HON. BOURKE COCHRAN.
Given an Ovation by Sound Money
Advocates at Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN, Oct 3O-Under the au-
spices of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton of Kings and Queens Counties the
Hon. Bourke Cochran in the Academy
OF Music tonight spoke on Good Gov
ernment and Sound Money" and was
given an ovation. The building was
packed to its utmost capacity.
After discussing the financial Ques-
tion at length, Mr.. Cochran said: 1--WE
will face this dog of PopuliSm as we
have faced the danger of secession. We
Will no more surrender our own honest
system of money than we are willing to
allow the slave power to dominate the
United States. The men who are to-day
massed behind this Populistic pro-
gramme are the men who attacked
every form of society. They attack
everything on which civil society de-
pends. The Supreme Court which in
terprets the law, the Executive that en-
forces it, are both equally the objects of
its animadversion.
Nothing which the American people
have given to the world, fruit Of re-
publican institutions, is comparable to
that system which the power of all men
to attack the rights of the citizen, is
barred by the Supreme Court, when it
transcendS the points which the COnsti-
tuition declares to be the limit Of gov
ernmental power. Alone among ma
tions of the earth we have given to civil
l1Zation this system which has proved
itself a bulwark and the defense of
democratic institutions. The Populist
raves against it, raises his hand to de-
stroy it, criticiseS it everywhere, and
seeks to provoke against it the animosi-
ties of the vast majority of the people
In 1861 this Government was sub
Jected to strain from which few people
thought it would recover yet that was
not worse than this / want to see the
answer to the questions of the hour
made SO emphatic that it will be long
before American patriotism again re-
ceiveS an audacious challenge"

WARREN B. ENGLISH.
The Candidate for Congress Slowly
Recovering His Eyesight.

OAKLAND, Oct 30-Warren B.
English, the fusion candidate for Con-
gress in the Third District, who was
stricken suddenly with total blindness
last Wednesday evening few minutes
before he was TO address a political
gathering at Livermore, is so far re-
covered as to be able to go about the
streets without an escort although he
wears a pair of dark eye shades and
can stand but little light.
1t was feared that Mr. English would
be permanently affected, and when he
made his first appearance on the street
after losing his eyesight he was ac-
companied by his wife and daughter,
and his eyes We're heavily bandaged.
Mr.. English says his stroke of blindness
was brought on by a severe cold that
was neglected, but he now believes that
he will be able to make good use Of the
remaining few days before election day.
