The Republicans of Greencastle and Putnam County can get little satisfaction from the meeting today. They had advertised It widely m an all-day meeting. They had made strenuous efforts to arouse cnthui iasnt and to get out a crowd. Friday, while the big Democratic meetim were In progress, Chairman Zeis an 1 Harry Smith were laboring ovei th long distance telephone to get Spooner to keep his engagement here. They promised him a good crowd and every inducement. But Spooner ha I a case of cold feet and it require' I much persuasion to bring him here. And then the promise in regard to a crowd was not kept. A band wabrought in tills morning, and began playing shortly before ten o'clock. Then the crowd, or what pas.el for i crowd, lost ilself in the assembl room. Seeing only half a room full of people the party leaders resorted to many expedients to kill tine hoping that more would come in. O H. Smith gave the history of his political experiences, old soldier wetcalled to the platform, but all avail (>d nothing. Tiie crowd did not come, and Samuel Spooner, Assistant-At-torney-General of the United States, was called to the task of talking to half a room full of people. After he had been speaking some fifteen minutes a count of those in the room showed 150. And this was the morning meeting of the much-talked of “nil-day speaking.” Mr. Spooner's speech was a repetition of the matter heard here from Griffiths and others. There was the attack on Bryan, the attack noon the bank guarantee, the speakers doubtless forgetting that their hearers could read and that Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Gage, and other eminent Republicans were for the guarantee. He gave the usual unreliabb' statements as to panics and prosperity. Really it is no wonder that hearers do not crowd to hear speak ers declare llilngs that the Republl can press daily contradicts.

At two o'clock the afternoon part of the “all-day speaking” began. Tin session was held In the court roon and was much better attended than the morning attempt under the man agement of Spooner. The speaker ol the afternoon was Montiville Flow ers, the impersonator who lias several times appeared upon tin' platform of Meharry Hall. The fact thai many citizens iiad paid to hear him before made Iho chance to hear him today free* of cost seem very attract

ive.

It xvas an excellent illustration ol college oratory. Mr. Flowers gave the impression of having studied well his part. It was a speech given for oratorical effect, without conviction behind it. The periods rolled well. The splendid voice of the speaker rose and fell in excellent cadences, hut behind it all was no earnestness of conviction. He spoke as he has spoken here before, to entertain, not with the truth as his goal. It was a splendid address from the side of rhetoric, gesture and voice. It lacked conviction. Mr. Flowers stated that he had no interest in i he campaign. Of course he forgot to mention the large salary per speech that he receives from the Republican campaign committee. He purposed to apeak from the standpoint of a citizen who would lose or gain nothing by the defeat of Bryan.

Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Allen, Jr., en lertained a number of their friends last night at a delightfully informal party, given in honor of Mrs. Emory Lease of New York. After the pleasures of Hie evening refreshment were served e that smacked strongly of Hallowe'en. The piece de resistanci of the evening was pumpkin pie and milk -pumpkin pie that tasted like more and milk so rich that some who were not used to such diet felt rather hilarious after the feast. It was most enjoyable pre-Hallowe'en affair.
