CHICAGO, Nov. 22-In the Leman-Brand
State senatorial contest. in which there have
been allegations of fraud, an application was
made this morning before Judge Blodgett of
the United States District Court for an attach
ment to compel the county clerk to go before
the fedelsl grand jary With the ballots and
poll list. This the court declined to do, bat
entered an order directing the county clerk to
show cause ON Monday next why an attach
ment should not issue. The county board of
cauvassers this afternoon decided that 1t could
not go behind the returns and that the vote
would have to stand as returned, giving Brand
(Dem seat in the State Senate, and allow
ing the Democrats majority in both houses,
leaving the Senate itself to decide as to the
question of fraud in the returns. Whether
the proceedings in the federal court have any
bearing on the case as it stands is not known.
The returns will probably go to the State

transaction of bogus firm known among the initiated
as Kreitine Gapen & Co.. may be given. The name

A MASS MEETING CALLED.
MonitOr-JOurnal Shiel Issues Call for
State Temperance Convention.

As was announced several days ago by the
Shiel faction of the temperance party, Mr.. Shiel
has issued a call for State convention as fol-
lows:
The undersigned has received the names of 80, $50
voters, authorizing him to append their names to
call for convention to nominate State ticket the
prohibition platform providing of the existing
parties adopt prohibition an issue and nominate
ticket in favor of it.
Under existing circumstances, and under the names
OF those voters mass convention of the men and
women of Indiana favoring constitutional and statu
tory prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intox
eating beverages and in accordance with the call men
TONED above, is hereby called to meet in the city of
Indianapolis at 10 o'clock A. M, the oath day of
July, 1884.
1t is neither desire place to dictate This
will be convention Of these people to desde what is
best to do. All persons who not in sympathy with
the purposes Of the call will of course not participate
in the proceedings. M. E. Shell,
Editor Montor-Journal.
1t will be noticed that the call does not desig
nate the meeting as a nominating convention
but refers to it as "a mass meeting at which the
best course to be pursued will be determined
upon" 1t is proposed to exclude from the meet
ing all those who do not favor the nomination of
third ticket, however, and among these are in
cluded such men as DR.. Houser, j. B. Conner
Eli Ritter and others. In card to the News of
yesterday DR.. Houser, in referring to Shells CALL
says:
1t is stated that IS, 800 voters have signed call
for convention to nominate prohibition ticket If
this be SO, is it not well enough for the temperance
people to know who they are and how many will vote
the ticket it is not well to depend too much upon
all who sign such calls? would suggest the idea of
these names being handed to committee of, say, Dr.
H. L. Brown, j. B. Conner and Hon. Barnabas
Hobbs. Let the names be carefully counted and in
yestgated before we base platform and ticket on
them.
