lican meeting OF the campaign In this city

the leading Republicans of Chicago and of
the State of Illinois. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the Republican
bankers and merchants of the city, and as
the capacity of the building was limited to
two thousand, there were thousands of dis
appointed Republicans. Senator John
Sherman was the speaker of the evening.
and among the we'll Known bankers, mer-
chants and capitalists and business men

Tanner, Judge Theodore Bretanno. Hon.

The chairman of the meeting was Henry
A. King, and his brief speech on accepting
the gavel was the keynote of the meeting.
Mr.. King said that the business men of the
West had been struck with dismay at a
plank adopted by the recent Democratic
national convention as . portion of the
platform. The plank. by demanding the
repeal of the 10 per cent. federal tax on
State bank issues proposed return to that
wildcat" and .red-doQ" currency of
thirty years ago that wrecked the finances
of the Nation. Upon the question of cur
rency and finance, upon the impending dan
ger of the hour there was one man pre-
emInently qualified TO speak-the Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, the great tinancIer
| of the Nation.
Tremendous applause greeted Senator
Sherman as he stepped to the front. and
it was over minute before the demonstra-
ton of enthusiasm subsidized sufficiently to
enable him to speak. AT frequent intervals
in the course of his speech be was inter
rupted by tumultuous applause, the climax
of enthusiasm being reached when he men,
toned the name of Lincoln aud of other
great leaders OF the party. Sherman said
| In part:
.One of the issues between these two
| parties, which has already been named by
your chairman. Is whether the people of the
United States are willing to abandon the
| national currency. which has been estab-
lished by the Republican party in tho form
| of United States notes. ana the silver and
| gold certificates. all of equal value not
| only in the country of the United states.
| but all over rae civilized world-whether
we will abandon this form of currency.
and revive the old currency of our fathers
the red dog shinplasters of thirty or forty
| years ago.
Another of the questions is whether we
| Will authorize any holder OF 37lA grains of
| silver worth in the market about IS cents
| TO 20 to the treasury OF tho United States
| or TO the mint, and there demand q dollar,
or If we cannot coin dollars fast enough.
/ TO demand your note--the note of the peo-
| pie of the United States-f0r 81. when the
purchasing power of the silver dollar IS
but e5 cents; OF whether. on the OF her hand,
| We will bay that silver at Its market price,
coin needed BY the people of the
| United States and maintain it at the STAN
dard of gold in all the markets Of the
world. Applause
Another question that is also to your in
terest is whether, in levying duties on
| imported goods, from which we derive
the chief source of our revenue. we should
be guided alone by tho mere maintaining
of revenue for the support of tho govern
nent, or whether. In addition to that. we
should try to increase. improve and magni-
| fy the Industries of our country aud pro-
tect our people against undue competition
/ abroad"
Now, my countrymen. these questions
are to be submitted to you. Take the first
/ question. The question is presented by the
Democratic platform. referred to you by
| your honored chairman. 1t is contained IN
| two lines: We recommend that the pro-
| hibitOry ten percent. tax on State circu-
! lation be repealed Well. now. in the first
outlook of that simple resolution il would
| seem a tax of 10 per cent. on any kind of
| circulation would be a very heavy tax,
| and the plain farmer would say: Why,
that is too much taxes. Why not per
| cent. or / per cent? The au-
swer is. my countrvmen. that the
tax was levied in the midst
| of war in order to drive out of existence
and cut the throat of this system of State
bank paper money. which had ruined the
