ate Head-Resolutions Adopted.

HIGHLAND. Oct. 1s.-Dr H. W. Head
fusion candidate for senator In the Thir-
ty-ninth district; was the guest of the
Highland Bryan Silver club on Friday
evening and addressed very enthusiast
tic audience at Foster hail. He was in
troduced in brief speech by Mr.. Doffel-
meyer, president of the club, and held
the close attention of his hearers for
over an hour in which he discussed the
issues of the campaign in plain, COM
mon sense way that carried conviction
to the farmers and workingmen who
made up the majority of his audience.
DR.. Head is himself a farmer, and thor
oughly understands the temper and the
wants of that class of citizens.
His telling points were greeted with
the most hearty pplause, and many
votes were made for our next senator.
w. e. Sherman of New York city, a
lifelong Republican, made a short but
effective address in defense of free COIN
age Of silver, and claimed that he was
still good Lincoln Republican, but
had been left by the modern gang of
goldbugs.
William Penn Rogers, at the conclu-
sion of short speech eulogiZing DR..
Head, introduced the following resolu-
tion, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the free silver men of
Highland, comprising Populists, Silver
Democrats. Silver Republicans and Sill
yer Prohibitionists. in mass meeting
assembled at Foster hall, heartily in
dorse Hon. Dr. H. w. Head of Orange
county, fusion candidate for state sena-
tor in the Thirty-ninth district, as a
man eminently qualified for that import
ant Office.

went to sleep again and when be woke
up in the morning found both his friend
and money missing.
When he went to bed he had $50 In bills
in his pockets. but was broke in the
morning. A report Of the Occurrences

McDermott's livery stable that he was

night he was seen with roll Of bills In
his possession and was spending money

cents on his person.
Johnson has been in trouble with the
police before, having been arrested by
Detective Goodman year or more ago
on suspicion Of being implicated in the
blowing open of several safes in the
surrounding towns. At the time he sue
ceeded In clearing himself, but now ap-

forth applause deafening and last
ing for several minutes, and onlv
equaled when later on in describing the
celebrated case of the Merchant of
Venice, he likened w. ]. Bryan to the
fair Portia "who would so construe the
bond as not to take drop of blood from
labor's heart
His appeal to those who wore the blue
to stand by their country now when 1t
was imperiled by the grasping greed of
the Shylocks, as they did when the ma
| tion's life was imperriled in the sixties,
was Of the highest order Of patriotic
oratory seldom heard here and never ex-
celled anywhere.
He completely annihilated Ben But
terworths speech by his famous letter to
Teller, claiming that the letter was from
the heart, while the address was the plea
of the paid attorney.
He then took up the various specious
pleas of the goldbugs riddled them to
pieces with matchless scarcasm and
! logic and eloquence, and predicted the
election of Bryan. He urged upon all the
necessity of voting for a congressman
| and assemblyman who would aid in
| sending a silver United States senator
| to hold up the hands of the indomnitable
| fighter and champion from Nebraska.
AT the close of the address the speaker
| was given three hearty cheers and the
nouncement of another meeting to be
held on Wednesday, when Congressman
G. A. Barlow and the eloquent Jud r.
Rush would be the speakers.
| The suffragists held an enthusiastic
| meeting at the South Side Mission Fri
day night, when John Lodge, Rev. Baw-
der. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Priddy made
| stirring addresses. Mrs. Miles read a

interests and comfort. He learned Re-
publicanism under Lincoln and Logan,
but when his party forgot the teach
ings Of those men, he left it. The poor
are always on the side of liberty. They
fought and are yet expected to fight its
battles.
He ridiculed McKinley's war record,
saying he was a major in the commits
sary department. He declared the peo-
pie were not represented at the st. Louis
convention. Hanna fixed the program,
but Bryan was the result of no combina-
tion or prearrangement, and only with
supernatural aid could he do the work he
has done and will yet do.
He showed that Carnegie, Pullman
and others made tariff bill, and Nc
Kinley was simply godfather to 1t. ANY
man who says the tariff Is the issue now
is liar" said he, with emphasis.
He showed how under tariff the people
pay $130, 900, 900 more for woolen cloth
ing, while the wool growers get only
SS,000,000.
Nothing but a pestilence killing the
present senate can ever give even
chance for tariff legislation"
He then showed how the country would
prosper under silver and how Carlisle
was forced to sell bonds at $104, when
they were worth $112.50 in France. He
defended Mexico. 'It is the only nation
on earth with enough money IN Its treas
ury to pay every cent 1t owes.
Trusts control, and we pay them We
are now paying for Rockefeller's Baptist
college, and trusts are contrary to law
Persons who say that times were pros
porous under Harrison and Mckinley
ism are monumental liars" He spoke
of Englands manipulation Of cheap sill
yer to buy Asiatic wheat, and quoted
Gladstone and Bismarck on silver. He
also read from the London Financial
News, showing how free silver will cost
England $500,00 900 in commerce alone
