Persons Heard ex-Congressman By
mum and Mr.. Maher at the Opera
House Last Night.
Ex-Congressman w. D. Bynum, of
Indiana, and Mr. Maher addressed a
Republican meeting at the Opera House
last night. The Republican leaders no
doubt profited by their experience at
the General Sickles meeting, and did
not announce that last nights rally was
arranged Jointly by the Republicans
and Gold Democrats. The Intelligencer
did not take any long chances and pub
lish the names of supposed Gold Demo-
Gratis as vice presidents, without their
knowledge or consent. Bynum was q
former Democrat. leaving the party on
the money question in 1896.
The meeting could hardly be called a
success. Several companies of Rough
Riders were out, and there was consid-
cradle noise on the streets. Both speak
ers were entertaining and held their
audience fairly we'll, but at no time
were there more than six hundred per-
sons in the theatre. The gallery was
not half full, and there were many
empty seats In the orchestra circle.
When 1t is considered that the theatre
seats only about eight hundred and
fifty, perhaps some Republicans will be
fair enough to admit that the Register
has even exaggerated the attendance.
Councilman Baird was chairman OF
the meeting, and Mr.. Maher was the

Sir-The soup bowl cartoon printed
in the Intelligencer OF this date should
have had the Republican label on it. I
suppose it was an oversight, which I
will try to correct. The only soup
house ever run in Wheeling was dur
ing the administration OF President
Grant. Then 1t was that the city dished
out highly diluted soup in pals and
pitchers to the poor people, and told
them TO be thankful. Under the Demo-
cratic rule Of President Cleveland II
was different Good bread. bacon, po-
tatoes, -four, cheese. beans. and also
shoes and clothing. were distributed.
The supplies were contributed by gen.
erous citizens and did not cost the city
one cent. There will be soup in abund-
ance on the 7th OF November, and the
Intelligencer and its party will be in it.

bcyish looking, but has pleasing
style. In fact, there was considerably
more style than argument. Mr.. Maher
constructs false premises. and by his
peculiar method can prove any propo-
sition. He asserted that the trust Ques-
ton does not belong to politics, but to
economies. and later Mr.. Bynum gravely
stated that Federal power has been ex-
! hausted In dealing with the trusts, and
that additional legislation against the
evil is impossible. He held out no
hope for those who are paying exor-
bitant prices for necessities, and Is
hardly in line with the Republican
! speakers who say there are good and
bad trusts, and that the Republicans
will take care of the bad ones.
Mr.. Maher said that every man is out
| for himself, regardless of his political
belief. but he did not explain why the
great trust magnates are Republicans,
and why they are contributing to the
Republican campaign fund. II protec-
| ton fosters trusts, he wanted to know
why they had grown so rapidly during
the last few years only. He said the
Republican antitrust law killed of
New trusts. but they are hydra-headed
and they managed to get around the
law.
In discussing the issue of imperial
ism. Mr. Maher said that II the admins
tration had been looking solely to the
interests Of Americans, wisdom would
have dictated an abandonment of the
Philippines. but he said this govern
ment was considering the best interests
OF the Filipinos also. He might have
| carried his argument further and even
criticized the administration for not
interfering in South Africa, and for
not gobbling up savage or half civilized
communities elsewhere, and shooting
civic virtues into them He said he lad
been informed that the insurgents rep
resent only minority of the natives,
and to turn over the government to them
would be permitting what Mr. Bryan
complains Disagreement without
the consent of the governed" 1--WE are
ia the Philippines he said, mot for
conquest, but to give them self-govern-
ment."
Mr.. Bynum, who followed Mr.. Maher.
gave some definite idea about when the
Filipinos will be ready for self-govern-
ment. 1T may be fifty or it may be
hundred years." he said.
Mr.. Bynum questioned the honesty
OF Bryan in many respects. He ac-
cGsed him of lacking patriotism and of
playing for politics. He said Mckinley
would not say what ne proposes to do
with the Philippines, because he did not
know.
Mr.. Bynum. quoted Mark Hanna as
saying there are no trusts. and the
spaker said that in the strict meaning
Of the law Hanna was right. He ex-
pialned now under the operations of
Republican antitrust laws the combi-
nations had been forced to dissolve. but
mad been permitted to reorganize into
one gigantic monopoly. There was
nothing to prevent this, he said. for
legislation would be useless. He said
he never wanted to see the time when
the Federal power could stick its nose
into mans private business. He said
neither party favors the trusts, but he
probably overlooked the fact that the
trusts favor one of the parties, and it
is not the Democratic party.
The remainder Of his talk was de-
voted to the money question.
