CLEARWATER.

CLEARWATER,O Oct. .30.-Last evening
brought treat in the shape Of the big
gest and best meeting of the campaign.
1t opened with the largest hall in town
crowded full. Sixteen lovely girls en-
tered, dressed in white, each holding a
flag in her hand. and arranged in a semi
circle, the tallest in the center and taper
ing down to very small ones at the ends
and then one girl dressed in yellow
standing in the center, sang the
Star Spangled Banner most beautifully,
accompanied by Mrs. Lou Henderson at
the piano. This was followed by solo
by Mr.. Mcknight, and then Mrsi r. r.
Briggs sang The Red, White and Blue,
the whole house joining in the chorus.
Mr.. Will D. Gould spoke two hours and
the audience sat and listened as if en-
raptured by his many strong. logical
and eloquent arguments. He called for
show of hands of those who would
vote for Bryan and it seemed as if every
hand in the house went up, but when he
called for the other side, slowly, one by
one, came up five lands-two were boys
not old enough to vote and one a man
not voter. The others 1 did not know.

TWO MONSTER MEETINGS
CONTINUED from Page Three.)

at the ratio of Is to 1, which valued sill
yer higher than any other existing ratio,
it (silver) was driven out of circulation,
and at the ratio of is to 1, which val
ued silver lower than other existing
ratios, silver was also driven out of cir
culation. And that was Mr. Harris tri-
umphant vindication of the integrity OF
the so-called Gresham law.
But the fact is that the years from
1905 to 1886, during which time the COIN
age of silver dollars was suspended by
Jefferson, as Mr.. Harris argues, because
it was the dear metal and would not
circulate, are years during which our
silver coinage exceeded our gold coinage,
notwithstanding we We're then produc-
ers of gold and not of silver.
Mr.. Harris overlooks the fact that
it was in Europe and not in the United
States that silver was cheap before 1884,
and that on that account it should have
been driven out of Europe and into the
United States to make his argument
good. He overlooks the further fact that
prior to the civil war foreign gold and
silver coins were continuously legal
tender by law in the United States.
But Mr.. Harris most reckless state
ment is that in France the legal ratio
was changed 1875 times in the effort to
keep the two metals in circulation side
by side, based upon free coinage. The
fact is that the legal ratio has not been
changed one-fifth of that many times
by the whole world since the crucifix-
ion, and that in France in particular no
change has been made since 1885 The
further fact is that during all the quar-
ter of a century in which the French
mints were open to the free coinage of
gold and silver at 151s to 1, the parity
at that ratio was thereby maintained
for the civilized world, and during all of
that time five Mexican silver dollars
were worth an English gold sovereign
anywhere in the civilized world
In conclusion, Col. Berry distressed
from the money question to speak of
the criticism of the Democratic platform
for suggesting that the decision of the
supreme court adverse to the constitu-
tionality of the income tax may one day
be reversed. and to direct the attention
of Republicans to the fact that their
party had reconstructed that court in
1890 in order to get decision sustaining
the constitutionality Of the greenback
act and reversing the decision of 1859
against the constitutionality of that
act;also to recall that the last decision of
that nature rendered in 1884, was Sc
verely criticised by the venerable his
torian, George Bancroft, and to ask:
WAS Bancroft an anarchist?"
The speaker also quoted McLachlan's
speech of 1894, wherein he "unequivo-
cally' endorsed the Republican platform
declaration of that year for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1,
and compared it with his letter, pub
ilshed in August Of this year, wherein
he said that he knew when he SO un-
equivocally endorsed that platform that
he was in errorS How" asked the
speaker, ''are we to tell whether he is
sincere now when he tells us himself
that he was not sincere then?"

Mexican Rurales Are Not Partial 10
Visitors From Abroad.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 30.-Harry Mansur,
an American farmer living on this side
of the line near Tia Juana, is in trouble
in Lower California He has a Mexican
wife whose parents live at Rosario,
eighteen miles south of the boundary
line, and last Monday Mansur and wife
went to visit them. A custom has pre-.
vailed on the border of allowing Ameri-
cans to enter Mexico freely with horses
and outfit, provided the parties are we'll
known and intend to return. The same
rule applies to MeXicans entering this
country. Mansur drove a Mexican
horse, but the wagon and harness were
of American manufacture. AT midnight
sthat night he was routed out by posse
of rurales and conducted to Tia Juana,
charged with smuggling. Immediate
trial took place before Joaquin Zazau-
eta. justice of the peace. Mansur was
fined $3.50, or five years in prison at Ell
senada. The papers were forwarded
to Ensenada, and the prisoner followed.
Mansur will appeal to American Consul
Godbe at Ensenada for interference in
his behalf 1t is believed the absurdly
heavy sentence will be revoked by

RIVERSIDE, Oct. 30.-The largest To-
cal gathering of the campaign was that
which greeted Senator Stephen NJ White
last night at the opera house and lis.
tened to one of the most able and con-
vincing addresses of the campaign. OF
course the most of the address was
devoted to the currency question, ami
the senator dealt such heavy blows at
the Republican portion that the audi
ence cheered him time and again, and
particularly when he showed UP the
inconsistencies of the Republicans in
going squarely back on their position of
only a few months ago.
The street parade prior to the speaking
was very creditable. The Riverside
band furnished the music, to which two
hundred or more marched with torches
in hand, trimmed and burning.
A number Of washouts have been re-
ported from the heavy downpour of
