several railroads. Mr.. Depew was late
in arriving, and it was 9 o'clock be-
fore he appeared on the platform. He
was greeted with cheering which could
not be controlled by the chairman for
fully ten minutes The famous speaker
was introduced by Eden c. Dewitt,
of the Marquette club, under whose
auspices the meeting was held. In
opening his address DR.. Depew said:
This is the largest political gather
ing I have ever seen. l wonder if
anybody got away.

CHEERS and laughter)
Mr.. Depew then continued in part as
follows:
Some years ago. when I was work
ing with might and main for the sue
cess of your unequalled Worlds fair.
Chicago adopted me. AS an adopted
son it is a rare pleasure to be pres
ent in your city on Chicago day Chi
cago is an epitome of the United States.
1t is the concentrated expression OF the
life, the energy and the DEVELOPMENT
of the country. Chicago was burned
to the ground in 1871. 1t took two years
to readjust relations to the business
and credit of the country. Then came
the crime of '73, by which silver was
demonetized and the United States
went upon a gold standard. Twenty
presents the most marvellous object les
son in the story of finance in the his
tory of gold as a standard by which
to measure all other kinds Of currency
and all the product of the farm and
factory, of brains and labor"
Mr.. Depew then expressed his graft
fication at having as an escort the
wheelmen, who with the commercial
travellers, he said, are almost unan:-
mously for Mckinley, sound money
and prosperity. On all other questions
the people can divide, but they cannot
differ on questions which will affect the
life of the nation or the honor of the
country.
1.-The three last elections" he said,
were carried by small majorities, but
when the
LUNATICs AND THEORISTS
and eXperimentaliStS got possession of
the Democratic convention at Chicago
and drove out nine tenths of the expe-
rienced brains of the organization, and
when they made their alliance with
the idiot asylum at ST. Louis, the
safety OF the country demanded that
sane men, without regard to previous
party affiliations, should combine and
save the honor and business of the
nation"
Referring to the crime of 10" he
said the criminals were Senator Stew
art, and Senator Jones of Nevada First
Bryan must hang them; he must SIS
pend upon the same gallows every NV
ing member of the congress of '73, bosh
in the senate and in the house, be-
cause they all voted for this bill He
must go to Monticello and take out the
bones of Jefferson from their tonic and
hang them as an exhibition for his
order of characterization in 1906; to the
Hermitage for General Jackson'S skele-
ton; to Marshield for Webster and to
Ashland for Clay, to South Carolina
for Calhoun, to Missouri for Denton
and to Auburn for William A. Stewart
for they. either in a. or 90 or '73
spoke for or advised the
REORGANIZATION OF SILVER.
The criminals are all the presidents
from Jefferson to Garfield; all the cabi-
net officers from Ha milton to John A.
Bates; all the mighty men of debate
from Madison, Webster and Clay to
Lincoln and Blaine. And who are their
judges and eXecutioners? This famous
spike team, which is careering ana ca
vorting about the country; the wild
broncho of Nebraska in the lead: the
staid, slow gated, church-g going, broken
winded Puritan from Maine at the
Wheel and his mate, the untamed colt
from Georgia, trying not TO pull the
wagon, but to kick the stuffing out
of The Puritan.
I'VE have absolute liberty in this
country of political freedom and re-
ligious liberation and we must view
with liberation the followers OF this new
religion, who see salvation in Is to l.
When Columbus discovered America,
Ten ounces of silver were equal 10 one
ounce of gold: when the Pilgrim faith
ers landed on Plymouth Rock, 13
ounces of silver were equal 10 one OF
gold; when our forefathers had driven
the British from the country and Gre
ated d free and independent republic,
they declared that the standard Of
value between silver and gold was 10
ounces of silver to l of gold. When we
ask Mr. Bryan why he repudiated CO.
lurnbus and the Pilgrim fathers and
the founders of the republic, why ne
proclaims that the government must
say that 16 ounces of silver is equal
in value and must be taken by the
people as equal to one ounce Of gold
for the products OF their farms, the
output of their factories and their
labor, when we know that by doing
so he is
ONLY GETTING HALF VALUE
and a fraudulent return to the farmer,
the manufacturer and the wage Garner,
his answer is, Times have changed
since the revolutionary war, and I'm
not George Washington
Mr. Depew laid the hard times and
panic to the threat of legislation for free
trade and assaults upon business con-
fidence by the action of Mr.. Bryan's
party in holding up the government
and refusing supplies, preventing its
having adequate revenue, and tamDer
ing with the currency. The remedies
he proposed were 20 get out OF The
woods and into the roads that lead to
market and to employment. This panic
has thrown $4,000 railroad men off the
pay roll. This in turn has cut Of the
demand for other workers in factories
ard shops To restore the old condi-
tions. of prosperity, Mr.. Depew asserted
the necessity Of restoring confidence
and assuring stability by the election
of Mckinley and Hobart
