FRANKFORT. Ind. Nov. 5.-The Demo-
cratic rally to-day. that has been adver-
tised for weeks, resulted In discouraging
display. Small delegations were here from
Boone. Upton. Madison and Howard
counties but the "grand rallies" that W ere
once the pride of the old-time Democracy
of Clinton county did not begin to ma
terialize. There was q great deal of gun
powder burned, plenty of tanglefoot drunk
and more or less of disgusting exhibition
on the streets. AS political demonstra-
ton, in numbers or voters, it
has been the browning disappointment
of the very dismal Democratic campaign
in this county. The Isaac Pusey Gray boom
was carted around the square, and In the
afternoon Isaac Pusey gave a calamity reci-
tation in the Columbia Opera-house. To-
night Judge Baldwin worked OFT his bile
on a suffering audience. He preached free
trade. The campaign here closed tonight,
and the Republicans will carry the county
by an 1888 majority.
