The herald., 1896-10-24


plause that shook the wigwam. The
general is South Carolinian of revo-
lutionary stock, but he has resided In
California since 1884. This is his first
visit to Los Angeles since 1888. His erect,
military bearing, silvered hair and dig
nified carriage, coupled with a voice
that could be heard throughout the
wigwam, were sufficient to capture his
audience from the start.
The general, 1t is to be hoped, will
soon be heard again at the Bryan club
meetings, when full report of his ad-
dress will be given.
1t was II o'clock when the immense
meeting adjourned.
The club meets again next Friday
night
There was burlesque yellow fever"
sound money" parade just previous to
the night meeting which while passing
along Third and Second streets loudly
cheered The Terald and the Silver Re-
publican club. Among the notices on
the banners were: you take the sound !;
we want the money" Mark Hanna
Nit! We do not travel with little
swords I'VE are not Tories" And
more of the same character.
THE AFTERNOON MEETING.
The Bryan Central Silver club almost
filled the wigwam twice yesterday, and
it's afternoon meeting proved the best
this organization has had so far, and it
has had many interesting and enthusi-
astic rallies.
The singing of patriotic songs by the
school children was hit in the right di-
rection and reflected much credit upon
Mrs. Henry l.. Ryan. They went to the
wigwam after school hours and march
ed down the main aisle from the Hill
street side waving flags, passing under
two large flags as they assembled to the
platform. Then they sang America, the
Star Spangled Banner and the Red,
White and Blue, and the way the audi
ence Joined in with them in the singing,
with uncovered heads, and finally gave
three rousing cheers for Old Glory, 1t
was emphatically manifest that Mark
Hanna does not have any monopoly on
patriotism.
The speakers at the afternoon meeting
were Hon Joseph D. Lynch, General
Johnstone Jones, Charles A. Barlow and
Judge J. N. Phillips, and besides these
H. H. Savage read a very Hannacratio

Pueblo, Colo, patriot which Mr.. Saw

columns of the Rocky Mountain News

E. Doheny at the piano and Miss Matilee
Loeb, cornet, and the Salyer children
sang one of their intensely taking songs
The point brought out by Mr.. Lynch
in his speech was that the west ha6
been always drained of everything nee
essary to sustain life for the benefit Of
the east, wheat, ETC., and that California
alone had even sent over billion dollars
of her gold and yet, now that the people
of the west ask that silver be coined
alongside of gold the people of the cas-
have their faces set against it like ada.
mant.
Gen. Jones urged his hearers, In hi:
stirring manner, to stand by right ant
justice in this great fight against the
money power and to save the American
flag from being trailed in the dust by
its hypocritical enemies, and thereby
show that it is the people who are the
true patriots, and not the few advocates
of scarce money who claim all the pa.
triotism today.
Mr. Barlow dwelt more particularly
upon the tactics of coercion being prac.
ticed by the other side. He cited an in:
stance in which an employer compelled
a man to wear Mckinley button
whether or no, but when the hours of toi
closed and night came on the unwilling
wearer of the button lost no time II
taking it off. This was a sample O.
many like cases, he said, and he believed
that whatever the button men were com
PEELED to show to the world, they haf
| honest hearts beneath and would vot,
right on election day.
The speech of Judge Phillips was
happy finale to the afternoon meeting
