THEY CHEERED AGUINALDO.
BRYAN DEMOCRATS APPLAUDED THE
NITION,S ENEMY

Words Are Received with shouts of APP
provai-Cheers for the Filipino Leader
Arc Called For and Given with n Will.
The rally OF tho Chicago Platform Democrats
at Cooper Union last night was turned into
ratification meeting for Aguinaldo
before It came to an end Each
Of the speakers referred to tho war
in the Philippines as the murder Of innocent
savages" The resolutions denounced Presi-
dent Mckinley and the American campaign in
the Philippines as a grossly i'm m oral assault on
the believers Of our principles OF Government
and cruel and brutal attempt to crush weak
people who are bravely contending for tho
exercise OF their natural and God-given right
Of sef-government. But 1t remained for Con-
grsssman Ientz OF Ohio. to bring out the real
treason. and he did it with evident delight.
WORDS OF TREASON CHEERED.
Cooper Union has been the scene OF all sorts
OF demonstrations by all sorts of people in the
interests OF all sorts OF things but probably
never before was Cooper Union crowd asked
to cheer for the leader OF people
with whom the country Is at
war The money issue" shouted
this Congressman will keep. But IL you MUIR
der Aguinaldo. you have destroyed one OF the
heroes OF tho world" There was tremendous
urroar. few Kisses and much cheering. and
when the tumut died down. voice yelled
Three cheers for Aguinaldo." and they were
given.
Again Lentz said II fail to see why It 10 not
as appropriate for Aguinaldo to say Give
me liberty or give me death as 1t was
for Patrick Henry to say it," and there was
more cheering. Further on he declared that
this country had bought the Filipnos at So
head and that IL 1t bought people it
would sell them. Therefore. he would
like TO have the country sell the
State Of Maine to Great Britain. He
thought that Great Britain would give $50
head for the Maine people, and the coun-
try would get its money back for the
Payment to Spain At another time Lentz
declared that it was Aguinaldo who
compelled the surrender of Manila.
Altogether this Congressman made n record
for himself. not even second to that OF Edward
Atkinson Of Boston.
CHEERS FOR ALTGELD; KISSES FOR CROKER.
For once Cooper Union wasn't damned full
and at O'Clock, the hour the meeting was to
begin. those who had been kept out Of
the reserved seats. waiting TOR holders
Of tickets TO come and occupy them. were
permitted to rush forward This left a
fringe Of empty seats around the hack OF the
hail AMI at each side OF tho platform. A few
moments later there was wild whoop
thai started in the centre Of tho hall. was taken
up on all sides and that swelied into mighty
roar of enthusiasm. 1t was greeting
ia the Hon. John Pardon AltGed, who arrived
in tow OF two single-taxers. and Judge
James p. Tarvn. the talker from Kentucky.
After the first uproar had died away. a
oE-horn voice in the rear of the hall
bnwl"d. Three cheers for tho Giant OF tho
Northwest" and they were given. Then an
other voice walled. There's only one Altgeldl"
and another one on the other side OF the build
ing. There's only one Bryan" and little
biz Of voice back blythe entrance squeaked
There's only one Croker" whereupon it
sounded az II n steam engine was letting off
it, surplus energy in the middle OF the hall, so
vigorous was the Kissing.
James r. Brown. one OF the single-tnIers
who had escorted Mr.. AtGcld in. called the
meeting to order and announced: I'VE are

u Chicago platform Democrats. Democracy
means something more than a hunt for office
To The Chicago platform is the highroad
t. happiness to peace. to prosperity, to the
rights OF the masses. 70 everything our fathers
Thought worth lighting for" Whereupon the
croYi hovlol itself hoarse. Mr.. Brown
declared that the State al New York had
almost forgotten what the "sacred name" De-
mocracy meant. He declared lot Of other
things OF equal importance and then he intro
durrd JudE" Tarvn. The Judge carefully
surveyed his audience while it yelled well

far oil Wilderness Of Kentucky. Of which place
perhaps many of you in the efIotc East have
never heard"
It's place o. whiskey." bawleG voice.
LESSONS THAT KENTUCKY TEACHES.
All" said the Judge. with much dignity. Il
have heard many visitors from New York and
other places say that our whskey is very
good" The crowd shouted its approval. Il
have come from that State" continued the
Judge. where everything is peace and seren-
ity. to try and tell you people Of New York how
t. carry On the state Convention in love
and harmony. Indeed and in truth. Ken
lucky is State wherein no boss can live The
last one who attempted to play that role. is now
in New York trying to organize trusts.
His name is Carlisle" And the
steam engine full OF Kisses started
again The only bosses in kentucky" said
the Judge again, are the ladies who have
husbands. The only slaves are the men who
have wives" which fine sentiment was cheered
to the echo.
The Judge declared that 1t is the law OF God
that every man born into tho world had the
right born with him to exercise such gifts OF
body and mind as he received at birth.
and that no set Of men could take away
that right. whereat there was another
season OF cheering. The Judge protested
against legislation that tended to disturb the
operation OF this law. as well as against any
Legislation that would take away from any
man any part OF his earnings and give
it to another. Then he declared that
the real Anarchists OF New York were
tho representatives OF the organized
wealth Of the land. He said that the word
anarchist meant men opposed to law. society
and the Government. and under that definition
came tho representatives OF wealth who
are now living in the United states But he
said. the definition OF anarchist that these
representatives OF wealth had sought to pro-
mugate took in only the believers in tho
Chicago platform. which to his mind was y
declaration OF the laws OF God and the laws
of nature. and raising both hands high above
his head and shaking from top to toe. he
roared: Under this definition | would
