question, covering every point which
has been touched upon heretofore by
THE CHRONICLE. He reaffirmed that
when there was difference oRbut two
cents in the value of gold and silver the
dearer metal went into hiding; that'the
act of 1873 was not done, as charged, by
stealth; told OF the enormous output of
silver dollars since 1873 which ought to
settle forever the claims against the Re-
publican party for unfriendliness toward
silver; that while the Democratic party,
as represented by Bryan, desires to in
crease the amount of circulating medium
they make no provision for the circula-
ton of that medium; compared the per
capita of silver-using countries, assert
ing that India's was 1884, China's
$1.75, while the United States was
$21.4S.
He then tnrned to the protection
issue, upon which he devoted about an
hour and half. When he concluded
there was no one present who doubted
that the tariff was a very important
issue. During this part of his address
he centured his eyes upon certain in
dividual in the audience at his right,
personifying that individual as the en-
bodiment OF the Populist or free silver
party. AS he progressed he seemed to
become maddened at -the party thus
personifed, although with a certain
dogged courage the one addressed did
not seem to appear to feel the keen
shafts of ridicule which. were directed at
him. With supreme effort, the con-
Guiding peroratlon, occupying II full
minute of time, was put directly at the
man, and, though the roof quaked with
the applause and laughter that the au-
dience gave the speaker, the individual
addressed sat inert and unmoved, with
out emotion and without protest.
Mr.. Hermann drove home in this
manner some great truths, constituting
his entire speech one of the most, if not
the most, forcible of the entire cam
paign.

HON. eINeER HERMANN.
He Made One of the Greatest Speeches
OF the Campaign.

Hon. Binger Hermann delivered last
evening one of the most forcible speeches
of the compaign. Though the audience
was not the largest that has SO far
greeted Republican speakers, it was
wildly enthusiastic, and as Mr.. Her
mann warmed to his subject they par
took of something of his wonderful fire
and defiance. The speaker was pleas
antly introduced by Attorney w. II.
Wilson, who made few remarke of
great force and candor.
Mr.. Hermann first commented upon
the near approach of the opening of the
locks, and took share of the credit for
having enabled them to be opened
earlier by getting the government to
finish them by the contract system. He
said 1t was a proud moment for him
that he would be yet in congress when
the mammoth job was disposed of.
Turning to the political campaign he
paid compliment to both candidates
by declaring they were personally with
out blemish. In congress he had ex-
perienced pleasant relations with VIM.
Mckinley and w. ]. Bryan, six years
with the former and four with the latter.
He found them to be possessed of gentle
department, kind, courteous, obliging
and affable. But as to capacity there
was wide difference. There is no evi-
dence of the fitness of w. ]. Bryan for
the high honor of being elected to the
presidency of the United States. He
then dweit upon the great and match
less record of Hon. VIM. Mckinley
He was the first to be mustered into the
service of the q. S. army during the war
and the last to be mustered out. He
had served fourteen years in congress,
and while there formulated the match
! less Mckinley bill. Elected governor of
the great state of Ohio he was reelected
to the same position. He declared that
the present issue was a Democratic
dodge to elect president. There was
nothing said about it four years ago or
even two years ago. The cry of the
Democrats then was prosperity was de-
| pendent upon the advent of free trade.
A president and congress put such a
| policy in force, and the utmost disaster
following unexampled prosperity, the
Democratic party realized the hopeless
ness of again electing president unless
some new cry was raised to distract the
attention of the people. They found it
in free silver and will now try to delude
the people again.
So they made fusion. The Demo.
cratic party has been swallowed in
