COLUMBUS, October 16.-The Democratic
State Committee issues an address declar-
ing that while the result of the election is a
disappointment it may have the effect of
stimulating the Democratic party to activ-
ity, declaring that the whole Republican
party was concentrated against the Democ.
racy in Ohio and Indiana, with all its Off
cial. and monetary power, repeaters, super
visors and imported blacks, swelled to un-
~precedented numbers far beyond the census.
They coerced employees, raised false cries of
rebel claims, ETC., used money shamelessly,
and yet gained only slightly over 1879. The
Democracy gave $50, 900 votes, the largest
they ever polled in the State, amounting
almost to victory. The conservative voters
should now stand firm. They also appeal
to the soldiers, working men, and all others
not to be led blindfold into the Republican
trap. They express fond hopes that Cali
fornia, Nevada, California and Oregon, will
give Democratic majorities, and urge that
every Democrat do his whole duty.
PHILADELPHIA, October IA Times
Wilmington DELI special says The af-
fair between the negroes and Democrats is
more serious than was expected. II seems
that while the Democratic Club was
marching past a hall in which the colored
people were holding a festival, two bricks
were thrown at them from the sidewalk.
They halted and organized for q raid, when
two shots were fired simultaneously on the
club from the colored mems hall, and a
fierce .volley succeeded this demonstration
from the same quarter, which wounded,
slightly, several Of the club. Muskets
loaded with buckshot were used, The
whites at first broke and ran, but soon raj
lied, and for two or three minutes there
was a hot interchange of shots, when the
negroes were routed and pursued by the
paraders, the air being filed with bricks and
stones directed against all the colored
houses and churches. There were many
other minor injuries. The negroes finally
made a stand, and the whites were only de-
TERED from attacking them by the police.
The latter were not allowed to approach,
and the negroes dispersed when they saw
fit. They congregated again this morning,
and when the police tried to dispense them,
they resisted, causing some injury to the
police, who finally captured one negro, and
prevailed on the rest to go home. The
Mayor has been urged to prevent night pa
rades in the future, but doubts his author
ity. 1t is feared that trouble may yet en-
sue.
PHILADELPHIA, October II. - Speaker
Randall has been locked up all day with
Senator elect Malone, of Virginia. Wal
