by the administration while this war was
in progress.
The speaker then propounded this con-
stitutional question: What power has
the President or Congress to get rid OF
territory belonging to the United States
which has been once acquired?
He then went on to tell how when this
treaty with Spain was trembling IN the
balance, Bryan came on to Washington
and by his influence succeeded in hay
ing this treaty ratified. No one proposed
IN the Senate to make the Filipinos
free. He showed that all OF the respon-
sibility for the ratification of this treaty.
Bryan had turned the Senator from
his own state to vote for it. The treaty
was ratified by one vote. Bryan is now
getting sore on this subject. He now
says that he thought it was better to
have the treaty ratified than TO trust to
diplomacy to get rid of this territory. He
thought that Congress could do this bet
ter than could diplomats. The idea of
Congress getting rid Of this territory.
Why no Congress has ever been able to
get rid of any of our territory, and no
Congress will ever be able to get rid of
any of our territory as long as the stars
shine. (Applause.)
In concluding the discussion of this
question, Gen. Grosvenor said that 1t was
really a very simple matter. The war
in the Philippines had been encouraged
by Bryan and his friends. Tt makes no
difference to me who fired the first shot
In that war. It is sufficient for me to
know that that shot was tired at man
in blue standing under the Stars and
Stripes And until the people who are
firing these shots stop shooting they are
my enemies. (Applause.)
Gen Grosvenor then went on to re-
view the history of the Porto Rican tariff
bill. In the course OF his statement Gen.
Grosvenor said that these Democrats
seemed to think that If an American
ship ran up to a cannibal island and
took possession of it, and a poor naked
negro came running down to the beach,
from that moment this poor naked man
was entitled to all the rights Of an Anne
rican citizen. In the treaty OF Paris 1t
was expressly stipulated that the people
of the Philippine islands and Porto
Rico should not become citizens of the
United States, but should be subject to
the will of Congress ever thereafter.
Why II the Democrats are right, the
Filpinos are citizens OF the United States
and they can come over here by the
million and drive your laboring men out
of your work. Ii the Republicans are
right in this matter-these people are not
citizens ana never will be and they can
never drive the American laboring men
out of their work.
am not here to defend the Republican
party, but to attack the Democratic par
ty. In three states these Democrats are
merchandising thousands of men and
depr1ving them of their just rights with
out the consent of the governed. We
will take care Of these Fil1pinos in our
own way and IL the laboring men know
what's best for them they will vote for
Mckinley. / know something about the
needs OF the working men for have ten

piece OF trust legislation had 1t referred
to his own committee and It was never
heard Of again.
Mr.. Evans said that he would take but
minute to talk about the currency
question. He said that Bryan showed
what Imperialism is when he sat IN his
easy chair at Lincoln, Nebraska and de-
manded a free silver plank, and the
Democrats did not dare to refuse him
this. He said that the people did not
fear the legislation of the Republican
party; they did not fear the Republican
money or the Republican conditions.
he said that this country now had about
one fourth Of all the gold IN the world.
The wealth of the United States has
passed all other nations. It Is equal to
the wealth of both Germany and Russia.
This, the speaker claimed, was due to
the Republican policy of encouraging
home industries. The Southern people
know that it IS the Republican policies
which give them prosperity.
In conclusion, Mr.. Evans said he knew
OF no state with a better representation
in the DIST Congress, when it had there
the 'Dig four. He made pleasant ref
erences to Reed and to DingIey, and each
mention of these names brought forth a
whirlwind of applause.
He said that the Republican party had
carried on a foreign war with little bur-
den to the people. The party not only
paid one hundred and nine millions of
the national debts, but it had also paid
for q foreign war and because of it's bust
ness like methods had surplus in the
treasury in June last, thing never
known even In times of peace, under a
Democratic administration, He closed
his rather short address by giving an in
teresting account of the government pom
sion bureau and of It's system and then
urged upon Names voters to stand
steadily in the ranks and roll up a big
vote at the coming election.
Gen. Grosvenor, Congressman from
Ohio, was the next speaker. He was Civ
en- an ovation which lasted for some min
utes. Contrary to expectations Of many
Of those present he made no reference
whatever to Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire.
Gen. Grosvenor said that he had spok-

that time he said, he spoke after Zach"
Chandler, and when the clock, struck
nine on that occasion n great part of the
audience vanished. (Laughtr.) lie said
that he should talk only about one
question. The one new question Is the
charge made against the Republican par
ty that because of that party's legisla-
ton this country is drifting towards des-
potism. He said it was hard question
to discuss because Imperialism is q pipe
dream. 1t would not be four weeks be-
fore this cry of imperialism Will be
abandonedsby the Democratic party. he
then proceeded to give history OF the
cause of the Spanish war. He referred to
the fact that the President of the United
States had tried to avert war. Gen.
Grosvenor said he had stood by the
President in this and he was proud OF
it because he had seen something laDout
war. He said that the Democratic party
seemed jealous to drag us into war.
Gen. Grosvenor said that it gave him
great pleasure to say that in all that
exciting time there was no man who

General Grosvenor replied as follows
to Senator Chandler last evening:

Hon. W. K. Chandler, Concord, New
Hampshire:
In pointing out the certainty of free sill

of Bryan I had before me the votes of

derstood and I may have confused the
votes against the bill with my estimate
But | assure~yOu did not intend to
class you in favor of free coinage. On
the contrary l have always understood
that upon the bald question as demanded
IN the Bryan platform you opposed it.
Certainly you did vote against free coin
age amendments to the bill. In speaking
as I did of your successor by no
means intended to have 1t advertised
was thinking OF any other than yourself.
I admit we all have moved up little
since 1896 toward a clearer definition Of
the gold standard. You may have held
on longer to the old landmarks. In the
meantime the country has accepted the
platform of four years ago as meaning
that which is embodied in the financial
legislation Of this Congress and PhiladeI-
phia platform and SO we are all together
and your position has been consistent.
