GREENFIELD, Ind, Aug. 29.-There was
silver rally advertised here to-day quite
extensively. The Democrats seem 10 be
ashamed of the name Democrat and do
not use Ii, but call their gatherings silver
meetings. The meeting to-day could not
pe called great success, as with all their
Efforts the fair grounds at no time had
more than 100 people present. Hon. John
@. Shanklin addressed the meeting In a
no solid argument nor made any points
that would be remembered. This was a
Democrats remark who four years ago Ia
yored Shankin for Governor when the
Evansville editor was proclaiming Cleve-

only crowd enough for one il was held in
the opera house and addressed by John
Overmyer. He spent the greater part of
the time denouncing the ''crime of 13' and
the Republican party. Overmyer made
speeches for the Republican party for many
years after 1873 and many years after this
infamous crime was said TO have been COM
mitted. He remained with the Republican
party until the party became disguised
with his continual running for office. After
he was turned down few times he turned

pointed superintendent OF the Union Rail-
way Company and the Belt road. which po
sition he held until the appointment of A.
A. Zion as superintendent. two years ago.
The deceased was a competent railroad man
him. some OF whom took advantage of his
kindly feeling toward them some times, to
the injury of Mr.. Whitcomb. In speaking
of him Col. NJ. A. Downing, who was gen.
eral manager of the Belt road at the time
Mr.. Whitcomb was appointed superinten-
dent said he always commanded a good
salary. but was so generous that he gave
the most of il away to heip his friends. He

Enchanted by Watson.

WINCHESTER. Ind. Aug. 29.-Congress-
man James u. Watson addressed one of
the largest. if not the largest, audience
ever assembled in this city at a political
meeting tonight. Gordon's Rink. which
will accommodate over 1000 people, would
not begin to hold the crowd which for over
two hours was fairly enchanted by Wat
sons eloquence and logic. Delegations
were present from Lynn and Huntsville.
The former place sent its famous glee club
and brass band and the latter place
glee club. Mr.. Watson showed the utter
fallacy Of the United States attempting to
force the free coinage of silver Independent
of the other great powers. His speech
carried conviction TO the minds of his
hearers. He proved that there is no such
thing commercial independence for any
nation and that If such a thing were pos
sible it must inevitably result in retrogreS-
sion and national death He showed the
consistency of the Republican party on the
money question and showed that the party
and its gallant leader had always been the
friends of silver. In contrast with this he
showed the inconsistency of Democracy.
But after all she showed beyond question
that the real question for the considera-
ton of the people is the industrial ques-
ton and that can only be set right by
carrying out the protection ideas of Will
liam Mckinley. There has never been a
greater political speech delivered here and
IL was listened to by Democrats. Populists
and Republicans with equal interest.

The Grand Jury yesterday afternoon
held one of those mysterious sessions th at
people read about. Captain Spillane was
there as mum as an oyster. Harry
Reynolds of the police force was as quiet
as clam, and Detective Crocker SEEM ed
oppressed by the possession of a great
secret. J. Jacob jacob of the house of
Lachman & jacob was one of the wit
nesses. E. S. Ciprico superintendent for
Lachman & Jacobi, was another witness,
and there were others.
Harry Reynolds was sent downstairs
for package of edged tools, and the i'm
plements were duly exhibited to The Grand
Jury.
Word was sent out by the Deputy
Sheriff for Judge Slack TO wait, as the
jury had an important communication for
the court. Word came back that Judge
Slack was downtown and that Judge Heb
bard would receive the report. In due
time the Jurors went into court. Indict-
ments were filed against Meyer and Max
Livingston for perjury in connection with
insolvency proceedings. The testimony
which led up to these indictments was
fully published in last Saturdays CALL.
was such thick cloak of secrecy. was
gainst Frank Darragh for grand larceny.
The case was in the Police Court
the public by its importance. The
simple story is that Frank Darragh is
accused of stealing $500 from the firm of
Lachman e. jacob. He was indicted, and
Judge Hebbard, who was told by Assist
ant District Attorney Peixotto that the re-
porters were present, directed the indict-
ments to be placed on the secret file. A
bench warrant was issued for each person
indicted and bail in each case fixed at
$4,000.
Frank Darragh is supposed to be living
in Berkeley. During the six or seven
suspicious postponements of his case he
has not deemed 1t expedient to change
his residence, put an apprehension was
expressed that he might skip out if he
was advised by the newspapers that the
Grand jury was after him.
Witnesses testified yesterday that money
was drawn from the bank by the firm of
Lachman & jacob for the purpose of pay
ing employees in the winehouse and cooper
shop. One sack containing $500 was placed
in a ommode or stand resting against the
partition of the office. 1t is surmised that
Darragh cut q hole in the partition a day
or two before the money was placed in the
commode, and at the moment OF opportu-
nifty grabbed the sack.
The Health Department Committee of
the Grand Jury-A. E. Drucker, w. F.
Mau and Richard Pecht-recently paid a
visit to the Pesthouse. Grand Jury expe-
ditions to this institution are like angels
visits, short and bright and few and far be-
tween.
The fnalreport OF the present Grand Jury
may be submitted to Judge Slack day or
two before Christmas. Committees are
now engaged in preparing their reports.
