specIal to the IndianapolIs journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE. Ind. July B.-For the
pest week ex-senator r. c. Bell. chairman
of the late Indiana State Democratic con-
vention. has been insisting through the
papers that James NJ. Robinson. Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, define his
position on the silver question. Robinson
lodged the question in every way possible,
but at length was driven into an inter-
view. wherein he still evaded the leading
question. Bell would not .let up" and
went after him again. threatening to put
a silver candidate in the field if he did
not come out 'square-tced' for silver.
This morning he threw up his hands and
with an exhibition of weakness not often
witnessed. came out for silver in the fol-
lowing card
Dear Sir-I cannot see how any one can

and other questions. / indorse and will
maintain the principles announced in our
State and national platforms. The voters
of every county in this district will hear

stump. j. NJ. ROBINSON.
Bell announces that he is satisfied at last
and now Robinson can depend Cd the solid
vote of the silver men. This places Rob-
inson in an embarrassing and dangerous
position He will lose nearly every Ger
man Democrat in the district. besides all
the gold Democrats. and these combined
far outnumber the silver men and Popu-
lists and undoubtedly insures the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Leighty.
The campaign is beginning to warm up
in Allen county. The danger of the silver
excitement is fast disappearing and pub
lie sentiment is making itself very ma
terally felt in opposition to the Chicago
platform. The farmers have read up on
the question and are being convinced that
free coinage would result diSaStrOuSly TO

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-One of the
fiercest rate wars ever waged in the South

affects mainly the Southern railway. but
it directly or indirectly involves practi-
caly every railroad east of the Missis-
sippi river and south of the
Ohio and Potomac. The first for
NAL step looking to retaliatory ac-
ton is the issuance OF call by Commits

roads comprising that body for meeting
to be held some time next week, either
in Atlanta New York city. The place
of meeting has not yet been fixed but il

roads will take any steps to meet the cut.
There will probably be twenty or twenty
five roads represented at this meeting. in
