liam d. DAILY, of Hudson county, last
evening an audience of Trenton silverites
at Washington Hail. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the William D.
DAILY Association. 1t was quite tran
sient assemblage that the big Senator
had to talk to. They kept going and
coming, and when the largest number
were present there were not more than
three hundred, while at other times the
crowd would dwindle considerably.
Tne crowd stood with their hats on,
while Senator Daily talked silver for ap
hour and half. 1t was not a very en-
thusiastlc gathering, but whenever a
cheer was wanted one OF the members of
the club seated on the stage had but to
signify that it w2S time to applaud and it
was forthcoming.
Bryan's name always called forth com
mendation, while the mention of the
name of Cleveland or Mckinley invoked
plenty or Kisses. When during the course
of mis- remarks the Senator mentioned the
hell with Platt.'' The audience felt at
liberty at all times to comment on the
speakers arguments, and chin1ed in
many times.
Wilkes Post Band discoursed such pop-

after the speaking: While the Silver
Gladiator from Hudson was expounding
his silver arguments, James w. Lanning
of this city, entered and was accorded a
seat on the stage with the other celeb
rites: Among the latter were John
Walsh, Daniel Hornen, J. G. Burns, John
O'Brien, Edward Dignan, Charles H. Zim-
norman, Charles Stitch and several of the
other leaders of the Popocratic party.

The many failures since the siege of
business depression has come upon US he
attributed to the scarcity of money. Hill

was impossible to get money to continue
their business, had failed.
Senator DAILY mentioned the names of
many other firms that had gone under
of late and blamed it all on the demone-

When the Senator had finished, three
hearty cheers were given for him ana a
short address was made by William Gal
lagher. a miller from Pennsylvania, who
was introduced as the Honorable" VIII

few minutes.
When Senator DAILY finished he left the
hall and while Mr.. Gallagher was talk

his audience soon dwindled away.
