We observe that you are now d'hnl'cN an
nounccd as one Of The speakers at Democratic
meeting In brooklyn this evening we con-
.,rstul,,c both Won and your audience. Is
pccially Won. because YOU have had nara i'N
in getting hearing in This ncighhorh'oi on
account If Elory AndcrSon's failure 10 eaten
on 10 Won. Brooklyn l. not N"W-lork I" W.
sure hut it Is NJ least n good place 4" make il
beginning and if you pull through to-hieh'
without getting tangled up in any OF the pi'-
falls in which so many eminent Democrats are
nj This moment struggling. We have no do'o'
that in the course Of Il few years You VIII arrive
hv casy stages M the distinction Of being IN
vitel to make one Of the Fourth OfJuly long
talks" in East Fourteenth street. From there
to The Reform club is only matter "f Il dozch
blocks or So and the facilities FOR g"ti'hG from
one of these Democratic headquarters 10 Inc
other are improving rapidly that you HAY
be able 10 address Tammany ana thr h'lorhi
club on the same day. using The same speech
II will be a personal triumph for You when that
day comes Particularly if Ellcry Anderson
prcsdes at the Reform club. and continues 10
feel as he does at present with reference TO the
Millennium.
Meantime II occurs 10 lis that you can make
Yourself mighty interesting To the brooklyn
Democrats tonight by giving your views ON me
oucstion Of silver coinage. They have not been
giving that subject much attention lately. Tor
The reason that the citizens II that thriving
community have been much occupied III con
sidcring measures for preventing their Demo
cratic rulers from robbing them Of what money
they have that they have had no time 10 think
of proposiinnS 10 increase the amount or cur
rcncy in circulation. or Of any other purely
financial question. 1t does not make much
difference In their view whether their money
is in gold or silver or banknOt"s, or whether
they call - cents worth Of silver a dollar. 50
long rs they are liable 10 be held up by politi-
cal hghwaymen and compelled to stand ana
deliver the whole. Still. thcr" is reason 10 be
lIrvc that # Won should take an hour or wv"
or all night 10 explain your own views on SILVER
coinage and the attitude Of your party in
Georgia ON the question. together with re
marks on the position Of the President ana the
opinion, of his Secretary Of the Treasury. You
would be able 10 hold their attention.
The report has Just reached lis that your
party IN Georgia has by IN overwhelming ma
ioriiv selected aS lis candidate for United states
Senator an advocate Of free coinage. Th"
rumor runs that the large falling off in the
Democratic majority In Your State In the Re-
cen; election was due 10 dissatisfaction with
President ClcvclandS position on silver coinage
and the forcing ~ that issue into the canvass
lr Secretary IIokc Smith. who represented The
Administration. The belief IS general that YOU
are IN advocate ~ free coinage Yourself and
In that regard are at odds with m" Admini>trl
Van iun Ia. mi. IA toll IN, HrpsklEu
Democrats who are not ~ all fivoraby dis
posed toward his measure precisely why y"u
desire them 10 send Ia Congress representatives
who will vote against this pet project - your
self and the ma jorty Of your party in your own
State And YOU. 10 doubt. wcr" fully A.
quainicd with the views of the senior Demo
cratic senator from this State during the last
session ~ Congress. perhaps you VIII be- able
TO tell them precisely what his niutud" IS
Public opinion + In some confusion about II AZ
present II You have come North 10 aid In li-
canvass for Governor because he was In sym
patty with you and your frccconagr aS>o-
ciaics. Won will. - course. frankly SAY
1t * we'll known that You DID not agree with
Senator iii upon The tariff question. - Il T.
presumed you are not here 10 help him Oh that
account If You and b" ar" not in accord OH
The silver question. then there seems 10 be- 10
reason why you should have come al The way
from Georgia - speak In his behalf Perhaps.
though. you think hi~ election would strengthen
The present Administration. II Won do. We sug
gc>t that YOU say and give Your rT>ons
The President has failed I" commit himself on
that point. So also have all he member, Of
his Cabinet. though abundant opportunity has
been afforded them. Al any rate. Mr. Speaker.
we do hope YOU will tell The brooklyn Demo
Gratis what You have com" mp here for, ana
what precisely you are driving at.
