THE COCHRAN MEETING.

The Democratic Honest Money
League" had its widely advertised
meeting in Madison Square Garden
last night. w Bourke Cochran, fresh
from his European travels, replied
to the speech made by Mr.. Bryan on
the occasion OF the Democratic cam
didate's official notification OF his
nomination in the same place a week
before.
Mr.. Coekran's effort was but slight
IL argumentative, and almost entirely
OF atorical. His chief aim was to prove
that the workingman is more benefit
ted by an approaching dollar than
any other person. incidentally, Mr..
Cochran attacked the former for his
share in what he called "a Populistie
conspiracy" At times he aroused en-
thuSiasm
In point of attendance the meeting
was not the success expected. There
were vacant seats in the gallery and
many boxes were unoccupied. Before
the conclusion of Mr.. Cockran's speech
at least 1000 persons left the galleries,
The temperature was 35 degrees low
er than when Mr.. Bryan recently
spoke, and the garden was comforta-
BILE throughout the evening.
The army of policemen on duty in
and around the hall had little to do,
the crowds not exceeding those to be
found in the neighborhood of the gar
den on the night OF an Old Guard ball.
One of the significant features of
the meeting was the kissing of Perry
Belmont. He declared that PopulisIn
was tainted Republfcanism," and for
a half minute there was much confn-
sion, owing to the mingling of misses
and applause.
Conspicuous among those present
were the many men of wealth who
acted as vice-presidents, and Thomas
C. Plat, Warner Miller, Mayor Strong,
n. p. Scott, national committeeman
from West Virginia, and Powell Clay
ton, OF Arkansas, who has charge of
the eastern Mckinley headquarters.

A SPECIMEN CASE.

The gold bugs dearly like to dig
up an old Democrat that voted for
jackson or Jefferson and get him to
say that he is a gold standard man
and that he viii vote for Mckinley. A
Democrat of Genesee county, New
York, met am old Republican friend
recently and this is what happened:
AS soon as he saw me he grasped
nv hand and said: Il suppose you
are with the Democracy yet?' / as
sured him l was, and he continued:
I've got confession to make to you.
I'm eighty-two years old, and never
yot, ! Democratic ticket in my life.
You Democrats always used to say j
was one of the meanest Republicans in
the neighborhood. But | want to tell
you that Shall vote for Bryan and free
silver this fall, and unless the issues
change, | shall never vote another
Republican ticket as long as | live.
What | want to confess to you is this:
and it's pretty hard for man of my
age to admit it; I've come to the con-
clusion that I've been an old fool for
voting the Republican ticket since
1873, when silver was demonetized. |
don't care whether I'm called a. Demo-
crat, Populist, or an anarchist. I'm
for free silver and believe it is the
only hope that is left to relieve the
desperate condition of the farmers. -

A VOICE FROM MARYLAND.
Bryan and SewaII Will Garry the
State.

Major j. T. NJ. Barnes, treasurer OF
the Western Maryland railroad, who
has been visiting Col. Green at 1okay,
left for his home in Baltimore Thurs
day. This gentleman, who holds q
high position of trust with one of the
richest railroads running out of Bal
timore, was very free in expressing his
ooinion on the political situation
in Maryland while in converse ion
with several of our citizens. Frankly
admitting that he is believer in the
gold standard, he says: Bryan will
carry Maryland by a good majority.
Labor is at discount as well as farm
products. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road has discharged 5000 employees
within two months; this company
heretofore extending it's line in all
directions has not had q spade full of
earth turned over, nor a nail driven
except for necessary repairs, in many
months. The people see the rich get
Jung richer, and the poor poorer, and
they want change. They want to
try free silver, and / for one say, let
chem try 1t. While / am what peo-
pie are pleased to term a goldbug, yet
it is possible free silver may prove the
cure for the existang ills, a rather
dangerous experiment, yet the people
are determined to try it,"

WHY?

Why is it that the groansome loads OF
Fate
Are thrust, not OH the shoulders,
broad and strong
OF beings swart and big, who daily
throng
The ways Of life, but on the Souls that
late
Fave staggered, spent and tired, from
burdens great,
And now deserve the laurel which
their long
And patient suff'ring earned? 1t
seems all wrong!
Why cannot Fate attack its size and
mate?
Great God.-perhaps it does; perhaps
the weak,
Refined and pure, are ablest, after
all,
To bear the thorns and briers that
abound
In heavens path; and when they
aching, meek
Complete the task, some obstacle
must fall,
And souls of Men advance another
round.
