b. tribute 20 Mr.. Burleigh that brought
prolonged cheering ..Yoa call him here
a son OF Seattle; n whafcon we cal him
sen OF Washington" The speaker had
bulky looksnz manuscript n MS hand
Out aid il aside. as he declared MS tann-
der had been stolen by the preceding
SPEAKER. Preceding a strong argument on
the financial question, he called in qnes-
ton the sincerity OF George Turner, n no
had addressed the free silver meeting last
Wednesday night. Since Mr.. Turner has
been IN this STATE" he said, he has been
ole Of the most powerful advocates that
the Republican party has had. AMI IN his
declarations from he stump in favor of
the tariff has always been believed sin
cere. Yet IN his speech last Wednesday
night you viii remember the anecdote he
related OF Whiteiaw Reid. who had said
The tariff be damned and AR. Turner
said that expression had always echoed
IL his hear The utterances of such q
man on any subject should not be re-
ceived with eredence."
He then took up the silver question. His
first step was 10 show that the standard
OF value OF money Is regulated BY the
standard OF the world. In demonstration
OF this he stated that in France there is
In circulation four times as much money
as in Switzerland. and 100 times as much
as IN Greece. s"Would any one suppose"
the speaker asked. that the same piece
Of Freach money would be worth 100
times as much in Greece and four times
as much in Switzerland as in France?''
He said that England. Scotland, Germany
and al other countries OF the world would
gain from free coinage In this country be
cause the value OF money decreases ac-
coTding as It's circulation Is increased"
This proposition ne considered so plain
that no elaboration was necessary. The
International phase OF the question was
dealt with ably by Mr.. FairchIid and %
talked from that standpoint because, as
he said, IL was the only ground on which
he could ind a spot untouched by Mr.
Burieigh. He thought the Democratic
plank condemning the action OF President
Cleveland In aiding the state OF Illinois
when IL was torn by rebellion" was
anarchistic. Thank God" he exclaimed,
I'VE haven't got an Altgeld in the guber-
Material chair in this state. (Applause.)
We may not always be so Fortunate
An Ovation for Doolittle.
An interlude was pleasantly filed by
baritone solo executed by Sgnor de Ca
prie, OF the First Regiment band. and the
chairman then introduced Hon. W. II.
Doolttle. The opening name was all that
was heard. for a cheer that shook the
vast hall drowned the closing sentences.
IN the midst OF the applause the congress
man came forward.
