The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-10-30
GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
Senator German and Messrs. Doug
lass and Llpscomb Make Telling
Speeches.

Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, the cry pass
ed on as hundreds of earnest advocates
OF the peoples cause cOngregated last
night to escort the speakers of the
evening to the City Opera House.
The sidewalks were crowded with men,
women and children as the different
clubs marched like soldiers at the head
of committee of prominent citizens,
who conducted Hons. A. P. German,
Messrs. Douglass and Lipscomb to the
Hall. Thursday night was indeed a
red letter night for Democracy in old
Frederick. Hundreds from the coun-
try had come to join their friends in
the city in doing honor to our distin-
guished guests. The hall was crowd
ed, damned and packed, and then it
was such joyous sight to look upon
the faces of the lovely women who oc-
cupied the galleries. What contrast
to the crowd seen in the galleries at the
Republican meeting? No won0er that
many of the young women of Fred
erick politely ask to be excused when
invited to attend Republican meeting.
The stage was crowded with a num-
Der of vice-presidents, comprising
many of the best known young men of
the city as well as many of the more
aged of our fellOw-citizens. The Dem
Ocratic Central Committee had been in
session during the morning and many
of the members waited over to attend
the big meeting. Senator German,
who is known personally to many of
our citizens, received a most cordial
to him to hear so many kind words
and good wishes. AS we go to press
the people are still on their way to the
meeting, and we more than regret that
we are unable to give an account of
the able speeches made last evening.
All were delighted with the meeting.
Chairman Hargett called the vast au-
dience to order and announced that
Mr..Cassell had been selected to preside.
Mr.. Roger McSherry read the list of
presidents which, appears below.
On taking the chair Mr.. Cassell made
a few well-timed remarks and then in
PRODUCED Senator German. Cheer af-
ter cheer for German and Bryan with
a will and seldom has the Senator re-
ceived a heartier welcome at the hands
of his Maryland friends. Mr.. John HI.
Grove acted as chief marshal. Mr..
German was met at the depot by
large crowd.
