From 1884 to
1878.

Despite the miserable weather OF last
evening, large audience assembled at
the Auditorium to hear an address on
the issues of this campaign by General
Stewart L. Woodford of New York. Hy-
before the meeting.
The Hon. Edward G. Bradford presided
at the meeting and seated upon the stage
were ex-senator Anthony Higgins and E..
7. Warner in addition to Chairman Brad
ford and General Woodford.
Previous to the speaking Frederick e.
Bach explained how to mark and fold an
official ballot He said that number of
Democrats would cut their tickets, and
the Republicans should be able to teach
the Democrats how to vote for Mckinley
and Hobart.
In opening the meeting Chairman Brad
ford spoke but briefly. He said that before
presenting the orator of the evening he
desired to say that the American people
did not intend to place in the chair of
Washington, OF Garfield and of Harrison
a demagogue with fatally dangerous ten
dencies. There are crises in the history
of every nation when patriotism must as
sert itself, Such a time has now arrived.
and the able and thoughtful men of all
parties are striving to elect William Nc
kinley.
The so-called Sound Money Democrats,
who are the real Democrats, are no friends
CT Mckinley, They do not believe in the
Republican policy of protection. Why is it
then that they ara in favor of Mckinley
or are assisting him by vc.lng for Palmer
and Buckner? The man who would ques-
tiOn the Democracy Of Bayard, of Gray,
Of Carlisle Or Of Whitney, would be a fit
subject for lunatc asylum, and yet
these men eagerly look forward to the
election of Mckinley. They desire the de-
feat of Bryan. because they know that
between the election of Mckinley and the
election of Bryan the former is preferable.
They are too patriotic and rise above
party lines too far to support Bryan and
the dishonest and dangerous doctrines Of
the Chicago platform. To these Demo-
Gratis who have made this stand all honor
is due.
The organization now supporting
Bryan is lead by that quartette of nota-
bles-the profound Bryan. the philan-
thropc Altgeld, the gentle Tillman and
