GRosSCUP's DECISION.
On the Motion to Quash Indictments
Against Santa Fe Officials.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-In the United
States district court today Judge
Grosscup handed down an opinion on
the motion to quash the indictments
against the Santa Fe for alleged viola
lions of the interstate commerce act.
The indictments were upheld in part
and quashed in part.
John A. Henley, general traffic man
ager of the Santa Fe, and ex-Presi-
dent Reinhart were adjudged to have
been properly indicted on two counts.
Those counts set forth that from April
to November, 1892, the two officials
violated the act by giving rebates and
drawbacks The Indictment as to Mel
son Morris was quashed on the ground
that the rate was a discrimination
against shippers by the railroad and
Morris acceptance of the rate in no
wise made him guilty of discrimina-
tion..
The indictments against Isaac
Thompson, the Kansas City shipper,
and Manager Jenkins. of the Ham
mond Packing company, were quashed.

in accepting a rebate and is the first

nit without a stubborn fight and pro-
badly appeal to the higher court.

train bearing the Bryan party left this
city for Chicago at 8:13 o'clock this morn
ing. About 500 people assembled at the
station to give the nominee parting
cheer. Gov. Matthews, Chairman Mar
tin of the state Democratic committee
and party of prominent Democrats ac-
companied Bryan as FAR as Nobl Esville,
Ind. where the first stop was made. A
stand had been erected in the center of
the main street, and around it were gath
cred several thousand citizens. Bryan
was introduced by Judge Davis, and
said:
This campaign is resulting in more po-
litical changes than any of the recent
campaigns. We are told that the Demo-
cratic party is losing some of its most
prominent men. We are told that the
Democratic party must succeed, If it
succeeds, without the support of certain
former Democratic leaders, but we re-
joice, if we are to lose Democrats, that
we are also to gain from those who have
not heretofore acted with the Democrat
ic party. There is this difference be-
tween those who go from us and those
who come to us: Republicans are able
to act with US without changing the
convictions of lifetime, while the Dem
ocrats who go from us have to desert all
that has been. Democratic in the past.
(Applause.) The Republican party four
years ago declared that the American
people, from tradition and interest. were
In favor of bimetallism. If the AA.srican
people were in favor of bimetallism four
years ago. why should they not be in
favor of 1t today? Aye, my friends, not
only was platform declaring in favor
OF bimetallism adopted four years ago,
