DR.. G. w. Williams will announce his
executive committee and other details
or organization will be arranged at the
meeting. The, advisability of nomi-
mating one candidate or more for the
county campaign, will also be discussed
and determined, 1t is the sentiment Of
majority of the committee that some
such action be taken In order that the

standing when the next election shall

J. M. Hawthorne addressed a meet
ing OF the citizens of the Fifth ward
at = ;. +. s. hall, West Seventh street
ana western avenue, last evening upon
the subject of the investigation which
ne recently made into the financial con-
dltlon In Mexico and the effects of free
SILVER upon that country. =. Mr.. Haw-
thorne related how he had become ali
advocate of the cause of free silver
and said that he feared this country
was Vergfng on the precipice of ma
t1onal ruin to which it had been led
through the pursuit of the golden calf
| and that he proposed to do all in his
power to save the land which he loved
He was addressing the meeting, he
SAID, as free silver Republican and
he proposed to repudiate the trade
made with certain cloven-hoffed in
dividual by the Republican party at
st. Louis
| AS an argument against the gold
standard the speaker said that he had
| studied the situation and history Of
countries on a gold basis, enumerating
Australia, England and Canada, and
| had found them to have suffered de-
preston and financial hardships, while
on the other hand Japan, operating up
| on silver basis had shown wonderful
| of civilization.
| Mr.. Hawthorne summarized the stu
| alton IN Mexico by stating that in the
| course of an Investigation extending
over period of seven weeks, he had
found the factories running night and
! day, and declared that this had been
| true since 1893. They were large fac
| tories, too in one of which he had
| seen $4,000 spindles in operation This
of mo 1rf, r,&rr r-iy in,
| dustry in Mexico and applied to ten
wooden mills in the Valley of Mexico
! and also twentyfOur cotton mills. Real
estate, he said, had increased in value
! both in the cities and in the suburbs,
and New York capital was now seek
| ing investment in this promising coun
| try. There were no mortgage fore
| closures there and during his visit Mr.
| Hawthorne had heard of no assign
| ments. Wages had also increased and
! the Workmen In the mills at Pueblo
were now receiving an advance of
! twenty-five per cent over those Of one
| year ago. ~
The financiers of Mexico had, &C
| cording to Mr.. Hawthorne predicted a
| direful panic in 1893, when that coun-
| try had established the absolute free
| coinage of silver, but the panic had
never taken places On the contrary the
premium to which gold had been forced
| acted as a natural and efficient cause
OF protection and industries Sprang up
on the republic, which, with success in
| all other branches of business, at the
end of one year, placed 81, 100000 of sur
| plus money. in the national treasury.
| Such prosperity could never come UNI
der the gold standard and the speaker
| declared that if itsMas continued, many
| of the people of this country would be
| expatriated and be forced to- carry on
their civilization In another land.
| Previous to the address of Mr.. Haw-
| thorne Francis FL. Clarke, also upon
| the money issue, advocated free coin
| for the alleged present financial de-
preston. IS ~ re
| Prof. o. Carlson, Of St. Peter, ad-
dressed an immense gathering Of
Scand;navians at Payne and Cook
streets last evening upon the cause of
sound money and protection. The adj
| dress was in Swedish. Prof Carlson
outlined the problems of the campaign
| in simple and lucid manner, stripping
| the discussion of all intricate argu-
ments, and leaving a fund of valuable
| thoughts with his hearers. The Scan
dinavians of that portion of the city
| are very much alive to the issues of
| the campaign.

| held in White Bear during the present
campaign. Us
! George P. Haupers, of the Fifth
ward has consented at the request of

date for sheriff. Mr.. Haupers is con-
