Silver Oratory Received With Applaus,
Which Expressed Sympathy.

GLENDALE, Oct. 4.-The Demo-
ocratic meeting here last night was at
tended by about one hundred and fifty
people, many Republicans being pres
ent. The chairman announced that a
Bryan club would be formed to meet
every Saturday and desired all who
would to come forward and sign the roll
Some twenty-five came forward. during
which several campaign songs were rem
dered, following which the entire audi
ence Joined in singing America.
Tire president then introduced Mr..
Hanly who spoke briefly on the needs
Of good roads.
The name Of c. G. Wright was an
nounced and caused great applause
coming forward Mr.. Wright said among
other things that in no sense did the
Chicago convention condemn the SUI
preme court of the United States in re-
gard to the income tax. but that the ma
jority Of the people in the United States
condemned the adverse decision Of that
body In regard to such tax.
The money question was well and in
telligently treated. The people wanted
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at 16 to 1 and the Chicago convention
boldly declared for free coinage. (Great

He denied that the Democrats were
anarchists. socialists or repudiators;
such assertions were simply calumny
Mr.. Bryan was handsomely compli-
mented as the man Of the occasion.
Never in the history of the country have
three different parties united upon one
man and victory in November was GER
tain.
The crime of 1873 was elaborately treat
ed. Mr.. Mckinley was roundly scored
for continually saying in his speeches
that he desires plenty of silver but not
on free coinage basis. Amid much
applause a so cent dollar was declared
myth; that the country did not con-
tain dollar with the American stamp
upon the face thereof that was not equal
to any other dollar in the country.
The st. Louis platform declared it's
faith in and adherence to the existing
gold standard, when as matter % fact
there has never been a law enacted de-
claring for a single gold standard. Gap
plause.) What we desire is a man for
president who can read plain English
and hold distinctly to the law and will
of the people. Those in power have
abused office and catered to foreign
clamor for gold. and saddled upon the
people an incubus in the shape of an
enormous debt. That silver would rise
in value under free coinage was proved
by the passage Of the Sherman act, for
thirty days after 1t rose to S1.21 in New
York and to $L19% in London, the high
est point touched since 1878; while up to
the day of the passage Of that act it
brought only 96A per ounce.
The moment America takes firm
stand other countries will follow. 1t was
only because the United States bonds
We're paid in gold by the secretary of the
treasury that the gold barons like Roth
schild would consent to anything but
the gold standard for their respective
countries. Mr. Wright closed amid
great applause.
Hon. J. r.. Rush followed by discus
sion of the Mckinley tariff. The speaker
declared 1t was nonsense; the money
question is the issue and tariff tinkers
cannot change this issue for we want
the dollar Of our daddies returned to us.
(Aplause.) The evils of the demone-
tization of silver was fully and forcibly
explained. the speaker being frequently
INTERRUPTED by applause. For about an
hour Judge Rush kept the audience in a
continual state Of laughter and applause.
