GENERALS OF THE CIVIL WAR
Address a Great and Enthusiastic
Gathering at ST. Paul.

ST. PAUL (Minn.), Sept. 2o.-Over
5000 people gathered this evening at
the Auditorium to hear the sound money
address of Generals Of the civil war
who are touring the country together.
General O. o. Howard was the first to
appear, and the old veteran was cheered
with three times three cheers. General
Alger followed with a brief address,
which was warmly cheered.
The interest Of the evening, however
centered about General Sickels. He had
hardly spoken a dozen words when a
crowd of Bryan men in the gallery
tried to howl him down. Looking
straight in the direction of the hubbub
for a moment, General Sickels said in a
very loud voice: "Will every man.
woman and child in this audience who is
in favor of law, decency and sound
money please stand" At this what
seemed to be 90 per cent. Of the crowd
jumped to their feet with a cheer. Then
General Sickels said quietly: Let every
man who is in favor of fiat money and
anarchy rise" There was a dead calm
for minute, during which nobody rose
This was followed by the greatest dem
onstration of the evening, the applause
lasting several minutes.
General Stewart followed with a brief
address, after which Corporal Tanner

CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW
Addresses the Largest Political Meet
ing Ever Held at BROOKLYN.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 25-The largest
political meeting ever held in Brooklyn
was that at the Clermont Rink to-
night, with Hon. Chauncey NJ Depew
as the speaker and Chairman Hanna
of the National Republican Committee
as the chief guest
DepeWS address was a MASTERPIECES
even among the many notable ones he
has delivered At the outset he COM
pared past campaigns with the pres
ent; the honest divisions of patriots on
matters of policy; cited the fiat money
campaign of Seymour and Pendleton,
when as now the best men in the DEM
ocratic party left their organization in
suring the overwhelming rejection of
reputation and the election of Grant
upon a platform sustaining national
honor and faith by majorities unprece-
dented.
Continuing, Mr.. Depew said in part:
Bryan and Sewall and Watson pro-
claim revolution. The right of revolu-
ton is divine, but it must have supreme
justification. Under our Constitution
institutions and laws as they exist
there is before US in the promises Of the
Fopulistic leaders nothing but an in
vitation to embark upon that sea of re-
wrecked every nation that ever en-
harked upon it. There are two places
under our Constitution where the rich
and poorest stand on the same plane.
One is the ballot box and the other the
court. And yet this Democratic and
Populistic alliance propose to destroy
this majestic tribunal, and make it
simply the echo of the party caucus
which controls Congress this year and
may be driven into obscurity next They
propose to take away from the Govern
ment the power to issue bonds. They
either do not care or do not know that
in the credit of the nation is it's de-
faDsive and offensive power.
"Mr. Bryan speaks every day, and
every day it is the same speech, saying
that the people must finally take charge
of their own affairs. 1t is by the people
studying and examining these questions
that day by day his cause is colIapsing
He perSstently ignores, either willfully
or ignorantly, the fact that whether we
have silver or gold or papepr no one
can get that currency except by ex
changing something for it. Interna-
tional commerce is the exchange of pro-
GIctionS of the labor of the different
