The Anarchists Were There.

At least $50 Anarchists went to
Cooper Union Saturday night to
honor by their presence their
friend, Gov. Altgeld, says the New
York Sun. Leo Flugel, one oil
the Anarchists, was proud of it and
is authority for the statement.
"Why," said he, "there are more
Anarchists here tonight than were
ever gathered together in this city
before, except to hear a
speaker, who was an avowed An
archist, No other man in this
country could have brought so
many of us together. All social
lists believe that Altgeld is the
greatest statesman this country
has ever seen, and while
We would not declare in favor OF
Bryan any more than we would de-
clare for any other candidate, yet
we believe the cause of Anarchy
would be advanced by Bryan's elec-
ton, because Altgeld is behind
Bryan" An Anarchist was 'stage
manager of the meeting" and EN-
ma Goldman their "Joan of Arc
was here. Flugel said he did not
know whether Herr Most was pres
ent but supposed he was, aad
added: "Altgeld is one of Mr..
Most's warmest friends, you know.

On Thursday last the non-parti-
san sound money clubs of Earling-
ton chartered a train to convey
voters to the meeting at Hopkins
vile TO be addressed by Senator
Lindsay and Col. Fellows, and
issued cards of invitation to their
free silver friends who were will
ing to go and listen to the speak
ers. Hundreds of Republicans
and sound money Democrats, who
would have been pleased to go,
denied themselves the privilege in
order to enable their neighbors to
hear true Democratic doctrine.
That it was wise to aid them to
take advantage of this opportunity
is manifest from the result of the
polls taken on the train going to
and returning from HopkinsvIlle.
The silver men took a ballot
going down and gave out that
there were 333 silverites and AZ
gold bugs.
Coming back the train was
polled by two persons and found
to contain 2o2 for sound money,
I23 for free coinage and so doubt
ful. This showed that the facts,
and irresistible logic of the dis
tnguished speakers had converted
100 Bryan men from the error of
their ways and set so more to
thinking of doing the same thing.
All that is needed is to give them
a chance to be convinced. No
wonder the leaders are afraid to
have the rank and file attend sound
money meetings. In many places
where such is the case they en-
ploy hoodlums to howl down the
speakers. In some sections they
have employed parties to canvass
the neighborhood to persuade peo-
pie to keep away from meetings
where sound money orators were
advertised. The resort to such

Some Teachings.

The dishonesty OF free silver
leaders is manifest daily, in the
evidence OF their teachings upon
those who blindly follow without
an effort, apparently, to think for
themselves.
We had talk the other day with
a man from Silent Run IN this
county. He thought he was a free
silver man because, he said, the
free silver men had been telling
him that il Mckinley was elected,
our present monetary system would
be changed, and our dollar would
then be worth only so cents. He
had been led to believe that we
now have free coinage of silver, and
knowing that our money now is all
good, he was opposed to any
change, and hence was opposed to
Mckinley. We explained the true
position of Republicans and Ma
tional Democrats on the money
question, and got his promise that
he would hear sound money speak
ers. This man SAID he was satis-
fed with the money as we have
it, and was opposed to any change
or experiment.
Another man living near Earl
ington with whom we talked had
been led to believe that the bullion
value of the silver in standard
dollar was now more than 100
cents. OF course it was easy to
show him he was wrong, and he
then declared that he wanted no
tampeung with the present d ollar.
Both these men had been filled
with the miserable, un-American,
hateful prejudice, that what is food
for a man with $40, 600 is poison
for man with but 81, 900 or SIoo.
Another incident as to "teach-
ings" is the confession to the writer
by a free silver leader that from the
first he had not believed for a mo-
ment that there was anything in
the 81. Francis Forsythe" letter,
And this confession was made after
he had done what he could openly
to circulate and give credit to the
thing-and after its explosion by

BRYAN insists that the gold
standard makes a dollar, whether
of gold, silver or paper, too good ;
it buys too much. In the same
speech he declares his belief that
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the legal ratio, established
as the commercial ratio in 1884,
when silver was worth twice what
it is now, would make the bullion
in the silver dollar equal to the
gold dollar. If his judgment were
equivalent to his imagination what
good would be accomplished, since
all the money would be as good
as it now is and purchase too much
according to his idea.

The interview is as follows
"The Republican Executive

dence that the State is safe for
Mckinley and Hobart. Our poll
of the State, the declarations of
voters as they registered in the
cities and towns, the conceded
strength of the sound money Dem
ocratic movement and the drift
of our correspondence with the
party organization encourage the
belief that we shall win splendid
victory for Mckinley, sound money
and protection. The much adver.
tised free silver Republican defec-
ton is a myth. Two per cent OF
last years Republican vote, or less
than 3, 500, is an extravagant fig
ure, and many of our best informed
men say it will not reach one per
cent. The sound money Demo
cratic element certainly includes
20 pei cent of the old time Demo

but as some of these rejected Har-

there will be detection of IS per

and are able to calculate the effect
his success would have upon their
