SILVER MEN AT MEMPHIS.
Monster Mass Meeting of Free-Coinage
People Begins.

I.
Memphis, Tenn, June 13.-The largest
meeting ever held in this country for the
discussion of single economic question
convened at the Auditorium in this city
this morning. While an overwhelming
majority Of the delegates to the conven-
ton called in the interest of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to come from this section
of the country, the representation in
cludes almost every state south Of the
Ohio river and west Of thesMississippi
While the gathering comprises demo-
Gratis, republicans and populists and is
supposedly nonpartisan. there is much
of interest to the political observer.
There were probably over fifteen hun
dred delegates on hand when the con-
vention was called to order at 2 o'clock
President w. H. Brown of the Mem
phis Bimetallic League, called the gath
ering to order, and ex-Congressman
Casey Young delivered the speech Of
welcome, saluting the delegates as the
advance guards of mighty army to
overthrow power more ruthless and
rapacious and more hurtful to human
happiness and prosperity than any des-
pot that ever shackled liberty and op-
pressed mankind. Senator Turpie Of In
diana, upon being introduced to the con-
vention made a long speech, his prin-
cipal effort being to destroy the conten-
ton Of the enemies of silver, that the
white metal was not honest money"
Alexander Delmar of California, the
next speaker, said the only monetary
principles upon which all parties unite
was stability, and that, he believed,
could only be brought about by a res
toration Of the ancient coinage laws Of
the republic. The fact that IS per cent
of the exchanges Of the world were
transacted with checks and bills or ex-
change proved that metallic coin, both
gold and silver, was inadequate to
measure the parity Of exchange.
