Riddled.
The meeting at the wigwam last even
ing was one of the most phenomenal
gatherings ever convened in this
county.
1t was the last rally that will be held
in this campaign under the auspices Of
the Silver Republican club of Los An
geles county. and it was an assemblage
of which that gallant organization CT
true patriots may we'll feel proud. Ev-
cry man who was instrumental in bring
ing about the congregation of people
which gathered at the wigwam last
night can we'll take pride in his efforts,
for it was crowned with success and 1T
was in behalf of a righteous cause
the cause of William j. Bryan and the
people.
There were 7cC0 people crowded in
the space at the wigwam. 1t was the
greatest crowd that has been gathered
at any meeting in this campaign in this
city, save the one held yesterday AFTER
noon at Athletic park
The crowd and crush of people was
so great that the canvas sides to the
wigwam were torn down and the stand
ing space was thereby increased about
15OO.
1t was a remarkable throng of peo-
pie, too. They were intelligent, ana
they were earnest and enthusiastic
Furthermore, every man in the vast
audience will on next Tuesday go to .he
polls and cast his vote for William j.
Bryan for president of the United
States.
oI,a
of the eloquent speakers who addressed
them mentioned the name of William j.
Bryan. They simply cried themselves
hoarse with shouts of approval
Thomas r. Reeds argument for the
gold standard was simply riddled and
shown up with all of its weakness and
fallacial theories exposed under the
light of reason. Mr.. Reeds record on
the Chinese question, his record on the
funding bill, his record on the mineral
lands bill and his record on the Santa
Monica harbor question was exposed to
the great delight of the thousands as
sembled. yr5
Charles F. Edison, one of the earnest
Silver Republicans of Los Angeles
county, acted as chairman of the even
ing.
JEFF CHANDLER'S REMARKS.
The first speaker introduced was Hon.
jefferson Chandler, the brilliant orator
who on Saturday evening last had given
from the same platform one of the ablest
arguments for the RECOMMENDATION of
silver that has been heard in California
this year. Last evening Mr.. Chandler
was given an ovation by his auditors,
and when quiet was restored he pro-
ceeded to give them some more of his
logical reasoning in support of the con-
tention that it is to the interest of the
whole country to proceed at once to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ration of 16 to 1, without the aid
or consent of any other nation.
Taking up the sole and solitary rea-
son advanced by Mr.. Reed for the relief
of the burdens the people of this coun-
try are now staggering under Mr..
Chandler proceeded to show that it was
no reason at all.
His address evoked great and repeat
ed enthusiasm from the people, and
when he resumed his seat three rOusing
cheers were given him.
HON. M. F. TAYLOR'S SPEECH.
Hon. M. F. Taylor of Denver was the
next speaker. Mr. Taylor was known
to the crowd, for he has spoken here be-
fore. He was given a reception such
as few public speakers receive at the
hands of a Los Angeles audience, and
lie talked for over an hour.
Mr.. Taylor is unquestionably an ora
tor of great ability, and he has way
of presenting facts that makes him
forcible and convincing speaker, as we'll
as a great vote gatherer Said Mr..
Taylor:
.'Who was it voted against the Chi
nese exclusion act?"
tom Reed" was the response that
came from 5000 throats.
Who was it voted ,9 d, for the Pacific
TON Reed" was the great cry that
went up again.
"Who was it that packed the house
committee on Pacific railroads to secure
the passage of the funding bill?"
Speaker Tom Reed" was the cry that
went up like a whirlwind
Yet" said Mr.. Taylor, this is the
man whom Mark Hanna has sent to
the Pacific coast to tell the people of
California that they should vote him
and not William j. Bryan into the White
House. No, no-a thousand times no."
And then the audience simply went
wild. They cried aloud their disapprov
al of Thomas B. Reed, and they ap-
plauded the sentiments of Mr.. Taylor
with hearty unanimity.
Mr.. Taylor spoke for about an hour,
and the people to a man stayed to hear
him. They approved of his doctrine,
and they manifested the fact that they
were with him. heart and soul.
The last grand rally of the Silver Re-
publican club Of Los Angeles county
could not have been a greater success
than it turned out to be.
Tonight though, there will be an
other speaker at the wigwam equally
as gifted as either of the gentlemen who
spoke last evening. That man is George
s. Patton of San Gabriel.a a silver tongued
orator, and an honest, conscientious
man. He is one of the citizens whom
the Southern Pacific railroad company
proposes to retire from politics, and he
will have a few words to say to the
people which 1t would well repay every
man who can get within the sound Of
his voice to hear
WAS A ROUSER.
