MR.. MORGAN ON SILVER.
The Alaoama Senator Speaks for the
Stewart Free Coinage Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Mr.. Morgan
Oem., Ala who had given notice thtt
he would address the Senate on the silver
question, called up the unfinished bust
ness Senator Stewart's bill for the free
coinage of gold and silver
Mr. Morgan prefaced his remarks by
stating that he did not iptcnd To make a
silver speech, bnt simply wished TO sub
NIT some preliminary remarks He
wanted to hear from the Minneapolis
Convention before doing so. 1t W like
ly that the Senator from Ohio (Mr Shcr.
mani would be conspicuous figure
there, at which many darts would be
fired, and he, too, would like to fire a
few darts at him.
Mr.. Morgan said he had something to
say to his friends on the Democratic side.
The State of Alabama, he said, had always
been Democratic except once, when it
cast its vote for General Grant agai st
Horace Gree'y. With this exception that
State had been Democratic until yes
terday. Whether it would be Democratic
to morrow he did not know. Yesterday
something happened that brought to him
a mourLful suggestion of the future.
There was going to be some difficulties
In smoothing out the troubles there
These difficulties were not personal or
political, but came from dissa isfaCtion
OF the farming community in that State,
who had felt the pressure of want amid
great abundance. They dreaded the visits
of the tax gathcrers. The people Of Ala.
bama had done all they could to uphold
the Democratic party, which they believ-
ed was in favor of broadening the money
system of the country. They relied on
the Democratic party to relieve them
from these difficulties. because they be
ileved the Democratic party was for sound
money, based on the equal free coinage
of gold and silver Mr.. Morgan briefly
reviewed the formation of the Farmers
Alliance, noting its objects and scoring

had in its ranks, he said, lot of schem.
ing politicians, who presented a number
of wild schemes to the people, including
the Ocala platform. He would inform
his Democratic friends that if they could
do without The vote Of Alabama in the next
election they need not listen to him The
trouble in that State was traceable direct
ly to the fact that the Senator from Ohio
(Mr. Sherman) had been able TO demone

Not until the Chairman of the convention

by applause, which was renewed as Mr.

IA Genuine Surprise.

Yesterday morning Chief Rhodes Of the
Ere department was taken completely by
surprise and entirely overwhelmed by the
presentation to him Of fine silver gold
lined speaking trumpet. the gift Of the
fire boys. AtllilO am. fire alarm was
sent in from Dox y, corner of Twenty
fourth and Washington avenue and ins-
mediately the department from both sta
lions responded. The chief was sitting
talking 10 Mayor Turner in the latter's
Office and when the alarm sounded he
supposed fire. Arriving at the sceue he
was annoyed to fad that it was
a false alarm and also annoyed because de-
partmenl No. hal responded TO an alarm
outside that district. With considerable
wrath he ordered both departments to go
back 20 their stations, but be Svas met by
refusal 1t looked for awhile like mutiny,
but the situation was explained when
Mayor Turner mounted hose WAGON and
in a few well chosen words presented the
chief with the trumpet as coming from the
boys of the fire department with their kind
regards and appreciation Of his work. The
chief was too much overcome TO respond
except TO utter few words of thanks to,
his men.
The trumpet is an elegsnt affair of silver
with gold lining and is appropriately in
Scribed. Chief Rhodes has been a hard,
energetic and successful worker In build
ing up q fire department of which the city
is justly proud, and no one understands his
labors and the difficulties he has overcome
more than the hremen, and the event of
yesterday was an expression Of their ap-
pbeciption Of results attained.

pies of pure Democracy; he having in
herettd them could teach no other. Those
principles embraced the doctrine that the
constitution Of our country must be
honestly, and strictly maintained. and
GOULD not be safely departed from, to
meet the ideas and assumed needs of par
ties or factions. He referred TO the total
number Of Republicans In the whole United
States. when the war broke out, showing
the failacy Of the idea that it was the Re-
publican party that had saved the nation.
He referred to the value of the leading
measures of the two parties, to the poor
and rich respectively. and to the evident
fact that the Republican party was the
party of the rich, and that their measures
favored the rich at the expense Of the poor,
whilst The leading measures of the Demo
cratic party were in favor of equal rights
to all.
A short speech was also made by Prince
Coleman, ir, and the meeting closed with
theee cheers for Cleveland and Stevenson.
