ORANGE COUNTY
A Republican Meeting Which Made No
Conversational Notes

SANTA ANA, Sept. 1s.-The drum
corps in front of the French block at
7:30 p. m. announced the hour for as
sembling, to hear the Hon. Will A. Har-
ris of Los Angeles discuss the financial
question. .-'
At o'clock Mr. G. H. Carlyle Of West
minister. introduced the speaker to a
large audience. Mr.. Harris spoke in
part as follows:
I have malice toward none. Public
opinion is not always intelligent as wit
ness Socrates and Christ. Perpetuity
gent action. Conclusions are reached
through argument. Witness, history.
The Democratic nominations at Chica-
go were regular. but made Sewall an
object of sympathy. j Said convention
was an assemblage Of Populists, con-
vened at the call of a Democratic ma
tional committee. Populists seek Office
and with Republicans in the south. DEM
ocrats demand coin, Populists irredeem-
able paper money, etc.
am, with Hill, a Democrat but not
a revolutionist. The new Democracy
condemns the government for surren-
dering option to the creditor. The bond
holders get but thirty millions of appro-
priations. old soldiers four times as
much. While cursing bondholders, why
not curse veterans?
Depression is due to wild speculation,
improved machinery, increased produc-
tion. ETC., wheat fields opened in Asia,
South America and other sections COM
pete with those Of the United States.
Civilized nations use gold, semi-civil-
ized, silver
Jefferson based ratio on market value
OF gold and silver History shows that
the two metals never circulated side by
side under free coinage.
Mr.. Harris was often applauded. He
raised the greatest stir when he spoke
Of the Chicago convention condemning
the administration of Cleveland. He
closed with denuneiation of the Chi
cago platform, as dishonest and revolu-
tionary, and called on all true Demo-
Gratis to vote for Mckinley and defeat
Bryan.
The two greatest queries going the
rounds today are: "Why did Mr.. Car
lyle. chairman Of the Westminster Bry-
an silver club. introduce Mr.. Harris to
Republican audience" and, Did Mr..
Harris speech pay back the SIS which
he stated as his charge for making the
same?"

He carries with him the best wishes
and recommendations Of all who know
