GREAT SILVER RALLY IN BOSTON.
Old Faneuil Hall is too Small to Hold All
the Enthusiasm for Bryan.


Boston, Mass, July 14.-The nomi-
nation of Bryan and Sewall was ratified
tonight in and about old Faneuil hall,
the "cradle of liberty" The crowd
surpassed in size and enthusiasm any
political gathering of recent years and
brought to mind the famous Butler
campaigns of early sos. The meeting
was held not only to commend the
ticket nominated at Chicago, but also
to extend welcome home to George
Fred Williams and set the seal of
popular approval on his course in sup
port of free silver in the national CON
vention. In every respect the demon
stration was a complete success. The
street parade was q small affair at first,
but as the carriage bearing Mr.. Will
liams passed down Washington street,
escorted by 200 ''faithfuls, others fell
into line, swelling the numbers into
thousands Red fire was burned every
where along the route, and such. cheer
ing never was before heard in the city.
The hall was crowded to overfowing
before 8 o'clock, and so great was the
crush outside that an open meeting
had to be held in Faneuil Hall square.
1t is estimated that 5000 people gained
admittance to the hall and its galleries,
and fully 5000 people applauded the
speakers in the street below. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
big meeting was called to order by ex-
President H. J. Jacquith of the Han
cock national bank, who this week
espoused the cause of free silver, and
Lawyer Timothy w. Coakley of the
Young Democracy presided. Ex-Con-

LINCOLN ON SILVER.
Predicted the Disastrous Reign of the Money
HOWCr.

Predicted the Disastrous Reign of the Money
TOwcr.
Shortly before Lincoln was assassi
mated he said the following:
eve can congratulate ourselves that
this cruel war is nearing its close; it
has cost a vast amount Of treasure and
blood. The best blood of the flower of
American youth has been freely offered
upon our country's altar that the ma
ton might live. 1t has been indeed q
trying hour to the republic. But I see
in the near future q crisis approaching
that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of our country.
AS a result of the war, corporations
have been enthroned, and an era of
corruption in high places will follow
and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working on the prejudices of the peo-
pie until all wealth is aggregated into
few hands and the republic is de-
sroyed. [ feel at this moment more
anxiety for the safety of my country
than ever before, even in the midst
of war. "
No prophet ever made truer proph-
! ecy. That time that Lincoln prophe-
sled is at hand, will become true if the
republican party will elect their presi-
dent. Mckinley, who is like potter's
clay in the hands of the money power,
the willing tool to do their bidding.
Step by step the corruption has gone
on for years. Who does not remember
the credit mobilier scandals and the
bribing of congressman at wholesale
from the at that time vice-president,
Schuyler Colfax, down to the negro
representatives. Then, at the bidding
of the money power, silver had to be
demonetized in 1878, crime against
the common people of the United
States. Blaine predicted the disasters
that would reach the producing classes,
and even Sherman and the at present
gold bug apostle, Carlisle, admitted
that it would produce hardships on all
classes except the holders of super
fuous wealth.
Abraham Lincoln, ON the 18th of
April, 1866, the day he was assassinated,
sent special message to the miners of
the west, in which he said: Nov that
the rebellion is overthrown and we
know nearly the amount of our nation
al debt, the more gold and silver we
mine, will make the payment of that
| debt so much easier. Tell the miners
for me that | shall promote their in
terest to the utmost of my ability, be-
cause their prosperity is the prosperity
of the nation.
Does this not show plainly that he
was in favor of the use of silver in the
coinage of our daddy dollars to help
pay the war and any other debts
England has twice undertaken to
subiugate us with the sword, but made
q failure, she has. now undertaken it
through financial system. Shall she
succeed in her undertaking, is a ques-
| +ion fo ba oncuarod ot +ba ballot how
next November. I can't see how any

MORE INTELLIGENT COURSE.


The latter went to Chicago, however,
persuaded of the ignorance and folly
of the silver men, and, without waiting
to survey the field or aequaint them
selves with the temper of the delegates,
they marched around the Auditorium
Thcater and delivered series of
speeches to each other, denouncing the
silver men as benighted fanatics, as
conspirators plotting against the honor
and welfare of their native land, as
men unworthy of respect or confidence.
Anything more silly, more stupid or
more offensive [ have never heard of in
my life. To hear such men as Fellows
of New York, and Eckles of Illinois,
anathematizing men like Walthall,
Vest, Daniel, Cockrell, Harris, Nc
Emery and White was too absured for
belief, No wonder the followers of the
latter became indignant and took the
first opportunity of rebuking the colos-
sal impertinence. In fact, the eastern
men behaved like fools, and they got
nothing but defeat and humiliation for
their pains. The result was that Whit
ney and his crowd simply
