lFrom an Indiana letter in Cincinnati Gazette.]
Pike county is a model Democratic conn-
Is. IL Is The Yazoo of Southern Indiana
worse. il possible, than some OF the be-
niehted sections OF Dubois county. Here
are few specimen bricks:
DIR. Louis Bethel Is prominent Demo-
cratic politician at Arthur and was elected
20 a county Office four years ago 10y the De-
inocratic party. On Monday last DR.. Bethel,
on the public streets OF Arthur, publicly
shouted and hurrabed for JEFF. Davis. He
said: "Jefi. Dayis Is the greatest patriot
that ever lived. He is better man than
Lincoln, or Grant, or any other man who
fought on the Union side" Further he
said: alt is the purpose OF the Democrats
IN the South TO kill every Republican in that
section. and after the election to come North
and kill every Republican in the North"
This DIR. Bethel also runs saloon and
shouts for Landers as loud as he does for
JEFF Davis.
At Cross. Roads, Pike county, Democrats
declared no Republican meeting should be
held there. Hon. Joseph Barker went there
last Friday night to speak. Five hundred
Republicans were present. When MIR.
Barker was speaking Democratic bully
named William +. Campbell, who had with
him gang OF bulldozing Democratic shout
der.hitters, called the speaker liar, and
then pitched in for fight. Had 1t not been
for the prompt manner In which these va
zoo bulies and bulldozers were disposed
OF by number Of stalwart Republicans IA
bloody scene would bave followed.
Louis Loveless, Of Pike county, is rene
gade Republican who went over to the
Democrats. He was advertised TO address
a Democratic meeting at Stafford school
house Saturday night. The gray-back
Democrats notified him not to attend. But
he went, and while he was speaking these
Yszooites shaved his horses tail and other
wise abused the poor animal.
Hon. j. ID. Barker came over TO the Re-
publicans from the Democrats. Last Mon
day be went to bis fathers house for
change OF clothing and brief rest from the
campaign labors be has been engaged in.
He was attacked 10 the house suddenly and
Unexpectedly by his brother, Douglass Bar
ker, and Vincent Willis, both Democrats,
because OF the change in his political views,
knocked down and beaten, and afterward
bis two ASSISTANTS tried to shoot him with a
double-barrelled shotgun. Mr.. Barker leap
ed from a window and fed, and thus saved
his life.
This is the way that the Democrats are
carrying on the canyass in Pike county,
Indiana. IL was never worse in Yazoo,
Miss. And all these outrages are perpe-
trated In the interest of Franklin Landers,
himself q supporter and defender in the
Legislature Of the reasonable sons OF lib
erty.

In respect to our national manners, how.

wise friendly Britisher "remains an Eng

10 conceal the fact that as people he re-
CARDS us as having the worst manners In
the universe. American men are not polite
even to their own wives. by Joye! lie has
often watched elderly married couples at
hotels. The old lady would sit in rocking
chair fnr hours, looking right and left,
while the old man would be of somewhere
else with bis feet kited up in the air,
reading a newspaper and smoking cigar,
"as far away from this world as though he
were a Mohammedan Sheik absorbed in
prayer" The way Americans frequently
neglect and disregard their wives in public
is absolutely shocking to the foreign travel
Ter. In Europe, no matter how Indifferent
husband is 10 his wife at home, before
folks he is careful 10 treat her with "lOv-
| ing politeness that will satisfy her amour
prOpre." The following passage In the
embellishments letter is commended to Anne
rican husbands. The wretch should be
slaughtered
"Perbaps no other nation entertains so
high a respect for the fair sex as the Anne
ricans, but many Of them have yet to
learn how to show it by polished manners"
He finds the beauty Of American women
dazzling, "dumbfoundering," he says.
But they are extravagant beyond descrip-
tIon." He observed one lady that appeared
in twenty-tbree different costumes in one
week.
He finds us very practical, methodical
people, without any fancy or imagination.
But when it comes to naming race-horses,
he is compelled to admit that we grab after
the ideal. He is astonished, solemnly
amazed, at such horse names as "Siolen
Kisses" Charlemagne," and Lady Wal
lace"
