ming to end. While there was no ram
pant enthusiasm, applause came Iiber-
ally from the ladies and gentlemen
alike. Both the first and second floors
were filed with people, number

crate attempt at decoration had been
made a life-giZed picture of William
J. Bryan surmounted the American
flag.
Henry w Civilian introduced Hon.
David Evans as chairman.
Mr. Evans expressed his pleasure and
pride at being called TO preside at such
a meeting. He said strange things were
! happening and this occasion was q TT
ting one for coming to a better under
standing of the meaning of some events
He referred TO the ST. Louis con-
Yention and described the tremendous
reception given to Senator Cannon on
the occasion of his return from it; how
honors We're heaped upon him; how
men Of all parties united in honoring
him; how Mr.. Cannon stood by the
principle in the campaign; and helped
fight the battle of 1896.
Shall we abandon the principles in
this campaign in the very home of that
senator? Shall we permit the col
| leagues of Senators Rawlins and Can
non and Congressman King TO jeer
them when they return to Washington
and taunt them by saying that their
constituents have given up the fight
for SilVer2
But there are other strange things
happening here at home. A so-called
pioneer silver paper of Utah announced
that it could not support certain men
because they were gold monometallists
Ia paper whose editor was about to go
to Ohio to annihilate Mark Hanna,
suppose Mark heard of it and decided
to arrange matters. They say he is
good at arranging things. Naughter.}
He must have arranged it, for now we
find that editor supporting Mckinley
ties and the Republicans in every posi-
BILE manner What has wrought the
change?
~ want to say to you that the voice
Of Democracy today is like the voice
of John the Baptist crying in the vii
derness- The ticket nominated IS Wor-
thy the support of every Democrat in
the city CCheers3 The idea has zone lil
forth that the Democrats are not in
| favor of reducing taxation and may be
increasing 1t, What a transparent
fa!sehood this is. Why. the very spirit
and essence of Democracy is to tighten
the burdens of the people
ON the goth of the month Che Stand
ara demanded that the candidates sfgn
q pledge drawn by its editor. On the
2lSt eleven OF these Republican candi-
dates signed that pledge TO reduce tax
alton Why, don't you know that five
OF these men had been in the CITY couu-
ell Tor two years past and never thought
Of thus reducing taxation (Applause)
After making several telling points.
MT Evans introduced the famors. GIee
club, FeTrin, Anderson. Ed Tout and
Fred Tout. They made Il great hit
| with two selections, especially one
bringing in the name of John a. Boyle.

the government of the city. But these
things are too serious to rush into

things, come what may"
Referring 70 his early work in the
council TO save the waterworks and his
oft-repeated expression. I favor recoV-
ering them" Mr. Boyle said he consid-
cred il the cruelest injustice for any
individual to charge that his advocacy
Of municipal ownership was death-bed
