SOLID FOR BRYAN.
4 Mass Meeting of Democrat. in the
Thirteenth District.

mass meeting Of Democrats of the
Thirteenth district met last night in Cos
telEo's Hall. in G Street. The hall was
crowded with the loyal followers OF Will
lam Jennings Bryan. who had assembled
10 help forward the movement to send
delegates to the Kansas City Convention
from the District of Columbia pledged 10
support the Nebraskan and to vote for the
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform.
The meeting was called 10 order by
Henry w Martin, Treasurer of the Anti
Trust League, who presided. The frs:
speaker was William A Ryan, OF Rcches-
Ter, y. Y, who spoke OF the necessity of
being careful in the choice of delegates to
Kansas City. because a deep-laid plot had
been recently disclosed to defeat Bryan in
the Democratic National Convention. lie
said that he had received but few hours
before. d message from Mr.. Bryan which
justified the action of the Bryan workers
OF the District in insisting that the men
who 20 TO Kansas City TO represent them
shall be men who can be trusted to obey
their wishes. This action on the part o.
The District Democracy. he believed had
forced the declaration OF Admiral Dewey
Mr. Ryan explained that he had just
returned from New York. and while there
had received undoubted proof that tire
plan TO put forward the name OF Admiral
Dewey had been concocted three months
ago. II was an effort, pure and simple,
he said, to sidetrack Mr.. Bryan in the
convention. The plan had certain salient
points, which he would mention. They
were, first, that Mr.. Bryan should visit
the Legislature OF Virginia, and then that
of Maryland there to be refused a vote
endorsing the Chicago platform. The sec
ond move was to send uninstructed dele
gates TO Kansas City from the District of
Columbia. to cooperate there with others
Of the same illE to make up one-thrd of
the convention against Bryan. And finally,
the name of the Admiral was TO be
brought out at the proper moment to
stampede the body and wrest the nomina
tion from the standard bearer of the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Ryan declared that while in New
York he had learned that a secret meet

some Ringing Speeches in support
of Bryan's Candidacy-

The Georgetown Democrats held mass
meeting last night at Forrest Hall. 1886
Thirty-second Street to endorse the can
didacy of William Jennings Bryan for
President. The meeting was distinctly pro-
Holmead in sentiment. Mr.. Holmead was
present. and addressed the audience. The
other speakers were William A Ryan, of
Rochester. n. Y: Gen. J. Floyd King. OF
Louisiana; Charles Slater. and Patrick j.
Ryan of the District.
Mr.. Holmead said:
The enemies CT Bryan in the District
have said that this is a Norris and Hol-
mead fight The Star and the 'Pozt' of
the city of Washington. have repeatedly
made this statement to deceive you. II is
not as they would have you believe. 1t is
most emphatically a Bryan and and-Bryan
fight And this fight in the District Of Co
lumbia has opened the eyes of the Ma
tiOnal Democratic Committee to the eXis-
tence of a conspiracy-it has discovered the
wolves in the Sleeps fold. who are work
ing under the cloak of the Democratic
party to defeat the nomination of Bryan
for President. The Central Committee Of
the District have promised to select in
structed delegates to the National Con-
venticn. But il is not within their power
10 keep such a promise. even il made In
good faith. For the Central Committee will
give place to the District Convention. who
may or may not select instructed delegates
to the National Convention. as they see fit.
Therefore, do not send to the District Con
vention either--NoFIis Democrats or Hol-
mead Democrats, but send Bryan Demo-
Gratis. who Will stick to Bryan first, last,
and all the time. " Mr.. HOlmead stated
that he had been elected a delegate at the
Chicago convention of 1896, and that he
went there a gold man, but he heard Bryan
and became silver Democrat and had re-
manned so ever since.
William A. Ryan addressed the meeting
for nearly an hour. His speech was en-
Enthusiastically received. After criticism OF
the present Administration. he said: No
pages of history will be written with the
records OF corruption, venality and weak
ness, as will these that bear testimony TO
the acts of the Administration of William
Mckinley" The speaker referred to Mr..
Bryan as the greatest leader Democracy
has known since Jefferson and Jackson.
combining the wisdom of the former with
the indomitable courage OF the latter.

