A Rattling Ratification.


Special to the Sentinel:
GREENFIELD, Ind, June SO.-Notice was
sent out yesterday that the Democracy OF
Greenfield would ratify the nomination OF
Hancock and English tonight. Although the
time was short, the Court House was jammed
full of people, all eager TO show their interest
In the cause; and not only was the house full
but the streets were full of people. The Green
field Band furnished some excellent music.
The meeting was called to orcer by DIR.
Selman, Chairman OF the Democratic Club
Hon. John A. Finch, of indianapolis, was first
introduced, and proceeded to open the ball
pohtical-in Hancock County. He spoke OF
the candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, as presented by the Democratic party to
the people, stating that they were men against
whom nought had been or could be alleged
men pure and trustworthy in every respect
Proceeding further on this subject, he referred
to General Hancock's celebrated order at New
Orleans when he referred to the fact that there
was no armed force there to contend against,
all opposition having been overtbrown, and
that the civil authority must take precedence
of the military. He also averred that this
campaign would not be run on the military
record OF General Hancock, but upon his
record as a man in favor of civil liberty.
Passing fIom this subject hastily, he re-
ferred to Order No. 40, which referred to the
jury test In Louisiana; also, in regard to mill
tary interference at elections. He next re-
ferred to Garfield, and showed his reasons for
opposing him, because he had been minister
and abandoned his calling, and learning the
art of war.
Hon. Cass Byfeld was next introduced to the
audience, and proceeded to deliver
an eloquent and pleasant speech
10 those present, and one that
not only reflected credit upon the speaker,
but will do much to set the issues of today
squarely before the people. His remarks
were listened to eagerly by all in attendance,
notwithstanding the uncomfortable condition
| OF the hearers.
Byneld made many friends by his speech, as
was evinced by the numerous and hearty
| cheers given him during his discussion
| As the halt of the people in tins city DESTROYS
OF hearing the issues presented could not
| get into the Court House, Hon. j. A. Finch
was called out and addressed an immeI Sc
