On Saturday, the 2Sd instant. the usually
quiet and orderly village of Shelbyville was
for one day made the scene of unrestrained
and licentious outrage, such as is rarely seen
in community claiming the title of civil
lied. Under the guise of Republican meet
ing, a bowling horde of white and black
hoodlums from this city appropriately dressed
in the scarlet uniforms of the Hayes and
Harrison guards invaded the town, and
during their stay, riot and debauch,
plumber and rapine. drunkenness and licen-
tiousness high-handed outrage and unbri-
died insult held high carnival in the startled
town. Men were assaulted and women in
suited in the public streets. Private houses
were invaded and stores were sacked.
Property was rayaged and persons insulted,
and all the varied forms of outrage that
could be devised by the fertile brains of
two thousand Radical desperadoes were
heaped upon the unoffending citizens of
Shelbyville.
On the following morning, one
week ago to-day the Sentinel
published succinct account of this disgrace
full affair sent by special correspondent in
whose accuracy we had the best reasons for
confiding. Following the impulse of its own
mendaciouS instincts, the Journal denounced
our statement as campaign lie, and its
assertion was echoed by the whole
troop of big and little papers and politicians
of the Sitting Bull stripe. Assured of the
trllstworthiness Of its correspondent, the
Sentinel maintained the truth of his state
ments, and is now prepared to submit ire
fragable evidence that in this account, de-
nounced campaign lie. not one half the
disgraceful truth was told. In another col
umn appears long list of sworn
affidavits from prominent citizens Of Shelby
vile. including many of the victims, show
ing that the state Of things as it actually ex-
isted during this scandalous riot was but
feebly depicted in the telegram of our cor
respondent. The story as set forth in these
affidavits Is painful one to eAery
good citizen and friend of order. and
damnmg one 10 the Radical party
leaders under whose manipulations it took
place The occurrence illustrates the meth
ods to be employed by the Republicans to win
the present canvass, and is a foreshadowing
of what may be looked for in other places
than Shelbyville and on more momentous
occasions than Sitting Bull glorificatiOn
meeting. The Democracy has reason to
congratulate itself that its opponents have
shown their hand so soon. Their excuses in
Shelbyville have arrayed against them the
whole of the better sentiment of that place,
without regard to political faith, as they will
the whole better sentiment of the state when
the facts become more widely known. The
state of Indiana can not be carried for any
political party by policy which relies upon
force and intimidation. violence and outrage
as arguments at its meetings and at the polls.
