the poor house. He spoke OF the
fictitious panic of last year being
"created. purposely created by the
of Wall street. Did
Cleveland attempt to carry out
the silver plank of the Chicago
platform? No, my God, no! and
the man in the White House is
more responsible than any other
man living for the betrayal of the
Democracy"
WHEN HE IS THE PEOPLES PRESIDENT
Then the Governor denounced
the sale of bonds last year in the
interest of the bondholders, who
burned the candle of poverty
stricken toilers at both ends. We
shall have no remedy until we get
together and turn the whole kit
and Doodle out. "When we do get
in, oh, my God, won't we enjoy
grinding that kit or corn"
Then the Governor reiterated the
charge about the fraudulent de-
monetization of silver, declaring
that Cleveland and Sherman were
cheek by jowl and that Sherman
was triumphant.
coxEY TOOK THE WRONG ROAD.
"Coxey went to Washington with
a crowd of ragam ufins to ask Con-
gress for help. What did they do9
They cracked poor Coxey's head.
But they were afraid of Coxey, all
the same, and put him in jail.
True, Coxey was crank and a fool.
He should have stayed at home
and gone to voting.
"There," shouted the Governor,
with great energy, "is the sword
with which you can kill this
dragon, but you must watch lest
they buy you with their money
buy you by hauling you about on
free passes.
MUST LOOK TO THE WEST.
The Governor returned to the de-
monetization question, and stopped
once, declaring that be couldn't
speak unless the buzz about him
stopped. Speaking of the sub,
treasury, he differed with some Of
his Alliance brethren, believed that
the two fights to restore silver and
to issue paper money direct should
be done before energy should be
wasted in divising methods to dis,
tribute it. 1t was like arranging
to cook the rabbit before it .was
caught. We've got to go to the
West for an Alliance. We can
look no longer to New York and
New Jersey. Owing to the betrayal
by Cleveland men, who had sucked
Democracy in their mothers milk,
they were casting about, helpless
and disguised at their party, which
has gone into shivers.

of beef in the White House, who
had failed to carry out any of his
promises.

"What relief can I offer9 I am
reminded of Bill Arp's story of Big
John, who, when the Yankees were
hot after him, tied the tail of his
OK to the dashboard so that the cart
couldn't g taway from him. Ican't
do exactly as Big John did, but
when get to the Senate I can't be
bought, or bribed or bulldozed; I
can go up on mountain and gath
er great many big rocks and hurl
them at everybody that comes
along"
"But you can't do it, Governor" j."
yelled somebody in the crowd.
The remark seemed to infuriate
the Governor. "But there are sixty
odd thousand men who voted for
ne for Governor because they
thought I'd do it, and they are 60
ing to do it again, sir" exclaimed
the Governor with frantic en-
plasis, and sat down,
BUTLER MEN ENTHUSIASTIC.
The cheering was spirited but
b:ief. The band played. AS the
last note fell there was cry for
"Butler." "Butler, Butler" re-
sounded through all parts of the
crowd, and for the first time dur
ing the day.the cheering was gen.
eral.
When the chairman had intro
duced the Senator the cheering was
renewed.
Senator Butler said:
