New York by 100000.

BALTIMORE, Sept. PA thoroughly
sympathetic audience numbering between
1900 and 5000 assembled in Music Hall
here tonight to greet Gen. John NJ. Palmer,
of Illinois, and Simon B. Buckner, of Ken
lucky, the nominees of the National Demo-
cratic party for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. Both gentlemen
were hailed with the most vociferous APP
plause and the points in their address were
received with shouts of approval. The
meeting was held under the auspices of the
National Democracy of Maryland, and
prior to the introduction of the national
candidates an electoral ticket for the State
was unanimously ratified by those present
j. J. Donaldson, of this city, presided, and
the list of vice presidents embraced the
names of many Of the representative mer-
chants and financiers of the city and State
General Palmer was escorted upon the
platform by Ex-Governor William Pinckney
White, and when the audience caught sight
of them it rose en- masse and cheered itself
hoarse This demonstration was repeated
when General Buckner appeared. In the
course of his remarks General Palmer men,
toned the name of VIM. j. Bryan, and it
was hailed with mingled Kisses and APP
plause lasting five minutes. Every mention
of the names of Mckinley and Cleveland
called forth enthusiastic cheering. General
Palmer spoke in part as follows:
MIR. Chairman and citiZenS-I
will not deny that am greatly f1attered by
the kind words of your chairman and by
the kindness with which. you have received
me. have always acted upon my own
convictions of duty, and as L said on a
former occasion, l have had no one whom
l could properly invite to share my re-
m Yor am apd y to the ee pmeerae1
of the United States the Democratic
candidate for the presidency, and am
proud to be associated with the diStin-
guiShed candidate for the vice presidency"
General Palmer then referred to the fact
that he and his associate had long ago
differed to the relative rights of the
States and had met on more than bat
tlefield. He congratulated his countrymen
that both had survived and had lived to see
"our country again and that all of us
are loyal to the flag" Continuing, he said:
Now, you aware of the fact that there

to read them. There is what this little

Sewall, of Maine, for the vice presidency"
(ADplauSe and hiSSeS.)
General Palmer then reviewed the action
of the various party conventions, referring
especially to the financial planks. The
convention at Indianapolis, he asserted,
was content to submit it's claims to the
country upon declaration of principles,

vention declared that gold was the coin
OF large transactions and that silver could
pc used only as SUBSIDIARY coin. 1t did

The Republican party talked about the CO.
operation OF other nations. The Democrat

such cooperation was possible they knew
that other countries that are interested in
great commercial TRANSACTIONS mean the
commercial nations of the world-have no
desire to adopt, in any sense, the free

This So-called Democratic convention
assembled at Chicago denounced the
courts; it denounced the President for his
interference for the maintenance of public
order and for enforcement of the federal
laws. That was done in order to placate
a certain element. and it was done largely
under the influence of the present Governor

however that the real question now at is
sue IS the free coinage of silver, which
question he then proceeded to explain and
discuss at considerable length. Mr. Bry-

whole subject as if it were a thing of mere
legislation, and the Chicago convention de-
nounces this gold standard as a British

General Buckner, upon being introduced