the trusted followers of Grover Cleveland
had been held at a certain hotel. 1t was
evident to him and to others whom he
intimately knew. declared Mr.. Ryan, that
these leaders OF the Dewey cause were in
CONSERVATION. They had been forced n
SHOW their hands before they were ready.
They had done all they could. and would
do all they could, thought Mr. Ryan. to
defeat the Democratic candidate OF 1896
II was not Bryan. said the speaker, they
were trying to defeat, but what Bryan
stands for
Mr. Ryan then entered into a long dis
cussion OF the power of wealth and its
concentration in the hands of the few.
Some Democrats. he said, were Of the
wealthy class. anI wealth in Democratic
hands was as mean as in Republican
hands. and it was that. he thought which
constituted the chief danger to the party
in the Dewey movement.
Charles W. Slater and William l.. Hol
mead delivered brief speeches, both ad-
vocating the sending of pledged delegates
TO the Kansas City Convention. While
the latter was speaking, reference was
made to the local opponent Of Mr.. Hol-
mead. James I.-Norris. This brought to
his feet Hugh Cosgrove who asked per-
mission TO present a question TO Mr.. Hol
mead. Permission being granted Cos
grove asked What has Mr.. Norris ever
done that you should distrust him as a
delegate to Kansas City or anywhere
else?'
Mr. Holmead replied: He has said that
he objects 10 going 10 the convention
pledged
Cosgrove-were you, Mr.. Ho!mead.
gold Democrat after the adoption of the
Chicago platform?
Holmead-Before going TO Chicago I was
a gold Democrat but the address of Mr..
Byran before the convention converted me
to the views of 16 to l. which have since
consistently held.
Cosgrove-Did you not say in conversa-
tion with me long after your return from
Chicago that you could not swallow this
l6 to / idea?
Holmead-I deny that l ever made Snr
such admission.
Cosgrove-Well, | have afidavits in my
possession to prove that you did say that,
which l can produce.
While this colloquy was going on in
tense excitement prevailed in the hall, and
as soon as the questioning was over some
one called for three cheers for Norris,
which were given by the friends of that
gentleman. who were present in consdera-
Bile numbers. Pandemonium reigned for a
few minutes. but order was finally re-
stored by Mr. Holmead. who arose and
proposed three cheers and a tiger for
W. J. Bryan.
Brief speeches were then delivered by
Gen J. Floyd King of Louisiana, W. F.
Sergeant of Texas and Judge B. F. Looney,
also from the Lone Star State. after which
the meeting adjourned.

CONSISTENCY.

The fact that the garbage, which is
dumped by the Kaena some miles out
at sea, is gently waited to the shores
of Oahu is one that should occupy the
attention of some member of the Board
of Health. 1t is certainly highly in
sanitary for the city refuse to be wash
ed ashore at Waikiki beach, and then
have the wharf rats, and the beach
filth gatherers enjoy perfect holocaust
of muck
Where is the consistency of condemn
ing a quantity of insanitary foodstuff
and then allowing it to be picked up
along the coast by any portion of the
community that is ignorant enough or
careless enough to enjoy garbage col
lection? The duty of the Board of
Health is to prevent the garbage col
lectors from carrying on their insani-
tary trade but it looks very much as
if the Board of Health understood very
little about how it's decision in regard
to getting rid of refuse may result.
The eggs and rotten fruit which are
washed ashore are probably not much
liable to breed disease as they were
when lying on the wharf and loudly
proclaiming their existence The only
thing that has been reached is to spread
them over a wider area, and let them
be annexed by a wider clientele than
when on the wharf
That the Board of Health has a great
deal to- do at present, in fact that it is
overrun with work is perfectly true but
the Board should divide its work among
its members and let some one of them
look after the garbage matter A large
sum of money is being expended IN
this direction and care should be taken
that it is well spent. The money is not
well spent of the most dangerous part
of the condemned stuff floats ashore
If it is only to have a sea bath, it would
be cheaper to have sea water pumped
on it by an engine and then let the
garbage pickers wade in and help
themselves .H.f"'

The city was reused to fever heat on
account of the danger from rats a short
time ago, but it got rather cooled down
when some four hundred inspectors and
sub-inspectors distributed the innocu-
GUS official rat poison. But the SAM
tary Committee ought not to let that
rebuff influence their energy A thor
ough rat campaign ought to be institut-
ed, and there should be no let up TO
it. If the committee will once more
take the work in hand, and the inspec-
tors and sub-inspectors do not mind
little chaff, for every Portuguese and
Chinaman is laughing at them, some
thing in a different way might be ac-
complished. The Star would suggest
viii f. Fisher as an emnently suitable
gentleman to superintend the rat cam
paign.

The term Khaki" which has been
used so much during the Philippine war
and in South Africa, is derived from
the Persian word KHAKI, meaning earth
or dust, and Khaki means of the color
of the earth or dust. Originally manu-
featured in India, it is now made in
Great Britain and in the United States
Khaki is not always made of cotton
but a Khaki serge is also made and is
now in use among the regiments In

Mr. Smith made a very damaging ad-
mission in the Board of Health yester-
day. Quoting from an editorial which
appeared in last nights Star he read
the words "a minority (of the Board)
is in favor of treating the stables in
the same manner as other places" and
then stated II know this is not so" and
other members of the Board are report
ed to have emphasized the remark
That the Hotel stables have been treat
ed differently to other places is fact
that the public have claimed, but this is
the first time that a member of the
Board has openly stated thai fact, and
apparently every member of the Board
has made up his mind to show this dis
elimination. OF course it is a some
what startling admission, but it GER
tainly has the merit of boldly stating
a very unhappy fact. The Star amends
its former statement, with apologies
According to the unanimous wish OF
the Board, the stables are NOT to be
treated as other places.
