appears to have gained about as much IS it
has lost. The pell of the State already made
by the Republicans gives them majority of
%, 900, and il Is sRid that the Democrats gen.
orally concede 20 per cent. of that. A close
fight is being made in several Congressional
Districts. There was very successful Dem
ocratic decentralization in Columbus last night,
with a procession and two mass meetings.
THE sHELByyIILg RIoT-FULL DETAILS OF
THE AFFAIR.
CHICAGO, October 1Oth.-The Times Indi-
annapolis special gives an account of the riot
at Shelbyville, Ind, yesterday, resulting
from an attempt of Democratic hoodlums to
break up the meeting which was addressed by
General Ben. Harrison. At an early hour
the people began to gather in the city in large
crowds. A large number Of Democrats were
on hand, and began TO parade the streets
yelling 'sHurrah for Hancock, by God p and
other similar expressions. They tried in
every manner to insult the Repub-
licans and cause a fight. By noon
they became boisterous, after indulging
III a liberal amount of whisky, and began to
thirst for blood. Hon Gilbert De La Matyr
spoke to a fair sized crowd of Greenbackers
at l o'clock, but mob of drunken Demo-
Gratis disturbed the meeting to such an extent
that the speaker was compelled to stop. This
was on the public square. Soon after a fight
took place on Broadway between a party Of
Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats
had been hurting epithets at the Republicans,
and CHANGED to strike the wrong party of
men. They refused to be bulldozed. A gen.
eral fight ensued, and the Republicans
came out first best. It would be i'm
possible to give description of
the rows that took place during the after
noon, as they followed each other in rapid
succession. The Democrats also fought
among themselves. During the afternoon q
party Of Democratic ruffians boldly paraded
the streets, swearing that '' No Republican
should boiler for Garfield The bullies
were checked in their threats, however, and
soon stopped. 1t seemed as If the Republi-
cans had concluded not to be bulldozed any
longer. and the insults were one by one
resented About o'clock row took
place in Hardebroke's saloon between
party of young Republicans and Democrats.
A posse headed by Sheriff Albert McCorlle
rushed into the saloon, and after few
knockdowns the fight was stopped without
any material damage. McCorkle then, it is
said, took Ed Kennedy, a young Republi-
can, who was in the fracas, by the arm and
walked down the street At this time o
crowd rushed up and another general fight
took place, during which two shots were fired.
One struck Sheriff McCorkle in the breast,
the ball passing through the upper part of
his lung and CHANGING into his shoulder, and
it is claimed was fired by young Kennedy.
The stories are of such contradictory nature
that it is difficult to get at the truth of the
matter. A man who was an eyewitness to
the occurrence said in the presence of the
Journal reporter that he saw McCorkle fire
the first shot. After he was shot he was car
ried to the residence of r. +. Flaitz, where
he now lies in dangerous condition. His
wound is reported as fatal.
