Isom Wray Sues the ShelbyviIle Republican
for Heavy Damages.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYvILLE Sept. 17Mr. Isom Wra
a Democratic politician, of this city, in revenge
for the skinning that he has received from
Charles X Matthews, editor of the Republican,
in the last few issues.of that paper, to-day
brought $4,000 libel suit against the Shelby
Printing Company Mr.. Wray will, as a prorni-
nent Democrat said to-day, get out Of the suit
wind, and large amount of costs and attorneys
fees to pay This suit is but continuation Of
the trouble which eliminated in the assault
made by Will Wray, son of Isom Wray, on Mr..
Matthews on Monday evening. The editor de-
tends his attacks on Mr.. Wray as follows:
Our articles on Isom Wray were drawn out
as counter attacks by his shameful and unwar-
ranted-attacks on our independent Democratic
friends. When man enters on an aggressive
political campaign, and vindictiyely assaults the
candidates of the opposite side, he must expect
retaliation. When men 60 around traducing
our friends they may expect that we will give
them the best that we have in the shop. This is
the persistent statement of Isom Wray and others
that our independent Democratic friends are not
candidates on our ticket in good faith, but are
simply paid by Republicans to run for the pur-
pose of disorganizing the Democracy, and to be
swopped off in behalf of the Republican candi-
dates The editor of this paper would be the
last to eountenance such an infamous scheme. and
no one knows better than he how contemplate
are the falsehoods that have been reported on
this subject. The man who says that they are
not bona fide candidates, but have been hired to
run, shall receive from us nothing but the he
direct, when we hear of the circulation of the
infamous libelsr
