William ]. Reed, an old soldier Of the
side which wore the gray, followed with
few apt stories which kept his listen

way of ridiculing the gold bugs which is
very amusing. He said all the difference
between the goldbugs and the silverites

Judge w. F. Henning came next with
an instructive address in which he drew
q strong comparison between the condi-

drifting toward under the gold standard

Then Frank Sheidler was introduced
and raised several laughs at the ex-
pense of the advocates of monometal-
lism, as he sent the shafts of his wit

ments. Speaking of the present silver

God we trust" he said if God could trust
those fellows all these years for the other
A cents, he would probably trust the
great common people for some years yet

silver its proper coinage value.
Mrs. Annie B. Andrews spoke in

finally Colonel Messmore, with several
sharp hits, declared himself in favor Of

Mrs. Andrews had taken seat along

The Woman's Bryan Silver club had
quite an interesting gathering on the
platform of the wigwam during the af-
ternoon yesterday, and as a result qui1e
a number of the ladies wore Bryan sill

THE WIGwAM TONIGHT
Hon. A. ]. Utley Will Deliver the Ad-
dress on the Financial Issue

A. J. Utley is a very clear, interesting
and instructive speaker, and so thor
oughly we'll informed upon the financial
situation as sometimes to be called the
free silver champion of the Pacific coast.
At the wigwam tonight he will. in his
usual lucid manner, make very plain,
clear and conclusive the great and grow
ing evils arising from the adoption of
the single gold standard and the incal-
culable benefits to be derived from a
return to the bimetallic system of for
mer years. The thought and study and
careful preparation which the Judge
has bestowed upon the money question
have made him familiar with all phases
Of the subject and have given him rare
qualifications so to explain and illustrate
the matter that any one who desires
NAV readily understand it in all essen
tial relations to production, prosperity
and progress.

LOS ANGELES THEATER-Tonight
will present an innovation at the Los Ange-
len theater. For the past season in east
ern cities some of the happiest evenings
for all concerned have been when the
knights and ladies of the wheel have hon.
ored the knights and ladies of Thespis
with their presence on wheelman's night.
The Los Angeles Athletic club and the
wheelmen have combined to make tonight
rousing success at the Los Angeles the

Frawleys is one of their greatest suc-
cesses. The Highest Bidder, and will be re-
peated but once, on Friday evening. This
is the last week of the Frawleys, the en-
gagement closing on Saturday evening.

The following extract from the San

in a prologue and four acts and will be
staged here with the same scenery effects
and attention to detail as in the original
production. Sale of seats opens this morn
ing.
BURBANK THEATER-The red glare
of Mephisto will throw weird light upon
the audience at the Burbank for one week
commencing tonight. OF course all eyes
will center upon Mr.. L. Roberts. and in
tensely watch the manners in which he
interprets the most difficult Of parts, which
few men are capable of rendering cor
rectly. Mr.. Roberts ability to play the
role has never been questioned. 1t seems
by nature fitted for the part. tall, grace
full, lithesome. with a. voice, wonderful for
its articulation. 1t is said Mr.. Roberts
is a regular Beau Brummel of devils. He
will be supported by Miss Olive Martin,
who is considered one of the handsomest
women upon the American stage and has
gained for herself a reputation that few
actresses ever attain. Manager Malim Is
to be congratulated for obtaining this ex-
cellent attraction, and with its prices re-
naming as usual the Burbank will un-
doubtedly do its red letter week Of the
season.
The herald., 1896-10-22

Charles A. Barlow has been given a roy
al reception by the friends of silver. He
has also created an excellent impression.
Mr.. Barlow has improved greatly as a
public speaker and he is an excellent
campaigner.
The Republicans are laying great store
on the meeting Thomas B. Reed Is to
have next week. Mr. Reed will un-
doubtedly be given a great reception.
He Is one of the great men of the coun-
try and 1t would be strange indeed If he
were not given royal welcome.
A great many people. will turn out
from curiosity to see the mar who as
speaker of the national house of repre-
sentatives did so much to assist Coils
p. Huntington in passing the funding
bill of the Pacific railroads. They want
to see the man who labored so hard to
defeat the mineral lands bill in the in
terest of the railroad. They also want
to look on the man who so materially
helped Uncle Coils in his Santa Monica
harbor Job.
The parade will also be a big affair
next Tuesday. The Republicans are
spending thousands of dollars upon 1t.
Men, so 1t is claimed, are, in some cases,
to be given a dollar apiece to march in
the line. There will be long string
and there are many employees who will
turn out merely to please their employ
ers. This Is sad, but it Is true.
The same night. Tuesday next. the
Silver Republicans will hold their last
meeting Of the campaign at the silver
wigwam. The intention is to make it a
rOuser. There will be a multiplicity of
good speakers to make short talks.
Saturday evening next the Hon. JEFF
ferson Chandler will speak at the Wig
wan. He is one of the best informed
speakers in the country on the silver
question and every voter in Los Angeles
who can should embrace the opportunity
to hear him.
There exists no reason on earth why
any of the friends of Bryan should grow
at all discouraged over the outlook. A
careful poll of Los Angeles county dis
closes the fact that he will carry the
county by 1000 plurality.
Reports received from the states of
Indiana, Michigan and Illinois, through
private sources, indicate that he is GER
tain to carry those states. w. H. Hin
richsen of Illinois, who was quoted
few mornings ago as having given up
Illinois as far as Bryan was concerned,
emphatically denies this story. He says
Bryan will walk off with the cheese by
10000 plurality.
About Nebraska there need be no fear
Minnesota is in doubt and so is Iowa.
The boasted Mckinley boom which you
may hear is at every street corner is not
there. The betting has been with the
odds of to on Mckinley. Now Bryan
men are compelled to hunt money at
to 1. But then there is an old and a trite
saying to the effect that presidents are
not made in pool rooms.

FLY THE FLAG
A Recommendation to All Friends OF
Bryan and Good Government

The executive committees Of all Bryan
silver parties recommend to all persons
favoring the cause to wear upon the
lapels of their coats as an appropriate
emblem of their cause and their love for
their country, its laws and its honor,
miniature American flag upon silver
ribbon. The committees make this rec
ommendation because they believe the
people who are advocating financial
policy of America for America, as op-
posed to those who are advocating for
eign financial policy, of England for En-
land, are the only ones who truly repre-
sent the country upon the issues in this
campaign. The committees lat their
headquarters, will furnish such badges
to all who may call for them. Let our
colors be red, white and blue and let our
political enemies exclusively appropri
ate the yellow.

GROWING VERY WARM.

The national campaign in Los Angeles

on the lapel of the coat Then there

~ can be truthfully said that the Re-
pupllcans are not going to be able to
arrogate to themselves the exclusive
use OF the flag, although many of them
seem 70 nave the idea that 1t exists sole
~ for their benefit.
Democrats and the friends of Mr. Rry-
an generally are coming to the front
With the flag on their coat. Every advo-
cate OF Bryan should wear one if he can
get where he can obtain one and if he
can get one nowhere else he can at the
silver Republican headquarters at S18
West Second street.
The supporters of Bryan and silver IN
Los angeles are far more numerous than
tne adherents of Hanna and the gold
standard and they do not need tags to
indicate their preference. They are in
teiiigent men, good citizens and they are
TIED to no political boss \7r party
Tne neatest badge that has yet been
sent out in this campaign is that of the
Silver Republican club 1t consists of
little flag pinned against white sat

publican CLUB" from which is suspended
some silver tassels in miniature The
members of the club were furnished
with the badge yesterday ard those who

and do so
