TORE DOWN THE FLAG.
The Logical Sequence Of Bryan's
Addresses I'm Chicago.

Addresses In Chicago.
Chicago. ILL.,. Oct. 29.-Mr. Bryan's visit
to Chicago is proving great disappoint-
menf to his managers. While his frantic
efforts and mad rush from place to place
in the city have attracted many people, a
large proportion of them not only wear
yellow badges. but show their loyalty to
Mckinley by cheers for him at the con-
clusion of Bryan's remarks.
Wherever Bryan speaks Mckinley speak
ers put In their appearance and IL IL were
possible for Bryan's speeches here to have
any influence on voters. 1t would be more
than Offset by the work of the Mckinley
speakers throughout the city. Senator
Tillman's appearance ir the public squares
of Chicago at this time are likened unto
the notorious sand lot' appeals of Den
mis- kearney In San Francisco. and his
work Is doing good service for the sound
money cause. After the tenants of Tenn

had listened to Bryan's speech today. they
tore down the American flag and tram
Piled IL under foot This created an in
tense Indignation among the other occu-
pants of the building. and for a time 1t
looked as IL serious trouble would result.
After Chairman Hanna had this evening
carefully examined and revised the polls
from the several states, including those
recently regarded as doubtful, he declared
that he was now absolutely certain that
Mckinley and Hobart would be elected by
a much larger majority than he had here
fofore anticipated. He said there was no
longer the least doubt that all the Pa
cific slope states. Kansas, Nebraska, the
Dakotas. Minnesota, Tennessee. West Vir-
ginia. Maryland and Delaware would
choose Mckinley and Hobart electors on
next Tuesday.

CLINE WAS SORRY.


Blaine, Oct 2a-Special--The joint de-
bate In this city tonight between Hermon
Craven, of Seattle. and c. f. Cline. Popu-
list candidate for the legislature from
whatcom county. resulted in a most fat
tering victory for Mr.. Craven. and mads
many votes for the Republican ticket.
The question debated was: Gould the
nation unaided and alone maintain the
parity between Foie and silver under free
and unlimited coinage at ratio OF IS
20 l."
aIr Craven opened tie debate and for
an hour gave most convincing and iogi-
cal presentation Of the question Cline fol-
lowed and was given al hour and thirty
minutes to reply. He had uttered only
few words when II was evident 20 the
audience that he was completely over
matched. He devoted abou. twenty-five
minutes in an attempt 10 answer Mr.. Crs-
ven but his attempt was so weak that he
abandoned the question entirely and de-
voted the balance OF his time to an en-
deavor to convince his audience that Mr.
Craven did not know what he was talking
about As he sat down there was hardly
q cheer.
Mr. Craven was given ten minutes IN
which 10 reply. and in that brief space OF
time gave his opponent such a scaihing
arraignment that the hairs of Cline's
head grew white. As Mr.. Craven sat
down the irlmense crowd arose as one
and shook the rafters with Its cheers for
Mckinley, protection and AR. Craven.

JUDGE BURKE's CONVERTS.

what was not only the largest. but the
most representative audience that ever
assembled In Learned's opera house TO
listen to "A political speech, Judge Thomas
Burke. of Seattle. one of the few consis-
tent Democrats in the state. last evening
delivered an address that not only held
his hearers spellbound for two solid
hours. but has been the cause of a great
deal OF discussion on the streets and In
business houses ever since.
Judge Burke lost TO time I'm rrelinf-
naries. hat got down 10 work at once.
showing the innumerabie failacies OF the
claims OF the Popocrats. not overlooking
the chance to denounce in scathing terms
those features of the platform adopted
at Chicago which have driven all consis-
tent and iaw-abiding Democrats tempo
srarfly from under the banner of that or
ganization. His word picture of faith
hope and charity, impersonated by
Messrs. Bryan. Tilinan and Altgeld, was
a clever hit. and sufficed 10 impress upon
the minds of several who had come to
scoff that the trio was one representing
anarchy and n general overthrowing OF
the laws which have in past years made
this country the prosperous one IL Is.
He declared that. had Jackson been
alive, he would have adopted the same
honorable course that has been the stand
of President Cleveland in this great crisis,
and the great applause that went up at
the mention OF the two names proved
conclusiveiy that the great contingent OF
Democrats in the audience were heartily
in accord with the speaker and the men
he mentioned.
One of the pleasant characteristics OF
Judge Burke's able argument Ia that he
refrasned from all efforts at oratorfcai
flight. putting the question fairly and
squarely before the people In plain. ev-
ery-day. workingman's English. II is es-
timated by conservative members OF both
parties that the able work Of Judge
Burke has pu, the seal on the fate Of

