PATIcRK HENRY wINsroNs SPEECH.
There was a great ratification OF the
republican friends Of free silver at the
Auditorium, Spokane, on Saturday night,
and the lowest estimate places the num-
Der present at 100 but it was only lirit-
ed by the seating and standing capacity
Of the great hall. Judge George
Turner, Cyrus, Happy, Attorney Gen.
eral Jones, p. II. Winston, Judge
Blake, Mayor Belt, and Judge John r.
Mcbride were among the speakers while
many other distinguished citizens occu-
pied the stage, and kilograms and let
ters endorsing the movement we're re-
ceived from all parts OF the state. Mr..
Winston's speech was the most unique OF
all and as he is known 30 we'll in this
section TIE HERALD takes pleasure in re-
producing il. Mr.. Winston's presence
was greeted with cheer. He said:
This meeting is for US. who. four
years ago voted republican ticket, to
organize the state OF Washington for free
dom and silver. l am Chicago plat
form republican. / am w. j. Bryan
republican. (Cheers.) There assembled
in Chicago July the most illustrious,
the most patriotic, the most remarkable
convention this century has witnessed.
Brave men repudiated the party that be.
trayed them, as I wish the republican
party had done at st. LOUIS. AT
Chicago were the people; at st. Louis
were railroad presidents and receivers, in
their private cars. The republican party
is divided and the democratic party is
divided. We can not win without union,
so let us silvermen unite (cheers). l
agree with every sentence, every line, ev-
cry sentiment OF that platform. Cleveland
has gone fishing and Dave Hill has gone
home. On that platform we have pa
triot. He was born at time not to
have any preiudices of the great conflict
He has grown up to see the country
placed in the hands Of the moneyed in
terests, and the misery caused thereby.
don't object to rich men, bat object to
people getting rich by legislation. Let
US get together. II We don't, 1t will be
the fault of the democrats and the popu-
lists, for it won't be the fault OF the free
silver republicans. They say that we
want protective tariff. The tariff on
hops is rs cents a pound, and they are
selling for four, so all the raiser has got
to do is to go to the government and get
his 81 cents profit. Tariff is the trouble.
Then they say We want to pay our debts
in 50-cent dollars. Well, If have got to
pay for goods with 81 dollars / am going
where | can get them the cheapest
That is the kind of silver republican
am. l say man who makes money
while he is president is dishopored.
Cleveland went into the White house
poor, and comes out worth $4,000, 900,
placing himself on the basis of real es
tate Spectator. But then ought not to
speak harshly OF the dead. Some OF those
fellows who are harping around that they
are republicans couldn't get into a kim
dergarten conducted by Abe Lincoln.
wanted Teller, but / am satisfied, and
with union we will wrest the state Of
Washington from the Seattle ring. How
many voters are there in this county :?
Well. say 1000. | never ran for anything,
and don't know. There was only one in
my party, and he has been running
around so fast that he couldn't be count
ed. There are not over 1000 in the
county that can be bulldozed into voting
for Mckinley, and we will send word to
Seattle that We have GOO majority for
Bryan. No, will carry the news over
myself. The banner of the democratic
party is slightly dis6gured, but is still In
the ring. What's, in a name, anyhow?
Some of these blubbering idiots go strut
ting about and proudly proclaim that they
are democrats, or republicans, or popu-
lists, and they don't know why they are
such. What matters what man is, If
he is patriot, and stands for silver at
