Providence, r. l., Sept. 3.-The first of
the series Of. meetings arranged by the
New England Bime.alnc League in the in
terests Of bimetaIism, was held at Cres-
cent Park this afternoon.
The session was held in a large open
area, the audience occupying the seats of
the grand stand surrounding it. All around
the platform on the outside were the noisy
money-making attractions of Crescent
Park, which materially interfered with the
attention Of the audience 70 the snesters.
and with the ability of the speakers to
make themselves heard
The Platform was decorated with the
national colors together with those of
Great Britain, Ireland France and Cuba.
Judge James P. Tarvin of Kentucky was
the first speaker He said that it becomes
every day better understood that The only
Democrats in this land are tohse who ac-
cept and believe in, and are ready to vote
for the Chicago platform of 1886 as a
whole. The efforts of political bosses in
New York city, Chicago, and elsewhere to
obstruct and to defeat those who declared
for the laborer and producer before the
holders of capital and organizers OF
nothing left for them but to choose be
tween the pretense of party loyalty and
an open transfer 10 RepubHcanism.
Same Platform and Bryan.
1--WE will have again the platform made
by the people in 1896, and there will not be
a dissenting voice when William j. Bryan
is placed on the platform to again lead
the common and obscure people Of this
land in a contest against the control of
the government by those representing the
money power of the Union.
THAT platform will be added to. There
win be appropriate declara lions as to i'm
perialism and trusts, and as for me l
would be glad TO see declaration favor
able to the public ownership of public
utilities; a declaration favorable to the in
itbative and referendum; and a demand for
the election of United States senators and
United States judges by the people"

castle references to President Mckinley,
his arraignment of the Philippine war, and
his eulogy of Aguinado as one of the
greatest men of the century, were APP
plauded
AItgeId Loudly Cheered.
There was prolonged cheering when ex-
Gov. John P. Altgeld of Illinois was in
troduced. Owing to the fact that his adj
devoted to a detailed discussion of the
monetary question, he simply dealt in
generalties at the meeting to-day. He
said, in substance, that for years the peO-
pie west of the Alleghenies have looked
with reverence toward New England. The
New England brains, ideas, literature ana
standard have shaped the destinies of the
republic. II has looked for years as
though their sons were to lower the old
New England standard, and as though
they were going to forget the traditions
of their fathers, and bring everything
down to low, sordd basis. He said,
however that he was glad to learn that
this was a mistake, and that mighty
host had arisen, which will keep alive the
feeling of liberty in old New England.
There was a period in New Eng,and's
history he said when the mills and fac
tories were running day and night and
market was found for everything made.
Then the people were ! empoye at iv-
ing wages and were prosperous. The vol
ume of money in the world al that tire
was twice the amount in existence to-day,
because silver was issued at its proper
ratio and had its proper pace in the mon
etary plans.
The speaker argued that the remoneu
cation of silver would afford an oppor-
tunity for the wage earners to have more
money to spend and thus open the markets
at home which would utilize to the fullest
extent the products OF the country.
AT the close of the Governors address
there were calls for Senator Tiilman, who
in response, promised TO bring his three
pronged pitchfork 10 the meeting to-mor-
row and use it with good effect.
