the Republicans. A large number OF
repeaters have already been arrested by
the deputy marshals and they are
being guarded in the government

brought In patrol wagons Ivy the police,
which added to the excitement. There
has been considerable shooting in the

teenth wards. In the latter q deputy
marshal shot a deputy sheriff in the
head, causing a severe wound, but not
fatal. In the Eighteenth, Democratic

deputy sheriffs and bystanders, and Ee
the latter were largely anti Republican
the colored men were quickly defeated
but not till number of shots were fired
The cry of Lynch the negroes" was
raised, and the crowd rushed into the
next street after the few colored men in
sight. One was caught and beaten near
ly TO death. Another was struck In the
face with q boulder and his face mashed
He had not been about the polls, but was
passing along the street. In this dis
