over. 1t was q ringing and patriotic
address. Astounding In object lessons.
The speaker challenged Anyone pres
ent to contradict any statement that
he might make. and il there was any
one present who doubted what
he said he would undertake
to crowd the 53-cent dollar down his
intellectual throat. He produced q
silver dollar and offered to vote for
Mckinley and donate $500 to boot to
anyone who would produce q dollar
coined by the United States which
would be any more potent to per-
form any function of commerce or
business. Why is it that 20 nickels,
worth less than 13 cents in intrinsic
value, are worth as much as q gold
dollar the world over. A dollar is
an ideal thing-purely the creation
Of law. and when they talk interna-
tional money. they are talking inter-
national rot. There never has been
international money and there will
be none until all the nations Of the
earth live under one flag.
Taking up the Mexican dollar ar
eument. he said you never saw q
Mexican dollar in this country any,
where. The moment it crossed the
Rio Grande it ceased to be Mexican
dollar, but became . piece of debased
bullion. Every nation has to make
its own money because it is purely
the creation Of law. The trouble 10
there is not enough money in the
country to transfer the contents
of overladen warehouses of the
east to the destitute, ill-clad and
ill-fed people of the west. A
voice asked il the millions spent
in liquor each year would re-
l eve the deplorable conditions, and
the speaker replied that indisputably
it would. The only difference be-
tween the slaves of the liquor habit
and the slaves Of the money power
was that one class was in voluntary
servility and the other in involun-
tary servitude. Let us release the
shackles.
Gov. Altgeld then appeared on the
stage and the house went wild. 1t
was such a manifestation of enthus.
iasm as no public official has ever re.
ceived in Rock Island before. The
governor wsspresented by Chairman
A. u. Huesing as an upright Judge
and the best governor Illinois ever
had.

Gov. Altgeld spoke to q mass

afternoon on the issues of the cam
paign, both national and state. The
plans had been to hold an open air
meeting on Market square. but
owing to the noise and confusion
there consequent upon traffic. at that
time Of day in particular. it was
determined to hold the meeting in
doors. But notwithstanding the
change in plans and the rumors bus
lily circulated by repu blicsns that the
governor would not be here owing to
the fact that it was Governors Dav
at the state fair at Springfield. there
was an immense outpuring Of peo-
pie. The governor came to Rock

the county committee to speak
here in the afternoon and at
Moline in tn, evening. The execu-
tive arrived from Aurora, where he
spoke to an immense meeting last
night, over the c.. B. & q. this
morning. accompanied by his private
secretary, ID. X. Levy. and was met
at the Burlington depot by Messrs.
L. W. Hurst and j. w. Potter and
driven to the Harper, where break

received the reception committee,

A conference was later held relative
to the arrangements for the after
noon and it was decided to hold the
meeting at the theatre.
At the Theatre.
The governor was escort ID to the
theatre by the Bryan club and a
large number Of additional repre-
sentative democrats, Bleuer's band
heading the procession. The streets
were thronged with people and there
was rush into the theatre the mo-
ment the doors opened. The house
never contained such an assem- blage
OF people. The aisles were packed
and every available particle Of space
was taken. Standing room was out
Of the question. On the stage were
hundred democrats.
The stage was prettily decorated
with flags and bunting and litho-
graphs Of democracy's greater leaders
in the present campaign. w. j.
Bryan and John P. Aitgeld.
An Echo From Colorado.
Bleuer's band played an overture,
when A. d. Huesing. as president OF
the day, introduced W. j. Kerr. OF
Colorado, who made . few brief re-
marks. 1t was his first visit to the
beautiful twin.cities of Rock Island
and Moline; he had found q few OBJ
ject lessons. He had been impressed
with the fact that there were plenty
Of object lessons here in the attitude
Of the factories. and he had come to
the conclusion that instead OF this
being q campaign OF education, it
WAS one Of coercion and intimida-
ton. The attitude OF the Deere
Pillow wo.ks and others in raising
the streamers they had. showed that
Mckinley and his associates owned
and controlled those factories. All
through the city he had seen that in
the windows of the banks the litho-
graphs of Tanner aud Mckinley had
been displayed today showing their
bond OF attachment, politically
speaking. in this campaign. Mr..
Kerr then went into 0 further dis.
cussion Of the existing political
conditions, and the object les
sons that were everywhere shown
in this campaign that should poin,

Magnificent Speech.
Gov. Altgeld was accorded a mag
nificent ovation as he arose to speak.
The governor opened with a grace
full and eloquent compliment to Rock
Island. He had always liked to talk
Of Rock Island. which, he said, was
a pushing. driving. enterprising
city. one whose fame has gone over
the state aud over the union. He
was gratitied to receive from such q
city such testimonial. It was
source of great pleasure and pride to
him to have the personal regard Of
the people. irrespective of how wide-
ly might be the differences of opin-
ion politically, Of what is. as Rock
Island is. one Of the many wonderful
cities Of the state which is the heart
of the union.
He followed with a reference to the
power and resources Of the state Of
Illinois. the growth of her institu-
tions and the magnitude of her en-
terPrises. and paid a glowing trib-
ute to her people. He then followed
with . description of the tax system
OF Illinois. showing the iniquitous
powers of wealth and influences which
retard and prevent any legislation
ten ling to strengthen and better our
revenue laws. He demonstrated
how. under our present defective
system of taxation, millions upon
millions OF dollars worth OF property
escaped taxation. He reviewed in
detail the history Of the last general
assembly both in its regular and
special sessions; how all legislation
tending to amend the revenue
laws was impeded and OBJ
structed by lobbyis lists sent
by the millionaire corporations and
individuals of Chicago and other
large cities He called special at
tention to the fact that the special ses.
sion OF the legislature was convened
by him for the special purpose of
passing some measures to perfect
our tax system; how they had al
most reached point where some
thing was to be done, and how the
then chairman of the republican
state committee appeared upon the
scene and adjourned that legislature,
through his influence upon the lead
ers in the republican house, in q
single day. He called attention to the
fact that that same gentleman is now
the republican candidate for COVER
nor. and gave his audience the priv
ilege Of drawing their own infer
ences OF what reforms would take
place in our revenue and tax sys.
tens ii that gentleman bee ,mes gov
ernor Of Illinois.
Organized Labor.
He then touched upon organized
labor. giviog a short resume of the
cause OF the formation thereof and
the necessities for its existence both
for their prosperity and their enlight-
cement. He scored Mark Ham,
and Henry g Payne for their
opposition to all Organized labor,
showing Mr.. Hanna's refusal at all
times to recognize tn. m, and Mr..
Payne's connection with the North
ern Pacific and made q strong refer
ence to the famous injunction OBJ
tained BY him. He ended his dis
sertation on these two gentlemen by
appealing to his audience to think
upon the subject Of what they might
expect II these two gentlemen be-
came practically president and vice
president of the United States.
The governor then touched upon the
clause In the platform with reference
to government BY injunction. which
