Democratic Rally at Benton.

Shortly after noon, last Saturday,
delegations began pouring in from all
quarters until great mass of people
had assembled. The Bendertown
Cornet Band and the Jackson Drum
Corps furnished music for the occa-
sion. AS the weather was inclement
and cold, the large hall of the Nc
Henry House was filled to overflow
ing. There was a large number Of
women present that enthused Demo-
cratic ardor After the meeting was
called to order by the committeeman,
the following officers were chosen:
President, Daniel McHenry, of Still
water Secretaries, John c. Wenner
and A. J. Derr; Vice Presidents, II.
F. Everett, Edward Flynn, J. w.
Perry, Jacob Welliver, William Tay-
lor, Hon. James McHenry, John r.
Keeler and others, whose names we
failed to obtain. Before the presid-
ing officer took his chair, the chair
man of the Democratic Committee of
Columbia county, William Chrisman,
mounted the platform and gave cheer
ing news in regard to the prospects of
great Democratic victory, both in
the nation and the county, and urged
the whole Democratic vote to be
polled by IL o'clock noon on the day
Of November 3. If by that time any
absent voters were discovered, they
should Immediately be looked after.
The President, on taking his chair,
thanked the audience for the honor
conferred upon him, after which he
made some pertinent remarks in ref
erence to las conversion to the silver
standard, after which he introduced
Fred Ikeler, another boy orator from
Bloomsburg, who electrified the audi
ence for over an hour, interjecting in
his brilliant effort the most jocular
stories in Illustration of the points at
issue. His whole speech was tumul-
tuously applauded-especially at ev-
cry mention of the name of Bryan.
On his retirement from the stage the
Hon. James Kerr, of Clearheld
county, was introduced amid a storm
of cheers. The platform, which had
been erected for the speakers, he
remarked was like the St. Louis plat
-orm, "too shaky to stand upon"
He " desired to get in closer touch
with the plain, or common people,
and hence occupied the space between
the platform and the people. Mr..
Kerr was in truth "spellbinder."
This was one of the most remarkable
speeches ever delivered in Benton. |
His argument was unanswerable, con.
vinCing and conclusive. We have |
not the space to report the speech,
but here is single point; In pub
lie discussion with an opponent, his
gave this illustration of the
principle at issue; "Suppose that a
man has $1,000 in gold coin and
81, 900 in silver dollars in his house,
and his house burns down, and the
fire destroys the government stamp of
both metals, he can take his gold to
the mint and have it recoined, but the
silver he could not get recoined, and |
thereby would lose $500" The |
answer to this proposition was that
the Democrats proposed to restore
silver to its former position free |
coinage at a ratio of I6 to 1, and in
the event of accident by fire, under
the above circumstances, the man in |
question would lose nothing" The
speech was tumultuously applauded |
