Mr. Young was then introduced. He
was greeted with great applause.
Mr.. Young thanked the delouatea
from Brambleton Ward that they had
stood hy him so faithfully in the port
Norfolk Convention. He trusted that
Brambleton Ward would roll up its
usual Democratic majority. He urged
me voters to yield loyal support to

pieS are eternal. Great principles are at

LOT me success of the whole ticket to tho
end that not only Democra ttc Prrsi

secured IN Congress. He urged voters
not TO be led astray by boltinr Demo-
Gratis. They arc practically aiding the
Sennblicans. He had only the klndest
ieeiing toward them. but they were
wrong. They claimed to be the tr,o
Democratic party. but w. ]. Bryan is
the regular Democratic nominee. Mr.
ioung stated that In Congress he would
keen steadily in view the welrnre and

ana all his constituents. Commenting
on the money question he asked WHY II
was IT Mexico Is in such poverty and
IT'S borders like SO close to ours. do its
citizens not emigrate to this gold stand
ara country" Why is President Diaz so
thoroughly convinced that the silver
standard is the proper one for MeXica? +?
Whv do they not adopt gold If II Is such
tod send to 4 country as our opDo-
nents allcCe? Why is II that all our i'm
migration comes from gold standard
countries. such as Germany and Ireland
anu Italy. If those countries are blest
bv the gold standard? Mr.. Young de-
clarcd that the silver dollar In any
event Is II better dollar than the green
bhck that tided the country throught
me late war. and certainly Il better
dollar than n national bonk note. A
ma ationhl bank note is fiat money pure
ana simple. The credit OF the Govern
ment alone sustains 1t, whilst n silver
dollar hns nearly n dollars worth of
bullion i'm it in any event. Mr.. Young
declined to make u lengthy speech. as

Young three cheers, which were given
vigorously.

Ing TO that the Mexican dollar is an hon

1t does not lose anything.
How much Is 1. worth?" was asked
from the audience.
Mr.. Bryan: 1T Is worth just the same
that the bullion in 1t l. worth. Now, if
the Mexican dollar is worth just as much
as the bullion in 1t, and the bullion i'm 1t

hostility OF the Baltimore and Ohio in the
financial markets Of Baltimore, Philadel-

the sale Of the securities upon which the
construction depends must be obtained.
Rich In Names.
The trolley company is known by a va
riety Of names. It has usually been called
the Maryland and Washington Railway
Company. and this is the title by which 1t
was recognized by the latest act Of Con-
gress affecting 1t. This was the act ap-
proved February 20. 1895. extending the

complete and put in operation Its railway

and being amended by an act approved
to be In full operation by March 2. 1885,
The act Of February 20. 1896, extended
that @ time to March 2, 1897, and thus it is

the date for operating the local end Of the

road is mentioned in this act, the Mary
land and Washington, 1t has also been
called the Columbia and Maryland railway,
but its popular title in Baltimore is the
Boulevard line. These various titles all
relate to the same corporation, Of which
David M. Newbold, president of the Eek
ington and Belt railroad companies in this
city. is the head. The close relationship
between the lexington and Belt. the Mary
land and Washington and the construction
companies is shown by the contract be-
tween the construction company and the
intercity trolley company. cited in the ap-
plication for receiver. This applica-
ton was filed by William Marbury Of the
firm Of Marshall, Marbury Z: Bowdoin, at
torneys for the Westinghouse Electric
Company. Mr.. Marbury Is also United

OGensfve Partfsa nshiu.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
have always held, whether in or out of
office, that a government official should
have the right-no more, no less-to do all
things that every other citizen may prop
erly do. Fer this reason, 1 cannot sympa-
thize with the spirit that would urge the
dismissal from the public service Of Depu-
ty Commissioner Bell of the pension bu-
reau. and other officials, simply because
they have the bad taste to champion the
cause Of Bryan and Sewall, and have given
expression to such preference from the
stump. In my opinion, every citizen should
have the right to support the political par
ty that comes nearest TO his views, with
out threat of punishment for such action.
To dismiss Bell and others for taking the
stand they do Is nothing In the world but
intimidation, and L cannot believe that the
powers that be will do SO wrong and SO
unwise an act.
In common with other republicans, I hold
that there are now holding prominent po-
sitions those who have wantonly reduced
and dismissed worthy republican clerks.
That is another matter. however, and no
doubt will be duly attended TO after Presi-
dent Mckinley takes the reins of govern
ment next March. This Mr.. Bell knows

one Case Causes . Discussion With
Civil Service Commission.
Judge Cox several days ago granted nat
uralization papers to Della A. Melay. a
young Irish girl of twenty ye1rs Of age.
Subsequently. she applied to the civil serv-
Ice commission for permission to take an
examination. Yesterday afternoon Miss
.Melay appeSred at the city hall and stated
that the commission had refused to allow
her to take the examination, on the ground,
she stated, that Judge Cox had no author
ity. Ider the law, to admit to citizenship
any one under the age of twenty-one years.
Meantime the commission had inquired
OF Mr.. Young under what authority Of
law Judge Cox had proceeded. Mr.. Young,
In reply. referred the commission to Sec
ton 2165 Of the Revised Statutes. when
the commission suggested that the law re-
quired the applicant for admission to cfti-
zenship to be twenty-one years OF age. Mr.
Young laid the matter before Judge Cox,
VINO explained that he had held that sec
ticn 2l65 does not require a woman to be
twenty-one years of age, and that he had
therefore decided that the young woman
vas entitled to be admitted to citizenship,
ana had SO admitted her.
Mr.. Young so certified the matter to the
commission. and later Miss Melay stated
tEat the commission had accepted Judge
Coxs construction of the law.

Fail for Trial.
Samuel B. Husselman, who was indicted
here the 9Th Of last April for false pre-
terses, reached here last evening in charge
of United States Marshal McCabe of Rhode
Island. Today he was brought before
Judge Cox, who ordered that ne give bail
in the sum of $1,000 to await trial.
The indictment charges that the defend
ant the 5th of last February obtained the
sum of 500 from Alonzo H. Colver by
falsely representing to Mr.. Colver that he
was a stockholder in the North Branch
Coal and Coke Company of West Virginia.
Assistant District Attorney Armes suggest
ed that the bail be fixed at 5000, but Mr..
Moulton, counsel for the accused, contend
ed that upon trial Of the case his client
would be able to show that the district
attorney had been imposed upon by some
one who wished to collect debt
Judge Cox thought the amount charged
in the Indictment did not warrant bail
greater than $1,000 being asked. and fixed
1t at that amount.

the assignee. The Chicago company oh
jected TO Mr.. Thorn's brothers continuance
as assignee. and. therefore, asked for the
appointment of a receiver. In granting the
motion Judge Cox explained that he would
appoint receiver because Of the relation
ship Of the assignor to the assignee, and
because Of that relationship the assignee
might be compelled to do something, as
not care to do.
