Most appropriately hua st been chbristencd * the Yazoo of Indiana. Thore was a Kepuvtican nieeting there yesterday, and, ox usual, the Deinveratic “hoodlums” on- deavored to break it up. Thoy were repulsed, but tho trouble broke out afresh Inter on, and ended in tho shouting of-a Demucratic Sherif by the name of McCorkle, who died early this niornlug, The stories of the affair arv about as contradictory as they could well be, the Demo- erates claiming that their mun was shot by A young Republican named Kennedy, whom he had arrested and was taking to tho station. Whether this bo so, or whether a stray. shot from a Democratic weapon fn the course ot the rumpus did the work, tho whole affalr is enly another bloody commentary on the dure- deville of those Northorn Yuzous, Everybody: regeets that there was any bleod shed, but the prevailing sentiment, also, fs, that it was tho {nevituble outgrowth of o system of things which ia supposed tobe tolerated only In the awiinps and on tho pluntations of Misatseippi. Tho Democrats will attempt to mako adeal of capital out of it, however, Their organ here will come out DRAPED IN MOURNING in the morning, and Gov. Hendricks will go down to Shelbyville to counsel moderation, or something cise. It bus been suggested that, while the Sentinelis aboutit, it might ay well wait untll Weduesday morning, when the Dem- ocratic heavens are exceedingly apt tobe bung with Diack, and then come uut with its Inky cloak and its funeral column rulce, It hss been oa dey of rumors. Tho Democrats heard in somo way or other, or imagined they did, that thelr Executive Committee was to be arrested, and Barnum invited to loave the State, When night came and nothing dropped they felt casier, The Ho- publicans, on the other band, wero a good deal workod up by tho rumor that Gov. Williams. had organized six or seven new militia com- companics.’ Dilleent inquiry failed to. bring anything Uke a conticmation of the rumor, Senator Dorsoy, Sceretury of the Kepubtican National Committes, who is stlll here, received atelegram from Cincinnuat! to-day announcing the prevalonce of 4 story thore that no less than 1,500 pistols had been consigned to’ him for dise tribution and use on election day by tho Re- pubticans. THE ONLY PISTOLS Mr, Dorsey owns, or hus anywhere, are a couple of Colt’s navy revolvers which he left out on bis Colorado cattlo-ranche several months ago, for the protection and amusement of the “caw. boys," and the pistol story, which originated In Cinelnuath and was in tne developed bere, of course hud but ono purpose—nuimely, to Infurl- Ate the Democrats ana serve as a pretext for calling out tho militla. THE MONEY CHARACTER of this campaign can be readily grasped from from tho pretty well authenticated statement Ubat $100 wero sent out yesterday to the Demo- cratic boss of cach and every school district in tho Stato, As there ure several thousand dis- tricts in tho State, sume {dea may bo had of the sizo of tho Democratic pin, EVIDENCE OF HEPUDLICAN CONFIDENCE isnot more accumulative thin are the Indica tions that the Democracy ure alarmed and de- spondent, On tho surface they appear and talk very confident, and during the day several have boon very oxtravayant in tholr catlmnted ma- Jority, But botween themselves the leadors aro very apprebensive, Their poll of the Stato Is dovldodiy unsatisfactory, and thoy realize fully that the drift ia aquinst them.
