Blue of this city, having made arrange
ments to be addressed by General DURBIN
WARD and Colonel JOHN NJ. CoNNELL, who
had fought with them for the Union,
paraded the streets, molesting no one, and
made gallant show. In passing the build
ing near the corner of State and High Sts.,
occupied, in part, as the headquarters ofthe
Grant Tanners and of the Republican
party, stones were hurled at the process
sion from the roof of the building, and men
who had periled life in defense of the
Union were severely wounded. .., ..i.r..
The Democracy OF Indiana, who in mass
meeting assembled In Indianapolis, had
during the day, listened to the eloquent
and patriotic speeches of Gen. F. P. BLAIR
and GEORGE H. PENDLEToN, had a torch
light procession, the same evening. At the
same hour, if not the same moment that
the White Boys in Blue in the capital OF
Ohio were stoned from the hiding place of
lurking scoundrels on the root of the Re-
publican Headquarters in this city, the
procession OF Democratic White Boys In
Blue in indianapolis passed the Headquar-
ters of the Republican party, and were
also shamefully insulted by the vagabonds
of that organization, Missed ON and en-.
couraged, in that city as in this, by men OF
higher standing, who had a greater
stake in the rattle r. of politics and
property than their dupes. The
White Boys in Blue, used as they were, to
fighting and chastising bushwhackers,
made for the assailants. Major KILGoUR,
a gallant soldier-a White Boy in Blue,
who had fought the battles, as he supposed
for the Union, rushed forward to prevent
the shedding of blood, and while in the act
of entreating the soldiers to forbear. was
struck with hatchet, cutting his nose SO
as to disfigure him tor life. The would-be
fled into the Let Us Have Peace"
headquarters of the Republican party, and
thus secured, for the time being, his scoun-
drelly neck from gracing halter.
These outrages on the white soldiers of
the Republic, committed by party calling
itself, par excellence, the soldiers friend
happening, as they did, on the same day
and at the same hour-commencedb by the
same class of men, in front OF the Repub-
lican Headquarters in the Capital of Indi-
ana and Ohio, 1SS miles apart-both aimed
1T soldiers who vote the Democratic ticket,
seems much like preconcert-as if that
lay and that hour had been set apart in the
;wo cities to insult, to MAIN, if not to mur-
Ter the gallant men who fought the battles
of the Republic for the Union, and who
low refuse to bow to disunion Radical,
supremacy and negro rule OF white men.
If the two outrages were not premeditated,
md the whole plan concocted and carried
INTO effect by the party leaders of the ."Let
rs Have Peace" party, it looks wondrously
ike 1t. If not T. q ~r 4
sCan such things be
And overcome us like q summers cloud
Without our special wonder p tIrC-- b.
IT such is the 'sPeace" the Radical party
would doom the land to, Heaven save the
Republic, and in His infinite goodness, God
nave mercy on the souls of the men vino
thus attack their fellow men, for, if per-
sisted in, they will soon need His good |
ness To save them in the hoIir of their
