An Enthusiastic Turnout to Listen to
Senator White

POMONA, Oct. 28.-Despite the big
storm of yesterday, the rally announced
to be held at the silver wigwam was held
in the New Armory opera hall. which
was prettily decorated by the ladies who
have the silver interest at heart. Though
the large parade planned had to be dis
pensed with on account of the weather,
and the noise made was of small mo-
ment, it in nowise dampened the enthu-
siasm of those who braved the storm to
hear United States Senator White, who
arrived at the last moment, having to
make the last three miles of his journey
by team on account of the washout
near Spadra-
At o'clock the opera hall was filled to
the doors with an eager crowd to hear
the distinguished senator, while the bal
cony was crowded with ladies. Upon
the stage were sixteen young ladies
dressed in white with one young lady
attired in a gown of golden color, who
represented the ratio Of the two metals;
also the Bryan Silver Glee club. Mr..
Cogswell, who was chairman of the
evening, introduced the senator to the
audience, and for nearly two hours he
ably presented the doctrine of the free
silver cause. He held his hearers from
beginning to end, and many were the
expressions that the address was the
ablest of any yet presented by the sill
YER force of speakers.
THE members of the Bryan Silver
club are planning huge demonstration
for Saturday night. They are arrang-
ing to have the largest parade of the
campaign and the biggest blowout Of
any yet given.