instead Of 103. They shout about the
greatness of America. and oppose a finan-
cial policy from England. As matter of
fact. we were all imported 80 years ago.
and many of those who are talking about
a finance which Is imported are OF very
recent importation. They forced upon
England. for there is not another free
trade country on the earth.
They talk about per CAPITA when as
matter of fact the most prosperous four
teen years in our history was when we
had less money than now. These fellows
are ignorant; that is the cause of their
troubles" he said. amid much applause.
Just about this time in his speech some
one in the audience called out to Mr. Reed:
Tell US something about the funding
BILL" The gentleman's face flashed. and
the merry twinkle in his eye gave place TO
one of fire. as he shouted back: II could
not enlighten ignorance so dense as that.
You are one of those Is cents fellows. who
have no more sense than to accept the .
cents to cause the disturbance"
There were no more questions asked Mr..
Reed. He spoke of the purchase OF i.5oo.-
90 ounces of silver month by the gov
ernment. and said that there was a de-
mand. but the supply was SO greatly in
creased that the price fell. He said II
would be so with free coinage. that the
supply would become so great that the
government could not maintain the price.
He said the ideas advocated by Bryan
were reprobated by all thoughtful men.
Once during his speech the mention Of
Bryan's name was checrcd.
Previous TO the speaking handbilis pur-
porting 10 be an article in favor of silver
by Mr.. Reed from the Fortnightly Review
OF June. 1894. were circulated in the crowd.
While IL is undoubtedly true that there
were many advocates OF free coinage in
the audience. IL was largely made up OF
Republicans, and the meeting was a grand
success.
Mr.. Reed goes to San Francisco and
then to Santa Rosa at 9 o'clock tomorrow.

Evening star., 1896-10-23
The IndiEnity to Mr.. Carlisle.

The disgraceful scene enacted at Coving-
ton last night Is instruo tive, and will bear
fruit, far beyond the confines Of that state
or territory. 1t marks distinctly the despe-
ration of the silver cause, and shows how
far its more extreme advocates are willing
to go to forward their ends.
The bare outline of the episode is suffi-
cient to convey the story. The most dis
tinguished citizen of the state-fourteen
years member of the lower house of
Congress and three times Speaker of that
body; for two years member of the Sem
ate: for nearly four years now the Secre-
tary of the Treasury-presents himself in
his old home by appointment to discuss the
political questions of the day. In his au-
dience are the mayor Of the town and
many ladies There is no reason on any,
body's part to expect partisan TRADE.
The speakers reputation for polite and
fair discussion is national. His intellectual
qualities require neither rhetoric nor fury
to carry them along. Yet ne scarcely en-
ters upon a well-considered task when a
hundred or more turbulent rowdies show
their teeth and inaugurate a system of low
affronts.
Whence comes their inspiration? More
Immediately, from a bar room in the To-
cality- The keeper of the place is a silver
shouter. He conceives the idea of inter-
fering with Mr.. Carlisle's meeting by call
ing his people together at meeting to be
held in the open air IN front of his doggery.
But the authorities forbid that The place,
then. fills up-probably by arrangement
with squad of "bums,' who fill them
selves Up with whisky and prepare for ac-

tion. Their shouting attracts other ''bums. :"
and in a short time this crowd invades the
hall where Mr.. Carlisle Is to speak, and
lays" for him The whole thing Is low
the idea Of tough, executed by toughs,
whom he has made drunk enough to out
rage all decency.
The noise, once begun was of course kept
Up. Rowdies. in such circumstances, rarely
desist. They know their power. They
have nothing to lose. The presence of la
dies Is no restraint upon them. They would
egg lady quite as readily as they would
a man Of whom they disapprove.
Can any man in his senses doubt which
side Is injured by such displays? Mr.. Car
Isle certainly has not been injured. He ad-
Vertised a speech on the political questions
of the day, and the report shows that, in
the face Of oft-repeated affronts, he deliv-
cred speech replete with argument. his
tory and wise conclusions. There was not
a word in 1t to which any silver man could
reasonably make objection on the lines of
to be a speech to which anybody could
listen with profit, except some drunken
loafer bent upon violence.
The silver campaign has from the outset
possessed some strange and startling fea-
lures. 1t began with a nomination by
frenzy. A national convention was swept
OF its feet by stump speech, and in
that condition nominated an inexperienced
young man, whose most striking quality Is
a capacity for agitation. 1t has been for
warded largely by forgery. Fictions, pure
and simple, and garbled speeches have been
sown broadcast over the land. The era of
fury seems now to have arrived. when
speakers are at the mercy of mobs. The
most distinguished men of the opposition
are not accorded the reception to which
they are eminently entitled by every con-
sideration Of fair play. Frenzy. Forgery,
Fury. Last picture of all. let us hope, may
be funk at the polls, so pronounced as
to dissolve for all time so dangerous and
so unworthy a coalition.
