and the rife, and with these he was

Ny attention was called to an article in
abe Cincinnati Enquirer with the above
named "euphoneous" caption, in which, If
was to follow, we would expect to find that
ahe Democratic party OF Indiana was torn to
flinders, the leaders gone mad and were after
each other with razors, tomahawks and scalp
ing-knives. After reading the article al
most involuntarily looked to the head of the
paper, to see If were not reading the Com

so well to see the Democracy OF Indiana all
torn up and divided that it grasps at every

hired to herald to the world things that
never tlanspired and magnify the merest

rapid dissolution OF our party in Indiana.
Any Democratic paper that was interested
in the welfare OF the party would have re
fused to publish such things until il was an
much less would they have published such
ball-faced lies. that never had q shadow OF
foundation. The Democracy Of Indiana
should most emphatically cit down
on the Enquirer for such con-
temptible injustice toward our
people, and they owe il to the party to do

ST. LOUIS October 1.-THE most seri-

men was the stopping of eight cars on the
north end of the Broadway line by q mob
and the driving away Of the conductors and
drivers. The police were soon on hand and
about dozen arrests were made, Some
rocks were thrown at tie cars. but nobody
was hurt. On the southern end of the
same road lot Of brick boulders and two
or three sections Of l6-inch iron water pipe
were placed on the track. The cars were
stopped and great crowd gathered, but no
harm was done to anybody. No arrests
we're made.
The track of the Bellefontsine line was
also obstructed, but the car men were not
interfered with. More than 8 dozen torpe-
does were put on the Olive street line after
9 o'clock tonight, and their explosion by a
car passing over them, caused some fright
among passengers, and three ladies tainted,
but that was the extent Of the damage.
