DESPERATE RIOT.
Miners and Negro LabOrerS
Battle in Indiana.
A THOUSAND SHOTS.
Many Men Killed and Wounded.
the Town in Turmoil and
Panic-Troops Hurried
to the Scene.

Virdin, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-The ar
rival of train load of imported
Negro laborers from the South at
1890 this afternoon, was the
signal for desperate battle.
Nearly thousand shots were ex-
changed between the striking
miners on the one side and Sher-
if Davenport and deputies on the
other.
In the stampede it is difficult
to tell the number of the dead,
but it is conservatively estimated
at tifty-five miners and six officers
killed and a dozen fatally
wounded.
Governor Tanner orders two
regiments hurried here and they
will arrive tonight.
The fighting is yet going on in
that section and the town is terror
stricken. Men are securing what
ever arms they can get hold of,
expecting to use them for their
own protection if the trouble
spreads. The women and children
are running to their homes and
barlicading the doors.
Some of the wives of the dead
miners, however, decline to 90 to
their homes and are almost mad
with grief and anger.
1t is said that the miners were
fired upon from the stockados
after the train had gone through.
Mayor Nall has sent messen-
gers to Girard for doctors and
nurses.
Governor Tanner wires forbid
ding the unloading of the imported
labor. He says the mine owners
are responsible for the carnage
and shall be indicted for murder.
Special trains are now hurry
ing here from Springfield and
Chicago.

FIGHTING AMONG THEM-

One Caval. yman Killed, = Fatally
and 2 Seriously Wounded.

Huntcrsville, Ala, Oct. 1.-THE
Tenth cavalry (colorcd) arrived
from Montauk ttls morning and
had not been off the train an hour
before some of its members be.
came involved in a difficulty with
the provost guard. One man was
killed and five wounded, two
fatally.
Soon after the men left the
train one of the cavalrymen went
to Il house frequented by white
men and attempted to clean out
the place. He was arrested by a
corporals detail of four men of
the provost guard. The arrest
was quickly noised about and the
negro cavalrymen attempted to
rescue the prisoner. The first
man who advanced toward the
guard was halted and as he
turned to run was fired upon.
Firing then became almost general
and continued several minutes.
Cor2'l Mclaughlin, Co. l.. Sixth
infantry, commanding the detail,
was killed at the first fire. Private
f. Wiles, Co. NJ, Sixth infantry,
was shot in the knee and Private
Larkin, Go. l.. Sixteenth Infantry.
received ball in the leg. Wiles'
leg was an,pGtated later at the
hospital. Private James Gleeton,
troop M, Tenth cavalry, received
bullet in the spine and will die.
Two other Tenth cavalrymen
whose names arc not known, were
wounded, one of them fatally.
The affair would have bean at
tended by more serious conse-
quences had not mounted platoon
from the Tenth cavalry scattered
the beligerent negroes with drawn
sabres.
The white soldiers here enter
tanned a very bitter feeling against
the negro troopers and it is feared
trouble will occur whenever the
two races meet.
The Tenth was given camp
situated more than a mile from
any other regiment.

If Chairman Tolbert of the
Republican State committee is a
man of intelligence he must know
that he is holding out to the ne
grocs OF South Carolina most
delusive hope. The Republican
party of the north has finally and
forever abandoned the policy of
interfering with the suffrage in
the southern States; it has finally
and forever abandoned the negro
to the control of the white men
of the south. Public opinion in
the north sustains all legal and
constitutional methods by which
the intelligence and the property
of the south maintain ascendancy,
ard it is heartily sick of the COM
plants that come from this sec
tion. That is the plain and proven
truth. Any negro party IN this
State exists merely to provide
government places for its man
ayers and supply of delegates
to be suitably bribed at national
Republican conventions. - The
State.

The young men were neatly

convict, and the information that
they were sentenced men brought

"SUPPRESSION OF THE
BALLOT.'
The Keynote of the Fight the
Republicans Will Make
Chairman Tolbert Is
sues an Address.


lican executive committee, has
just issued the following address:
To the Republican Voters of the
State
The continuation of the Repub-
lican party in the control of the
affairs of the nation is of vital i'm
portance to the American people
at this time, and they have to con-
gratulate themselves upon the fact
that at one Of the most critical
moments in the history of the ma
tion a wise, considerate, humane
and patriotic chief executive in
the person of President VIM. Nc
kinley, presided over the affairs
of state and brought our country
honorably and safely through It's
trying period of war.
The present State administers
tlon and the present representa-
tives in congress from this State
owe their socalled election to the
suppression of the ballot by a
criminal notification of the con
stitution and laws of the United
States. This iniquity suppresses
the political voice of 100000 vo-
ters of the Republican party of
the State and bears the stamp of
a double crime because of the
false color of legality given by
the State constitutional conven-
tion of 1895.
The vice, crime and immortality
of this Iegalized iufamy has been
connived at so long that at last
the Democrats of the State have
come to regard the right of the
ballot as belonging exclusively to
themselves, and the outgrowth
of such views is expressed openly
at times Of registration and on
election days in South Carolina.
Republicans of the State look
with impatience for the proper
correction of these evils by the
Republican party, which is now
in control of the three branches
of the national government; for
it cannot be believed of q party,
pledged to the protection of the
rights and liberties of the citizen,
that it will not eventually see its
duty and exercise all It's power
and authority in making such
pledges effective.
A free and honest ballot is the
foundation stone of our Republi
can form of government and when
the present congress comes to pass
upon the election cases Of Repub
lican contestants now pending we
believe that it will accentuate its
disapproval of the lawless meth.
DDS used to secure the return of
Democratic members from South
Carolina ard thus compel fair
elections in this State.
1t is deemed wise and polite to
await the results of the reaction
which will eventually set in in
South Carolina and will retire
those who are prominent in the
commission of crimes against suf-
frage, and until tins condition is
brought about by the action of
congress, we deem it best to re-
f-ain from nominating a State
ticket, at least for the present
year, and your State executive
committee has so decided.
We gladly call your attention
to the fact that reunion of all
Republican elements in this State
has been effected and those who
separately contended for the main
tenance of Republican principle 8
