Convincing Evidence That the Clnims
of Bryanites Are without Found
atiOn-Sound Money Meet
inEs for To-day and
TO-niEht-POlitical.

The sound money campaign was pushed
with renewed activity yesterday, and about
dozen enthusiastic meetings were held
at points throughout the city.
An excellent meeting was held at the
market square at noon. j. j. Williams,
Alex New and Charles E. Small made STIR
ring speeches, which were applauded by the
large crowd which gathered. Twelve hun
dred people surrounded the speakers. Tho
meeting was interrupted several times by
the inevitable Bryan disturbers, among
whom the most conspicuous was one of
Ed Findley's policy men. One Of the in
terrupters was especially persistent, but
was finally silenced effectually by MI. New,
who administered a telling rebuke.
The monday sound money meeting at
the stock yards yesterday was attended by
about LOCO of the stockmen and the en-
ployes. Henry Wollman and Clarence S.
Palmer made the addresses and were heart
lily applauded.
Mr.. Palmer opened the melting with
stirring speech in favor Of a gold standard
which was well received. Mr. Wollman
followed him with very enthusiastic
speech. in which he appealed to the stock
men in many ways, using their business
terms in examples which showed them the
fallacy of Bryan's free silver ideas.
After the sound money addresses had
been listened to, some one In the crowd
called for Judge Foot, a free silver Pop
ulist. Mr.. Wollman stated that he be-
lieved in free speech and the gentleman
would be allowed to speak on the free sill
yer side of tn question, but he was to be
answered by Mr.. Palmer. Judge Foot's
remarks, however, were not the kind which
would be chosen to influence stockmen, as
he said that the banks were crushing the
people, when 1t is fact that business in
the stock yards could not be carried on
without the banks loaning money to the
merchants. The silver orators idea seemed
to be that every man would have the con-
troll of silver mine in the advent of free
silver; he also said that 1t would give
plenty of work and money to over $4,000
people, and Mr.. Palmer answered him by
asking him what was to become Of the
other 100000. The speaker concluded by
looking around and saying: "Oh, take away
this suffering, sorrowing and want. and give
us the good times Of 49," when the stock
yards have been made what they are, the
second greatest in the world, since that
time, and now there is nothing to show
sorrow or want in the lively scenes they
present. When Mr.. Palmer took the stand
to answer the is to 1 advocate he so com.
pletely smothered him that he and his few
supporters who had called for him left the
crowd.
At the Burlington freight offices colone,
ID. s. Twitchell ard A. s, Marley made
speeches to a good sized audience. which
gave interested attention. Mr. Marley was
formerly a railroad employe, who studied
law at night. and he was received with es-
pecial enthusiasm. Colonel Twitchell made
strong speech for sound money and the
best interests of the laboring man.
At Abernathy's furniture factory, on
West Ninth street. S. w. Moore, D. j. Han
and Robert Gillham spoke to an excellent
audience Of workingmen, who applauded
the strong points made by the speakers
by Bryan enthusiasts.
At the Santa Fe freight Offices Gardiner
LathrOp and L. c. Krauthon spoke to an
enthusiastic meeting of railroad men. Mr.
Lathrop scored the Misrepresentation of
the morning Popocratic organ regarding
the sound money parade and the sound
money meetings. He showed that as he
was on the pay roll of the company, the
same as those present, his interests would
suffer just as much as theirs from de-
preciated dollar paid to him for his serv-
ices.
An excellent meeting at Eleventh and
Grand was addressed by D. B. Holmes, ].
H. Harkless and Harmon Bell.
