Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1896-10-02

Feat results of the democratic party and
your candidate for president, and L will
also say with great satisfaction that l
am his associate on the ticket. No less
a person than himself asked me that
question tonight, whether 1 was ON the
ticket or not. / am glad of the opportu-
nifty to say, vain as 1t may appear for
me, that your nominee for vice president
is still on the ticket, and he will always
be during this campaign, and he will net
decline until after election, on the third
of November My friends, we are in this
fight to stay.
This fight is between the people on
one side-the producers of wealth, the de-
tenders of our country, against the oros-
porous classes, as we are told by the
other party, the money barons and their
allies of Europe. I do not tell you that
when such parties are allied against each
other, which will win. There is only one
question between the parties. There are
only two parties today, one for the peo-
pie, the makers and producers of the
country; the other for the gold standard.
Behind its entertainments you will find
all the trusts, all the monopolies and all
the enemies of the people. There sou
find the representatives of our foreign
enemies, as well as our domestic ene-
mics.
I'VE are told by our opponents that we
have been prosperous and they point to
the fact that the wealth of this country
has increased during the last two 6e-
cades. admit that the country has baen
prosperous. The wealth of this country
has increased. Where has it gone to?
Have you got it? 1t has gone behind the
entertainments that 1 spoke of, where you
find the enemy, the money barons, behind
the gold standard. The greatest monop-
oily of all is the gold standard, and it
will continue to reduce prices as long as
II stands. The people of this country are
more interested in this question than they
are in Gny party. / simply came here to
see you, for you have had reason to
doubt from the papers of the country
whether you had a vice presidential cam
didate or not. He is still living, and will
continue to live, and will stand by the
ticket
Second Boston Meeting.
In the old-fashioned Music hall William
Jennings Bryan tonight closed one of the
most eventful days of his eastern tour.
The place has capacity of about 1000
people under ordinary circumstances An
hour before the candidates party arrived
tWo-thirds of the seats were filled by
ticket-holders, and hundreds were stand
ing. When the building had been flied
from wall to wall the doors were closed,
| and the clamoring thousands outside went
away disappointed. The crowd cheered
| for everything it could think of in con-
nection with the pending arrival of the
| speakers.
When George Fred Williams with his
party pushed to the front of the stage
| the crowd burst into tumutuous ap-
| plause. Immediately behind Mr.. Williams
| were Arthur Sewall and a committee.
| Chairman Dennison promptly faced the
audience, but more than five minutes
| elapsed before the demonstration of en-
| thusiasm which began when Mr.. SewaI
| first became visible had subsidized sutti-
GENTLY for him to be heard. When, in
| speech frequented by cheers, he intro
| duced Hon. George Fred Williams the
| storm of applause and cheering which
| Mr.. Williams name evoked lasted fully
| five minutes. At it's conclusion Mr.. Will
| Jams began what proved to be a most
| sensational speech. The democratic
| state convention will be held here to-
morrow, and frequent illusions TO par
| ties to be prominent in it were made by
| members of the audience
| In the course of his speech Mr. Will
Jams said: Il am surprised at the want
| of intelligence which is dispIayed by some
| members of our community, who appear
| to be easily hoodwinked. l am surprised
| that the Atchison stockholders of Boston
| are listening to the frantic appeals of the
| various officials who defrauded them CT
| their hard-earned money. (Applause.l
| What do the stockholders of Massa-
| chusetts say to the fact that only two
| years ago one-quarter of the railroads OF
| tiAlS touIitIS were Ill the ndnuS OF lc-
| ceiVers? Is that to the interest of The
| investors of New England" No: there
| Is but one class that profits by the bank
| ruptcy of railroads, and that is the class
| OF railroad wreckers and reorganizers of
| which the king of American finance, j.
| Pierpont Morgan, is the head" (Grcat
| applause, and voice, I'VE will kill his
| friends tomorrow
Mr.. Williams then addressed himself
| to tomorrow's convention, and said;
| Men appointed to carry out the party
| will who are openly declaring their OPP
position to the democracy and their pur-
| pose to defeat it, hold their places in the
party organization in order to defeat the
| cause which is laid down in the national
platform adopted at Chicago. / have
| gone forward in this leadership. | have
| not ceased to hate and defy the traitors
| who hold our party organization ,Great
| applause and cheering) and are now at
| this very moment with a gold standard
majority undertaking to defeat our rights
| IN that convention tomorrow (Howls
| and hisses)
He then criticized the method of dis
| tributing tickets to tie convention, ano
| added: II wrote to the mayor of the
city of Boston (storm of hisses) plead
ing to him for an honest convention, and
| saying we should hold him personally re-
I-sponsible applause and cries of Good

| leader, l tell you, of that side-let him
| hide no longer. applause and Misses,
He and his men decided that they would
| keep up their fraudulent methods unit
| tomorrow. Now, what l propose is this
| That when this meeting is ended those
who hold credentials in this house shall

OF I'VE will.")
Here the song of I'VE won't go home
till morning" was started and Tor few
minutes nothing but applause and sir yine
could be heard. When Mr.. Williams pro-
cured order he continued:
| Il ask them TO remain her to hold a
| meeting for either the drafting of a bill

| can not provide them" Great applause
and enthusiastic cheering)

The band in the gallery started up the

| aud the crowd stood on chairs and yelled
themselves hoarse.
