There is no exaggeration in this statement, as any number will attest. Mr. Patterson spoke for two hours, was closely listened to, and hig remarks were loudly applauded. Everything parsed oil pleasantly. The great numbers present were unexpected, but indicates the »nt. Test the public are now taking in political atl'urs. urnal Solin Wingate saw the vast cr i.vd an.' was appalled at its size, lie is lining to get up a counter demonstration to offset the one of Monday, but the chances of equalling it in numbers and heiealter mutually determined, tlie p'•

Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of yesterday asking 1110 to discuss tho entiro platform of tho democratic and republican par ies, permit me to call your attention to the agreement already made between myself and your committee.

On August 2"-!d, 1 addressed an open letter to your committee propositi.: a discnssiori of certain propositions debated by Mr. Vater and and myself. The propositions referred to were as follows: "First evening. Doeu the welfare of tho citizens of the United States, tho stability Knd integrity of the nation require tho free and unlimited coiuago of silver and gold at tho present ratio of sixteen to one?" "Second evening. Would the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present ratio of sixteen to one bo dishonest, unjust and detrimental to the welfare of tho citizens and the integrity and stability of our government

the proposi

tion to discuss for two evening* l.ho propositiono recently under discussion by yourself and Mr. Vater is hereby ac. cepted. As soon as arrangements can bo made with the gentleman '.'ho will represent our side, wo will be pleased to meet you and fix the time as well as the place for said discussion.

Yours very truly.

O N N I

My open letter and your reply constituted a I'etinite agreement for a discussion of a clearly defined issue. This agreement clearly provided that tho discussion should take place between myself and a representative of your party. For nearly six xveeks your committees havo recognized this agreement and havo professed to bo arranging to perform your part of it, and I havo been ready at all tunes to perform my part. Your new proposition is simply an attempt to cover up your "back-out" of the agreement you have already mado, Tho truth is you have no man in your party who is both competent, and willing to defend tlu position of your party on tho "Money Question."

Personally 1 sympathize with you and the excellent gentlemen who compose your committee, because it is hard to advoeato a cause which can not bo defended before an intelligent public. You must either furnish a man to delend tho position of your party 011 the money question or confess to tho public that you have "backed out" of your agreement.

'I hi'suit of Dr. E. VanCleave, of Parke county against Fountain county for medical services in the Shanks murder caso has been beforo tho Circuit Corut this week here on a change of venue. An autopsy was mado on the body of Clara Shanks shortly after her death, in Fountain county, aud to make the work satisfactory and permanent, it seems to have required five different physicians to make it effectual. Throe of these demand £.'0D each for their work, while two, more modest, ask only 6150 each, making a bill total of 81,'JOOwhich tho commissioners of Fouutain county absolutely refuse to pay. Hence the suit. Tho action brought by Van-•: cleave is a test of tho rest. If he succeeds tho other four will at onco prosB their claims by suits for their services in tho caso—if unsuccessful, tho matter will bo dropped. A number or witnesses from Fountain county wore present at tho trial this xveok. Tho Shanks caso seems to be never ending, and the last, expenses in tho caso seem along distance off.
