red hot silyerites.
The meeting was presided over by r.
H. Mulligan President OF the club. He
introduced as the first speaker of the
evening John c. Sweeney, young law
yer, who is stumping the county for
Bryan and silver. Mr.. Sweeney said about
all he could that was detrimental to the
advocates of the gold standard and up
held the cause of free silver In beautiful
silver tongue language.
Counsellor James Murphy was the next
to condemn the goldbugs. He also is a
slver-tongued orator, but when he is
through with his oratory no one is any
wiser than they were before they heard
him.
The other speakers Of the evening were
Assembly Candidate Adolph Walter, Jr.,
Freeholder Candidate Charles C. Schmidt
and Deputy Surrogate Lillis. William Hell
Ter. candidate for the Sfrievalty, was
billed to speak, but for some reason or
other he did not put in an appearance.

Elliot Danforth. Of the Democratic State
Committee, received letter this morn

regular Democratic candidate for Cover

He announced that he would not give out
the letter at present. 1t was learned,
however, that Candidate Porter in his

Judge Porter accepted the nomination

such men are not Democrats. It is all
right for men of the same party to en-
tertain different ideas, but it is not fair
because of honest differences to cut and
slash the whole ticket because there is
opposition to portion of it.
I imagine that after this election the
lines in the party will be more closely
drawn. If the party is to live, it must
be united. If it is to be united, the
chronic, disturbing element must be
rooted out. When a man is honest in his
