speech of Colonel Tazewell Elicit, who
spoke upon a motion affecting the man
agement of the clubs canvass, during
which he said that as a defeated aspirant
for the Democratic nomination, 1t was
his duty to go upon the stump, ana
advocate the cause of Bryan, Sewall
and John Lamb. But that this fall it
would be not only a duty but a pleasure,
because this struggle is a struggle be-
tween the masses and plutocracy, and
that II plutocracy should win the day.
It would be a day of woe for this govern
ment and this people. For, either we
should have a despotic government by a
plutocracy or the terrible alternative or
revolution. He urged the club to put
forth every effort and be more vigorous
Captain John Lamb was present, and,
being called for, made a. brief speech,
after which the meeting adjourned.
THE BARTON HEIGHTS CLUE.
The Bryan-Sewaal Club of Barton
Heights held their regular weekly meet
ing last night at the Wigwam. The an

tlemen from this city would speak. and

to be present, among the audience being
many ladies. Mr.. Thomas Gardner. presi-
dent OF the club, called the meeting to
order. and introduced Mr.. II. t. Crump
as the first speaker. That gentleman
made n short talk, which proved ex-
tremely interesting to his hearers. He
was followed by Mr.. Jackson Guy. who
took up the financial question. and dis
cussed II thoroughly from every point OF
view. Mr.. f. A. Catlin then spoke for
about fifteen minutes. He declared that
MANY persons were in favor OF the gold
standard simply because some bank en-
ployee or banker was for "sound money"
The speaker said that the opinion of the
bankers on the financial question should
not be given one particle more weight
than that Of the commercial man or the
manufacturer. The latter two knew
equally as much about the question as
the banker The banking business was
simple, when compared with some others,
and II was merely routine work.
BEFORE the club adjourned they decided
TO change the name of the organization
