The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1884-10-29
The Outrage Mill.

In keeping with the policy of the Re
publican party as indicated in Mr.
BLAINE's speech at Fort Wayne, Ind,
printed elsewhere, the following lying
kilograms have been manufactured in
this State and sent to Republican news
papers in the North:
JACKSON, Miss, October, 19.-Demo-
Gratis in portion of the Sixth Mississippi
District, where Hon. Jon. r. Lynch, and
in the Seventh District, where Hon. j. B.
YelIowIy are Republican nominees for
Congress, have began systematic intimida-
ton of Republicans. In Wilkinson coun-
ty, strongly Republican, in Lynch's dis.
trict, Winchester rifles, furnished by the
Democratic State government have been
distributed to every Democrat who would
receive them, and reign of terror is
inaugurated. Mr.. Lynch's friends met him
on his way to speak in that county, and
implored him not to come into the county,
knowing violence and bloodshed would be
the inevitable result. Mr.. Lynch thereup-
on cancalled all his appointments in that
county.
Last night in Crystal Springs, Copiah
county, the same county in which Print
Matthews was murdered at the election last
year, Republican meeting was to be ad-
dressed by the Hon. John B. Yellowly,
nominee for Congress Judge Mcmillan,
Republican candidate for Elector, and
Hon. james Hill, Collector of Internal
Revenue. Mr.. Yellowly. attempted to
speak, when q mob of Democrats threw
bottles and brickbats, mingled with most
opprobrious epithets. He was forced to
leave the stand. Making his escape to a
hotel accompanied by few friends, he
was pursued by the mob, who continued to
throw missiles of every description. All of
the party were more or less bruised, and
one mans skull was fractured, from which
he will die. Yellowly took refuge in a
barber shop connected with the hotel, and
while doing so was fred at several times, !
without fatal effect. He re-
manned concealed until the midnight train |
arrived when he succeeded in eluding the |
mob and got away.
1t is not probable that the Republicans |
will poll many Blaine and Logan votes in |
Copiah and Wilkinson counties. In the |
Third or Shoe-string District where Hon.
A. G. Pearce is the Republican nominee |
for Congress, and the Republicans have
about $4,000 majority, the same reign of /
terror has been inaugurated by Democrats,
who have distributed Winchester rifles in
that district.
Leading Bourbon Democratic organs and /
speakers in that district openly advocate
violent methods to carry the election. The
more intelligent Democrats have given up
all hope of the election of Cleveland and
Hendricks, and are directing all their en-
srgies IS send solid Democratic Congress
sional delegation, in order to cotrol the
next House of Representatives.
CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Mss, Oct 20.--Last
Friday night Republican meeting was
held here, which was loyaly attended, and
1t which Col. Yellowly was the principal
speaker. The meeting was interrupted by
he bourbon Democrats, and one colored
nan was stabbed severe blow on the side
# the head with some sharp instrument and
will probably die. The meeting was I'm
lily broke up and Col. Yellowly went to the
lotel to await the train to go to his home
When the train arrived he started for the
ars, but had hardly got outside, when the
Democrats raised yell of "Catch him
nd kill him." Alarge crowd at once
roke for Col. Yellowly as If the shout had
ad been signal. and be was caught and I
ragged away ont of the town and has not |
cen seen since. It is believed that he was {
murdered.
One Of the foregoing dispatches is as !
ne as the other, and both are false. t
hat liars these Republicans be! Q
