ESPECIAL BY TELEGRAPH TO THE RxcoRD-uSIos.l
CHICAGO, October 11th.- The Tri5une's
Indianapolis special, referring to the Shelby
vile riot, says: If there be spot in the
North more unlike the North, and more
thoroughly resembling political hell-hole of
Mississippi. it is Shelbyville, Ind. Most APP
propriately has it been christened 1.-THE
Yazoo of Indiana" There was Republican
meeting there yesterday, and as usual Demo-
cratic ''hoodlums endeavored to break it
up. They were repulsed, but the trouble
broke out afresh later on. The stories are
about as contradictory as they could well be,
the Democrats claiming that their man was
shot by young Republican named Kennedy,
whom he had arrested and was taking to the
station-house. Whether this is so, or whether
stray shot from Democratic weapon in the
rumpus did the work, the whole affair is only
another bloody commentary of the daredevil
ism of these Northern Yazoos. Everybody
prevailing sentiment also is that it was the
inevitable outgrowth of the system of things
which is supposed to be tolerated only in the
swamps aud on the plantations of Mississippi.
The Democrats will attempt to make q deal
of capital out of it, however. Their organ
here will come out draped in mourning, and
Governor Hendricks will go down to Shelby
vile to counsel moderation or something else.
The money character of this campaign can be
readily grasped from the pretty well anthem
ticated statement that 81, 600 was sent out
Yesterday to the Democratic boss OF each and
every school district in the State. As there
are several thousand districts in the State,
some idea may be had OF the size OF the Dem
ocratic pile.
A DASTARDLY PLAN.
CHICAGO. October 11th.-The TrDune's In
dianapolis special says: The Democratic
managers and certain well known officials
have banded together for the congenial pur-
pose of carrying out the following dastardly
nlan to prevent decent men from recording
their will through the ballot.box:
First-The Democrats propose to 90 earliest to the
polls get possession OF the iue and vote say 1000 OF
their men first
Second-The Democrats who shall have voted are
then to withdraw from the polls and gather at
place agreed on at q convenient distance.
Third-The Republicans are to be harrassed and
annoyed by being challenged, and quarrels are to
be gotten up with them, and with their neighbors
VINO swear to their right to vote.
Fourth-Shoulder- strikers and DULLES from abroad
are to follow with blows and bring on general u.s.
turbance, which is then to be called a riot.
Ffth-To suppress this bogus and manufactured
riot the Governor OF the state Is TO De called on ior
troops at the polls.
Sixth-An officer of the State is understood to
have already formed q Democratic secret military
organizations to enable the Governor to respond to
the call.
Seyenth-Itis an army OF Democratic conspira
tors secretly organized in midst. who tosbe
the early voters on Tuesday morning, and who are
to then withdraw TO am appointed place
Eghth-At the rendezvous OF this Democratic
army there is to be full supply OF State arms aud
ammunition ready for use.
Ninth--A riot, socaed, which will be simply an
assault on the citizens by hired thieves and assassns
Is to be carried ON until the balotboxes in Repaid
lican wards can be seized and. rifed, or changed,
while all The time the Of the State will be used
for the purpose of aiding this hellish scheme 10
destroy the rights OF the people
In significant comment on this satauic
piece of ingenuity, the journal says: We
tell the leaders and loafers of the Democratic
party that, if Governor Williams shall dare
attempt to turn the arms of the State against
the breasts of citizens at the bidding of the
solid South, and in company with the Grim
inal classes of the North, the men OF Indian
apolis, yea and of Indiana, will, with majesty
and might, meet them bullet for bullet.
THE INDIANA OUTLOOK.
DENVER tCol.), October 11th.-The Times
special from well-known correspondent
saws After canYassing all parts of Indiana,
it is my opinion that the Republicans will
carry the State by handsome majority. A
large one would surprise nae less than de-
feat The people are wonderfully excited.
Meetings of 1000 and 20, 900 at little coun-
try towns are the rule. The Democrats are
greatly exasperated. l was at Muncie Sat
urday night, when the meeting was attacked
by rou2hs. The preparations to prevent
fraud seem to be commensurate with those
made to perpetuate it. The Democrats have
been so long accustomed to buy votes in the
State that they have come to count those pur.
chases as q legitimate majority. They will
have to buy them again if they get them this
year, and at advanced rates. On the other
hand, almost every township in the State
shows Republican gains. These are nearly
all young, sound business men. In some
parts good many Irishmen have come out
as Republicans. Among the new voters we
have apparently decided advantage. Do
not be surprised if you hear of trouble in
more than one place. The Republicans are
thoroughly organized, and do not mean to be
run over by roughs, nor allow any Southern

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
DISCOURAGED.
CHICAGO. October 18th The Tribune has
a special giving a conversation between Bar
mum and Crittenden, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor of Missouri, overheard
recently. The latter said Landers had APP
parently lost his grit. The tariff, he feared,
would lose him thousand votes. Another
e
den, is the unpopularity of English. and the
bad blood existing between him and Governor
Hendricks Landers believes Hendricks
would rather lose the State than see English
elected. At the mention of English the mule
buyer opened out, charging him with being
the meanest, littlest man in the nation.
THE VOTE IN OHIO.
CHICAGO, October 11th.-The Tribune's
Cincinnati special says: The vote in Ohio
Tuesday will be the largest ever cast. twill
reach $50, 000-possibly 700,000 Last year
the total vote was 669, coo, and the Republi-
cans carried the State bya majority of ), l54,
and plurality of IL, 129. A large vote
always means in Ohio Republican victory,
and as rule the larger the vote the greaterth
victory. I am inclined to think the size of
the Republican majority on Tuesday next will
surprise those who are figuring on very close
contest. 1nere has DetH uO campaign III
Ohio in which the people as whole were SO
deeply interested since the memorable Val
landigham campaign of 1868. There is an
undsrcurrent of feeling running very strongly
in favor of the Republicans.
THE "HERALD" BECOMING ANXIOUS.
New YonK, October 11th.-The Herald
to-day says: There is urgent necessity that
the President of the United States return from
his long pleasure trip on the distant Pacific
coast to his post of duty at the seat of Gov
eminent. Matters that require his vigilant
personal attention are fastening to possible
crisis. In at least two States political pas
sions are inhamed to such pitch that threats
of violence have been publicly uttered.
There is ground for anxiety, if not alarm.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PEACE.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 11th.-A meeting
of prominent citizens was held at the Grim
iual Court-rosm this morning, to take meas.
ures to secure a peaceable election tomorrow.
