II chicago. July 2.-Four thousand people
81 orog5ei into the Auditorium tonight, de-
smile The swellering heat, to attend the po-
q r4.al meeting given under the auspices of
t5e Chicago platform Democrats.
II Was from first 10 last a silver meet
81 Ing an At4ed meeting, an antitrust and
Il snti-expaasion meeting. All the invited
n sneakers except Gov. Stone of Missouri,
y were present and each talked for less than
8 TWO nduuies declaring for 16 to l and
q against The war in the Philippines
& The speech of Mr.. Bryan evoked great
q enthusiasm among his hearers, especially
d when De- declared that the American gov
eminent should pursue in Luzon the same
4 policy as pursued in Cuba. His audience
vas in sympathy with his suggestions re-
elrIng the Philippines and punctuated
his speech with cheers.
The meeting was largely made up of the
local adherents Of the Chicago platform
and personal followers of ex-Gov Altgeld.
The meeting therefore partook somewhat
OF the nature of a personal tribute to him
Many IF the speakers alluded to him IN
lauiatory icrms and at every mention Of
Il ms name the audience shouted approval
\ Mr. Alleged did not occupy a seat upon
the platform, but throughout the meeting
remained IN the rear part OF an upper box
aud only made his appearance at the front
Of the box when the demand of the au-
denca 10 hear from HIM became too loud
for Chairman C.aience S. DarIow to sub
& due. About one-half of the members of the
81 NAT 0ual committee occupied seats on the
PLATFORM, the balance of them failing TO
d put in an appearance.
Clarence $. Darrow, who presided, made
a short speech defining the objects of the
meeting, and then introduced j. p. Tarvin
Of Kentucky, who spoke in part, as fol
lows:
Free From Money Power.
For the first time since the close of the
civil war, great national political organ
zauon stands free from the domination
Of the organized money power of the land
The Democratic party in 1896 declared and
by parted company with the Clevelands,
the Wnineys The Belmonts and other rep
resentatves of capital. 1t isAour desire
that The Democratic party shall retain its
Independence, and stand as the representa-
I've ald agent of the labor and the pro-
ducers of the nation If this is to be, the
/ voters must control the organization, not
tae organization the voters. Power and
authority must come from the voters to
l-e or5anizaton not from the organiza-
/ Ton 10 the voters. This condition is best
brought about by the spread and mainte-
nance OF individual thought and individ-
ua. ifeadom Of action in matters public
ana political. In addressing an audience
tot long since, speaker said, Personally,
! iaVor the Chicago platform and the
nomination of Mr. Bryan in 1900 but
81 am Wiling TO leave these matters to wiser
81 1eads ilan nine
rom this proposition l must wholly
81 ussent Ii we are willing to leave these
matters to wiser heads than ours, those
ri VINO are wiser than we are may find others
sud- wiser than they are and fewer in
NUMBER And the process would go on
Fl uuu- The logical result would be the leav-
ing of these matters to some one who
Msht happen 10 be deemed the wisest of
as al Sdch result would be destruc-
