William J. Bryan spoke Tuesday
at New York in Tammany Hall.
The scenes of enthusiasm which
greeted the standard bearer Of Jeffer.
sonian Democracy was without pre-.
cedence in the history of the great
metropolis. Thousands of people
who were unable to gain admission
into the hall stood outside in the
drenching rain hoping to get view
Of the distinguished speaker and
hear the eloquent words that fell
from his lips as he pleaded the cause
of the Masses AT the close of his
speech at Tammany Hall Mr..
Bryan was driven to Union Square
whore thousands Of laboring men
were waiting to hear, him speak.
Thousands Of working men stood
in the rain with, hoisted umbrellas
waiting for their champion to ad-
dress them. Mr.. Bryan mounted
the stand and taking off his hat
bowed to ther audience and told
them that owing to his physical
exhaustion it was utterly impossi-
BILE for him to make another speech
that night. A few hours afterwards

The working men of Chicago are

a mammoth parade of coerced en-
ployes is to take place in Chicago
at an early day under the auspices
of the Labor Bureau of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee as
an object lesson to show their re-
sentiment at being forced to the po-
eition of serfs by their goldbug en-
ployers to whom they are dependent
upon for work. The parade will
be held at night and each of the
marchers will wear a mask to pre-
vent being recognized by their en-
ployers and no torches will be
carried. It is said that 40, 900 men
will be in line on that occasion.
Many of them are railroad employees,
who, while working but half time,
have been compelled to take from
their meagre earninge enough mon

Edison Keith, millionaire and for
forty years leading merchant Of
Chicago, committed suicide one day
last week by throwing himself into
Lake Michigan. Mr.. Keith was a
strong advocate of Sound money"
and it is said the possibility of the
success of free silver so preyed upon
his mind that he became demented
on the subject, and while in a state
of mental alteration settled the
financial question by jumping into
the lake. There was some method
in that goldbug's madness. TWAS
the very best thing that be could
have done under the circumstances.
What pity that the last one Of the
crazy boldbugs can't take such q
tumble. If old Mark Ham would
only follow suit, by jumping to the
bottom of the lake and pull his sack
in after him, what rejoicing there
would be in the land-why it would
would cause more hallelujahs to be
sung than the coming of the mil
lenpium.
