 Tho meeting of the bimetallic club of Jefferson county last night in Seals hall was an enthusiastic one The speakers drew the parallel of Andrew Jackson's matchless leadership against the classes, and they jumped in the minds eye to the present day and spoke of the present fight of the people against the money power and monopoles, there were cheers loud and long, The meeting was first to observe the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans and primarily to start . 9 thunder rolling for the campaign of 9S
 Two of the principal speakers of the oc- casion were prevented from being present Governor Johnston did not arrive from Montgomery and Col. W. H. Denson was prevented from appearing by illness.
 Dr. Gillespie the First Speaker
 President John c. Pugh, of the Bimetal- lie club called the assembly to order. He explained the meaning of the meeting as being in observance of the memory of Andrew Jackson, famed in military and state and the hero of the battle of New Orleans. MT. Pugh then introduced Dr. Gillespie chairman of the democratic coun- ty executive committee.
 Dr. Gillespie said that he learned by an afternoon paper that he was to outline the policy of the democrats during the ensuing campaign. He sald that he was in no po- sition to dictate, but only wanted to see good candidates and united front.
 Dr. Gillespie then paid a deserved trib- ute to Jackson, saying after eight years of service he retired from the presidency, leaving the country in better condition than it had ever been before. He abolished the national debt and restored the trade rela- tions with the West Indies. The doctor said that the departed hero won two vic- tories-one in war and one in peace-which would always keep his name green in mem- ory. The one in war was the battle of New Orleans and the one in peace the victory over the national banks in 1928.

that great old man. his body racked with pain, his life sought by the assassin, cen sured by the senate, prosecuted by the press, harassed by all the forces at the command of the old national bank and it's branches, standing immovable through it all, and finally triumphant over it all? (Ap- plause). Every great career, whether of nation or an individual says Parton in his Life of Andrew Jackson,' dates from an heroic action, and every downfall from a cowardly one. What is true of a nation, or individual, is likewise true of a political party.
 Suppose in the last democratic national convention the party had shown the slight est disposition to temporize with the oppo- sition-to compromise principles-the defeat at the polls would have been overwhelming and ignominious.
 "Whereas, a courageous stand for what was believed then and is believed now to be right won the respect of the masses and made the result of that famous contest, under all the circumstances, a great vic- tory for the restoration of the money of the ages and rule by the people. (Applause).
 It Was Very Close
 "The contest was much closer than many
 
 Kentucky, of 1000 in California, of HOO in Oregon, of 5000 in North Dakota, of $500 in West Virginia and 5000 in Indiana would have given our nominees AS more electoral votes-one more than majority.
 "The cause, you can rest assured, will lose no ground. The six million five hundred thousand voters who, aroused by the earn est. eloquence of great and courageous
  of combined wealth. will, like the followers of Jackson in their day, continue to rally under the banner of gold and silver till it waves in triumph over the nations capitol, as it does now over the capitols of a ma- jority of the states of the union.
 Besides, where the party has stood by its principles 1t is gaining strength; Ken lucky and Indiana, where the old battle of 1896 has been fought over again, have whirled back into line in no uncertain way; while in Maryland the party wavered and lost: and only won in New York because of the divisioa in the ranks of the repub- licans.
 "Time is proving the truth of the demo- cratic position. Since the failure of the Wolcott commission, it is conceded that in- ternational bimetallism is an Idle dream; anu lle EepttDhCduS dQIiiit, Dy cltlIS lut rc- cent rise In wheat, as an evidence of pros- perity, the truth of the democratic argu- ment, that the restoration of values gen. erally by the coinage of both gold and silver at 16 to 1 would be blessing to the people.
 "At the same time, the sister republic to the south goes on prospering under the double standard system of money; while, as a rule. In this country, under the single gold standard, only the petted. privileged, protected few, who plunder the rest of the people, are prospecting. Mexico is an object lesson to the world of the wisdom of true bimetallism. To those who imagine that country will ever go on a gold basis, can say that there is much more probability of this country returning to the double standard

This said the doctor. was similar to the struggle of William Jennings Bryan in 1886. Applause 'srhe battle we fought in 1S96' he continued was identical with the one he fought in 1928. He won and we lost If Jackson could speak now he would say fight on until victory crowns our efforts"
 Parted Company With Cleveland
 The doctor said the people had parted company with the only democratic presi- dent they had had since the war. And 1t would have been better" he thundered, If the democratic party had never known the name of Cleveland!" Great applause).
 He spoke of Cleveland having almost de- stroyed the party in Kentucky and said that he had led astray some of the best leaders in Alabama. The doctor closed with a burst of eloquence, which elicited voci- ferrous cheering.
 Hon. John W. fomlinson, chairman for Alabama of the National League of Bime- talfc clubs was introduced and spoke as follows:
 "It is well that nature has implanted in the bosom of man the love of the true hero. It is an inspiration to braver deeds and nobler conduct-a stimulus to be truly brave, to risk all rather than do, suffer or consent to injustice.
 "Who is not made better to have heard a great sermon, great speech, to have read a great book, to have seen a great play, or to have met, as tonight, to recall the his toric and heroic conduct of great man, an idol of the people, an illustrious exam pie?
 Andrew Jackson loved and believed in tha oonmon neonle the toilinp millions as they loved and believed in him. He fought their battles in war and in peace; but it was a victory for them in time of peace which won their supreme love for the hero of New Orleans. l refer to his victory over the money power of the day.

IL shows. in the opinion Of the naval Of
ficers. that IL Is not possible for a ship
the size of the Massachusetts and with
her maneuvering qualities, to get out OF
the harbor without touching the bottom
when the tide Is ebb and the wind
strong. The ship must pass on the
Brooklyn shore Of coenties reef, then
cross over TO the channel between Dis-
mond reef and the New York shore.
The turn Is too short for the Massachu-
