Two SOund-Money Democrats Speak

do not favor a third electoral ticket in this
State, and who will. as rule, support Nc
Kin1ey on the currency issue in the coming
election, held an enthusiastic meeting at
Music Hall in this city tonight The hall
was packed to the doors with an audience
numbering between 1000 and 5000, who lis
tened with great intereSt to speeches by
ex-Congressman w. BoUrke Cochran, OF
New York, and Congressman John K.
Cowen, of Maryland president and one of
the receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
way. Both speakers were applauded to the
echo. Henry A. Parr, of tiais city, presided,
and the list of one hundred or more vice
presidents included many of the most
prominent business men in Baltimore and
other cities of Maryland.
Mr.. Cochran made the principal address.
He was frequently interrupted, especially
by man in one of the galleries, who final
ly became so persistent that the crowd
cried Put him out put him out" At the
first mention of Mr.. BryanS name by the
New York orator the crowd broke into

Cochran could again make himself heard

The man in the gallery yelled: TIL bet it's
a forgery, and the crowd again demanded
that he be put out. Don't put him out
said Mr.. Cochran; '.let me answer his
question. This quotation is from Mr.. Bry-
ans New York organ, and if it is a forgery
his friends have perpetrated it" He
continued 1--WE will show the Popocrats
how the Democrats can treat them with
forebearance, and let them remain here
but if the gentleman in the gallery thinks
he can discomfort me with demonstrations

understand with whom he is dealing" This
captured the crowd and thereafter Mr..
Cochran was permitted to proceed without
interruption. His address was mainly one
of dramatic effect rather than of an argu-
mentative character and lasted something
more than an hour.
Mr.. Cowen followed him with a clean-cut
argument the financial questions is

NAL of the oft-reDeated charge that the
employees of the B. q o. were being coerced
