Of men aggregating about fifty. The

A SILVER MEETING
An enthusiastic meeting of the Bryan
club of Lamanda Park was held in their
hall Monday night at which the speak
ers were George S. Patton and Rev. r.
M. Webster. Mr.. Patton's address was
a clear, cogent and forcible argument
in favor of restoring the money of the
people to the place where the fathers
of the government established it in 1892
Mr.. Patton's address stripped the mask
of pretended friendlness to the use of
both silver and gold from the Repub-
ltcan party's professions and revealed
the reafpurpose of committing the gov
ernment to the single gold standard in
all its heartless unscrupulousness and
hideous selfishness.
Rev. r. M. Webster followed Mr.. Pat
ton in calm. wise, dispassionate pre-
sentation of the moral side of the IS.
sues of the day and showed how the
supporters of Mr.. Bryan were the sup
porters Of those principles and ideas
which make for free governments and
the happiness Of the whole American
people.
Professor ]. G. Clark sang one of his
beautiful compositions and then by re-
quest recited his beautiful poem: If
Christ Should Come Today.
