AN INSPIRING SPECTACLE
Fair Ones Are Fully Alive to
the Emergency.
They Demonstrate That They Can BE
Relied Upon to Do Their Whole
Duty on Tuesday Next-Ringing
Speeches and UnbOunded Enthu-
siasm.

evening was nearly as large as that
OF the previous evening, when the Dem
ocrats assembled.
The audience, of course, was COM
posed principally of women, and they
were very enthusiastic. The several
speakers were vigorously applauded
and all sentiments expressed were gen
erously endorsed.
1t is to be lamented that in the top
gallery a large number of the hoodlum
element congregated and disturbed the
speakers. There were many OF this
class, too, and it appeared as if they
were trying to see how much noise and
diScord they could make.
The presence of a policeman would
have been d good thing for the people.
Three of these hoodlums got into the
top box on the east side and after max
ing d din there rushed back overhead
the scenery and engaged in tussling
match, uttering some very diStaStetul
language, all of which was plainly
heard on the stage and in the house.
The names of the trio were obtained
and it is said some arrests will follow
today on a. charge of disturbing the
peace. There viii be plenty OF wit

MRS. c. E. ALLEN.
After a choice patriotic selection by
the band, Mrs. c. E. Allen called the
meeting to order and made a few re-
marks. She reviewed the work of the
Non-partisan Bryan club at some
length and was lavish in her praise Of
Mrs. ]. FewNon Smith. who first con-
ceived the idea of organization
This non~partisan idea is not a new
one by any means. declared the
speaker. While in Washington last Win
ter l attended a, session of the senate
and heard John Sherman declare in
favor of the great and good man Grover
Cleveland, who had preserved the gold
standard, and also heard David B. Hill
commend John Sherman. If that was
not non-pdrtisan, what action can be
non-partisan?
After an earnest declaration in favor
of the cause of Bryan and the silver
cause, she introduced
L. E. HALL.
candidate for county commissioner. Mr..
Hall remarked that it was well that the
people formed non-partisan clubs and
worked in tine interest of silver. The
first non-paTtisan club was formed in
ST. Louis June 16, when the national
Repu bhcan conv ention declared the ex-
listing gold standard must be adopted.
Not much, Hanna" Gaughter.)
For d time we did not know where
to go, but we decided to go with Teller
and our own Cannon, whom their Kisses
could not spike. daughter and cheerS.)
The Democratic party declared
against the gold standard, which was
anti-American.
Mr.. Hall read the Democratic plank
on the money question and declared
that was the doctrine many of the old
time Republicans believed in.
He was there because the Democratic
money plank sui1ed the Populsts, OF
which he was a member. A vote for
William J. Bryan is a vote to clothe the
children; to employ the idle men of the
land: to perDetudte a, system Of free
government. CA voice: And the 3rd of
November will show it, too" Cheers.)
When they talk Of 50-cent dollars they
speak of that of which they know Moth
ing. We can maintain the parity of
our money. After % years of gold
monometalism. we see there is some
thing wrong. VIII we not be brave
enough to act and establish a. financial
system Of our own? Mr.. Hall closed
with an appeal to all to vote for Bryan.
Two little girls then sang a song COM
memorating the action Of Alien. Can
non and Kearns in boiling the Repub-
hcan convention, which was well re
ceiVed.
MISS S. L. MONROE.
Miss S. L. Monroe was introduced and

MISS FARNSWORTH.
Miss Julia Farnsworth, the next
speaker. thought it but fair that the
young ladies as we'll as the elder ladies
and men should have a say in the great
contest. The sentiment was heartily
applauded-
The speaker dwelt upon the dangers

silver. lives were constantly
sacrificed in the work which affords

men should be heard.
But there was a financial face to the
