leyism from the ranks of Democracy was
reported in this mornings CALL. The ap-
pearance of the new convert upon the
platform called forth long, loud applause.
At the close of his remarks the hall fairly
rang with cheers.
Trustee Martin gave an eloquent pre-
sentation OF his reasons for deserving
Dem ocracy and becoming a follower OF
the man OF Ohio. He declared that his
tariff views had not changed but ADDED:
II cannot support party which advo-
Gates the collection Of less revenue than is
necessary to pay our obligations; that
threatens to discourage and disorganize
our entire monetary system; that advo-
Gates the supremacy of mobs and riots.
and that proposes TO make our court of
last resort a convenient tool to act in
accordance with every vicious within Or
caprice of our Chief Executive or Con-
gress."
Trustee Martin vigorously attacked the
recent course of the Democracy, especially
in the passage of the Wilson BILL and
proceeded to declare against the free
silver craze"
He declared that free coinage would
make profit of $19, Coos 600 a year for
silver mine owners, giving statistics in
substantiation of his statements.
II do not concede that there can be any
permanent increase in the price OF silver
bullion by the proposed legislation" said
Mr.. Martin, "nor is there any necessity for
an advance In order that the present silver
mine owners may become the Rothchilds
OF the world in few years"
In conclusion, the speaker made an
eloquent appeal to his hearers patriotism,
asking for the support of Mckinley in
the. battle for freedom from insanity,
socialism aud anarchism"
