should return resolutions instructing
for Lind and Day.
The usual gap here was filed by
Gilbert reading Bryan's speech made
at Pittsburg. Gilbert also took occa-
sion of the gap to declare that he was
not an anarchist. Further, he said,
that it was time to quit worshipping
the almighty dollar and get down to
worshipping the man.
Andrew Stewart was called on for a
speech and finally gave the audience
just a little whirl of his eloquence.
eve are on the eve of a great political
upheaval," he said. "In 1860 when
the question of slavery was up politi-
clans tried to compromise the question.
But that question couldn't be settled
until it was settled right. So it is with
silver. Politicians were trying to COM
promise that question but no compro.
mise will be accepted and all the gold
of plutocratism's pocket will not down
it. Woe be to that political party that
tries to work off on side issue. Four
years ago tariff was made the issue.
After CIeyeland's election crash
came. Congress was convened and
the silver clause of the Sherman bill
was repudiated. The panic continued.
Prices were lower and are lower. The
outcome of this battle will he polit-
ical revolution. The tide cannot be
stemmed. Bryan will be the man, be-
cause patriotism isn't dead and the
American people are not bound by
party but by principle"
Here the speaker reviewed early
Republican days. He said that that
party was the party of Wall and Lom-
bard streets. He was glad to see that
Democrats had broken away from the
bosses. 81 am in favor of the union
of these reform forces in such a man
ner that the different reform elements
of this county can get together. I am
in favor of appointing committee
here for the purpose of comforting re-
garding the nomination of ticket" +"
VIM. Crooks was called on here for
a speech. But he was not feeling that
way and after stating that he sane
toned all that was said by Messrs.
