the window in the left opening upon the
school-room, which was we'll filed, the door in
the right opening into the log cabin, and the
standing multitude in front Toward evening
the delegations began to como in, mostly In
wagons, but many on foot. They came from
all directions within o radius OF fifteen miles.
The Democrats had secured special train
from North Vernon for their own meeting at
Nebraska, and the agent was ordered to sell no
tickets to Republicans to the great wrath OF the
North Vernon people who wanted to attend the
Republican meeting. Finally, about f:3O
o'clock, the Republicans secured a train OF their
own, and boys were sent through the streets
shouting that now the Republicans bad got their
train and could 60 TO Nebraska. There was no
time to dress or prepare, everybody started out
as they were, ladies and all, and in twenty
minutes the train was full. When they ar
rived at Nebraska an immense throng had al
ready collected Mr. Fouke had been talking
about half an hour, but was compelled to stop
on account of the cheers which welcomed this
new and unexpected delegation, and 1t was
some time before he could proceed. He was
followed by Mr. Morton, who was listened to by
as attentive and appreciativs an audience as
ever assembled. The meeting broke MP about
half past 10, amid tremendous cheering. The
Democrats, too, had a very respectable gather

WAS addressed by Jason Brown. AT the Repub-

Special to the Indianapolis journal
DANvILLE. Sept. 1.-THE following appeared
in the Indianapolis Sentinel this morning under
DAnvills date and the general head Of Indiana
news:
Considerable weight has been attributed to the de-
serton at this point of heretofore Democrat 10 the
free-whisky party. The facts OF the that a
certain mechanic in the employ of a hardware firm
told by his employer four years ago that if be
voted for Cleveland his wages would be reduced The
mechanic voted that way. and the gentlemanly en-
ployer kept his word by reducing the mans wages in
the of So per week. Being threatened again
this year with further reduction and not being will
ing suffer the loss OF another $l04 of his yearly
earnings, he has been forced TO succumb. aud has
consented to vote for Harrison.
The alleged facts in the foregoing IRE so
vaguely stated that it would be hard 10 enter .
specific denial. This much can be said, how
ever: That IL 1T refers to any hardware dealer in
Danville, Ind, ii Is brazen falsehood IN every
particular, except tho fact OF a conversion In .
certain instance. Let the Sentinel correspon-
dent name the parties referred to and your cor
respondent will fu rnish indubitable proof that
the main statements are silly and malicious
falsehoods. The only hardware store in town
that could have been referred to by the reporter
10 that of John W. Dooey. His timer John NJ
Fitzgerald, voted for Cleveland four years ago,
but now declares that he will support Harrison
and the Republican State ticket. He is an hon.
est hard. working man, and has been nine years
with Mr.. DooIey. who, be delarss has always
treated him with the utmost fairness.
He denounces the statement in the Sentinel tif
applied to himl as contemplate Islander upon
his employer and himself The story was
the purpose of creating . false impression with
out making the writer responsible. Let him be
specifc-or even say he means q hardware deal
