this day every Democratic correspondent is under the impression that his liguves were useJl but they were net. The circulars addie'sscd te Republicans were confidential ; the most trustworthy persons efa the state weie the persons who furnished the information. Meney was furnished for the distribution ei net less than.e73,000 copies of the Enquirer, Sena Sena eor Blaine sending 61,000 at one time and 000 at another. The poll of the vote, as well as the political complexion of it, was disheartening te the Democrats, but coming aa it didi'rem a Democratic ergau, it was accepted as Gepd truth, and in fluenced no small number of wavering vetcis. who were desirous of bcin;r en the winning tide. After the Chicago couventieu I the labor was continued, aud theso who conducted it, notably Ce!. Dudley, saw hew effectually the leaven was working. When the Democratic" national con vention assembled at Cincinnati there was no little feeling manifested by the Indiana delegation ; this, of course, was encour aged by certain discreet Republicans who steed in the background. The night be fore the nomination of Gen. Hancock a copy of the platform te ba adepted was taken le the private room of Senater Veor- hees. who, after having carefully read the document epsnly opposed the adoption of that clause referring te the tariff. IIe then and there predicted that, should that plank be incorporated into the platform, it would lese Indiana te the Democracy. He argued that the state had grown ra pidly in manufactuics, that many were being established, and that millions of dollars were invested ; that Democratic capitalists would net indorse the measure, aud the result would be that theso inter ests would combine and defeat the ticket. He builded wiser than his party. After Mr. English was nominated he was asked if the nomination were a wise. one. His answer was in effect that it was as geed as any ; that the candidate would make no dilference whatever ; that if defeat fol lowed it would be en account of the con struction of the .superstructure. He would enter the breach, but net with any degrec of confidence that success would reward his efforts. After the Democratic convention, when both machines were put te work, the shrewd manager, Cel. Dudley, saw au op ep op pertunity te appropriate te his own use the services of two gentlemen connected with the Democratic bureau. Onegeutlc man named Matthews was the private sec retary of Mr. English, and attended te the private correspendencs of the vice president-expectant, while the ether, a Mr. Parker, was assigned te the work of polling the vote of the state. Mr. Parker was requested te "aid the Enquirer, and, with a view of serving the cause, received for his service a regular salary of $100 a month, as he believed, from the Enquirc-r. Pftrker was induced te write a circular calling upon the Democratic committee men te send him all information possible, together with a list of Democratic and Republican voters. A stamped envelope accompanied the circular, with Parker's name printed thereon, and he, supposing the information was for publication, di rected the postmaster te place all mail, matter addressed te him in a'separate box, which was accordingly done. Parker in nocently gave up the key, and never sus pected that his mail was taken directly te the rooms of the Republican committee, but such was the case. Te iudicate hew thorough and trustworthy the work of Cel. Dudley was done, it is only neces sary te say that the poll published in July and September showed within 139 votes what the plurality would be. By a com parison of the poll made by Cel. Dudley and that made by the Democrats te Parker it was found that the Democratic estimate was 449.000 voters, when in fact there were 470,000. It was further ascertained that abput 10 per cent, of the voters could net be gotten te the polls. . When ex-Senater Dersey, with Chauney I. Filley and Geerge C. Gerhani, appeared en the scene, details were made from every department of the federal govern ment. Timber agents were brought from Washington territory and Oregen, from Flerida, Mississippi and Alabama. Special agents of the- posteffico department from Texas, Arkansas and New England were sent for, and even the talented moon meon moen shiners in the mountain regions of Georgia and North Carolina were given a holiday, while the treasury agents formed a picket line en the Kentucky border. But, singu lar aud strange as it may appear, net one of these men was given ene dollar of the campaign fund te disburse. The Demo cratic raauagers anticipated raids from Republican plug uglics and repeaters from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Yerk, and sent for detectives te watch and ''knockers ".te bruise them. At the suggestion of Mr. Jehn C. New the Repub licans sent te Kansas, Iowa and Michigan for all extra help of that kind which seemed necessary te watch Democrats. These men were stationed all ever the state preceding the election. The le gitimate expenses of the campaign ou the Republican side were about 74,000, in cluding $4,000 which, was expended iu ad dition te the $1,000 contributed by Sena Sena eor Blaine in netting a trustworthy poll of the voters of the state- The credit of carrying Indiana clearly belongs te Cel. Dudley, although Mr. Dersoy has hereto fore been awarded the honor. It will be noticed that the poll of the state, which was published in July, and ou which basis the Republicans founded their .claims, was correct in every respect. This work, and the publication of the same in the Demo cratic organ of the West, was worth thous ands of Republican votes, and the labor was finished befere Senater Dersey and staff arrived in the state, aud that the re sult would have been the same had he re mained away is maintained by theso who were in a position te knew. It is gener. ally believed that there was sent te Mr. Dersey net less thau $250,000 te use iu iiie state, and by ethers it is claimed that $100,000 was the amount sent. Be this as it may, the.re is no record ' te show that ever $55,000 was expended, and the re mainder of the sum sent into the state, whatever it may have beeu, it is charged, stuck iu the pockets of theso in whose hands it was placed for distribution. On the day of the election Mr. B.irnum was at Iudiauapelis, with headiiu.ivters at room Ne. 49, in the Bates house. As late as 5 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Mr. Barnum smd his private secretary went te the office of Mr. Wui. II. Eug lish, aud there gave te the Democratic candidate for vice president ten five-hundred dollar bills, for which he desired one and two dollar notes. Mr. Engli.sh took