meeting was held here yesterday and was ad-
dressed by Col. Cash. the Independent and Re-
publican candidate for Congress. who was a
short time ago tried for the murder Of Judge
Shannon. whom he killed in duel. About the
close of the meeting difficulty arose at the
stand between white Democrat and colored
man. which resulted in the former being
wounded in the head by blow from stick or
a stone. At this time two or three pistol shots
were fired near the stand. but no one was hurt.
Soon after this large procession of colored
mon on horseback came upon the streets. one
Of the number having q largo pistol buckled to
white man and said: Thero is the d I'd ras-
cal who did the shooting. The white man
gave him the lie. and the colored man drew his
pistol and fired at the former. Immediately
several shots were fired by white men and the
colored man fell dead. number OF shots
were then fired by white and colored men. and
three other ..colored men were killed and many
wounded. The authorities soon succeeded in
restoring quiet. which now prevails. 1t is be-
lieved that the trouble Is over.

the belief Of many Republicans that
Mr.. Sherman's work has not been
without its good results. Murat Halstead. who
has all along opposed Foster g. Co.'S mode Of
campaign work. says in the Commercial to-day
that there is a very large chance to carry this

vises the German Republicans to scratch the
head Of the State ticket. or all Of it II they

for the Congress and County tickets.
Neither Senator Harrison nor Ben Butter
worth. who followed him. paid much attention
to the State ticket In their speeches tonight
The Indiana Senator ignored it entirely and
Butterworth referred to it only casually. The
Indiana Senator paid some very kind compli-
ments to the Arthur Administration. and asked
the people IL there was anything in the present
administration OF national politics to lead them
to desert the party. 1t is believed that his
speech did quite as much rs 1t was possible to
be done to stem the tide Of German disnffection.
