Disgruntled Democrats Try to Make Tronble
at a Soldiers Reunion.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WABASH, Oct 20.-The soldiers reunion at
the opera-housel last night wound up with a de-
cided sensation. While Hon. Stanton j. Peelle
was delivering his address he took occasion to
~criticise in severe terms the brutal treatment
which the Union soldiers had received at the
hands Of President Cleveland. The Democrats
present Immediately made a show of indigna-
ton, and one, named Horn. residing at Jones'
boro. jumped mp and started on a run for the
stage door. Divining his intention to kick up a
row, County Recorder Chris Mikesell and Owen
Sullivan grasped him and forced him back into
his seat. Mr.. Peelle, in the meantime calling to
the gentlemen to let him come on, as he was
capable of taking care of himself. The sudience
at this point was thrown into confusion, but
quiet was restored and Mr.. Peelle proceeded.
Nelson g.. Hunter, a prominent Democrat
OF this city, was down on the programme for an
address, and when the president asked if Mr..
Hunter were in the audience, he arose quickly
and said: Eyes. sir, Mr.. Hunter is in the audi
ence. but he alphabetically declines to take part
in a Republican meeting. He has been grossly
deceived and will now retire" and, together
with a number of other Democrats, he fed, fol-
lowed by a storm of Kisses.
The affair was much regretted by the man.
ayers of the reunion. but, with few exceptions,
Mr.. Peelle's course is warmly Endorsed, and Mr..
Hunter and DR.. Horn are eensured for their in
discretion. The twaddle sent the Cincinnati
Enquirer relative to the disruption of the Grand
Army Post here. by the speech Of Mr.. Peelle. is
stuff and nonsense, and but few, if any, Demo
| gratis will leave the organization.

OUEERLY KEPT BOOKS.
General Rosecrans Furnishes the Text for a
Republican Campaign

Republican Campaign Document.
Washington Special.
General Rosecrans, the register of the Treas
ury, has furnished the Republican congressional
committee with the text for another campaign
document. In response to q House resolution q
statement of the balances due TO and from the
government vas issued from the Registers
Office in time to be sent all over the country as
a campaign document by the Democratic COM
mittee. Ths statement showed q very
from its officers during the Republican
regime, indicating a great deal of dishonesty.
In speaking of his report to the reporter of a
local paper. General Rosecrans, In explanation
of a recommendation that the government open
q book of balances" acknowledged that this
statement represented only apparent balances;
that In many cases the accounts had been hon
estly settled. though it appeared to be other
wise. Secretary Mcpherson, the secretary of
the Republican campaign committee, is making
use OF this confession, and is writing a very
severe criticism Of the action of the Treasury
Department in putting out without explanation
as authentic q statement known to be incorrect.
1t seems that since the book was prepared
many persons who appear there as having money
due them from the government have appeared
for settlement. and the department has been
greatly annoyed to explain that there was really
nothing due them, that it was merely an zap
parent balance" 1t was only by the merest
chance General Rosecrans confessed that ne

heavy d~efaulter to the government When he
came to look over the books Of the department
before making the statement, he found his name
for $50, 900 due the government on his accounts.
He was Mortified at the sight.
He knew he had settled with the department
seven years before. The idea of appearing be-
fore the public eye as a defaulter made his blood
run cold. The department was searched from
top to bottom for some evidence of the settle
ment of his accounts, and just as he was about
to give up in despair his vouchers were found
stuffed away in a pigeon-hole, never having been
entered on the books. This givos the suggestion
to Mr.. Mcpherson that many others equally as
sensitive Of their honor might in the same way
have been saved from appearing as defaulters in
a statement authorized by the government.
This attracts attention to the fact that some
branches of the book -keeping in the department
are very defective. About three weeks ago it
was discovered by chance that a part of Rock
away Beach, which had just been sold to a party
of spectators for $500, 600. and which was being
negotiated for by a railroad company for 500. 900
actually belonged to the government, having
been acquired in 1872 through the State of New
York. There was no record of the transaction in
the Treasury, and the discovery was made only
through the attorneys Of the railroad, who were
looking I'D the title.

Mr. Barry left last night. AS early as last
Thursday he had his mind made up as to the po-
sition the strikers held. That night he made
some which he requested should not
DO published, for the sake of law and order.
Now that the strike il over the statements are
given. He was asked il he thought the strike
was justifable, and said: 'The men are certainly
in the wrong. They are a thick-headed,. hot
headed mob, and need some one with a rod OF
iron TO rule them at least three months. If |

ing they would not play the part So great is
their hatred for the non unionists that they
would not obey me. There is no discipline
amongst them. They ars q bowling mob. Til
make those three men sweat for it when this is
over. The orders of the Knights Of Labor are
imperative and must be obeyed. ! can't handle
