lenged any republican to stand before the

House ut GreencastIe.

GREENCASTLE, Oct. 20-Special-
The Hon. john E. Lamb addressed the
democracy of this city last night and the
court room was so filled that not an
other person could have been driven in
with IAN old-fashioned knot maui" Il
was by far the best night meeting held
here this campaign by any party. Ever
since the campaign has opened here the
managers of the republican party and
the party organ here have been crying.
The democrats won't turn out this year;
what's the matter with yOu?" But since
Senator Turpie's day meeting and the
Lamb meeting they have subsidized. They
have also quit talking about The McKin-
ley bill and sugar. Some Of the repub-
lican gang are in the habit of whisper
ing to those who are not acquainted with
them that they have always been dem
ocrats, but intended voting the repub-
lican ticket this year" The papers here
have exposed some of them for this game
of confidence they are attempting to play.
Do not be alarmed about the result in
''Old Putnam" She will do her duty
Nov. 6. Every man on the county ticket
will be elected and George w. Cooper
will get his usual majority.
