Grantism for hire, and he is about as
poor specimen of long-winded great ora

second-class talker, but when party gets
so scarce Of talking material that it ele-
Yates him into one of its frst-classes it is

THE Shawneetown Mercury in speak
ing Of the threats Of the Shawneetown
negroes to assassinate Rev. Mr.. Shores
says
Now we cannot believe that there is n
solitary colored man in Shawneetown who
would offer the least violence to Mr..
Shores or any other Greeley man. Mr.
Shores was here some years ago preaching
and made some unwarranted charges
against the colored Methodist church.
calling them horse-thieves and robbers. For
this conduct he is not held in high esteem
by the Methodist church but to say that
he would be mobbed, or that q threat to
that effect had been made is to charge our
| colored men with that which is slanderous
| in the extreme. We call upon The Bull
LETiS to publish the letters threatening to
take Mr.. Shores life. If they are not
| forthcoming Mr.. Shores must stand con.
victed of willful lying. In proof that
there was no disposition to interfere
with Mr.. Shores right to discuss
the questions-at issue between the parties,
the court house was secured for the
discussion by the Grant and Wilson col
ored men. Some had suggested that the
discussion should take place in the grove,
but the committee in charge of the matter
SAID "no y that they "wanted the discus
sion to take place where order would be
an assured fact The Grant and Wilson
men even went so far to oblige Shores
as to change the time of holding their
ratification meeting. These are facts in
the case, and he who says that any attempt
was made to intimidate Shores states that
which is untrue.
We do not know whether Mr.. Shores
will consent to the publication of the
threatening letters but we do know
he received such letters. We
read one letter begging him to not visit
Shawneetown, and saying his life would
be sacrificed to the blind fury of Grant
negroes if he would not regard the warn
ing. The name of colored person, we'll
known, was signed to this letter. Since
Mr.. Shores received the first letters Of
warning and Of threats, he has obtained
information that certain Cairo Grant
colored men were in correspondence with
certain Shawneetown Grant colored men
urging his assassination Is il improba-
bic they would do so? Would those
members of the Grant Club who were
caugh. in the act of burglary
the other night hesitate? Would that
member OF the club who said the other
day ~ would like to take club and
beat out Old Shores brains-beat them
all out, hesitate' Would Conway, the
threatener, hesitate? Why, Lusk don't
know our Grant negroes. They are an
ignorant, lawless set. If they were not
afraid, they would burn the house Of every
Greeley man in Cairo, and cut the throat
Of the owner.