the money and went out among the banks, and seen after re turned -with the small bills wrapped up in an old news paper. Mr. Barnum trusted implicitly te the statements of the managers of the Democratic committee, and se confident was he that the state would be carried by the Democracy that he left Iudiauapelitr for .New 1 eik en the live e clock tram the sajne afternoon, carrying back with him $50,000 for which he found no use in In diana. Te show mere clearly hew well Colonel Dudley used the Democratic cemmittee as a helper, it may be well te refer te the fol fel fol lewingfacts, of the truthfulness of which thcre is no doubt whatever : At Indianap olis Tilde u had many warm friends, and, after the Uoesier statesmen were iguercd by the National convention, the Sage of Gramercy Park was the choice, and Eng lish, who was unpopular, was nven te them as a sep, and that it was unpalata ble there is de question. The entire ceun try was anxious about Indiana, and (jrcn. Garfield was in doubt. It was, therefore, deemed advisable, abe'ut two weeks before the election, te show te Gen. Garfield that the Republicans were sure of the state. The Republican poll list was pre pared, but it was deemed desirable te se cure, if possible, the poll book of the Democratic committee. Hew te obtain it was a problem net easily solved. At this juueture a friend of Mr. Tilden appeared en the scene, and through him the desired book was secured late en Saturday afternoon, and about two weeks before the election, aud at once found its way into the hands of the Republicans. After having been inspected by Cel. Dudley and Mr. Dersey, a very discreet messenger was intrusted with the book, and at once departed with it for Menter, arriving there en Sunday morning. Gen. Garfield, Cel. Swaim and the messenger went where no ene would ba likely te trespass upeu them, nnd there and then was the Democratic poll-book of Indiana submitted te the Republican can didate for the presidency. The result of the examination was highly gratifying te Gen. Garfield, and disclosed the fact that the Democrats only claimed the state by 12,000, and that, tee, ou a higher vote than the Republican estimates were based upon. The messenger at once returned, and, early Monday morning, befere the Democratic managers had arrived at their headquarters, the book had been returned te the vault, and its having been taken te Menter was never suspected. The charge made by cx-Gev. Hendricks that the Indiana "Democrats were bought up by the Republicans is an open insult te the Democrats of that state, and is disproved by solid, stern facts, and te show that Mr. Dersey did net buy votes, as charged, it is only necessary te refer te the vote by precincts in every part of the state in the November election, when, it is admitted by all, that there were no de tectives, no Untied States marshals, no repeaters or plug-uglies at the polls, and the difference en the entire vote of the state en the Republican side was less than COO, as compared with the vete polled in October. The reflections cast upon Mr. English by ax.Gev. Hendricks" are re garded in Indiaua as in peer taste. Mr. English did net assume te conduct the campaign inTndiana ; the management of it was exclusively under the control of Senater McDonald, ex-Gov. Hcndjpksaud William Fleming. If the ex-governor was net a cordial superter of his fellow citizen as a candidate for the vice presidency, his Sersenal appeal te the Democrats of In iana, written upon the lotter heads of the state committee, calling upon the Democratic voters te rally ami support the ticket, was a manifesto thai should nevex have been written, and if Mr. Hendricks has aspirations it is net improbable that this will be brought up against him. The work Of Cel. Dudley, his energetic labor in getting out of the ordinary rut and interesting ministers, school teachers, and ethers iu the cause, had the effect of bringing together a new clement that had never befere taken a part iu political con tests ; the correctness of the reports sub mitted by them was fully proved. The reports received from the Democratic cor respondents were substantially the same as furnished years before. The publica tion of the Republican poll in a Demo cratic ergau was no doubt A very shrewd move, and ene that contributed no little' te Republicau success. The truthfulness of this extraordinary history of the cam paign in Indiana will without doubt be de nied by many of both parties who we're net in a position te knew hew Indiana was carried by the Republicans. The story, however, is based upon the statement of one of the principal actors en the Repub lican side a well-known and responsible citizen of Indiana, who was intrusted with delicate .responsibilities during the famous contest, who was the messenger that carried the Democratic poll-book te Menter, aud who te day has in his posses sion letters of the highest commendatory character written by the murdered presi dent. Democratic managers who contrib uted se largely te the success of the Re publican party are expected te deny the statements made, but the authority upeu which they are based comes directly from such.a source as te preclude the possibil ity of a successful denial of the facts as given abpve. X Hey's Letter. Forwarded te the Autner or KeouMeutlena of a Drummer Hey." The following letter was forwarded by the publishers of St. Nicholas te Rev. -Harry M. Kieffer, of Norristown, author of "Recollections .of a Drummer Bey, published in that periodical : Second Menth, leth, 1832 Te the Editor of St. Nicholas : I have been much' interested in reading "The Recollections of a Drummer Bey." In your last number, " Feb.," he gives a sketch of the battle of Gettysburg," and en their return te Va., he speaks of a town iu tli- northern part of Va. by the name of V.'aterferd. In seeiug the name of that town I called my mother's atten tion te it. She was vdry glad te see it meutiened ; hut was very sorry tbit there was net mero said about it. Mama was born there and lived thore all through the war ; and it was the greatest Union town in the Seuth?. Mama says nobody loved tha Union soldiers better than the people of Waterford. I should thiuk she did ; for she married one of them. Papa was a soldier in the army all through the war. He was at the battle of Gettys burg, tee, but came through without a scratch except the rheumatism, which he get id prison and has had ever since. He was under the command of Gen. Kilpat riek. But I must ceme te the object of my letter, and that is whether iu passing through Waterford he saw any girls hand refreshments te the soldiers. Mama was one of them. J. W. IT., Jr. P. S.
