GILLAM.

In.the Gillam items in last week’s Republican, “Patrick” said, among other things, that Lewis Hubble, of Francesville, speaker at a Populist meeting held at Center school house, in Gillam township, Saturday evening, May sth, eulogized Coxey’s movement and said that it was another John Brown march, and that Republicanism was forever dead, exonerated the Democratic party from all of its misdeeds and attributed the hard times to

the Republican party and Harrison's administration. Patrick said some of these statements were proven false by Republican boys present. The facts in the case are that some toughs from Medaryville and Cillam, who had more bad whiskey than sense came to the meetin'g for the purpose of breaking it up. Hubble only said that Coxey and his men had as good a right to go to Washington as anybody else so long as they behaved themselves; that the two old parties were so much alike that it was almost impossible to tell one from the other. The Republican boys made no argument, whatever, but only caused a disturbance by their drunken threats. They were too drunk to prove anything. Such conduct is disgraceful and will not be tolerated by our law-abiding citizens. If any more disturbance occurs the perpetrators will be prosecuted. Bridget.

It is in the field and camp book of General Sullivan, of the Continental army, and in it is recorded the history of the famous march in 177 U from New York and Wyoming and up the Susquehanna valley to punish the Tories aud Indians for the Forty Fort massacree.
