On the trust question Mr.. Hammond
answered Bryan again saying that
most OF the trusts were imaginary. He
said the Democrats propose no rem
edy, and then proceeded TO show that
Bryan's remedy would not work.
Colonel Bryan was criticised for com
pairing Mckinley TO George III, and
congress to the Spanish eortez, but
the speaker steered clear of Porto Rico,
the cause Of Colonel Bryans cOmpari-
son.
In closing, Mr. Hammond said: 81
favor retaining the Philippines and
giving the Filipinos representation to
the extent Of their ability"
Mr.. Hammond was given a splendid
reception when he arose to speak. but
his remarks aroused no enthusiasm
the band played the Star Spangled
Banner" with everybody standing, and
this created much enthusiasm.
Arthur Brown For Silver.
Arthur Brown was introduced as one
whose opinions are as fixed as the
laws of the Modes and Persians."
He began by answering Bryan on
the trust question, saying that he
was too ignorant to understand il and
was making a chronic howl because
somebody is not as rich as somebody
else. He pointed to the Daly-West and
the Silver King as made rich by the
Republican party, eulogized protection
and said Bryan's only remedy for the
trusts was free trade
Mr.. Brown gave his idea of expansion
and Imperialism. 1t is summed up in
this: We own the ocean; the islands
were waiting for God and the Repub-
lican party TO take them in hand. Take
them, yes; take them all; Cuba includ-
ed. Well take everything for the good
God and ourselves"
The great surprise Of Mr.. Brown s
speech was his declaration for the free
coinage Of silver at Is to l. His exact
words were: i am in favor Of a return
to the free coinage of silver at 16 to L.
He did not explain how he and his
party would return" headed as at
Present. He said Bryan was a false
silver prophet; that he favored free pa
per; that he was in favor of green
backs. Il favor good, hard money,
said Mr.. Brown, and nothing but hard
money. The Democrats favor paper or
any other cheap money
Mr.. Brown took up the last resolu-
ton of the Democratic platform, read
1t. endorsed the first part of 1t and con-
demned the latter part. He said that
the people Of Utah had kept faith and
that Mr.. Roberts was not refused his
seat on that account.
BALD Eagle" Introduced.
Bill Glasmann was introduced as the
'BaId-headed Eagle of the Weber" He
ridiculed Judge King for talking two
hours about the Republican platform.
and proceeded 10 say that Mckinley s
administration was the Republican
platform. Glasmann was going at a
great rate when some one called out
Does your platform endorse the Per
to Rican TARIFF
This brought the bald eagle to full
stop for a minute. but he lodged and
went on.
The ST. Louis PLATFORM said Hon.
Bill, pledged the Republican party to
maintain the single gold standard until
we can get international bimetallfsm.
Mckinley has redeemed that pledge. lis
there anything wrong with that?"
Nobody saw anything wrong, but
Mr.. Hammond cank down three
nOtches in his chair.
H. Anderson closed the speaking. He
criticised Judge Kings political Judg-
ment in aspiring TO the senate two
years ago; endorsed everything the ad-
nllni5tra ton had done or might do IN
regard to the Philippines, and told a
story likening Cleveland TO a polecat.
The meeting closed with a song, THE
Sweetest Story" by the glee club.
There was much confusion, cat calls
and hooting mixed with applause while
Brown and Glasmann were speaking.
