this government to lesislate for itself
without regard to other nations. (Great

applause.)
1t will not do to say there Is no cause
for such feeling as is manifested now.
If you read the dispatches which ap-
peared in yesterday mornings papers
from London, you will find that great
meeting Of agriculturists was held at
Buda Pesth, and in speaking of that
meeting the dispatch said practically
that all there representing agricultural
societies were in favor Of bimetallsm.
This great uprising comes from the
masses Of the people, who do not produce
silver bullion, but they produce prop
erty. and they realize that the gold STAN
dard has been driving the value out Of
the property they produce. (Applause.) }
The opposition press may well afford
to pause in their ridicule Of the advo-
Gates Of free coinage and in their denun-
ciation Of them as lawless characters
to find out whether there is a we'll
founded reason for this advocacy of BIZ
metallism among the farmers of the
United States. England, Germany,
France and every nation which has been
cursed by the gold standard. My friends
I assert here, and I challenge any gold
policy which is Injurious to agricultural
causes. has nothing to commend 1t to
the government Of any nation. (Great
applause and cheers.l
THEIR FRIENDS ASHAMED.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. Sept. 25.-The
Yale News today has the following ed
itorial commenting on the disturbances
at the Bryan meeting yesterday:
The Yale News must deprecate the
spirit Of "horse play'-this is the true
light in which the aniinus must be re-
stration at yesterdays political meet
garded-which prompted the. demon
ing. The action Of Yale men present
plainly showed a lack Of respect for the
dignity Of the speaker as a public man,
everything jolitical aside, and a care
full and fair-minded consideration will
unanimously condemn the exhibition,
irrespective Of party affiliations. Yale
was the foster mother of the Illinois
college. where William ]. Bryan gradu-
ated. Illinois college was founded by
a party of graduates from Yale, and
has always looked upon Yale as its par
ent institution. ,...,. L..
ToDAY's EVENTS.
BOSTON. Sept. 25.-This has been an
eventful night In Boston and tempora-
ry lull foreshadows the excitement Of
tomorrow. w. J. Bryan and Arthur
Sewall, Democratic candidates for pres
ident and vice-president, addressed two
monster crowds, one on Boston common
and the other in Music hail.. Conserva-
tive estimates say 10000 persons were
present at the first meeting and at the
latter the house was jammed and thou
sands were turned away.
Tomorrow the state convention of the
Democrats will be held in Music hall.
George Fred Williams addressed the
meeting at Music hall prior to the APP
pearance of Mr.. Bryan, and the widest
enthusiasm and excitement marked his
address. He made a severe attack on
the gold standard element OF the party
and was wildly cheered at every SEN
tence. He charged that corrupt meth
DDS would be resorted to to keep the SILL
yer element out Of the convention, and
calling for the silver delegates to remain
in the hall all night. This proposition
was received with great manifestita-
tiOuS VI dPpIoSdis dilU dL present SoV
delegates are in the hall to remain until
the convention opens. Speeches were
being made and cheering continues. An
appeal to the police to clear the house
was made, presumably by the gold ele-
ment, but the police declined to inter-
fere. Then the delegates sent for meals
and prepared to camp all night.
While the excitement during Mr.. Will
iams' speech was at it's height, Mr.. Sc
wall, and later Mr.. Bryan, appeared and
were greeted with uproarious applause.
Later at night the members Of the Bi-
metallic union entertained Mr.. Bryan at
dinner and reception. .-'.-ss
Outside the hotel in which the dinner
was given Mr.. Williams appeared before
the throng and said he would speak
few words for Mr.. Bryan who had al
ready made several speeches during the
day, but Mr.. Bryan was called for. FL
nally, in response to repeated shouts,
Mr.. Bryan was forced to address the
throng.
2 a. m. About 300 delegates are still
In their seats and prominent delegates
are addressing them. 1t is feared that
the lights may be turned out in order to
force the delegates to leave.
