There was a public meeting of Camp
Gray the Democratic veterans organiza-
ton, in the Criminal Court room last night.
Less than one hundred persons were pres
ent. But little reference was made to local
affairs by any of the speakers. w. w.
Robbins, president of the camp, presided.
He spoke of the purposes of the organza-
ton.
Ex-Pension Agent Spencer spoke for a
half hour, contrasting the Republican and
Democratic parties. The most startling
thing he said was that the Democratic
party regards a public office as public
trust while the Republican party regards
a public office as a private snap. Mr.. Spen-
Ger made no reference to the way he turned
old soldiers out of office or to the munich
pal campaign. The monotony Of the even
ing was somewhat relieved by a recitation
by Edwin w. Spencer, son of City Chair
man w. w. Spencer
Fl. e. Bell, formerly of Washington, dis
cussed the money question for an hour. He
revamped about all the stock arguments of
the free-Silver orators of last fall. The gold
standard, he said, meant scarce money and
that meant dear money. Lasting prosperity
was an impoSSibility, he declared, under the
gold standard. Mr.. Bell said that it would
perhaps be improper for him to talk of city
affairs as he was new man, comparatively
speaking. He declared that all the charges
made against Mayor TaggartS admnistra-
ton had been disproved. While not author
lied to speak for the late presidential can
didate, Mr.. Bell said that he knew both
Mr. Bryan and the chairman of the ma
t1onal Democratic committee were satisfied
that Mayor Taggart had done everything
within his power last fall and We're both
anxious to see him reelected Mr.. Bell pre-
dicted that when the sun goes down on
election day Mayor Taggart will be a vic
tor. His encomiums of that prince of
good fellows" aroused the only enthusiasm
that had been displayed during the evening.

THE PARK SCANDAL.

1t was Mr.. Bookwalter who told the
story of the park deal and gave some of
the unwritten history connected with that
gigantic enterprise. He began by telling of
the plan to purchase Mayor Taggart's bog
land south of the Belt Railroad, for which
the city was to pay $500 an acre. Then he
referred to the claim of the Democratic
organ that Mr.. Taggart, in letter to the
park board prior to April s, insisted that
his land must not be considered. Along this
line Mr.. Bookwalter further said:

OtiiCes-is % of tho features of the Chica-

large number of people, who, knowing OF
these files, are constantly wanting either
the whole or "a portion Of the articles they

Of these requests aro for articles of very

There is probably nothing in the library
that is the source Of more request than
these files of Chicago newspapers, and
there Is certainly nothing more closely

HARTFORD, Jan. 19.-The depositors Of
the suspended banking firm Of George p.
Bissell & Co. met behind closed doors yes
terday afternoon and listened to a report
of the investigating committee. The re-
port showed that Albert II. Olmsted,
senior member of the firm, had overdrawn
his personal account nearly 3 1000, or
more than enough to wipe out his share
of the capital stock. His salary was 5000
a year, but he was in the habit of drawing
considerably in excess of this amount.
Olmstead' home is filed with art treas
ures, some being Of most costly descrip-
ton. Shortly before the bank suspended
Mr.. Olmstead's relatives Withdrew their
deposits.
