PALMER AND BUCKNER.
They Speak al Dctroit-AppIause for
Bryan.

DETROIT, MICH. October 12-Gene-
rails Palmer and Buckner. the candidates
Of the boltlng Democracy for President
and vice-President. respectively, deliv-
cred addresses before an audience Of 800
persons at the Auditorium here this
afternoon. Both speakers were warmly
welcomed. General Buckner being re-
ceiyed with tho greatest enthusiasm
Many prominent local Democrats who
believe in the gold standard occupied
seats on the stage. and Postmaster John
j. Enright acted as chairman. Each can
didate spoke for about an hosr, and was
frequently interrupted by applause.
General Palmer was the first speaker.
He said the convention at Chicago,
(which called itself Democratic" had no
other claim than that 1t claimed to be
Democratic. Ii had been controlled by
influences entirely strange to the Demo-
cratic party, he said, and he charged
that there had been a distinct under
standing among the leaders OF the Chi
cago convention that the Populist and
free-silver parties would nominate Mr..
Bryan.
The mention Of Mr. Bryan's name
brought forth applause and cheers from
the free-siIver contingent In the audi
ence
General Palmer then went into dis
cussion Of the money question. He de-
clared that the whole theory upon which
free coinage rests Is an experiment. lie
said that there was no want of money in
this country, and that at the present time
money was cheaper than he had ever
known before 1t TO be. Businessmen
were not buying Il. however, because
. Al
ers cannot afford to take a risk under
existing political conditions.
In closing he declared that the Chicago
convention had no RIGHT 10 declare that
TO be Democratic which is not Dem
ocratc and said that he would prefer a
sensible monarch to the rule OF the fol-
lowers OF the Chicago platform.
When Buckner was introduced many
of the audience rose 10 their feet and
cheered. He discussed the principles OF
the different parties. and declared that
the principles Of Jefferson are the prin-
ciples the bolting Democracy IS advo-
eating to-day. and that these principles
cannot be changed without the fall of
this government.
He attacked the Federal interference
and government-by-inj Injunction planks OF
the Chicago platform. and applauded the
courts for enjoIninQ Debs and his fol-
lowers, and President Cleveland for
sending troops into Chicago. He then
went into discussion OF the money ques-
ton. following closely on the line OF ar
g1ment used by General Palmer.
The nominees left for Cincinnati late
tonight from which place they will
start on trip through the South-Mobile
and New Orleans being amor the cities
IN which they will deliver addresses.
